Professional Pet Sitter in Brooklyn

Hi, I’m Nekisha! 👋🏽 With 10+ happy client reviews from 2022–2023, I’ve built a trusted reputation on Rover for providing loving, reliable care that gives pet parents peace of mind. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, an overnight stay, or puppy playtime, I treat every pet with the same attention and love I give my own. I have a 7-year-old Shih Tzu who I’ve raised since she was just 2 months old, so I understand the commitment, patience, and joy that comes with caring for dogs at every stage of life. From daily exercise to cuddles and belly rubs, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! You can trust that I’ll treat your “babies” as my own — with plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. 🐾

♥️♥️♥️ Knives had the best time — I could tell from the photos alone how loved and cozy she felt the whole stay! Communication was so warm and easy, with sweet updates that put my mind completely at ease being away from my little one. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly smitten. I felt so lucky to have found someone who treats her like family. Can't recommend enough — will absolutely be booking again! Thank you so much Nekisha !!

Nekisha is simply phenomenal. She took good care of our mini Aussie puppy. She was able to accommodate his teething and bathroom needs. Her updates were incredible. My wife was able to keep in contact and get updates. We got pictures and videos multiple times a day. She was very responsive. She even accommodated a short notice late pickup due to our flight delay. Our Luca loves her. I’m so grateful and would absolutely use her again.

Nekisha is the best! She sent many photos of my cat while I was away for a week, and it was apparent how quickly he felt safe at home. Nekisha is a true animal lover, and I felt so at ease on my trip knowing he was in very loving hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pup plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, I’ll make sure your dog feels loved and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pet-friendly apartment building that’s designed with comfort and safety in mind. While I don’t have a yard, my building has a dog field on our roof for plenty of running and potty breaks. We also have nearby walking routes for exercise. We also have a dog washing station in the building — perfect for quick clean-ups or baths if needed. Plus, with a front desk receptionist, you can feel confident knowing the building has an added layer of security for drop-offs and pick-ups. I also have a play pen for your dog if needed.

Pets

A typical day

A day with me means plenty of fun and activity! We’ll go for walks in the park, play fetch, and enjoy squeaky toys indoors. And of course, belly rubs are always included. I’ll make sure your pup gets the perfect balance of exercise, play, and cuddle time.

I’d love to know as much as possible about your pet to provide the best care.
