Best dog walker around ;)
Pet care experience
About Me: My name is Niki and I am back on the dog walking scene! I did Rover work for about a year while living in Cleveland, and my current life situation is pushing me back in this direction. I now live near the botanical gardens in STL, and do delivery work for Uber, DoorDash, and InstaCart. I also tutor and coach kids rock climbing. I enjoy all of the work I do, and love the control and flexibility it allows me to have in my life. However, I miss working with animals, and where I live now allows me to get back to it! When working for Rover, I developed some amazing relationships with my clients (both 2 and 4 legged). I believe my reviews can speak for themselves. I hope to find that same bond, care, and compassion here. What to Expect: I devote all of my time and energy to drop-ins and walks. Each of these services are 30 minutes long and that time will be spent however you need it to be! We would begin by doing a free meet and greet, where I come to meet you and your pet and we can discuss what you need. After that, we will book your service and go from there! After each service is over, I send you a detailed summary of the visit and pictures of your fur baby. Like I mentioned, I take a lot of pride in this work I do. After all, you are trusting me in your home and with your pet. You can expect the absolute best care and communication from me. About my Rates: I charge $17 per walk with an additional $10 for any extra pets. For example, if you have two dogs, your rate would be $27 for the walk. I am happy to discuss this further with you if there are any questions or concerns. I also am willing to work with you if you're looking for weekly/multiple times a week. Shoot me a message, lets set up the meet and greet, and discuss! :) *Disclaimer* When I transitioned out of Rover, some of my profile numbers were affected. (response rate, etc.) I ensure you I will always respond in a timely manner, and as I get back up and running, those numbers should change.
Reviews
Niki was amazing. She took pictures as well as updated me on how my dog was throughout their stay. She even allowed me to throw a curveball at her by adding on a four-month-old puppy for some of the walks too. She was very accommodating to my time request and was able to help me more than I could ever imagine. She has such a positive and happy attitude and I couldn’t imagine anyone else walking my dog. He was very happy and tired after their walk. She put my mind at ease knowing that my dogs were in good hands during their walks.
Niki is the best dog sitter around!! She so sweet to my pup and always sends the best updates. 100% would recommend her to anyone!
Niki is awesome! Spent extra time with our pup walking her
Nikki is always so amazing with my pup, Willy! She gives the best updates after walks and drop ins, always including pictures. I’ve had serval instances where I had to ask Niki to either stop by earlier than the planned time or other favors and she never says no, and always goes above and beyond for us.I truly think she’s the best rover dog walker around, I 100% recommend her to anyone with any type of dog, she’s great!!

Skills
Information Niki Z. would like to know about your pet
Every animal has their quirks, so please tell me anything you think I should know about your pet. If I am walking your pet, it is extremely important for me to know how they react to other people and animals.
A typical day
When taking care of your pet, I will do my best to spend the 30 minutes with them doing whatever you need from me. In the past this has included: feeding, refilling water, playing with toys, treats, walks, bathing, cuddling, giving medication, brushing, etc. Also, things happen. I have had multiple experiences now where myself or pets have been in situations where the owner needs to be contacted. Getting locked out, accidents in the house, and major messes are a few examples. I can ensure you no matter what happens you will be aware of everything and I always want to hear feedback! Building relationships with my clients has been such an enjoyable part of this job, and I will always do my best to communicate with you.
