Pets are My Kind of People!!

Pet care experience

My life and my home have always revolved around animals. I designed and built my home with their ease and comfort in mind which allows for a very congenial boarding environment. We have 3 fenced in yards with dog doors and various separate areas for segregation if necessary. Attached to one fenced yard is the garage which has become an open air doggie play room with a 5 ft. kennel enclosure across the garage opening. I have a very engaging and positive communication style with animals and I keep a close eye on everybody; I'm home most all the time. There are separate areas in the house for smaller, older, more sensitive or special needs pets. I also have covered outside kennels for any wild indians!! ;) I have several clients whose homes I go to while they travel. I am able to care for their animals as well as most logistics around home care; mail, indoor plants, out door gardens, service appointments, etc. I am very cat, horse and chicken friendly and knowledgeable having cared for all often through out the years. Since 1985 I have been operating under Pets Are People Too !! Truly, they are my kinda' people!! ;)

My puppy stayed with Nikki for 3 nights. She had a blast playing with other dogs, and was happy and healthy when I picked her up. Nikki is very nice, and the views from her property are gorgeous!

Nikki is a safe haven for pooches of all kinds! She has a wonderful property that is tailored for dogs. Nikki is very professional. She asked the right questions before the stay regarding our dog's care and maintained communication throughout. She was also very flexible and understanding regarding unknown variables. We would not hesitate to leave our dog in Nikki's care again.

Nikki was fantastic. She accommodated us on a VERY last minute request and has an awesome spot for our dogs (indoor and outdoor area).

Nikki is an awesome lady. She genuinely loves the dogs and asks all the right questions about care. One of our girls was a little nervous and Nikki quickly noticed and started trying to make her feel at ease. She's very sweet and friendly. I would leave my baby girls with her anytime we're in the Pagosa area. Thanks Nikki!!!

Information Nikki T. would like to know about your pet

I need to know that the dogs are friendly and well adjusted to other dogs. All guests must be up on vaccinations; that's something I'm happy to discuss if there are concerns I do have very dog savvy cats which may be a consideration. For in your home visits, ease of access is crucial.

A typical day

I live on acreage surrounded by National Forest so the options are many! Great walks and big fenced in areas to play, just out the back door!
