Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, as I prioritize the well-being of the dogs I care for. I have a flexible schedule working-from-home, that allows me to dedicate time each day for walks, playtime, and grooming. My mornings often begin with outdoor exercise, ensuring that the dogs get the morning pottey they need, and the fresh air and stimulation they love to start of the day. Later on in the afternoon I will go for a walk with the dogs, so they not only get the stimulation in the back yard, but also out door environment. Throughout the day, I provide attention, companionship, and updates to pet owners, fostering a safe and loving environment. With a spacious, enclosed yard at my home, I can offer ample playtime for the pups, making pet care not just a job, but a rewarding and cherished aspect of my life.

We are boarding your dog on a single home property with easy access to a safe fenced backyard on a 0.3 arche land. It is a huge space for the dogs to enjoy their own personal space and also chase around with each others. I usually allow my toy poodle, Nomi, to sleep in the same room with us at night, and I can extend this comfort to your pup as well, ensuring they feel secure and at home. If your furry friend needs a bath, I’m well-equipped to handle it!

Information Nikki L. would like to know about your pet

Feel free to DM me if your dog has special needs or behavior that I should look out for, I will make sure of it! Happy to meet and greet before any schedule if that helps as well! Don't hesitate to reach out to me, I'm generally a quick responder!

A typical day

I usually allow the dogs to be in-and-out of the hosue freely when weather permitts. Also take few walks around the neighborhood as needed. Colonial dog park is also considered near by, so on weekends and free time, I take them to socialize with other dog, as needed. I am happy to meet in dog parks, our background, or near by area to ensure the dogs are familiarized with each other prior to the actual boarding. Happy to meet, feel free to message me anytime.

Pet care experience

My name is Nikki, and I am a passionate dog caregiver with over 4 years of experience in dog sitting and grooming. I believe that dogs are our best friends, and my love for them began with my toy poodle, Nomi. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend quality time with your pup in my spacious house with an enclosed yard, where they can roam freely and safely. I'm also specialized in grooming dogs under 25 pounds, particularly in the popular Japanese/Korean teddy bear cut, giving them that round, puffy look. So if you wish to pick up your dog with super clean and fluffy look, feel free to let me know. I provide regular updates and personalized care tailored to your pet's needs, ensuring they feel loved and comfortable. Many clients return to me for repeat services due to the positive experiences we share. Let’s connect and make sure your furry friend has a fantastic time while you’re away!

Nikki's calming personality, receptiveness and her beautiful dog was a good balance for Drake who's outgoing. Drake enjoys playing with his ball outdoors. Drake appeared happy and engaging upon our arrival to pick him up. Thank you for a good 1st time dog sitter experience.

Nikki is great with pets. She understands them and knows how to take care of them. She also has a great place with a big fenced backyard that allows your pet to be running freely in a safe environment. A big plus for me. And her pet Nomi - very cute, full of love and energy..:: like a fur ball. Gives a great company to your pet. Thanks Nikki for being a great host for Sparkle. Sparkle will be coming back soon to you 😊
