Your dog's (2nd) best friend!
Pet care experience
Top priority- To have your pup feel home away from home in a stress free atmosphere. I am the only human in a lower duplex with a spare room if kenneling is preferred. I work from home and my little roommate could use some socialization from your fur pal. If your dog can read another dog’s body language, let us play! Walks, snuggles, plays and tail wags with your baby shall be had! Any special requests, favorites or "your house" rules can be easily accommodated for consistency, and I am available by phone all day for updates, photos or questions. Thanks for your consideration! I look forward to play dates and slumber parties.

Nikki is great with my dog Zeus (the black Schnoodle in the pics). Lil Zeus loves Nikki and gets baths, plays and treats every time he goes over to her. Shes flexible and trustworthy as i wouldn't trust just anyone with Z.
Nikki helped us out immensely by watching our dog one weekend on pretty short notice, and our dog was so happy and loved it! We have a somewhat "challenging" dog, very high energy and needs jobs. Nikki handled her with no problem, and played with her a lot inside and out to wear her out and occupy her. Our dog felt right at home with Nikki, and I would have he watch our dog again in a heartbeat!
Nikki is a great dog sitter! I have known her for many many years and can also say she is a great person. We live 5 hours away from each other but I have brought my weird cattle dog, Kaya, to Nikki to dog sit because Kaya loves her even though they only see each other a few times a year! And my dog is not "normal". She is scared of going for walks on leashes, yet is high energy, scared of loud noises, scared of random household objects, she is nervous around new people, she is always on high alert, she just has a lot of quirks that take a special doggy sitter and Nikki is definitely top of the line! Last time I picked up Kaya she was actually asleep on her side, like she was completely relaxed and comfortable with Nikki in a new place for the weekend! Which is amazing since Kaya is always on such high alert. I've caught her sleeping while standing up so for her to actually be relaxed and tired let me know she was well cared for! Kaya always seems excited to see Nikki (and so do I!) FIVE STARS!
Nikki is my Daughter. Our family is filled with dog lovers. Nikki was a dog lover from day one. She has a heart of gold and her greatest story of love is that with her beloved Daisy Mae. Daisy was a rescue Jack Russell Terrier that Nikki got when Daisy was 5. The rest is a story of dedication, love and devotion. Love that was given and taken. Love so much that convinced so many people that Daisy wasn't just Nikki's pet but Daisy was in fact a member of the family like everybody else in it. From the expensive hip operations to getting Daisy dressed on Sundays for the Green Bay Packer Games to her treatment of the terrible disease that ended her life. Yes, Nikki loved many dogs over the years, took care of friends dogs when they were gone and proved her love all those years with Daisy. I am a dog lover. I would not endorse Nikki unless I truly believed her capabilities to love and care for someones pet. Nikki will be fine and any owner would be blessed to trust Nikki to care for their dog. She's a professional, responsible and extremely caring. A+ rating for Nikki.

A typical day
Typically Ruby and I roll out of bed around 8, have breakfast and start the day. My office is a whole ten feet from my bedroom so she knows the drill. Lunch hour consists of either a walk (temp permitting) playtime with toys or in the yard, or a good snuggle if she’s feeling lazy.
