Happy to help

I've been a dog walker and cat sitter for almost five years. I can give medication by mouth and change diapers for sick dogs. I know how to use prong collars. I always enjoy spending time with your pets and can provide pictures throughout the entire time I'm with them. I'm always looking out for the safety of all of the pets in my care. I'm always looking for ways to keep the animals happy and maintaining a good relationship with them.

Safety, trust & environment

While I'm house-sitting I always make sure that doors are locked while I'm inside and that dogs are leashed before I open the door for walks. with cats I will always make sure I see them before I start the booking. With dogs I will always keep my eye on them while they are playing with chew toys or playing with other pets in the home.

Nika did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away and she gave us so much peace of mind. She was very knowledgeable about cat care and sent us regular photo updates. Would definitely recommend her services to anyone needing a cat sitter!

Nika was a great sitter. She is very communicative, and I could tell she did a perfect job looking after my dog. I would recommend her to other pet owners.

Nika was absolutely fantastic, very communicative and clearly my kitten was well cared for and followed her feeding schedule very specifically! My kitten was clearly playing and feeling happy which is amazing and all I could ask for!

Let me know if there are any special needs that your pet has and I will accommodate to the best of my ability. This could be in person ahead of time or on the app. I can also let you know in real time of updates if requested.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
