Flexible Manhattan pet lover 🐾

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm a tech consultant & music creative working from home in Midtown Manhattan. I have over 10 years of experience in dog walking & drop-in pet care (cats and dogs) as well as a flexible schedule, and I'm excited to get to know your furry friend! I have a lifelong love for animals and will ensure your pet will get all the special attention, affection, exercise, and care they need during our time together. I'm comfortable walking dogs of most sizes and needs, and will prioritize your pet's safety and comfort during our time together. I'll also definitely send you some silly pics of your pet when we're together! I look forward to hearing from you!

Our usual dog Walker was out of town and Nikila stepped in and did a great job!

Nikita was responsive and easy to work with, and took great care of Appa! Would definitely recommend her

Safety, trust & environment

Open communication and transparency between you and me is critical: please let me know about any requests or instructions you may have, and any specific preferences or no-gos for your pet; the most important thing to me is that you and your pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I currently don't have any pets (downfalls of living in a small NYC studio), so your pet will get all of my quality time!

Information Nikila D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any requests or instructions you may have, and any specific preferences or no-gos for your pet; the most important thing to me is that you and your pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I currently don't have any pets of my own (the downfall of living in a small NYC studio), so your pet will get all of my quality time!

A typical day

I match the energy of your pet! If you have a high-energy dog, expect lots of (safe, monitored) walks and exploring around the city, but I'm also down to just chill with cool cats & dogs too and keep them company. Just let me know you and your pet's preferences!

I have a flexible work-from-home schedule (usually free from 11am to 8pm) and don't mind traveling around the city to walk or care for your pet. If we're in my neighborhood, I'm just a block away from Central Park, which your dog will love! I keep my Rover calendar up-to-date; I am generally available afternoons, evenings, and/or weekends during the day for walking and pet care.
