Your Best Friend’s New Best Friend!

Hi! I’m Nikki 😊 I’m 28 and a huge animal lover. I have my Veterinary Assistant diploma and worked in a vet clinic for about 9 months, plus 3.5 years as a groomer’s assistant before COVID. If your pet is comfortable, I can also offer nail trims for an additional $10. I’m very active and love going for walks and hikes, so energetic pups are always welcome! I have Type 1 diabetes, which keeps me motivated to stay healthy and on the move. I have my own truck and a full license, so getting out for adventures or reliable drop-ins is never an issue. At home, we have two sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Stevie (2) and Margot (6), so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Animals bring so much joy to my life, and I care for them like they’re my own 💛

Nikki was amazing with our 6 month old pup. Tons of hikes and swims, and pictures while we were away. Would absolutely use Nikki again!

Nikki is an exceptional dog sitter! We were getting married and wanted our sweet little Pearl to be able to come to the ceremony but be well taken care of during the reception. Nikki came to pick her up from our ceremony site 20 minutes outside of town, and came to our house to feed her, walk her and keep her company. She sent us updates of her per our request and we did not worry for a SECOND while we were celebrating our special day. Nikki came to meet Pearl before our booking and was punctual, professional, and kind. She is absolutely lovely! She even squeezed Pearl in to get groomed and gave her the most adorable bow with a Pearl on it. I would highly recommend Nikki! I know we will be requesting her services again in the future! Thank you, Nikki!

She was very quick at responding and very accommodating for last minute plans. Our puppy got to play for two hours with her dogs so she was very happy and tired when we picked her up.

Nikki often looks after my dogs and she's very trustworthy. I always feel relieved when she's available on short notice to take care of them. I know my pooches are well looked after with Nikki ?. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a petsitter or dog walker.

I’ll have lots of time for walks before and after work and I’m not gone long during the day while we are at work, so your pet won’t be alone often!

Safety, trust & environment

I would love and snuggle them. I would feed them at their proper times. I would make sure they had time to play at the park or go for a walk! I would never leave them alone for more than 2 hours, if Possible! I will watch them like they are my own pet :)
