Nikki has watched my dog, Laika, twice now and both times have been great! I had previously boarded Laika any time I went out of town at a local kennel. While the staff seemed friendly and liked the dog, Laika seemed to dislike the place and I hated the price (it always seemed like I was paying $50-$60 more than I expected). I was also unsure of the care and attention she was really getting, and I just didn't know if I was getting my money's worth. Now I have Nikki come by my apartment or even stay overnight with Laika when I'm out of town. She sends pictures to let me know what they are up to every day. Laika definitely enjoys staying home instead of going to the kennel, Nikki takes excellent care of her, and I enjoy the individual attention that I know Laika is receiving and the much better cost!
