BarkBox employee with Backyard!

Pet care experience

Hey there, I'm Nikki! I love dogs so much, I've made a career of it! I work at BarkBox in NYC, and have one pup, Kassie, at home. I LOVE dogs, and work all day to ensure that they're healthy and happy. I'd love to bring that joy to your dogs, as well! :) I live in Jersey City, and enjoy volunteering at shelters and bringing my pups to the dog park on the weekends. We have a fenced-in backyard and plenty of space for playtime. I currently take care of dogs in Jersey City and Manhattan, whether it's at my home or at the pup's home. I enjoy taking care of dogs of all sizes and all ages. I can't wait to meet you and your dog!

Nikki is PHENOMENAL! I moved to the Jersey City area recently from Ohio, and I was worried about finding somebody to dog sit for a couple of trips that are each about a week long. But from the first time I communicated with Nikki I could sense her exceptional friendliness, professionalism and enthusiasm for caring for dogs (I have two dogs, a boxer and a black lab-boxer mix). I cannot overstate how excellent Nikki is at this, she met us in advance here at my house, my dogs were completely 100% comfortable with her immediately, she was open to following whatever routine was needed for the dogs, plus she sent me updates and pics of the dogs throughout the visit. And my dogs LOVE her. I think she treated my dogs better than I do!? Nikki is professional, reliable and an absolute natural at this. I already have a 2nd visit booked. I'd give extra stars if Rover.com allowed it!

Nikki stayed at my place with my 3.5 yo GSD. I knew she'd be FANTASTIC from the way my GSD Heather took to Nikki right from the start. Heather is not particularly people oriented, but she loved Nikki. Nikki sent pictures of Heather throughout the day and took her out for multiple walks through out her stay. Best part of it all, I think Nikki left my apartment nicer and cleaner after her stay...that's saying a lot considering how i'm neurotic about cleanliness.
