Outdoor loving Foster Dog Mom

Pet care experience

I have ALWAYS loved dogs & nothing makes me happier than to make them happy. Growing up, my family trained & bred Rottweilers & Springer Spaniels & and in my adult years I have become a regular foster carer for the Austin Humane Society to keep doing my part for our furry friends. I have two standard Poodles Princess & Diana who are UKC Champions, they are Very well trained and bred as therapy dogs. My work schedule is flexible so I will be able to give your dog the care it needs. I hate being away from my pups for too long and know what it's like to have those crazy days or weeks when you just can't fit everything in, or want to take a trip. I’d love to take your pup on adventures, give them love, attention and good comfy home when you need, if it works out for us both.

Nikki took amazing care of my pup! She really went above and beyond in terms of keeping me up to date with pictures and behavior reports. Nikki also has wealth of knowledge on dog training, socializing, and their psychology. She helped me identify some antisocial behaviors that our pup has developed over a long and isolated pandemic and hooked me up numerous resources in the community to help address them. Our dog enjoyed their time with Nikki and her puddle crew so much that she growled at me in displeasure when I tried to lead her away from her new friends! ?

Nikki was a truly awesome sitter. She took my two big active dogs to a nearby park and sent me multiple photos of them romping in the creek. They were EXHAUSTED that night and the entire next day. Would recommend highly!!!

I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who can keep your fur baby company. I can also crate your dog if needed. I do breakfast and dinner feeding for our dogs, but I can feed or administer medicine anytime you like. We do plenty of outside play in the yard with the ball, as well as treat training to keep my pups minds sharp. At night dogs sleep in our room in their beds on the floor.

A typical day

I live right by Pease Park and go for on leash hikes & swims there with my dog most days or walking in my Neighborhood before work. Pease Park has plenty of shade & water access for when its hot & is not near any major roads for the pups that are prone to try escape/adventure. We are also very close to Red Bud Isle & Auditorium shores and try mix it up a few times a week and walk there. I keep a watchful eye of my dogs & love to play however they like too.
