Safety, trust & environment

Your fur baby’s safety is my number one priority! I will respect and treat your home as it were mine. I know that your trust is a mutual thing and I will honor the trust that you’ve given me to enter your home. I take your dog’s mental and physical safety seriously. I’ll do everything that I can to meet the needs of your pup and assure that they feel safe and comfortable with me. I’ll include updates and photos so that you have peace of mind! I have a fenced in yard in a safe neighborhood. My puppy is also vaccinated and will be neutered in a few months. However, if you’re uncomfortable with my dog being around yours, just let me know!

Information Nikki D. would like to know about your pet

Things that I’d like to know before my time with your pup: -expectations for me (includes communication, updates, photos, etc) -your pet’s routine (potty and feeding schedule) -commands that you use -activities that they enjoy -their behavior with other dogs and on/off leash -their activity level

A typical day

I love to take care of the emotional, social and physical needs of your dog! So this will include long walks around the neighborhood, playing at the park, going on a jog, extra sniffing time, and a game of catch or tug-o-war. And if they like to cuddle and snuggle, I will give them extra rubs and hugs!

Your Dog’s New Bestie

Pet care experience

I have loved animals (dogs in particular) since I was a child. My mom would never let me get a dog of my own so that obviously fueled my wants for a pet. When I was younger, I always dog-sat for my cousins and would pretend that I was their dog owner while they were away. This really solidified my undying love for dogs. I got my own puppy in June of 2024 and I couldn’t love her more!! I am in the puppy stage and currently training her — it’s a lot of work but I wouldn’t trade her for anything! I love to share my love for dogs and be able to meet and play with new dogs. I love to be active with my pup and potentially yours! I’ll match your dog’s activity level whether that be playing tug-o-war, lounging around, or taking long walks! I can also take your dog to the dog park for an additional fee to supplement gas.

Nikki was so great with our pups! So grateful that she was available on short notice to help walk our dogs. I appreciate how communicative she was as well. Looking forward to booking her again in the future! 😊

Nikki took great care of our 5mo pug puppy! And appreciated that she had a video chat with us beforehand. Would absolutely use Nikki again!
