Safety, trust & environment

I love spending time with animals in their comfort zone! Coming over to care for them during a potentially stressful time is important to me. Visits are always tailored to your pet's safety and needs. My Drop-in visits last at least 30 minutes, because, snuggles.

Niki was awesome! She kept me updated the entire time she was watching my dogs :) They were having a great time hanging out with her and playing. Happy to have her booked for two more upcoming trips. Thank you Niki!

Niki was great with our dogs, we will happily use her again. She is detail-oriented and paid close attention to our dogs’ needs, including with one who is recovering from a procedure and needed special care.

Niki is Amazing! We have three Dogs and a Cat that she took care of while we were on vacation. She stayed in our home and kept them happy, and was able to calm their separation anxiety almost immediately. She is a natural animal lover, and a great companion for them. The kind of person that a dog recognizes right away as a kind and gentle person. She provided great communication and pictures daily, and took very good care of everyone, as well as the house. We'll be looking to book Niki every time we leave our fur babies alone, from now on.

Please let me know if you have a puppy or an aggressive dog. I charge a little more for puppies due to the lack of training. If you have an aggressive pet, just let me know & we can skip some questions. I would also like to know if you have a senior and/or special needs pet because I have a soft spot in my heart for them. I have experience with puppies, seniors, aggressive, etc. and understand what is required in order to guarantee safety. Please provide vet information, emergency contact, care instructions, routine schedule and any allergies or bad habits. Vaccinations required. Flea and tick medication advised.
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.
