Pet care experience

🐾 My name is Nika and I have dedicated my life to providing exceptional care for animals of all shapes, sizes and breeds. Growing up in a household filled with the unconditional love of our canine friends, I developed a deep passion and profound understanding of their behavior, needs, and well-being. When I was born, I shared my crib with our family dog and by the age of 5 I started going on walks not only with our own pups but also with the neighbours. Ever since I can think of, I've been around dogs and cats and there has never been a time where I lived without them, and I'd never wanna change it. Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of dogs, from the tiniest Chihuahuas to majestic Great Danes, and everything in between. Additionally, my expertise extends to our feline friends, as I have fostered a strong bond with cats through my years of experience. No matter the size, breed, or species, I approach each animal with the same level of love, respect, and devotion. One of my proudest accomplishments as a pet sitter is my proficiency in positive reinforcement training techniques. I firmly believe that building a strong bond between pet and owner is essential, and positive reinforcement methods have proven to be highly effective in fostering healthy relationships based on trust, understanding, and joy. From basic obedience commands to advanced behavioral training, I am dedicated to shaping well-mannered and happy pets through positive reinforcement. As a pet owner myself, I am acutely aware of the concerns and anxieties that can arise when leaving your beloved companions in someone else's care. Rest assured, your pets will receive the highest level of attention, compassion, and love in my capable hands. I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness above all else, ensuring they feel secure and content while you're away. With my extensive experience and profound understanding of the unique needs of each individual pet, I am equipped to provide personalized care tailored to meet their specific requirements. Whether it's daily visits, overnight stays, or simply taking them for a delightful stroll, I am committed to creating an environment that mirrors the love and care you provide at home. I am genuinely passionate about what I do and consider myself privileged to embark on this incredible journey with your four-legged family members. So, give yourself peace of mind and your pets the attention they deserve by entrusting them to an experienced pet sitter like me. Together, we can create a nurturing and joyful experience for your furry companions, ensuring they thrive in your absence. Please don't hesitate to reach out to discuss your specific needs and schedule a consultation. Let's make your pets' lives as fulfilling and enriched as possible!

Nika has taken care of my two pups a handful of times now and she just keeps getting better. I cannot express enough how trustworthy and caring she is to have around. She watched my dogs in my home and took great care of them. She even went to the extent to upholster clean my couch when one of the dogs had an accident. If you are looking for the best sitter in the Brandon/Riverview/Tampa area she is the one!

Information Nika D. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me, if your dog has special needs or rules to handle. If your pet is reactive, I will need to know the the things that trigger it so we can prevent the pup from having a bad situation.
