Owner, Animal Lover

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.

Niki gives us piece of mind when we go away. She goes above and beyond, getting mail, bringing in packages and even taking down our smoke/carbon monoxide detector when it was churning. She sends photos everyday just to let you know that your babies are doing fine. We have two Guinea pigs, so she has experience caring for small animals as well. Don’t hesitate to call her. Your babies will be in good hands.

Niki takes care of my pups whenever I need more flexibility than my daycare/boarding can provide, like holiday or weekend dropoff/pickup. She sends fun pictures to put our minds at ease. She also does drop-ins for my kitty to feed him and he loves seeing her. She even takes the mail and paper in while we are gone. Highly recommend.

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!
