I'm a teacher who now works remotely! I have a pretty flexible teaching schedule with many breaks built in throughout the day. Sticking to a routine feeding schedule and letting dogs out to use the bathroom should not be an issue.

Safety, trust & environment

I find that pets tend to be much more comfortable in their own environment, especially when meeting a new person! I am pretty proud of my ability to quickly build rapport with the pets I am sitting and really do want them to transition easily while you are away. I'm a clean and organized individual so you can rest assured your pets, plants, and overall home will be in good hands while you're away.

Information Nikki G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or little quirks I should be aware of. I’ll ask you plenty of questions about your pet when we do a meet and greet, but it’s nice to get a general idea of behavior beforehand.

A typical day

I am always up for an adventure and hope your pets are too! I’m happy to head to the dog park, take walks around the neighborhood, or check out scenic trails. If you prefer your pets to stay home while you’re away, we’ll fit in plenty of fetch and cuddles instead!

Teacher/Traveler/Trusted Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Nikki, a traveling teacher with a passion for exploring the world and building relationships. I've created my own tutoring business where I offer beginner Spanish lessons for kids and also assist families enrolled in virtual learning. I spend the summer and fall living in Milwaukee, WI close to family and friends, but once Jack Frost starts creeping in I head towards warmer weather. While my nomadic lifestyle does not allow me to have a pet of my own right now, I take great pride in being able to care for the pets of others. Growing up, my days were spent playing with and caring for animals. We had goats, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, and a wiener dog who I trained to do dog agility. Nowadays, I'm the go to dog and cat sitter for family and friends when they need someone to watch their pets. I have experience caring for puppies and kittens as well as senior pets and feel comfortable administering medications if needed.

Nikki went above and beyond for our dog and two birds when house sitting for us! We received regular pictures and updates and they were well cared for.

Nikki was amazing! She was able to accommodate a last minute house sitting request and was very thoughtful, dependable and the dogs loved her. She sent constant updates and did more walks than we asked for. Highly recommended!

Nikki was fantastic! Took the extra effort to make our furry babies feel loved. Her attention to detail is phenomenal. It’s scary to leave your furry babies with someone that you don’t know. She put our minds at ease and we had no doubt that they were well taken care of. She also made the extra effort to put our garbage and recycle bins out that was not required. 😊 She just did it. We will definitely utilize her in the future. 💕
