Can't Wait to Meet Your Pup!

Pet care experience

I'd love to meet and love on your pet while you're away for the day or even for a week! I absolutely love pets have grown up with them my entire life, from birds to huge dogs, and truly view them as family members. My home is happy, loved and lived in, we are a smoke free home! I'd love to meet with you to see if we're a good fit! I pride myself on taking the time to make special treats for pups and to make sure that their every play desire is fulfilled. I also have extensive knowledge with special needs dogs, as my last dog growing up had both cushing's and epilepsy. I love all animals as if they were my own and would love to add your pet to my life.

Let me first say how impressed I was with Nikki at our meet and greet. She was on the floor playing tug of war with my pup in no time and he was completely comfortable with her! I could tell she really loved animals and my dog would be well cared for when she was with him. The trouble came on the first day when I checked in about 8pm and she told me she had already been to my house after work and would be returning shortly after dinner. My alarm system tracks the comings and goings, and actually she had not been there at all and it was after 8:30pm by the time he was let out for the first time that day... I wasn't pleased, but she quickly got home to him, so I was willing to look past this. That night, Nikki was supposed to spend the night at my house with my dog, but I noticed she left at 11:30pm and had not returned that night. When I messaged her at 8:30am, she explained that it was an accident, but she had gone home to check on her dogs and fell asleep on the sofa. I do believe it was an accident, and she quickly returned to my home and dog (and offered full refund). She spent much of the day at my home and I'm sure my dog received lots of love and attention... but I was hours away and worried that had I not been able to track the comings and goings what I would (or would not) know about. She spent the next night at my house and left for work early the next day. She offered to come back after work, but I told her that wasn't necessary. When I returned, the house was very clean and my dog was happy and healthy :) So, in short, there was quite a rocky start, but she did her best to remedy the situation. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was loved during the time she spent with him.

Information Nikki K. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know of any diet restrictions or special needs, as well as if they enjoy other dogs.

A typical day

The pups will enjoy, myself, my husband and our 2 pups. We go to the dog park regularly and take walks/runs daily. We offer a huge backyard, with a kiddie pool so the dogs can cool off when we are playing. The only time your pup wont be right next to us, is if we are running to the store or out at a nice dinner, otherwise we keep the pups near by for lots of love and attention. I am a restaurant manager so my hours are random but my husband works normal hours so the pups will have someone with them 90% of the time to ensure proper spoiling.
