Safety, trust & environment

I give all animals the amount of affection and time they need. An animal will tell you how much or little attention they would like, you can hear it through their reaction to you. Patience is always a must. I have taught my daughter this as well. You cannot properly care for an animal unless you understand their personality.

Information Michele & Nicole B. would like to know about your pet

If they are on medication, what times, dosage, etc. If they have any medical issues I should be prepared for. Also if you require any grooming (brushing, baths, etc)

A typical day

Playing with an animal is a must, exercising them in the way they need. For younger more hyper animal, the exercise is obviously physical. For older/lazier animals, the play is more in the form of attention. Maybe petting, holding, talking to them.

Pets

Dedicated Animal Whisperer

Pet care experience

My mother Michele has retired from Rover and has handed me the reins so to speak. My name is Nikki, i grew up with all different kinds of animals and have volunteered with the humane society for many years. I specialize with helping feral/aggressive animals when i can find the time. My mother calls me the animal whisperer 😊 My husband Ben and i will take jobs together so we have some more flexibility. He also grew up with animals, he has specialized with training huskies in the past. We have an 11 year old daughter that loves to help play with animals. Even in youth she has had a lot of experience with animals and is very respectful and patient. One of her favorite activities is to exercise with animals, so occasionally if I am watching an animal that is good with kids and requires exercise, I will bring her along to join in the fun! (With your permission of course) We have have 3 fur babies of our own, Gypsy, Mila and Blu 😊

Communication was great and the pictures throughout the booking put my mother’s mind at ease since this was our first time using a dog sitter instead of kenneling. I truly appreciate Michele’s love and care while she ensured that our dog received all the love and cuddles he wanted!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
