Safety, trust & environment

I'll respect your home and privacy and love all the fur babies as my own. If your pet comes to my home for boarding or day care they will be treated life family. My dog and cats have full house access except the laundry room. They sleep in bed with me and get on the furniture. I have a fenced in yard for them to enjoy. I’ve had a dog with chronic conditions so I am familiar with recognizing changes from the norm once I get to know a pet.

Amazing first time experience! Nikki took great care of our animals and stayed in constant communication our whole trip which helped to alleviate my separation anxiety. I’m so glad we found her!

Nikki took excellent care of our pets. She made everything easy- clear communication during booking, regular updates with photos, and a good connection with our cat and dog.

We needed a short notice (less than two weeks) stay and Nikki went above and beyond to help us out. My dogs are OBSESSED with her and I couldn’t ask for a better person to watch the babies. She also leaves the house exactly how we left it and takes care in everything she does. Forever booking with her 💛
