During the work week, Bear and I go on walks in the morning and enjoy some much-loved playtime at the dog park located in our neighborhood. I work from the office Monday-Thursday and take an extended lunch break to allow time for a mid-day walk as well. In the evenings we typically do a longer walk around Lake Johnson, or head over to the big dog park at Lake Benson. We love being active outdoors! I tend to be a homebody on the weekends and the dogs in my care are rarely left alone, allowing for plenty of potty breaks and lots of extra love and attention!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large, open concept apartment, allowing the dogs full access to me at all times. There’s also a fenced in dog park located directly in our neighborhood... And a dog spa! When I do have to step out for a quick errand, I always ensure the pups are left alone in a safe environment, according to the needs of each dog (size, temperament, potty needs, etc.). My home is monitored by video cameras throughout the day to ensure the safety of the dogs in my care while I’m away at work.

Information Nikki L. would like to know about your pet

MEAL TIME! - Please be sure to pack enough food for your dog(s) ENTIRE stay, plus an additional serving for late night pickup’s and last minute scheduling changes. *An additional charge of $5 | meal will be added should your dog run out of food during their stay. - Please label yours dog’s food with their name, and amount of food to be given at each meal time. - Please let me know ahead of time if your pup is an aggressive eater or counter surfer so I can be sure to plan accordingly :)

A typical day

In our house pup-cups, treats, and belly rubs are a must! We have plenty of extra toys, balls, treats, and feeding bowls to share, so feel free to pack as lite (or heavily) as you’d like. Occasionally we have fur-friends visit that decide they’re not hungry due to all the excitement and new surroundings. Luckily, Bear has plenty of his mama’s homemade dog food to share to make meal time more exciting. *See Below: MEAL TIME!

Pet care experience

Hey there! I’m Nikki, and the adorable doodle you see in the photos is, Bear… He is one loved pup and he certainly knows it (spoiled too)! Animals have always been one of my greatest passions. Growing up on a farm I was surrounded by many of all kinds. I’ve always been trusted with caring for family & friends pets, and Rover has been a great way to introduce Bear to some fur-friends of his own! I have experience working with puppies & those with a tad more energy than most, as well as caring for elderly pups who may require additional attention, including administering medication, vitamins, etc.

Nikki was great! She was communicative and let us know how Lola was doing while we were away. She has a great setup with a great sized fenced-in backyard and plenty of toys for the pups.
