IN HOME DAYCARE - DOG WALKS - DROP INS - OVERNIGHT STAYS

Your Dog’s Home
Away From Home…

A pet care service for busy professionals, jet setters, and the hard working Film/TV crew members living in the Valley!

Our furry companions are encouraged to lounge on the cozy couch or curl up on the bed, with an ample supply of treats to enjoy throughout the day. We keep to a regular schedule for routine walks, potty breaks, meals and more.

Welcome to Yoshi’s Pack

I’m Nicki, and I share my home with a small, friendly pack: Yoshi, my lively 11-year-old Chihuahua/Italian Greyhound mix; Cloudie, our sweet rescue who joined us in Spring 2025; and two cats, Sally and Charlie. Our days revolve around neighborhood walks, relaxed hangouts, and—let’s be honest—many, many snacks.

Having spent years in television production with long, unpredictable hours, I understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pets are in reliable, attentive care. I’ve created a calm, well-supervised home where dogs can enjoy companionship, downtime, and the comfort of feeling truly at home.

What People Are Saying

I was thankful to find Nicki living close by. When I am working long hours on set, Nicki picks Harley up in the morning and brings her home at night. I come home to find Harley relaxing on my bed after a day of walks, naps, treats, and a trip to the dog park. Harley loves going to Aunt Nicki’s!

I have known Nicki for several years. She is a huge animal lover as I am. I have been rescuing German Shepherd’s for 30 years. I do not trust most people with my dogs because most of them have been neglected and abused. I trust Nicki  ðŸ’¯

Nicki watches my English bulldog Jack Bauer. . She is great with him. She knows when he needs breaks because he'll push himself when it comes to playing ball. He is best friends with her dog Yoshi. I trust her completely to watch the love of my life Jack Bauer. I work in TV production and sometimes work 14 hour days. She is always accommodating and understanding of my schedule. You'd be lucky to have Nicki love your dog!

Absolutely thrilled with Nicki's dog watching service! My dog, Baker, felt at ease right away. Nicki kept me updated with regular photos and messages, showing just how happy and well-cared-for Baker was. She took Baker on long walks, played her favorite games, and followed our feeding and medication schedule perfectly.

I returned to a happy, relaxed dog and a tidy home. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter, Nicki is the best choice. Highly recommended!
