Pet care experience

I am a dog owner and animal lover that is looking forward to caring for your pet! I have two sons, ages three and one and an half, and two friendly labs named Chief and Dozer. We have a large fenced in backyard with lots of room to run and play. I will send picture updates regularly, as I know how much we miss our fur babies when we aren't with them. **BECAUSE I HAVE TWO YOUNG KIDS, BOARDING AND DAYCARE PUPS MUST BE KID-FRIENDLY** We are extremely cautious with how our son interacts with other dogs, but for everyone’s safety, we only accept dogs that are friendly with kids.

Nikki is our go-to host. Our dogs simply love spending time with her family and dogs. Nikki is super communicative and takes great pictures to show us how much our dogs enjoy their time.

My dog had a wonderful time with Nikki, her family, and their two black labs. Every day Nikki would send me multiple pictures of him having a wonderful time. He even seemed a little sad when I picked him up at the end of my trip. LOL.

Nikki and her whole family and fur babies are amazing! Our dog was well cared for and had a lot of fun.

Nikki did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. Would HIGHLY recommend her. It was our first time leaving our 7mo old puppy so we weren’t sure how he would do. Nikki and her dogs took great care of him and he had a blast. Kept us updated with frequent photos and videos as well.
