House Sitting Highlands

About: Hello fellow animal lovers my name is Nikki. I am a self employed children's chess instructor who has spent years managing programs and caring for children and animals. I bring a high level of professionalism, responsibility, and attention to every pet I care for. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision. My goal is to make that process as easy as possible for both you and your beloved pet. I am highly attentive to each pets individual needs, whether that means maintaining a structured routine or providing extra reassurance. Spoiling your pet is guaranteed. I don't take a one size fits all approach. Each pet receives individual care based on their personality, energy level, and routine. They deserve it! With me you will receive: *Clear and consistent communication from start to finish. *Multiple updates with photos and videos so you always know how your sweetheart is doing. *Respect for your home, your time, and your pets needs. I am obsessive about keeping your home clean and staying only in the areas designated for your pets care. *Someone who will love and care for your pet as much as you do. *A sweet 9 year old playmate named Reina who is up to date on all vaccinations. Will also be groomed before any sit. I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. My love of other peoples pets prompted them to begin to ask me to start dog and cat-sitting. People who are very wary of strangers in their homes have trusted me and were able to take a much needed vacation. I am so happy to be able to fufill this role. Please read the testimonials for more details about the individual pets I have cared for over the years. I am new to Rover, however I have been doing this for a very long time. I only take a limited amount of clients so can can provide the high level of care and attention your pet deserves. If you are looking for a trusted, dependable sitter I am confident you will be happy with the care I provide. Please contact me if you would like to schedule a meet and greet. I have a very flexible schedule (afternoons and evenings are ideal) Since I do not work a 9-5 I am confident we can arrange the time you need sitting. I am only a drop in and stay over sitter. I will leave your home exactly as it was and spoil your dog or cat. You will receive updates via text, email, facetime. Just let me know what your need!

“Kerry was so amazing with our pup! She took care to send us great photos and updates each day, which we really appreciated. Our dog is a little apprehensive when meeting new people, but Kerry took it in stride and won her over quickly. She even dealt with a bout of tummy issues and made our dog a special meal to help settle her stomach. We thought Kerry was awesome and would highly recommend her to others!”

About: I am a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for my own dog as well as watching dogs for friends and family. Through these experiences, I have become comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic care, providing exercise, reinforcing household routines, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they need. What sets me apart is that I understand how important it is to treat every dog like a member of the family. I am dependable, attentive to each dog’s individual needs, and committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so they can feel secure and happy in my care. I am also comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and energy levels and can accommodate special instructions from owners to ensure consistency and peace of mind. I am a school psychologist off for the summer. I am available through Labor Day for more full time care, and on week nights and weekends during the school year. I have a fenced in yard that is pet friendly! I have a very active five year old golden doodle, so my home is pet proofed.

My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and keep your pets happy, safe, and comfortable.

Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with plenty of experience caring for family pets and neighbors' dogs, often stepping in as a trusted pet sitter when they’re away. Over the years, I’ve learned how to handle different breeds and temperaments with patience and care, always making sure each dog feels comfortable and safe in my home. I also have a well-trained dog of my own, who’s friendly and well-behaved, however, when I watch other dogs, they’ll have the house to themselves on occasion, (as he frequently spends time visiting his grandma!), giving them space to relax without the stress of interacting with a new animal. My goal is always to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels right at home. I’m currently working freelance and have the flexibility to watch your pet as needed during the week and weekend. With advanced notice, I am able to provide boarding/overnight services. My home offers a clean, open floor plan with plenty of space for your dog to relax and explore comfortably. There’s an enclosed outdoor patio for fresh air and sun, along with two large dog beds topped with clean sheets to help your pup feel right at home. I also provide natural treats as a little extra touch to keep them happy and satisfied. When your pet is staying with me, they’ll be my top priority. I’m committed to giving them my full attention, care, and affection during their visit.

I’m calm, patient, and playful, and I always pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort. In my home in Pier Village, pets enjoy safe, enriching walks along the beach and boardwalk, cozy spots to rest, and lots of cuddles and attention! I only host one dog in my care at a time to provide calm, focused, and personalized care for your fur baby:) Whether in your home or mine, I focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and stress free, giving them the love, care, and reassurance they deserve while their family is away. I also provide updates and photos so you can see that your furry friend is comfortable, happy, and thriving!

“We left our cherished Pitt Boxer, Zeke, in Erin's able care for five days, including overnite stays. We were so pleased with how they immediatley took to each other and knew that we had nothing to worry about as the family travelled to the West Coast. Erin was very responsible, looked after our home as requested, communicated frequently, sent pictures, and took great care of our boy. Erin is a delightful person, and Zeke has a new BFF. We highly recommend her.”

About: I have experience training and caring for dogs and cats. I Specialize in dogs with hearing issues/ deafness. Both of my dogs are graduates of multiple behavioral and obedience classes resulting in our therapy certifications. We visit a multitude of schools, hospitals and other wellness centers. All volunteer work done by my companions and myself is strictly a passion and non profit. I was inspired by a visitation to my grandfather by a golden retriever, when my grandfather was in the hospital for open heart surgery. Seeing my grandfathers reaction to a dog visitation while he was in the hospital was a monumental moment for me that further inspired my passion and drive to work with dogs. I currently work early mornings for a government agency as an officer which gives me a lot of available free time at off times of the day and week. Making me readily available to care for your pets . A fenced yard is a must. My dogs are trained and raised to be curious and outgoing, thus a fence is needed. Although my dogs don’t need a leash, I find it’s necessary to generally have a leash attached. I allow my dogs to be curious, and put there noses where many wouldn’t generally allow. It’s important to always cover your stove switches/ burners with dog safety devices!. But ultimately I strongly believe in allowing your dogs and pets to be curious and open to learning. Dogs and cats alike are much smarter then most realize, and I believe this is there first time living as well.. and deserve the best experiences life has to offer!
