Pet care experience

Loving, Trustworthy Pet Care

I’m a caring and trustworthy pet sitter with a genuine love for both cats and dogs. As a dedicated breeder, I’ve spent years working closely with animals, giving me a deep understanding of their behavior, health, and emotional needs. I have hands-on experience with pets of all sizes and temperaments, including large and aggressive dog breeds—especially from owning, breeding, and caring for them myself. I know how important it is to approach each pet with patience, confidence, and calm energy. Whether your pet needs daily walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or overnight care, I provide reliable and loving service tailored to their unique needs. My goal is to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I currently have two female Cane Corsos (mother and daughter) who live indoors and are part of the family. They’re well-behaved, love their BarkBox toys, and get excited for their pup cups—just a small example of the love and attention I give every pet in my care.

Nicki was great! The pups loved her and she was super sweet to them. Will definitely be using her whenever we have the need again

Nicki did an amazing job watching Spike at home while we were gone for an extended trip. She sent multiple pictures every visit showing interactive activity and she kept us up to date with weather changes, power outages, and deliveries. Spike can’t wait for us to go away again so he can visit with his new BFF!

Nicki did a great job with both of our dogs! She was always on time and communicated any questions or issues that came up in a timely manner. Nicki was also very flexible with schedule changes that came up. Her attention to the dogs and their needs, along with the great qualities described above, make her an excellent candidate if you’re looking for the ideal pet sitter!

Hi! I’m really looking forward to spending time with your pet. To make sure I take the best care of them, could you tell me a bit about them? Here are a few things I’d love to know: • Name, breed, and age • Personality (shy, playful, cuddly, protective, etc.) • Daily routine (feeding times, walk schedule, bedtime) • Favorite toys, games, or treats • Any health issues, medications, or allergies? • Any fears or dislikes? (like loud noises, strangers, or other pets) • Are they allowed on furniture or beds? • How do they usually behave when left alone? • Do they get along with other animals or people? • Any special instructions or little quirks I should know about?
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.
