Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog loving, radical living!
My name's Niko (they/them pronouns) and yes I've got a lot of tattoos and yes I’m genuinely good at bonding with your pets! I ran a private pet care business in CA for years, can provide references, back on this app cause new to the area! I’ve got experience in all sorts of pet care. I've spent years specializing in pets with anxious attachment styles and find bonding with an animal around their terms and quirks to be extremely important to forming long term working relationships. I have worked everything from public dog boarding facilities to private in home daycare. Basic pet CPR trained and have experience with our higher maintenance pets whether it be stricter feeding restrictions or medication schedules. Weekend and long term stays are more than welcomed! For day visits we can work one on one bonding with your pet or go out and work on socializing in a more public setting. Oh, and the endless spoiling your critter with love, of course! Let me know if you need any other info :)

Ratings and reviews
Jojo had a great time staying with Nikole!
Niko was amazing. They were very responsive and assured me that Charlie was doing well everyday. I will definitely book again :)
Miles had a great time and Nikole was very responsive. I'd definitely have them sit Miles again.
Niko was amazing! Marvin is still a puppy and not fully vaccinated, but Niko knew exactly what to do and how to handle training. Niko shared pictures while we were away and was able to give him all the loving in the world! Highly recommend Niko!
It’s my first time booking house sitting thru Rover and I’m so glad I found Niko to take care of my dog Ollie. She’s so responsive, super polite and friendly, and my dog has spent a great time with her. I will definitely book again!
I can’t recommend Niko highly enough to take care of your pet! They were so great with our shy and reactive dog Pinto who typically takes some time to warm up but within hours was cuddling Niko on the couch. He kept it touch every day with photos and updates while we were gone and we came back to a super happy dog and clean home. We felt so confident that Pinto was in good hands the whole time and definitely plan on hiring Niko to watch our dog again!

Schedule
I work part time at a community art gallery so have lots of time to hang with your pets both in and outside of your home.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is currently pet free so have all the time and space to focus on yours and I have a range of experience caring for pets in different environments.
A typical day
We can go just about where ever your pup is comfortable! Whether it thrives socially around downtown roads getting attention from strangers, more one on one alone in the house settings, or even socializing in dog parks!
