Pet care experience

Hi there! Just some background about myself- I moved to Seattle two years ago from TN. I have a strong passion for animals; my dream is to start my own rescue one day. I have worked in the animal rescue field for years, considering myself extremely experienced. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and backgrounds; I know how to properly handle any behavior or medical issues a dog(or cat) might have. I have a 4yo black mouth cur named Akamaru, Lou my tripod 2yo pup, & Neji, our tabby cat. Both dogs are very friendly & love making new friends! If you'd like references or have any questions, feel free to ask. Thank you for your consideration!

Nikki was great! She communicated well with me and my dogs really liked her! I would recommend her to anyone needing at home dog sitting.

My puppy came home very happy after her walk with Nikki. Nikki is very patient and flexible while being good with animals. Already booked her again!

Nikki did a great job with our senior dog Abby! Nikki came over for a few hours to sit with her. She sent photos and kept us up to date! I will definitely use Nikki again, she was very sweet with our older pup that suffers with dementia. I really appreciate her kindness and care!

Nikki was able to come check on my dog very last minute. She was very kind, even brought my doggo a fun new toy. I appreciated her very much, will definitely be using her again.

Information Nikki R. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences, I love any and all dogs! I'd like to know anything important about the dog before sitting them so I can ensure they're being well taken care of. I've never met a dog I did not like and will not deny services based on breed or special needs.

A typical day

If the dog is staying at my place, there are a lot of great places to walk nearby. I can also provide enrichment activities such as licki mats, kongs, or snuffle mats. I love to play with dogs all day!

Having three animals of my own, pet care is a major factor throughout my day. I feed the boys and take them out as soon as I wake up. We usually go on breaks every 3 hours after that. Training, playing together with toys, & snuggles are how we spend most of our downtime together. Pet care all day every day!
