“Nikki is absolutely wonderful! Her attention to detail and genuine care made a world of difference. She was incredibly attentive and patient, even with Oliver’s hesitation to warm up. Her kindness and dedication stood out especially when dealing with Whiskers’ coughing fits—she stayed right by his side to ensure he was okay, which I deeply appreciate. It’s clear she goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care. Thank you, Nikki!”
About: Hi there! I’m a stay-at-home dog mom with over 3+ years of hands-on professional experience in animal care from working in a Kennel, 10+ years of personal experience and a heart full of love for every pet I meet. Since my husband takes care of our household financially, I’m incredibly lucky to do this purely out of passion, not necessity. That means your pet isn’t just another booking to me—they become part of my daily life and routine, and I treat them like family. What sets me apart from other sitters? I’m home all day, so your furry friend gets constant love, attention, and care. I don’t overbook, and I always prioritize quality time, play, and personalized care based on your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, long walks, or keeping up with feeding routines and medications, I’m here to give your pet the comfort and consistency they deserve. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I don’t take that lightly. You can count on me to send regular updates, adorable photos, and give your pet a loving home-away-from-home while you're away. Pet care is my routine! I spend most of my day with animals—whether it’s my own pup or the pets I’m caring for. My availability is very, very open so please don't be afraid to reach out! I’m home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and love throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep everything as stress-free and familiar as possible for your furry friend. I stick closely to your routine—meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care instructions you leave. I want your pet to feel safe, secure, and comfortable in their own space while you're away. I treat your home with the utmost respect and care. I keep things clean, tidy, and organized, and I always double-check doors, gates, and food storage to ensure your pet stays safe. Whether it’s watering a few plants, bringing in the mail, or keeping your pet company during the day or overnight, I’m happy to help however I can.

“I am very pleased with Becky's services while I was out of town. Over 3 visits she engaged in a variety of activities with my dog. Becky also provided detailed summaries of each visit. I've already booked her again for another upcoming trip.”
“There’s nothing like traveling and worrying the entire time! I was hesitant to use this app and I wasn’t having any luck finding a sitter…until I came across Emily! She kept me informed everyday! My fur babies were in such a better mood when I came home. They are usually boarded and that was not the best environment for them. It would take them days to resettle in at home. Thanks to Emily they were very well cared for! I will rebook for sure!!!!”
“Stephanie was wonderful with our 17 yr old Yorkie . She came over to our house and met Maggie before we went on vacation. She sent us lots of pictures and was punctual for all visits.

As of right now, all seven days of the week are generally free for me and I am home most of the time. However, there may be some days where I'm not available, such as certain holidays or family events. If something happens where I can't take care of your animal(s) (such as an emergency), I'll try to let you know ahead of time. I'll always keep your animals supervised regardless of whatever service I'm doing at the time. If your animal takes medications, I'll administer them at the correct times.
“Benjamin took great care of my 2 cats. He always sent a picture, whether of the cats (if he saw them), or of a full food and water bowl. He also checked in to let me know the cats were doing well. I absolutely recommend him and would have him watch my cats again!”
“Myra let me know exactly what Harmony was doing or had done. Harmony doesn’t like strangers and yet twice Harmony let Myra pet her for a quick minute. I was also concerned about her eating….she’s an old cat and at times, even with me, she won’t eat. Myra always took pictures of of her food and water bowls. And that made me feel more at ease. Myra let me know immediately that one day she was going to a little bit later….which I was absolutely okay with. It was though very appreciated that she let me know. If I ever need to leave Harmony again I will have Myra again.”

Julia was great! Very communicative both before and during her drop in, attentive to the instructions given, sent pictures of the pups from her stop, and made sure everything was secure and safe following her visit. All you can ask for from a rover. Thank you Julia!
