Routines. I try to stay on routine as best as possible so pets feel more comfortable and are less stressed while their human(s) are away. Special needs or behaviors to be aware of.

Trusted and caring sitter

Pet care experience

I have taken care of small and large dogs ranging from those that are cautious of people to the ones who want to be your best friend. I come from a family of cat lovers and we’ve have many long hair cats over the years. I offer you peace of mind as a responsible, trustworthy and caring sitter.

Niki was wonderful with my animals while I was away. I tend to get anxious leaving them, but she sent plenty of updates and photos, which really helped put my mind at ease. She was great about keeping me informed, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about my kiddos. My animals have a lot of anxiety, so I always worry about how they'll do when I'm gone, but they did great in her care. When I came home, everyone was happy and healthy. Knowing they were in such good hands made a huge difference. I'm very grateful for the care and attention Niki gave them and plan to use her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Nicole is a fabulous pet sitter. She is careful with your home, super clean (cleans your house, leaves it better than it was), sends pictures of your pets and stories of what they are up to. She is reliable and provides clear communication. She is a trust worthy person to pet sit or walk your animals

We can't recommend our dog sitter highly enough! She takes such wonderful care of our dogs, Louie and Carlos, and always gives us peace of mind when we're away. One of the things we appreciate most is the thoughtful photo updates she sends. Seeing Louie and Carlos happy and relaxed while we're gone means so much to us. As an added bonus, she makes homemade dog treats that our dogs absolutely love! If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable, we wholeheartedly recommend her.

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.
