Meet the Crew
Niki
My love of animals started at a young age when we spent summers in Virginia where we would catch fireflies in the meadows and crawfish in the creeks. We were always gentle with them and released them safely. Life has come a long way since then and I have met so many wonderful animals!
When I have spare time I volunteer for Northern Bound Rescue here in CT and walk the dogs and sometimes even get to take them out on excursions! It has been so rewarding and I hope someday I can start my very own nonprofit to help local pets in need. I am an animal advocate and I believe the way someone treats animals shows you who that person truly is.
I will most likely be the one to show up to serve your pets but I do have some trustworthy and caring people who lend a hand when needed.

I have always had a love for animals, I grew up in a house surrounded by fury friends. I now am old enough to have my own, and enjoy the love they bring. As I have gotten older, I have learned the many responsibilities of being a dog mom. I enjoy doing training with my dogs as much as possible, and going on fun adventures with them. I worked in a kennel for 2 years, and from there I have learned animal behavior and how to create a positive and safe atmosphere for myself and the animals being cared for. I can proudly say, with every animal I encounter, I love them like my own and intend to have a fun and loving time creating a strong bond with them. When I’m not with my four legged children, I enjoy traveling and being around family and friends.

I’m a huge animal lover, I always have been. When I was young, you’d always find me outside catching frogs or looking under rocks for salamanders! I currently have 4 dogs and 2 leopard geckos and I hope to rescue even more animals someday! When I’m not working I’m most likely outside playing or hiking with my dogs, baking, or going for trips with my dogs (my dog Max is obsessed with being in the car!) I love working with pets, it’s my true passion and I’ll make sure to care for your animals as if they were my own! In the future I hope to be a wildlife rehabilitator, so I can help even more animals!

Kareena
Hi! I’m Kareena! I’ve always had a deep love for animals and grew up learning about them, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. Since joining Humbles Hounds in 2024, I’ve truly found something I love! Getting to spend time with and care for your pets is the best part of my day!
I recently fostered a Great Dane/Lab mix who was the definition of a gentle giant, which made me fall even more in love with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m always excited to learn more about each pet I meet and to create a safe, happy, and comfortable experience for them.
I’m reliable, attentive, and always happy to help in any way I can. I’m excited to meet you and your furry (or not so furry!) family.
Nikki is AMAZING in every single way! Super flexible, amazing prices and our pup absolutely ADORES her. She is always prepared with treats and water. Even went as far as bringing a ramp so our dog didn't have to jump in and out of her car when our pups leg was hurting. And can't forget the times she was on the side of the road dressing our dog up for birthdays and holidays 😂 Forever recommend her and the only person I will ever trust to take care of our dog the same way we would!
Niki is awesome with our Bruno Boy!! Niki has cared for our pup many times, including overnight. Her love is evident in the pictures she sends us while our boy is in her care. Her loving care shows when we return to a happy, well-cared-for pup! We highly recommend Niki for any dog/pet needs you may have. She is dependable, trustworthy and worth every cent. We will definitely be hiring Niki again in the future!
I would highly recommend Niki at Humble Hounds. She is amazing with my Dog and Cat🐾 She always sends pictures from her visit!
