Fun loving care for furry friends💜

Pet care experience

Hi there, my name is Nikki. I adore dogs of all kinds and love to connect with them through walking and lots of nourishing pets. 💕 I enjoy taking my client pups around Regional Parks such as Tilden (if interested, I would love to take yours out!)I love to dogsit and make sure your pup is comfortable, nourished and loved while you are away. I have grown up around 2 golden retrievers, consistently walking and caring for them. In my previous living experience in Marin, I would dog walk/ sit very frequently and cared for 4 kitties at my home.

Nikki was great! She took great care of our two cats. She gave them lots of love, attention and playtime. Will definitely ask Nikki to watch them when we travel.

Thank you Nikki for giving our cat Keeper all the pets she needs, and being there for her safety at night!! Thank you too for your flexibility and caring for our home, and for taking on this assignment on such short notice! I would recommend you for any assignment.

Took care of both of our dogs while we were on vacation! She gave us peace of mind while we were away.

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure to lock all doors / gates before exiting a home if I am sitting ( same for if I am at the home ). If an alarm system is present, I will arm it and follow given directions around it. If you have any desires around where your furry friend should stay while I am out of the home, I am sure to throughly read instructions and follow through to ensure the safest pet sitting experience.

Information Nikki S. would like to know about your pet

If your pet requires any particular medical attention such as administration of medicine or prevention of jumping for their back health, etc, I would love to know ahead of time so I can be on top of their needs. I would love to know about any behaviors they display if they are out of the norm as well!

A typical day

I love to go to Tilden to walk my client pups if you are comfortable with that! Any beautiful nature spot, I am game. :) Playing fetch or tug a war is a great time too. Dog parks are a blast, if you feel comfortable allowing us to enter that space! Your dogs safety is my priority and I know some dogs respond well to some environments while others do not, so whatever flows with your pup, I am up for it!
