About Nikki H.

Safety, trust & environment
For in home visits!: I would love to follow what you think best suits the care they need! Tell me about your fur babies and how they live with you! For boarding clients!: I only take one client at a time for in home boarding. I can accommodate a maximum of 2 dogs per client/household. My home is strictly crate and rotate (with the exception of structured time on a place bed) unless you are boarding with me for more than 3-5 days. Your pups will not meet either of my dogs except for in passing on leash or in front of their kennels. I have a dog room for my dogs but I typically keep boarding dogs in a separate room for their rest time to ease the stress of being in a new environment on your pups!

Information Nikki H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know any basics about your pet, or if you have any behavior concerns! I am happy to work with pets of all sizes and am open to handling dogs with reactivity or other behavioral/temperament concerns. For boarding and daycare, please let me know how your pup feels about being in a kennel for short periods or overnight!
A typical day
I am very passionate about giving dogs outlets for their energy and breed specific needs. I love to play games with pups and use mental stimulation, not just physical activity, to make sure they are happy!

Pet care experience
High Drive & High Energy experience! I’ve been very interested in all kinds of animals for as long as I can remember! I was always the dog/cat savvy one in a family. I currently own a 5 year old German Shepherd (Geist), a 1 year old German Shepherd (Levi) as well as 2 cats (Haku & Tucker)! 5 years ago I got my very first dog as an adult on my own, Geist. Geist made me find my love for training and we have learned so much in our time together. We have trained and competed in numerous dog sports; scent work, dock diving, fastCAT. We have been working hard training for a sport called PSA (Protection Sports Association) which focuses on high levels of competitive obedience and bite work. This sport has opened a whole new world for me and has taught me so much about dog behavior, handling and training. This has made me very passionate about getting dogs out there and giving them proper outlets for their energy as well as a huge passion for training and general care. I also have experience with cats, reptiles & small animals, please message me for more info or help with care for those guys! Our pets are family and we are really lucky to have them in our lives. They deserve our respect and proper care in every aspect, so I’m here to help with that!
Reviews
We are so lucky that we found Nikki! She is amazing with our dogs and incredibly responsive. She truly treats our dogs like they’re her own.
Nikki is a rockstar will our high energy dogs! I couldn’t recommend her enough.
Makes even my shyest girl feels so safe and comfortable, makes sure my spiciest girl gets the meds she needs, so safe, kind, communicative and reliable!
Nikki continues to be one of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had! She does a great job with my two anxious, high energy dogs. 100% recommend!
