Nikki took such great care of our dog, Tucker! She was easy to communicate with, flexible on pickup and drop off and Tucker came home so happy! Would definitely recommend and we can’t wait to book again!

Nikki was amazing! She was super flexible and was even able to drop off my dog at our house the day we returned from our trip. She gave me constant updates and sent photos of Asher playing with the other pups! He was very well taken care of and we will definitely use her again!

Nikki did a great job with my dog, Molly. She sent photos and updates daily, so I was able to see that Molly was well cared for and having a lot of fun. She bathed and brushed her before I picked her up which was also very helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave her in Nikki’s care again.

Nikki was absolutely the best possible choice. She was attentive to my pets, sent pictures during every visit, and I came home to find my pets well-cared for, fed, watered, and happy. I recommend Nikki without reservations. She is a trusted pet-sitter, and I will absolutely be using her again for my future trips.

Pets

A typical day

Because I work from home full-time, your pet is rarely left alone. My schedule revolves around the animals in my care. I live in a house with a large yard for supervised play and provide a welcoming, non-smoking home environment. I have one friendly dog and one very sweet cat who are well-socialized and accustomed to new guests. Between myself and my responsible 14-year-old son, each pet receives genuine affection, consistent supervision, and thoughtful care. Whether your dog loves structured play or prefers to nap beside someone on the couch, I tailor their stay to make them feel secure and loved. While in my care, your fur baby will receive: • All-day supervised interaction and play • 3 walks per day (or more if needed) • Plenty of snuggles and downtime • Individual attention based on personality and energy level
