Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately, I am not able to house any friends, but am more than willing to pick them up and take them to the dog park, take a walk around your neighborhood, or care for them in your home!

Information Niayla B. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know if your animal has specific needs, medications, or health issues. To ensure I know how to care for them, that will ensure their safety! Also, knowing if your dog is comfortable around other animals, etc., to ensure their safety again and ensure they are not in a position that would cause stress (like while on walks or in a park)!

A typical day

I love to go on walks, play fetch or any type of game that will provide stimulation! Also love to snuggle up with the ones who need ocasional cuddles!

Love animals!

Pet care experience

I grew up with animals and have loved to care for them from a very young age, whether they be cats, dogs, turtles, etc. I have had years of experience caring for my own animals as well as others! I've fostered and rescued various animals over the years. During the Pandemic, I rescued a puppy that was only two weeks old and, nursed her back to health and continued to care for her! She now lives with my mom and is very loving and energetic. I work with young children, and I often work with children on the spectrum or children who are in need of more one one-on-one care. With this experience, my ability to be patient, understanding, and flexible has continued to grow, and I am more than comfortable working with animals who are seen as a bit more “challenging.” With my experience, I am confident that my ability to provide safe and fun care will always be achieved.

Niayla was wonderful. It was my first time leaving my cat, Camille, at home by herself for two weeks and Niayla clearly gave her so much love, attention, and cuddles while I was gone. It really put my mind at ease to have someone in my home who so obviously truly cared for Camille. I could tell in all the photos and from the updates that they really enjoyed each other’s company and could not be more grateful to have found Niayla on this app!

Thank you so much for taking care of Bucket. She seemed to love you a bunch.

Niayla was so responsive in setting up a last-minute dog sitting and answering all my questions, since this was my first time using Rover. She followed all instructions, reached out when she had questions, and sent regular photo updates. I felt good about leaving our home and pup in her hands and would hire her again.

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.
