Pet care experience

Lifelong Dog Lover & Feline Fav 💓

I have been dog sitting and walking for family and friends since 2018! As a lifelong dog owner, I understand that pets are more than just animals—they’re family. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large, and I prioritize their safety, health, and happiness with every walk and visit. While I’m most experienced with dogs, I have also done cat sitting for friends and am happy to provide care for feline companions as well. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for. You can trust me to follow any special instructions, maintain their routine, and treat them like my own!

nikisha was very responsive before visits & the meet and greet was a perfect opportunity to warm luna up to her. I loved that nikisha was very communicative & responsible during her visits. i also appreciated the videos and pictures of luna & informative reports she left.

This is the second time I've hired Nikisha while I was away for a trip and I would 1000% hire her again. My cat loves her and seems happy to see her when she comes by, and she checked on my elderly gecko as well, keeping her water clean and filled. Super thankful for her!

Nikisha was amazing with my cat and even checked in on my elderly leopard gecko, making sure she had clean water, while I was away for the weekend! My cat is super needy and gets so sad when I'm away for even a day, but she sent lots of cute photos of him and gave him lots of pets and attention, so I was able to feel at ease while I was away! Would give more than 5 stars if I could.

I do work full time (8am-6pm) as a physical therapist assistant and will be able to provide dog walking/drop-in visits afterwards on the weekdays. Weekends I have more availability to spend time with your furbabies! I also can provide non-overnight house sitting (hang out with your fur babies for the day/few hours etc). Please book with an available service and let me know in the message you’d like to book a daily house sitter.

Nikisha can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
The more I know about your pet, the better! I want them to be comfortable and happy as much as possible and I believe the best way is to know all their preferences, schedules, allergies, favorite toys & treats! I do require a meet and greet with you and your fur baby prior to the first sitting. This helps ensure I fully understand your care instructions and that your pet is comfortable with a familiar face when I arrive. Please allow at least 3–5 days before your scheduled booking to set up the meet and greet!
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.
