A typical day

I prefer providing fun and stimulating activities that cater to each dog's individual needs and preferences. Some of the fun activities I like to do with the dogs I watch include playing fetch, tug-of-war, and hide-and-seek. If a dog is more laid back, I'll spend time giving them extra belly rubs and cuddles. When it comes to walks, I like to mix it up and take the dogs on different routes to keep things interesting for them. I often choose parks, hiking trails, and other scenic locations where the dogs can explore and sniff to their hearts' content. Depending on the dog's energy level and socialization, I may also take them to a dog park or arrange a playdate with another friendly dog. Safety is always my top priority.

Your Puppy's New Best Friend

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Nija; I am a pet owner and lover of over 20 years. Majority of my career experience is in customer service but I am more than ready to service your furry pals throughout the day. I have decades of experience with dogs, my first fur baby Brownie passed away last October from old age, she was with my family for 16 years. We have since welcomed an energetic and lovable labradoodle named Charlie into our home since we had so much love left to give. I've spent years with cats and dogs alike and occasionally volunteer at my local ASPCA. I am caring, patient, customer oriented small business woman and I can't wait to meet you and your pet. I will care for and love your pet as my own as well as provide excellent customer service along the way. I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Nija's been awesome taking my Flora on walks. She takes the best pics too. After weeding thru a bunch of people on this platform, I'm glad to have found her. Thanks!!

Nija was such an attentive and flexible sitter. Our dog got long walks, scratches and more and our cat was so happy to see her every day. There is nothing better than getting pet mail daily from her.

Nija is the best! She's super fast to respond and always reliable whether you book a month out or throw a last-minute request out there! And my pup is always so happy and relaxed when I come home!

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.
