If they are allergic to any treats or if they can have treats. How are they when walking if they are ok with other dogs, kids, bikes, ect...

A typical day

My dogs love to play frisbee and chuck it. If your guys are frisbee or ball loving dogs I would play fetch with them. Also walks around the neighborhood to just get the out and smell new things.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Nikki, and animals have been a huge part of my life since I was about 8 years old. Over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for many different types of animals including dogs, cats, horses, and goats. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare and at a humane society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. This experience has helped me become very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I currently have five dogs of my own, and we actively compete in flyball and disc competitions. We travel to different states to compete, which has given me a lot of experience working with high-energy dogs, maintaining training routines, and understanding the importance of exercise, structure, and positive interaction. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just needs some company while you’re away, I will treat them like one of my own. Their safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m available on weekends and weekdays after 3 PM, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets!

Nikki is a hard worker with a knack for reading canine body language and emotions. Nikki's calm presence keeps even the most anxious dogs at ease. She has been around dogs for 20+ years and has the added bonus of training her own personal dogs in multiple types of dog sports such as frisbee, flyball and obedience. But dogs aren't her only specialty! No, Nikki is unique in that she's had experience with the whole gambit of pets you may have in your household all the way down from a rat or mouse to something as large as a horse in your backyard. Nikki will always go above and beyond to make sure an animal is always taken care of in the best way possible - whether they be her own or a client's. I highly recommend Nikki for any of your pet sitting needs!

Nikki is one of a few select people I trust to do anything with my dogs. She is honest and reliable, and also really loves animals of all kinds and knows how to take care of them. I’d recommend her for any of your pet care needs.

Nikki is very responsible, honest and loves animals! I have played dog sports with Nikki and watched her as she raised, trained, spoiled and cared for her dogs and the dogs of her teammates. With Nikki caring for your pet you will never have to wonder if they are getting the best care!
