Safety, trust & environment

I would like to set up a meet and greet so we can get properly acquainted and I can learn your and your pets' requirements. I will be very respectful of all your house and building rules when it comes to caring for your pet. If you need me to water plants or bring small packages up, I can do that as well as part of the drop in visit. We have a cat at home and are fully equipped for visits from cats. I have also cared for dogs in my home and our cat gets along with them. Should your pet need it, we have a 2nd bedroom that has plenty of room for them to enjoy their privacy. We can make them a special safe area until they feel comfortable to explore the entire house.

A typical day

I love engaging pets in play, be it cats or dogs and as long as they're willing! I enjoy walks by the water front and visiting dog parks. If your dog has any places they love, I'd love to take them there.

Cat Whisperer

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Nikhita and I'd love to meet your furbaby! I have been taking care of my friends' pets for the last 10 years and would like to be friends with more cats and dogs. My husband and I have a cat, Tuxtables, and he brings us great joy; so I understand the special place our pets hold in our heart and will watch your pet like they're my own. I am very good at engaging with cats and dogs (even shy ones!) and getting them to play with me. I have experience in giving cats and dogs supplements and pill medication as well. I also have experience with rabbits, hamsters, fish and turtles so you make contact me for caring for them as well.

Amazing! Our cat was happier with her than at home it seemed 😅

It was such a pleasure to work with Nikhita! I went on a two week international trip and I was truly only able to enjoy my vacation because I knew my cat was in safe hands. Nikhita gave daily updates and photos, it was great to see!

Nikhita cared for our cat for two weeks over Christmas, and we couldn’t be happier with the level of care she provided. She sent us daily check‑ins with updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She reached out with any questions or concerns, and it was clear our cat was being closely and lovingly looked after. Drop‑off and pick‑up were effortless, and our boy came home pampered and somehow more rested from his vacation than we were from ours. We truly couldn’t recommend Nikhita more.
