Comedy writer -- with a funny bone!

Pet care experience

I have had dogs my entire life. [Insert something here about how superior dogs are to cats.] Currently, I have a spacious apartment, where I've hosted my parents' dog while they're travelling. Between my partner and I -- also a dog-lover! -- we've been able to coordinate a round-the-clock food/walk/play schedule. We have a fun, but calm energy that creates a home-away-from-home energy. I'm also on an incredibly flexible schedule when it comes to taking walks or popping in for visits. I've been working from home since before it was cool/mandatory.

I've known Nikki for a long time and she has always loved animals. It comes natural to her when it comes to interacting and taking care of pets, she's owned several throughout her life. She's extremely responsible and I would trust her to take care of my own dachshund if I went away.

Nikki is a responsible and caring individual. She has taken spectacular care of both cats and dogs. She enjoys being outside and petting dogs along the way. She would be a great sitter for your dog!

Nikki is an unbelievable dog lover and caregiver. She is kind, considerate, and responsible. I would trust Nikki with my own pet any day. Nikki is exactly the type of person you want to leave your dog with as she is extremely dedicated.

I was raised anxious (since reformed) so I'm a huge freak for taking precautions and making sure dogs (and I) feel safe. We're a leash household.

Information Nikki P. would like to know about your pet

Give me all the basics — what they eat, when they eat, where they eat, their general habits, etc. You wouldn't want to be left with a stranger who doesn't know which way you like to walk.

A typical day

I must've been a dog in a past life because I love long walks, exploring new parks and trails, and am very sensitive to new smells. So we'll be doing all of the above.

I'm a writer and comedian so most of my day/work lives on my phone and is almost never urgent. Taking care of dogs is my daily reminder to be a human and go outside. I drink water when they do.
