nikki dunnan :: office manager

Nikki has served as See Spot Sit’s Office Manager since February 2011. She moved to San Diego in 1993 from her hometown of Colorado Springs and received a bachelor's degree in psychology from UC San Diego. She is also a professional dancer who feels most at home on stage. In December 2009 she rescued her canine soul mate, Nijinksy (in photo), from the county shelter and changed both their lives for the better. Sadly, Nijinsky passed in April 2020, but her broken heart was rescued by Lincoln, a boisterous, demanding, and extremely handsome AmStaff mix. Dogs are the very best.

OUR TEAM :: ANIMAL LOVERS

Our team is carefully chosen and trained with the safety of your pet and home in mind. After an extensive interview process, each potential walker/sitter trains for a minimum of 2 weeks with an experienced dog handler. With a certified Pet First Aid and CPR instructor and a dog trainer on staff, our team is knowledgeable and confident in any circumstance that may arise. All of our sitters/walkers are covered under our liability insurance and bonding, so you can have peace of mind as we enter your home and care for your pet(s).
