Availability
I currently work weekdays from 9 AM–4 PM, but I keep my calendar updated regularly and occasionally have weekday availability as well. On weekends, I usually stay local in Vienna and love staying active, so I’m always happy to make time for dog walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pup whenever I’m not traveling!

About Nikki H.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I offer drop-in visits and walks in clients’ homes and always strive to provide dependable, loving care for every dog I meet. I carefully follow all provided instructions, send timely updates and photos, and make sure to leave each home just as tidy as I found it. Most importantly, I take the time to build a genuine bond with each pup so they feel safe, cared for, and loved while their owners are away!

Information Nikki H. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know about your pet’s favorite toys and activities, their usual walking routine and preferred walk length, favorite treats (and how often they can have them), as well as feeding instructions and food portions. The more I know about their routine and personality, the better I can make them feel comfortable and at home!
A typical day
A typical day with me includes plenty of tail wags, playtime, fresh air, and one-on-one attention! Whether we’re going on walks, playing with favorite toys, relaxing with cuddles, or having a mini pet photoshoot for cute update pictures, I’ll make sure your pup feels happy, entertained, and loved the entire time.

Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Nikki 🐾 I have experience dog, cat, and bird sitting from when I was living in Florida during graduate school, and I grew up surrounded by animals like a playful Schnoodle and a sweet Siberian cat—so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I’m so excited to meet more furry friends here in Vienna! I truly love spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, playing, giving belly rubs, or just being a calm and comforting presence. Tell me your pet’s favorite toys, games, and daily routines so we can have the best time together 🐶🐱 My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, happy, and genuinely loved while you’re away. Every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know each one—whether they’re energetic adventurers, cuddle bugs, or laid-back companions. I’d love to build a real bond with your dogs or cats—feel free to reach out anytime!
Reviews
Nikki is one of the sweetest, most caring people that I know. She is exceptionally punctual and does everything she can to make sure things are perfect. She is very responsive and engaging to make sure the details and timing is established in advance to avoid any confusion. Nikki grew up with her schnoodle Freddy and spends all her free time hanging out with him when she is home and she is incredible loving all of the time. In addition to Freddy, she's cared for several of our friends dogs when they are away or busy and does an outstanding job. Whenever I go somewhere with Nikki she will stop whatever we are doing to pet any dog walking near us. Pets, especially dogs, are Nikki's favorite thing and she loves them with all of her heart. I have yet to find anything that makes Nikki smile as much as petting, walking, or playing with a dog. If you let Nikki watch your dog you will be astonished at the effort and care she puts forth. She will play with and walk your dog as often as she possibly can to make sure they have as fantastic of a time as she does. I have no doubt she will prioritize your dog the entire time they are together.
