Meet Nikki Westbrook, Trainer

Growing up, Nikki had a love for both animals and children since her family ran a daycare. She comes from a large family (7 sisters and 3 brothers) where she loved to dog sit her siblings dogs and also babysit. Although her love for animals was there, she didn’t have many opportunities to work with them so she chose to pursue nannying. She loved every child she got to care for but would get particularly excited when a family she worked with had dogs and the desire to work with them grew.She found a groomer who was training and gave that a shot for a bit. Even though she loved being around the dogs she felt that it wasn’t the kind of environment she wanted to be in and went back to nannying until 2022, when she saw that OLK9 was hiring, and the rest is history!When Nikki isn’t training, you’ll find her writing music, playing the guitar and piano, hanging out with family along with the family dogs, and spending time with her husband Colin, and their son, Declan, who was born in November 2022!
