I'll walk, play, and love your dog!

Pet care experience

I am a surgical resident on my research so have a decent amount of time to walk dogs! I have been around animals my entire life, and have had 3 dogs and 2 cats growing up. My favorite activity with my dogs was taking them on long walks and hikes in the woods. I have experience with high energy dogs, as my dog back home is a rottweiler/lab mix that loves to go for runs with me. From how much I love my dog, I know that I would want someone who respects my dog and treats them as their own, and I can promise you that I will give you and your dog the utmost respect. I will also respect and adhere to your rules in your home and on our walk (runs or not, how many bathroom breaks, and furniture or not). I'm free primarily after 5, as I’m often in the lab before then. I look forward to giving your pet excellent care!

Nikki was extremely easy to work with. She’s very flexible and willing to appease your schedule! Cooper (my labradoodle) was always very happy when I got home from work that he had some time with Nikki. She also will follow any and all directions you leave for her without trouble!

Nikki was so helpful watching our dog overnight, especially on such short short notice. She provided consistent updates throughout the stay and left our house in great shape upon our return. I highly recommend using Nikki to anyone in need of a dog sitter!

Nikki was wonderful! She came by a few days before I left to meet the dogs. She was very communicative and sent pictures. The dogs loved her and I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter.
