Availability
Pet care is a consistent part of my weekly routine. I’m home most of the day and plan my schedule around feeding, potty breaks, walks, and supervised outdoor time. I’m able to accommodate most drop-off/pick-up times with a little notice, and I keep dogs on a structured daily routine.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced front and back yard for safe outdoor time, and dogs are always supervised and brought inside as needed (weather, energy level, or comfort). My home is structured and calm. I can offer private time and separation at any point, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routines and boundaries. Dogs can sleep crated, in a safe room, or in another arrangement you prefer. I also have two stable, friendly medium-sized dogs. If your dog enjoys social time, we can do carefully managed introductions and supervised play. If your dog prefers space—or does best as a solo guest—I can absolutely accommodate that too. I’m attentive to body language, stress signals, and anxiety, and I aim to make your dog’s stay peaceful and predictable.
Home
Information Nikki T. would like to know about your pet
I want your dog to feel at home here, so please tell me what your dog needs to be comfortable: their normal schedule, food/allergies, potty routine, how they do on leash, and whether they enjoy other dogs or prefer their own space. Also let me know about any anxiety triggers, medical needs, and how they sleep best (crate/safe room/bed).
A typical day
I keep days structured, calm, and enriching—similar to what most dogs thrive on at home. Morning: potty break + outdoor time in the yard, breakfast (if applicable), and a relaxed start to the day. Late morning: a leash walk around the neighborhood for exercise and sniffing. Midday: indoor downtime—cool, quiet rest, chew time, and supervised relaxation. Afternoon: another yard break/play session, plus light positive-reinforcement enrichment (simple training, puzzle time, or nose-work style games). Evening: longer walk or a park outing when appropriate, then dinner and a calm wind-down. Night: quiet time, final potty break, and bedtime based on your preference (crate/safe room). I tailor activity to your dog’s age, energy level, and routine—whether they’re a high-energy youngster or a couch-loving senior.

Reliable, structured dog care
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Nikki. I’ve lived with dogs of all sizes my whole life and have been providing pet care for several years. I’m a true dog enthusiast who also studies canine behavior and training—so I don’t just “watch” dogs, I focus on keeping them safe, relaxed, and set up for success while they’re with me. I’m experienced with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I’m comfortable supporting basic manners and routine-based training during a stay (sit, down, leash manners, calm greetings, etc.). I’m also very familiar with crate training and can help keep your dog’s home routine consistent—whether they’re crated at night, have structured rest breaks, or need extra support settling in a new environment. My goal is simple: your dog feels secure, enriched, and cared for—and you feel confident they’re in good hands.
Reviews
3rd time boarding my 2 Boxers with Nikki. They are very comfortable with Nikki and enjoy their playtimes. Follows up every day with pictures and video. Come home very tired. This trip he took extra care with Benji who had an eye irritation that started the day before boarding. Nikki is very responsive and reliable. Appreciate everything.
Nikki is awesome. Nothing but positive vibes.
Good communication during stay. Sends pictures during their walks. My dog seems less anxious about being left for daycare.
Nikki was awesome with our golden doodle. Before I was even in the car to leave him, my high anxiety dog was jumping and playing with him in the front yard on his first meeting. Checked in with me during the day and set photos. Highly recommend.
