EXPERIENCED AND RELIABLE CARE GIVER

Pet care experience

I have over 25 years volunteer experience including fostering dogs, complete care for the dogs at the shelter, and helping with the adoption process at a shelter. My husband and I have fostered and adopted numerous dogs. I am passionate about all dogs no matter the breed or behavior issues. I enjoy helping find shelter dogs their perfect fit forever family. I also, spend time at the shelter walking, feeding and caring for the dogs including giving meds, working with them on behavioral issues and providing loving care. I have had dogs in my family for over 35 years. I know and understand how to train, care for and handle dogs. I know how to positively reinforce good behavior and re-direct poor behavior. I love spending time with my two dogs who are both rescue dogs. I treat everyone's dogs with compassion, love and respect. I will listen to any special instructions pertaining to your dog and comply with any instructions you have regarding your pet. I will communicate clearly about any issues that may arise and will keep in contact with you as much or as little as you request when caring for your dog. If you are looking for someone to snuggle, cuddle and spoil your dog, Dogs are not are my complete life, but they certainly make my life complete. I absolutely can't imagine life without my dogs.

We couldn't have picked a better sitter. Nikki provided daily updates and pictures which gave us great relief, especially being our first time away from our puppy. Thank you so much Nikki.

I cannot say enough about Nikki taking care of our 14 year old Boston Terrier. As a senior Ethel is on numerous medications, has some hearing loss as well as cataracts. When we first met Nikki we knew that she was a keeper. Se arrived early and spoiled Ethel so much. We received updates on her along with photos. Her caring nature and her ability to connect with Ethrl made us feel so comfortable. We will continue to use Nikki as long as we have pets.

Peace of mind! That’s what Nikki gave us on our Christmas vacation! She cared for our two puppers like they were hers! She sent us so many happy pictures of them! Nikki was able to help us out for a few extra days when our trip

Safety, trust & environment

In your home, I treat your house and pets like my own. I am loving, caring, trustworthy and a bit of a neat freak. So your home will look the same as when you left. I customize your pets care to your needs, just let me know anything special they need and I'll accommodate them.

Information Nikki L. would like to know about your pet

Any information about your dog is extremely helpful in making my sitting the perfect experience. Information such as their favorite toy, behavioral issues, areas they do or do not like to be pet, any clothing or appearance they may not like such as hats or any other quirks that you can share is very helpful in bonding with your dog. I do not have any breed restrictions since I have experience with many breeds from pit bulls, to poodles, to yorkies or dalmations, I have them all covered.

A typical day

I enjoy walking dogs in nature or quieter areas not heavy with traffic. I will walk your dog anywhere from a block to 3 miles, whatever your preference. I am experienced doing activities with dogs that keeps their mind active and helps them learn. I enjoy playing fetch with dogs, working on commands if you chose such as sit, stay, etc. or playing with their favorite toy.
