Pet care experience

I’ll love them, like you do!

I have had four dogs and two cats throughout my life. I have been a dog walker and dog boarder for neighbors and family friends many times. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and love helping others and their pets. You can be sure that if your pets are in my care they will be well-loved and taken care of as if they are my own!

House Sitting • Apr 11, 2026

I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Nikki was absolutely amazing from start to finish. From the moment she arrived, I felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable and safe in his own home. Throughout the day, Nikki kept me constantly updated with messages and the sweetest photos, which honestly meant so much to me. I could tell my dog was relaxed, happy, and getting lots of love and attention. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and made sure his routine stayed consistent, which I really appreciated. What stood out the most is how genuinely caring Nikki is — you can tell she truly loves animals. My dog absolutely adored her, and that says everything. When I got back home, he was calm, content, and clearly well cared for. I would 1000% trust Nikki again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, responsible, and loving. She is truly amazing, and I’m so grateful I found her!

Doggy Day Care • Feb 12, 2022

Nikki is such a sweet person and Utah had a great time. Her home is safe and quiet, but also has a nice fenced in yard for fun play-time and potty breaks. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my pup with Nikki again!

Nikki was flexible in letting me drop off my dog the evening before since I had an early morning flight and also with letting me pick her up late in the evening when I got back into town. She also kept me updated about Zoey during my trip, and was able to manage her while she had small stitches and needed to wear a cone. Would book again!

This is one of the easiest 5 star reviews I have ever left. Simply put, Nikki is the best. I traveled to Europe for the holidays and have a fairly difficult dog to watch (he is a very shy rescue); but Nikki did everything required AND MORE to make sure my pup was comfortable, safe and happy. She communicates the whole time and is not afraid to ask questions to ensure I was happy with her services. She will be my first choice for anything needed with my pet moving forward.

Safety, trust & environment

I previously lived in downtown tampa and now reside just outside of the city. My community has a dog park, along with many areas to walk and play with your pets. Just down the street is a dog beach and if comfortable, I would love to bring them there for some time in the sun!

A typical day

There are so many options for walks and fun activities in my area such as, Curtis Hixon Park, Julian B Lane Park, Herman Massey Park, Tampa Dog Run, Water Works Park and even the Picnic island Dog beach!! Your fur babies should definitely expect lots of cuddle time.

I would like to be aware if your dog doesn’t typically like other dogs or pets, has an medical issues, potty trained, and any other things that I should be aware of when your dog is in my care. I also don’t have any breed preferences, I love them all!
