Availability
Pet care is a consistent and important part of my weekly routine. I offer flexible availability for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout Granite Bay, Roseville, and Folsom. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I do my best to accommodate both regular schedules and occasional last-minute needs when possible. I enjoy building consistency with the dogs I care for, whether that’s daily walks, check-ins, or overnight stays. I plan my schedule around bookings to ensure each pet receives my full attention, without feeling rushed. I’m also communicative and reliable with timing, updates, and coordination so everything runs smoothly for both pets and owners.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, comfort, and consistency are my top priorities when providing dog walking, house sitting, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care. Before any booking, I take time to learn your dog’s routine, personality, energy level, training cues, triggers, and any medical or dietary needs. This helps me provide consistent care and reduces stress while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and multi-dog households, and I always adjust my approach based on each dog’s individual needs. For dog walking, I use secure leashes or harnesses and stay fully attentive to surroundings at all times. I prioritize safe, structured walks and avoid unfamiliar or unsafe interactions with other animals. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I maintain your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication (if needed), playtime, and companionship. When providing in-home boarding or house sitting, I keep a calm, clean, and respectful environment and follow all household instructions closely. I prioritize secure doors, gates, and supervision to ensure pets are always safe and comfortable in their own environment. I currently live with three dogs, so I’m very familiar with managing different personalities, energy levels, and boundaries in a shared space. I always prioritize safe introductions and only allow interaction when appropriate for all pets involved. You can expect clear communication, regular updates, and photos during every service so you always know how your dog is doing. My goal is to provide reliable, trustworthy pet care that keeps your dog safe, happy, and comfortable—and gives you complete peace of mind while you’re away.
Information Nika D. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know their feeding schedule, their communication style, habits, likes, dislikes and fears, if any. The more I know, the better experience for everyone!
A typical day
A typical day with the dogs I care for includes relaxed walks where they can take their time, explore, and enjoy plenty of sniffing and movement. For more active dogs, I like adding longer walks or time outdoors when appropriate. For others, it’s slower-paced outings and calm companionship. At home, I follow their normal routine—feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and downtime—so things feel familiar and stress-free. I always adjust to each dog’s energy and personality, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for throughout the day.

Pet care experience
Dogs have always been one of the biggest parts of my life. I’ve been lucky to share my life with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities, and each one has taught me something different. For nearly ten years, I had my soul dog, Jax, a German Shepherd who completely changed my life. He taught me patience, trust, communication, and the depth of the bond we share with our dogs. Losing him deepened my appreciation for every moment we get with them and strengthened my commitment to caring for every dog with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Today, I share my home with three wonderful dogs, each with their own unique personality, energy level, and quirks. Living with them has only reinforced what Jax taught me: every dog is different, and the best care comes from taking the time to understand what makes each one feel safe, happy, and loved. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’ll always make sure to learn your dog’s routine and preferences so I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable. You can also expect plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and I don’t take that lightly. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or quiet company, my goal is to make them feel safe, understood, and cared for. Every dog has a story, and I’d love the chance to be part of yours.
Reviews

Nika did an awesome job walking our dog on short notice. She was professional and very timely, we would book her again. Thanks!

The evidence shows in Nika's care for Murphy through the photos and messages she leaves on his Rover card. Fortunate to have found someone we can trust and who takes great care of our pet!

Nika leaves us feeling reassured when we are away. She's prompt with her check-ins and we always come home to a happy pup. We are fortunate to have found her on Rover!

Nika is great with Murphy!!! She sends us thorough updates with activities done with each visit. With both of us working full time jobs, she's been so helpful in ensuring our puppy gets the care and attention he needs.
