Information Nikki H. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences. I would like to know what important words to know, how to put on the harness, and what normal sleeping arrangements are.

A typical day

Seattle is so full of parks and I love exploring ones I haven't yet been to with your pup. I’ve also never turned down a nap with a furry friend.

Pet care experience

Hello! I have been dog and cat sitting for at least 20 years and have several active clients in Seattle currently. I have previously worked for a dog walking and sitting business in Maryland. I have cared for puppies from 6 months through to senior, special needs pups. While no one enjoys it, I am comfortable giving pills, injections, and other medications to both cats and dogs. In my dog walking business I have walked up to four pups at the same time. I love to go on long walks, even in the rain and wind, and can throw a ball for hours! I will take care of your home and your pup with the utmost respect and love. I am a home owner with two kitties and a toddler. We are working on getting them all comfortable with dogs but for the time being we can only subject them to guests for 4 days in a row max (or they may never forgive us). While I haven't found the perfect pup for my life yet, I am very excited to be able to share my house with dogs of all ages for short stints while I'm searching.

Nikki did a fantastic job with Chimi! We had some last minute changes with him getting an infection, and she was so easy to communicate with, gave him his meds, and sent the best updates all weekend. I could tell he felt right at home!
