Pet care experience
I have been caring for pets since I was ten years old. My family has adopted dogs, cats, snakes, tarantulas, and several other animals throughout my childhood. I have learned a lot about the general nature of many different species of animals, and I will use this knowledge to care for any pets I sit for. I have more recently been attending training classes for my miniature schnauzer, so I also have some foundational dog training knowledge. This could prove to be useful for any dog parents I sit for.
Reviews
Nika is wonderful! I knew when we initially met with her that she would be a good fit! She listened to everything we told her about our dogs and she asked questions. She even brought in a delivery for us while we were away. She took great care of our dogs and we will absolutely use her again.
Nika is amazing. She truly loves and cares for your pets. I will use her anytime.
Nika was amazing with our cats, as always! She gave us great updates each time she visited, and took care of everything we needed! She is definitely our go-to cat sitter!
We love Nika! She takes such great care of our fur babies and takes amazing pictures of our little boys! So great to see all the pics while we're out!

Safety, trust & environment
Pet parents know their animal best. While I have general knowledge about how to keep pets safe, I am also dedicated to following the instructions left by pet parents. I want pet parents to know that I am looking to provide a safe and enriching experience for their pets whether I am pet-sitting or taking them on a walk.
Information Nika B. would like to know about your pet
Before pet sitting, I like to know the following: 1. Feeding and dietary needs 2. Medications and health conditions 3. Exercise and activity preferences 4. Behavior and training (any issues that you want me to be mindful of, or any specific cues you would like me to use.) 5. Emergency contacts and veterinary information 6. Daily routine and preferences
A typical day
I love engaging in various fun activities with the dogs I watch! Some of the activities I enjoy include playing fetch in the park, going on hikes on nature trails, and creating “sniffari” obstacle courses. As for special places I like to go on walks, I have a few favorites. There's a lake near my home where dogs can sniff around and enjoy the water. Additionally, Shelby Park provides a peaceful and refreshing environment for our walks. I always make sure to explore different places to keep the dogs entertained and provide them with new experiences.
