Make my own hours, flexible & sweet
Pet care experience
I had dogs growing up and miss having them around. I love walking and exploring new areas. I make my own hours and am very flexible. I look foward to meeting different dogs and getting to know their unique "dog-nalities" - I don't have a yard at my apartment (just a fenced patio). But I go out and walk to parks all around North Park each day, even on my own. I am open to walking dogs, doing drop in visits or staying in your home and housesitting. I will likely just care for one at a time, unless you own two, in which case please message me. If there is no where to park at your place please let me know so that I don't drive there. I am making my own work from home schedule these days, so I can be extremely flexible for pick up and drop off times. I usually do dog park visits mid morning and other less busy times to avoid it being busy or crowded. Pets in my home are welcomed up on couches, etc unless you specify not to allow this... I always ask about clients home rules for house-sitting.
Reviews
Nikole did an excellent job taking care of our dog.
Nikole was an incredible sitter for Honey! She was very quick to respond and easy to communicate with over the whole stay. She sent daily photo updates, and asked questions about how to make Honey more comfortable on walks and at home. Honey was happy and healthy when we picked him up and we will definitely try to book with Nikole in the future.
Ms. Nikole took great care to make my dog feel so welcome loved. She shared all the essential details and handed off a calm and happy pup. It’s no wonder she is a darling in the dog care community.
Nikole was very communicative and patient about my Sunny’s care instructions. She did everything she could to provide a proper and comfortable stay.

Safety, trust & environment
I carry an insurance policy for in-MY-home boarding & for in-YOUR-home housesitting. This covers some vet bills and incidentals that Rover would not help with if something awful were to happen. This is for both of our safety, trust, etc. Due to this insurance being nulled & void if you have somebody else sharing in your pet care while you are away, I do not allow any "job share" where your friend/neighbour/whoever handles some portion of your pet's care during your absence. This insurance costs me extra out of pocket, and is considered part of a premium luxury service that is PROFESSIONAL in home pet care. Thank you for understanding.

Information Nikole K. would like to know about your pet
I like to know if your dog prefers several shorter walks in a day, or if they can handle going a few miles at once.
A typical day
I enjoy easy hikes, taking walks around parks, and exploring new trails at Mission Trails Regional Park. I try to get about 10,000 steps in per day for myself, so if your dog is up for that then they'll get some good exercise as well.

Availability
Rover doesn't allow me say which services I am available for on a single calendar day... it should be noted that clients looking for the 24 hour live in who never leaves should look elsewhere... I leave an overnight housesitting house for 4 hour blocks, usually once per 24 hours. I offer a nearly all day, for 20 hours straight I can charge $275 a day... That's for 20 hours with a 4 hour break. I charge $175 for a 10-12 hour overnight and a 30 min potty break during the day. Both price plans are considered a premium, luxury service to a simple 8 hour sleepover only with no nightwalk and no 1st thing in the A.M. walk. Feel free to message me with any questions regarding my schedule for the time you would be away.
