Pet care experience
🐾 First time clients use this code for savings on your first booking with me: NIKKIR87925 Hi there, nice to meet you, I'm Nikki! I have two dogs, a boxer mix named Zeke and a French Bulldog named Dwight. I grew up in a family that was allergic to anything with fur so I really got most of my animal experience by caring for loved ones pets. I have now been pet sitting for over 12 years and it's one of the biggest joys of my life. I live in Hilliard with my partner and the four of us are working on our goal of being able to travel all throughout the United States in an RV. Whether you are looking for someone to do day sittings while at work or for an in home sitter while on vacation, I have experience with many different breeds, sizes, ages and attitudes. I treat and view my dogs as my children, so I know how important and different they all are. I will treat yours with the same love and care.
Reviews
Nikki was a wonderful sitter for my two dogs. One of them is completely blind and tends to not eat regularly when we are away. She was great with him and he ate all of his meals while she was caring for them. I would highly recommend Nikki's services.
Nikki was wonderful with Ella. She was very easy to communicate with at our meet and greet and during her time with Ella. She provided daily updates, pictures and videos. Nikki left our home in great order. Highly recommend and will use her again.
Nikki is a fantastic dog sitter. She stayed overnight with our two dogs for three nights and sent us lots of pictures and videos of them having fun or relaxing. It’s getting harder for me to leave them, but Nikki’s communications showed me they were happy and well taken care of. When we got home, they were happy and themselves. They were not stressed out by our absence. We will hire Nikki again. Highly recommend!!
My sister and I both have enjoyed having Nikki take care of our pets. I actually wouldn't trust too many people. We've had bad experiences in the past with kenneling are two girls that are dogs. You can't beat the personal experience Nikki brings whether it's coming in to spend some time with them making sure they get some outdoor time during the day and treats, or walks for exercise. I would not want a kennel when I can have someone actually stay with the girls or frequently check on on them. She is worth it!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I understand how important our pets are, so their safety is my first concern. Please advise me of any triggers, fears, health issues and concerns you may have so I can properly know and care for them. I send multiple updates and pictures throughout my stay because can you really have too many pictures of your animals being cute?!
Information Nikki R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any specific triggers, medications, allergies or special needs so I can be fully informed in keeping your pet happy and healthy during your time away. I ask clients to leave me a note with details like eating schedule, location I can find everything they'll need, vet information, wifi password and just general instructions you'd like me to follow. During my stay, on top of keeping your pets needs filled and providing cuddles and snuggles, I'm happy to bring in any mail, packages, water plants, perform trash removal, cleaning litter boxes and be sure to disenfect areas as needed, leaving your home as you left it!
A typical day
Have an older dog? We can snuggle and just take it easy. Got a younger, high energy puppy? Walks and playtime to get that energy out! Have a cat? I love to mirror their personality as well to make them comfortable during your time away. Whether that be playtime or relaxation.

Availability
I have clients I walk throughout the week but am always happy to add more to the pack. Besides my weekly clients, I have a flexible schedule which allows me more time to spend in your home. My overnight rate includes me spending the majority of my day at your home and spending the night. Leaving occasionally throughout depending on my schedule to provide other drop in visits/walks and general life duties. I always ask how long your pets can be left alone but typically tend to not leave them for more than 4 hours at a time. If they can't be left alone for at least 4 hours, let me know! If you don't need someone there majority of the day, let me know and I can adjust the booking to reflect that.
