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 would highly recommend Niki at Humble Hounds. She is amazing with my Dog and Cat🐾 She always sends pictures from her visit!
I CANNOT say enough about Niki from Humble Hounds! She’s kept my foster dog twice within the past two months (once for two weeks after his neuter because we’d had a vaca planned before we got him), and she took phenomenal care of him. She checked his incision constantly, gave him a ton of snuggles and sent me updates, pics and videos daily… she’s just an overall fantastic person. Our foster pooch loves her and she follows requests to a “T”. She also makes time on her busiest days to come and exercise him whenever we need her, which has been an amazing help when things pop up, like work requiring we stay later than usual. We’ve been so fortunate to find her, and strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a stable, reliable, responsible, kind and loving dog walker/dog sitter!
Niki is amazing and such a caring soul! My dog Rex, loves going on walks with her!
