Dog loving, radical living!

Pet care experience

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’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. I currently live in an apartment above an art gallery in north Oakland/Emeryville area so while there’s no fenced yard supervised outside time is encouraged. Oh, and the endless spoiling your critter with love, of course! Let me know if you need any other info :)

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!

Information Niko N. would like to know about your pet

I have experience with all sorts of dog breeds and even other animal species. As long as you let me know what your pet needs in terms of care (ie: diet, attention needed, special bathroom accommodations) I'm confident we can work something productive out.

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!
