Energetic and motivated pet lover!
Pet care experience
Hi! I'm a current college student at UMass Amherst studying Neuroscience and Biochemistry! I am also a full-time dog lover, and I hope that this summer I can help you and your pet out with dog walking and drop-in visits for your cat or dog! I have been walking dogs in my neighborhood since I was old enough to control a leash, and I have a special fondness for dogs with special needs and/or reactive behaviors. My own pup, Cleopatra, was a rescue that had a lot of behavioral problems. By working with her from puppyhood to now, I have been able to both learn about how to work with reactive dogs and train her to become much more calm and confident on walks and with other dogs. I want to bring that confidence to your pup as well! When I work with your dog I will bring my full energy to every walk, drop-in or house-sit, and your dog's safety and happiness is always the number one priority! My aim is to have happy, healthy and tired-out pups at the end of every visit, whether that's through lots of playtime, a jog on the bike path or a route of your choice, or a nice long walk in the neighborhood or to the dog park.
Reviews
I needed a last minute drop in visit and Nika responded promptly and was able to help me out! She was on time and sent me a picture while there. I’ll definitely have her help again in the future!
Nika was great with our shy (and stubborn) girl! Thanks for helping us enjoy our vacation Nika. Highly recommend!!
Nika was wonderful, she left detailed notes about Trina and it sounds like they had a great time together ?
I was very relieved to know Fenway was being well taken care of, and had some company, while I was gone.

Information Nika E. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if there are any behavioral issues I should know about and pay special attention to, as well as if your dog has any allergies or reactive triggers. Also, I would like to know your dog's commands and signals, so that I can make your dog's safety and happiness the top priority!
A typical day
Long walks in your neighborhood, jogging and/or visiting local dog parks! Everything in your pup's stay is up to you - if there are certain areas your dog loves, I will be sure to take them there on their walks!
