Your Dog’s New Bestie

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.

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!

Schedule

I’m currently working from home so I have flexible hours to play your pups! I am generally free in the mid-mornings and afternoons with the most availability on Wednesday/Friday/weekends.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Nikki can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
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
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
