Pet care experience
As a recent law school graduate, I'm eager to dedicate my free time to caring for dogs. With over a decade of experience as an owner of large breeds like my beloved Great Pyrenees and Saint Bernard, Fred and Emmett, I also possess expertise in caring for dogs with various illnesses and disabilities. My deep affection for dogs drives my desire to spend my spare time working closely with them.
Reviews
Nikki and her puppy Emmett were amazing with our Indiana. This was the first time we had to leave our puppy with anyone that wasn't family and were feeling a bit nervous. However, upon having our meet and greet prior to booking our stay, we knew Indiana would be in good hands. When we went to pick him up it was clear that he had had a wonderful stay with Nikki, Alexa, and Emmett; the only thing Indiana wanted to do at home was sleep so we know he definitely got plenty of play and love. Will definitely be booking with Nikki again. Thank you for taking care of Indiana so well!
Nikki watched our pup overnight and spend many hours with her at a nearby dog park. Maggie had a wonderful time and we would definitely use Nikki again.
Nikki was such a pleasure to work with. This was my first time leaving my dogs with a dog sitter as they have always been cared for by family. I was very nervous leaving my fur babies with a stranger but Nikki eased my fears immediately. I did a meet and greet and she explained how everything worked and my dogs met her adorable, laid back puppy Emmett. Nikki watched both my dogs for 6 days. She sent me text updates and pictures of them at the beach, dog park and cuddling. My dogs were anxious at the beginning but by the next day they began to relax and warm up. By the end of the time, they were like a family. My big Golden Retriever was very afraid of big dogs at the beginning but he and Emmett were pals by the end. Nikki was so great she even bathed both my dogs before I picked them up. She is very caring and a humongous dog lover. She treated my dogs as if they were her own and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing they were in great hands. I will certainly be using her again and again. My dogs loved her and I could tell by the updates and pictures that they were enjoying themselves. She is 5 stars all the way!!!!
Max came home happy! Received great reports from Nikki. Nikki definitely has a great love for dogs and would certainly consider having her care for Max again. As a dog lover myself, it is always difficult to leave Max behind, but when folks like Nikki are there thru Rover.com it gives me great peace of mind. Thanks.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My home features a fenced yard and sits off a main road, offering ample space for pets to roam safely. I prioritize constant supervision of pets while they're outdoors. Inside, there are numerous cozy rooms for relaxation. I ensure pets always have access to fresh water and regular bathroom breaks to keep them comfortable.
Home
Information Nikki P. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know: How does your dog do with other dogs? Are they potty trained? Are they food-aggressive? Are they good on a leash? Do they sleep through the night? I specialize in large and extra-large breeds, but I love all dogs! I am knowledgeable about what kind of exercise different dogs need and what breeds have different restrictions like breathing, etc. I take hydration very seriously, especially in the summer. THINGS TO PACK: Food Bed Treats they may like Medicine they may need
A typical day
If the dogs are allowed off-leash or to visit a park, I'd take them for a walk or hike along a nearby trail or to the beach. If staying on the property is preferred, I'd engage them in playtime and allow for bathroom breaks and sniffing sessions in the fenced yard.
