Your furry baby’s new best friend

I grew up with dogs ever since I was a little girl. I was in charge of walking, feeding, and bathing our family dog, Happy. I am passionate about animal welfare and continue to volunteer with rescues in my free time. I know how stressful it is to leave your furry friends behind, every time I leave my dog Mochi alone I am constantly worried about him. But sometimes things happen in life where you need to be away from your furry friends and you want to make sure you leave them in good hands. Well, don't worry, because Mochi and I will make sure your furry friend is well taken care of. I am WFH permanently and have a very flexible schedule which allows me to tend to your dog or cat any time of the day. I can take them out for potty breaks as often as you need me to. I live in Journal Square, right next to Canco park where your pup will have more than enough space to run around in. My building also has a fenced dog run for some off-leash action. I will update you as much as you want, feel free to call, text, or message me directly on rover throughout the day.

Nikki was amazing! Flexible in timing especially with my last minute booking. My cat is usually shy but warmed right up to her quickly. Fantastic communication, great energy, and goes above and beyond - my cat pees on the sofa when I’m not there and Nikki cleaned it up every day spotlessly. Highly recommend!!!

Nikki was a rockstar with our Yorkie, who is a complicated guy! She provided very frequent updates and took amazing care of our baby boy for our 17 day trip. Never booking any other sitter again!

seriously outstanding service from miss. Nikki ! when I came home my cat was so unbothered that I had been gone a whole week, only because Nikki was so great. I got respectful, great communication every day, I was so busy on my work trip she made it so much less stressful! would book her again.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work remote full time and have a very flexible schedule. I can step out at any time for dog walks and potty breaks. Mochi and I will make sure you pup gets the exercise they need!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very friendly dog who loves to play. If your dog is shy and likes to keep to themselves, I also have 2 crates available to give them their own space. I also have a doggy gate in the kitchen. This is a no-chocolate household and my apartment is always clean as I have a furry friend myself. There will be no swallowing of foreign objects and they will never eat anything they're not supposed to!

Pets

A typical day

I love to create stimulating environments for dogs. Not only will I take your dog out at least 4 times a day, but I also have tons of dog puzzles and snuffle mats to help stimulate their minds. Plus with my dog Mochi around they will also get lots of playtimes.

Please let me know if your dog has any food allergies, are taking any medication and their schedule. I can accommodate any special needs. There’s no need for your dog to stop receiving that special care just because they’re away from home.
