Pet care experience

Local, experienced, patient

Hello, I am thirty-four and I have had dogs and cats in my household and under my training throughout my life. I have been taking care of, leash training and social training friends and families pets for my adult life and, I have been on Rover since 2019 while I was living abroad in Spain. I have a passion for treating animals with respect, love and providing the exercise and stimulation necessary for them to live healthy, relaxed and well behaved lives in our homes. I have experience in leash training, off leash recall and obedience training, socialization, street safety and more. If you have special requests, please ask! Titus and I are very active, we run in Upper Park a few times a week so, if this is something your dog is trusted to do, let me know! I provide leashed walks and runs as well; those walks always come with basic training (loose leash walking, street safety, etc.) I would love to have the opportunity to give you peace of mind, knowing that your loved dog or cat gets the exercise attention needed during times that you can't offer it.

Nikki did a great job. She took Lily for a walk and gave her love while I was away. I was very comfortable leaving Lily knowing Nikki was coming.

Nikki was great! Charlie loved her, and he soon had a new best buddy, Titus. No issues whatsoever. From the moment we met Nikki, we were confident Charlie would be safe, secure, and loved.

We left our dog, Charlie, with Nikki for about four hours -- she was very friendly, professional and welcoming.It was a great first experience with Nikki and we would definitely use her again. Her dog, Titus, was also funny and sweet. Nikki sent us a picture of Charlie during the visit and he looked very happy.

Nikki was great! I had a family emergency and had to pick Ellie up early but she was so understanding and willing to work with me. Ellie had the best time and made a great new friend, Titus! I’m definitely going to have her babysit Ellie when I’m in town! ☺️

Nikki did such an amazing job with my Benny boy! She took him out on walks and gave him so much love, I knew I had nothing to worry about at all while I was at work.

Nikki is wonderful! She watched both of my dogs, one being very young, big and full of energy, the other old, and Hugh anxiety. Her dog is very friendly and my boy made fast friends with him! Highly recommend nikki!
