Experienced Dog-Lover. HOME F/T!

Pet care experience

Hello, I'm Nikki! I offer personal individual attention, exercise and mental stimulation for the animals in my care. I used to work with 20-50 dogs per day in a kennel. However, in such settings, caregivers have little time to spend with and pay attention to each animal and only meets the minimal needs. While in my care, I treat the dog as though it is my best friend. I feel honored to share my days with a dog that depends on me to feed, exercise and administer medication if needed as well as keeping him comfortable and content. For me this would be a labor of love that I can dedicate myself to 100% 24/7 365 days a year! Activities I love to share with dogs are trips to the dog parks and beaches, multi-mile hikes, cuddling, kisses, fetch, basic training reinforcement, and well basically any activity is just better with a dog by your side, especially a car ride! I cannot wait to spoil and pamper your dog. Home full time, I will be able to provide your dog with the care and attention he deserves while staying with me. Take a look at my photos to check out my home and fully fenced-in yard to see where your dog would be spending his doggy vacation. I also have a pool, if your dog likes to swim! Having undergone RoverGO advanced screening, I have been met face-to-face and my home has been inspected. I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s) and hope you'll choose me! Why I love dog sitting I have worked with dogs for seven years and have always been very mindful and conscientious when caring for dogs. My experience administering medication Yes, I am comfortable administering moral and topical medications. For injections there will be an extra charge of $5.

Second time Mazy went to Nikki’s. She always comes home happy and tired. Love all the pictures we receive while she is there

Nikki was wonderful. Sent us pictures to show what Mazy was up to. She looked like she had a great time. She was tired out once we got home.

I recently left my puppy with Nikki for daycare for the first time. I was a little concerned because he can be a bit skittish and he was definitely nervous during our meet and greet. I’m so happy to say he relaxed had an amazing time during his stay. Nikki kept me updated and informed, making me feel very comfortable. She sent lots of pictures even during his short stay, and I could see he quickly eased into things and was all smiles in no time. We’re looking forward to future visits. Thanks Nikki!
