Caring & Trustworthy Cat Sitter!

Cat care experience

whether it’s head boops, playtime, or giving your shy kitty space to warm up, i’ve got it covered! i’ve grown confident caring for cats of all personalities. from affectionate lap loungers to curious explorers. i always respect their boundaries and routines, while making sure they’re safe, fed, and loved while you’re away. you can count on daily updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands. 💛

Thank you so much for taking care of my kitty! This is the second time I've booked Nikisha for check-ins and my cat and I both continue to be impressed!

Great cat sitter took the time to try and get to know my cat even though he’s shy. Followed all my instructions and provided details updates with pictures!

Couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Nikisha is very professional and responsible. My cat unexpectedly got sick right before some important travel plans and Nikisha was able to accommodate changes in dates and care. I appreciated her detailed updates and initiative in adapting to my cat's changing needs while I was away.

Information Nikisha S. would like to know about your pet

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!

A typical day

As a dog owner myself, I love to treat all pets as if they were my own! A fun day with your fur baby would include a nice walk with lots of sniffing, tug-of-war, cuddles on the couch, and some training with treats!

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.
