Broke college student, love dogs

Pet care experience

I am a third year student at Cal Poly, studying Graphic Design, with a very flexible schedule and a very passionate love for all dogs! I have a 11 year old golden retriever named Shadow, back at home in the Bay Area, so I understand the love and attention each every dog needs and I enjoy being around them so I can assure any owner that your dog will be happy while they are away from you. I have experience taking care of a variety of pets for friends and neighbors back in highschool, so I am already familiar and comfortable with caring for dogs other than my own. I joined Rover because I’m always happier in the presence of a dog, often missing having mine around while im away at school so I thought joining this community was the perfect solution. I love living an active lifestyle as well, so dog walking, playing with, and taking care of dogs is right up my alley. I live by Madonna mountain and have easy access to fun trails if that’s something your dog enjoys however if your dog needs a more relaxed stay, I can provide a comfortable and cozy environment within my apartment, which I share with two other roommates who are very well experienced with taking care of dogs as well and would love to give any extra attention and love to your dog while they are around. My goal is to make sure all your dog’s needs are met and most importantly that they have a fun and comfortable time away from home!

When Nikolina was 10 years old, we adopted our very first dog, Shadow, a wonderful Golden Retriever, that soon became know as "her " dog. Even though we have 2 other children, Shadow became, Nikolina's "shadow". She took on her role as his primary caretaker very seriously and with great responsibility. Now that she is away at college, she is greatly missed in Shadow's daily life and he anxiously awaits her short visits back home, while he sleeps at the foot of her empty bed. Any dog would be very fortunate to have Nikolina as their caretaker. Her love and affection for dogs combined with her responsible nature are a perfect match.

Information Nikolina C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if there are any specific medical needs, if they get along with other dogs, if they have any physical limitations, in short, anything important that someone should know when taking care of your dog that does not fit the usual case.

A typical day

I can walk around the neighborhood, in the area close to your home as well as go on fun hikes/trails nearby, such as Madonna mountain (I know some great trails that are very close to my apartment). I can also run with your dog if that’s something your dog would enjoy and be capable of, I play on the Cal Poly Women’s Club Soccer team and would enjoy the extra exercise with your dog! I am also able to play fetch at any nearby park, or any other games your dog may specifcally enjoy.
