Highlights
Pet care experience
Love for all, Flexible Schedule!
I’ve always had an affinity to take care of animals, and cared for many strays growing up. I have been doing so in my adult life continuously, for over 13 years. I have a strong and genuine connection with animal beings and give the utmost respect and care when sharing space with them!
Cat care experience
Nika also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I have one small dog and one small cat who both love company but can also respect personal space if needed! What works for you , will always work for us! I love details, so if they have a lot of tasks or requirements, it is no issue at all and I would be more than happy to ensure they get all of the time and attention needed.
Ratings and reviews
Nika was fantastic!! She sent us daily pictures of our cat Dusty and it was great knowing Dusty was obviously very happy. Would highly recommend Nika and plan on using her in any of our future trips
Nika has been wonderful as usual. She took great care of Rocco with his special care needs and many medications
Highly Recommended! (but not high that we can't book her!) LOL
Once again, Nika was a superstar in looking after our pup and home. She really learns what your dog likes or dislikes and builds trust quickly. She is also wonderful at leaving the house spotless! Always 5 stars!
First time using this service, to say we were nervous would have been a huge understatement! Knowing our girl, her anxieties, her play and her love, we felt very guilty about leaving her, let alone to a stranger. Then in walks Nika... She came to our home to meet Olive and immediately began to bond. Her calmness and ability to recognize cues with our girl won her (and us) over. She has put our nerves at bay. She is kind, thoughtful and very interactive with Olive. Over the last 2 days we have seen lots of photos and interaction with us throughout the day. We are grateful to have found her! We highly recommend!
Nika's been a delight to take care of our little Rocco everytime, he's been happier and healthier since she started taking care of him when we are gone. We no longer need to worry when travelling

Schedule
I work from home and so my schedule is very flexible. Of course with two pets in the house, daily pet care is something that is already habitual!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsNika can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
- What works for you , works for us. If your dog/cat/furred or unfurred animal companion has any special needs etc, I am more than happy to accommodate and ensure everything is taken care of. If you are a new client, the opportunity to take additional time to meet prior to the care, would be beneficial! Good things to know about your pets; What are their dietary needs (allergies, meal routine) or health concerns, any special needs they may have? What is your pet's personality - are they anxious, snuggly, stubborn, easygoing? How do they react to other pets/people? Are they comfortable being picked up? How frequently do they need potty breaks? Anything they are scared of or known past traumas being worked through? (noise, big trucks, cars, bicycle, other dogs etc.) How do they walk? Good on or off leash, good listening etc
