Passionate & Flexible Animal Lover

Pet care experience

You and your dog don't have to worry while you're away! I am a passionate, experienced dog care provider and as a traveling sitter, I can look after your dog from the comfort of their own home. I've been lucky enough to have dogs and other animal family members for my whole life. I currently live in a place where I am not able to have pets of my own, but I get so much enjoyment from being able to take care of other people's family members that being a pet sitter is ideal. I have tons of experience working with dogs and feel comfortable around all breeds and temperaments. I also am an experienced home and pet sitter and know how to keep a home as clean as it was before I got there. I am happy to work with you to learn all about your loved one, their routine, behavior, and any instructions to ensure they get the best possible care while you are away. I also have a lot of history working with senior dogs and can be very attentive to their needs. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone so I would love to send lots of updates and photos so you know they are having a blast. I am a great sitter because I have a wealth of experience and I understand the dog's needs. I know how hard it is for them to be away from their owners and promise to treat them like my own. Thank you for your consideration and I am so excited to meet you and your dog, and can't wait to become their new best friend.

My 2 dogs love Nikki! I am so thankful she was able to watch my dogs for me. I received photos every day and am very happy with her and how she cared for my dogs. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!

Do NOT hire Nikki if you want a reliable sitter. She agreed to stay at our house and watch our dogs for two nights, and she did not actually stay with them overnight as promised. She made it seem as though she stayed and never told us otherwise until I confronted her. It wasn't until we did some investigating that we found out that she had "something come up" and didn't end up staying with them, but rather just dropped by a few times to feed them and let them out. This resulted in us coming home to dog pee and an empty water bowl in addition to anxious, neglected animals. She does not follow instructions and does not communicate issues with owners. While I'm still awaiting the promised refund, a refund does nothing to quell my anger and our poor dogs' anxiety.

Information Nikki S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about your dog's temperament/personality, any routines or feeding schedules, and if they have any special needs. I am happy to follow any and all instructions. I have cared for many different types of pets, so any breeds and sizes are fine with me. I want to make sure to offer the best care so the more detail the better!

A typical day

What wouldn't we do! I love making dogs happy, so if they like playing and running around, or cuddling on the couch, I'm glad to do those activities they love most. We'll stick to their regular routine, so they feel comfortable and they'll get lots of pats and attention from me.
