Nicki Walters is the resilient force behind Pooper Trooper, a premier dog waste management company that has served the Seattle for over twenty-three years. Her journey is a masterclass in perseverance, beginning with a childhood shaped by the grit of a single mother and the early loss of her brother. Nicki channeled this strength into a powerhouse retail career, rising from the sales floor to become a four-time "Buyer of the Year" at Macy’s before trading corporate politics for the purposeful independence of entrepreneurship alongside her late husband, Bill.
Today, Nicki stands as a dedicated leader who steered Pooper Trooper through profound personal tragedy—including the loss of her husband, Bill, and a life-altering accident—without ever compromising her commitment to the community. Beyond business metrics, she is an environmental advocate whose research-driven approach protects Washington’s waterways. Through her innovative "Adopt-A-Park" program and a philosophy that treats every client like family, Nicki proves that a legacy isn’t just built on what you collect, but on the environment and community you leave behind.
