We’re friends fur-ever

I have such a passion for animals. Growing up I had pets ranging from birds to snakes to cats to fish. I love the joy you get from animals and their candid spirits. Now as a 24 year old, I hope to one day open a nonprofit to better the lives of homeless shelter animals everywhere. It’s hard to always give our pets a good life, and I am excited to help bring joy to their days. Your pets are in great paws! Here is some basic info about how I offer services for you: 🐶 I send daily pictures and videos to show your dog having the best time (for longer bookings it may be every other day or every 3 days depending on length of stay) 🐶 I do watch multiple dogs at once! I emphasize safety and only watch dogs who are friendly with others. We have a very playful environment here and want to make sure your doggy will fit right in. Please let me know before booking If you are looking for a single dog household so we are on the same page about what to expect when you board with me ☺️ 🐶 I respond very timely any time you message me about your pup during the stay! Never hesitate to reach out to me. I will update you so feel comfortable and will reach out immediately if there is ever an issue! 🐶 I do not allow people inside my home for safety reasons, and understand you are leaving your baby with me so this can be hard for some. I am more than happy to send videos / pictures of the space upon request if that is an issue, as well as lots of pictures while your pup is here! Please let me know if you have any concerns so we are on the same page at drop off 🤩 🐶 Bring Food & treats for your dog and whatever supplies you want them to have! I have lots of extra bowls, toys, and dog supplies so you don’t have to pack too much!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 22, 2025

She took care of my puppy while I was in a conference. She would send me pictures of my puppy and he seemed a to be having so much fun playing with the other dogs. Would definitely use her again.

Excellent care and communication! Our Ruby came home happy and tired from all the fun she had, and we got updates along the way. Will absolutely book again!

I cannot thank Nikki enough! We had to leave our new kitten behind, we were so worried to leave him with someone. I am so happy we found Nikki. He ended up needing to go to the emergency vet and Nikki kept me updated every step of the way. She even took him to a follow up vet appointment for me. And treated our kitten like a member of her own family. Use Nikki!!

I am a freelance graphic designer, so I have a very flexible schedule! My boyfriend and I both work from home and love our space. We are always here and do not leave dogs along in our care. Very flexible for clients as well.

Pets

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs mentally and physically. We can go on long walks to smell all the new smells around the neighborhood. I can teach them new tricks and play games. I have lots of enriching toys and a large fenced in yard for them to run around in. They usually wear each other out!

Let me know if your dog has any specific concerns I should know about or personality traits that might be helpful! I am flexible, but try to let me know ahead of time for any changes.
