About Tom & Nikki M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Our cozy home is an ocean of coziness with fluffy dog beds, blankies, and pillows in every area for your dog to lounge and relax in. We have a nice air conditioner that cranks in the summer and a nice heater that keeps the home nice and toasty in the winter, and we have a securely fenced-in yard where your fur baby can enjoy sunbathing, outdoor playtime, leisurely walks, and the infamous sniffing and exploring doggies love to do. Because safety is our number one top priority, they are never left unsupervised both indoors and outdoors. Potty trained dogs are allowed on most furniture (we regularly deep clean every part of our home, especially all the furniture upholstery and rugs). We want them to feel right at home the moment they arrive in our driveway! - 🐶DROP-OFF/PICK-UP🐶 When you arrive here for drop-off's and pick-up's (and Meet & Greets), please have your dog on a leash. We will unleash them once they're safely inside our securely fenced-in yard. - 🐶DURING YOUR PUP'S STAY🐶 When your dog first arrives, we closely observe and monitor their interactions with other dogs (because we typically have multiple dogs here with us at any given time) to be aware of any dynamics that require attention. If any concerns arise, we promptly separate dogs into separate areas (we have multiple gates secured to each doorway inside our home) to ensure their well-being and comfort. - 🐶FEEDING🐶 At mealtime, your dog will enjoy their food in a designated and separated area, ensuring they can savor their meal without interruptions from other dogs. This practice not only prevents food-related aggression but also reduces the likelihood of digestive problems that may occur when consuming unfamiliar dog food. - 🐶SLEEPING🐶 For the safety of all the dogs staying with us, for bedtime they all sleep in crates with a clean and cozy bed and blankie that we will provide. We have a wide variety of crate sizes available, so no need to lug yours over here. We’ve got you covered! All you need to bring is their food and their collar/harness.

Information Tom & Nikki M. would like to know about your pet
The more detailed information you give us about your precious dog, the better experience it will be for them! There's no such thing as too much information when it comes to us getting to know your precious fur baby. We want to know all the important details (and quirks you love about them) as if they were our own, to ensure your dog has the best experience every time they come to stay with Uncle Tom and Auntie Nikki for a visit! - THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR DOG • Quirks or habits that would be helpful to know (Examples: chewing on paws, separation anxiety, excessive barking, humping etc.) • Current or past illnesses, injuries, or traumatic history/triggers • If they are taking any medication or require any special care instructions • Is your dog up-to-date on vaccinations and flea/tick medication? Note: We understand vaccines (and even flea/tick prevention medications) are not bulletproof and that some illnesses may have an extended incubation period, but we still require your dog stays up-to-date with all recommended shots from their Vet to create the safest experience for them (and the other dogs here) while they stay here with us. - If you have more questions or concerns that haven't been covered here, please feel free to reach out to us. Thank you for taking the time to read our bio, and we're excitedly anticipating the chance to meet you and your cherished companion!
A typical day
During your fur baby's stay, we’ll be sure to send you pictures and video pupdates of your pup so you can have peace of mind knowing your baby is being lovingly cared for! We send two sets up pupdates, one batch of pics and video in the earlier part of the day and the second/last batch in the evening. We are tending to your dog and all the other pups here throughout the day, so no need to panic during the silent time between the two batches of pupdates. Although you are more than welcome to message us at anytime, we understand that while you're away, your schedule may not always allow for responses to all our pupdates, so we just want to clarify that there’s no pressure at all to respond to any of our messages (in the event of an emergency, we will contact you directly on your cellphone). All the pupdates we send are so whenever you feel like opening the Rover app to see how your baby is doing, you'll be greeted with plenty of delightful pictures and videos of them! - Depending on your dog's personality, if he or she is limited to physical activity because maybe they're prone to overheat easily, then we would make sure they were spoiled with head scratches and belly rubs...fully relaxed in a cool temperature controlled environment. But if your dog is more high energy and loves to exercise and play a lot, just let us know so we can be sure to accommodate the active lifestyle they're used to (while also giving them head scratches and belly rubs in between playing fetch!). - Thank you so much for considering us to care for your precious pup. It would be our honor to love and cherish them while you're away. We look forward to hearing from you and creating a home-away-from-home atmosphere your fur baby will absolutely love! - We require an in-person Meet & Greet at our home to ensure it's a mutually harmonious fit between all parties :) If you're coming from out of town, we can schedule a video call.

Pet care experience
We are currently out of town until end of July 2026. We will see you when we get back!🐶💕 - If you’re looking for two dog obsessed floof enthusiasts🐶🐶🐾🐾🤩🤩 who provide full-time care and can't get enough of spoiling your fur children...look no further, you’ve come to the right place! We do this because we LOVE to do it, not because we have to❤️. We are Tom & Nikki and welcome to our Rover profile😄 - 🐶ABOUT US🐶 Hi, I’m Tom😊. I’ve been an animal and dog lover since I was a kid! When Nikki and I got married, I became a proud fur dad to her two beloved elderly English Bulldog children. Caring for their special needs and medications taught me so much about senior dog care. Sadly, when we had to say goodbye to both of them😢, our home felt empty without the tippy tap sounds of their toebeans running around everywhere😔. We truly missed the joy and companionship dogs bring, which is why we decided to open up our hearts and home to provide exceptional love and superior care to the wonderful dogs of our community. We consider your dogs not just pets, but cherished family members of our own family🐶❤️ - Hi, I’m Nikki😄. I’ve had a lifelong dog obsession for as long as I can remember🐶😍. I’m definitely “that" dog person who spots a furry floof in the distance and immediately drops everything to run over to squish it with love. It’s impossible for me *not* to get attached to every dog in our care😆. As a matter of fact, Tom always jokes that I need therapy because I never want to let them go. I’d happily keep spoiling each one forever! Of course, he also reminds me that they do have families they eventually need to go back to🤣. I’ve owned and loved three English Bulldogs, a breed known for being incredibly high maintenance in every way. Because of that experience, I’ve developed a keen eye for noticing even the smallest changes in a dog’s behavior, health, or mood. By default, every dog in our care is treated like our own❤️, and we don’t know any other way to treat these precious babies Tom and I consider angels on earth😇🥰 - 🐶SIZES WE CURRENTLY ACCEPT🐶 Nub🤏🏼 (teacup/toy): 0-10 lbs Floof☁️: 11-20 lbs Chonk🐽: 21-30 lbs Chonkmuffin🦛: 31-40 lbs Super Chonk🐽🐽: 41-100 lbs Floofasaurus🦖: 101+ lbs - 🐶PLEASE NOTE🐶: Because safety is our number one priority for all dogs under our care, we have a zero aggression policy. Meaning that if your dog currently has (or has any history of) signs of aggression towards other dogs and/or humans, unfortunately we cannot accommodate them here in our home. For the safety of your dog and the other dogs here, your best option may be a sitter who watches one dog at a time. In the event your dog were to show aggression during their stay and compromise the safety of the other dogs here, please have an emergency contact where you can arrange to pick up your dog if need be. - 🐶MEET & GREETS🐶 Meet and Greets will take place in our front yard and be limited to 15 minutes. We do not give a house tour due to liability reasons, however there is a collection of pictures on our profile that you can use for visual reference :)
Reviews
Thank you for loving our Faith.. She loves it there. I love all the pictures and videos. We will definitely be back.
I wouldn’t leave my baby with anyone else. Tom and Nikki are incredible pet sitters, and love my baby like their own !! ❤️
We had our baby stay with Tom and Nikki for 3 days 2 nights, not only were they so attentive and friendly. It was so so evident my dog had the absolute best time at their house. I got so many updates, pictures, videos, and I was very grateful for them because even though Goose doesn’t have separation anxiety his mom does lol! They have curated the best environment for doggies and my baby came back to me exhausted from the amount of play and very clearly happy. It was our first time using them but whenever we go out of town next, if they aren’t booked up, I will absolutely be a repeat customer. These two are made for this type of work!!! Highly recommend them, such a great experience for me but most importantly my dog!
The best of the best :)
