Loving care and cuddles for pets 🐾

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Nika🤎 With love, I’ve already cared for over 160 happy paws (that’s more than 40 pups!) here on Rover. I truly enjoy creating a warm and loving home for each furry guest! I’ve cared for: anxious pups🫂 senior dogs 🐕 blind and deaf dogs🐾 and very active, playful ones🎾 I also have experience giving medications and making sure every pet gets the special care they need💊 I work from home, so your pet will get lots of attention, walks, cuddles, and playtime. I love staying in touch with updates, photos, and videos, so you always know how your little one is doing🧸 I’m still learning English (my husband helps me communicate during meet & greets), but I always follow care instructions with love and attention. Your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and loved with me — just like family🤎

Nika has been such an awesome sitter! My dog Louis enjoys spending time with her and always comes home very happy. I have left Louis with Nika for long vacations and have had no issues as Nika consistently sends updates and is very communicative. I highly recommend Nika for all dog sitting needs.

Nika is like family to us. She treats Enzo with so much love and affection ❤️ He loves staying with her. Nika takes him on walks frequently and gives Enzo belly rubs, which he loves 💕 We left Enzo with her for almost 3 weeks with no issues. Enzo looked happy and clean when we picked him up. We feel secure leaving Enzo with her during our vacations.

This is Mylo’s 2nd time staying with Nika and everything went great once again! Nika kept us updated with photos and videos and followed our care instructions with great details. Mylo seemed to be really happy and very well taken care of, he even went back to say bye to Nika and asked for one last pet when I picked him up.
