Fur-baby loving med student

Pet care experience

I've been pet sitting for over 10 years, and love animals. I started out dog walking as a teenager, and then moved on to pet sitting. During the pandemic, my parents got an adorable german shepherd, who I trained myself. Now that I'm in medical school across the country, I don't get to see him that often, so I'd love to shower your pets with the same affection and attention that I miss giving my dog.

Needed a last minute house sitter for the day and Nikita was awesome! Incredibly patient with our anxious guy and couldn't believe how detailed she was about everything. Thank you Nikita!

Nikita was great with my dogs. She was super communicative and provided regular updates. The dogs seemed really happy to have her watch them. I highly recommend!!

Nikita was great!! You can really tell she loves animals and treated my little fur baby like her own. I loved the daily updates she gave. I will definitely be using her again :)

Safety, trust & environment

I have years of pet care experience, and as a medical student, know the importance of sticking to the schedule needed for pets. I formerly grew up with and have trained german shepherds so I also understand the need for a good walk and exercise as well as play time to stimulate them.

Information Nikita G. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know your dog's demeanor, allergies, if they have a favorite activity or toy. If there are any "don't allows" that would be good to know as well.

A typical day

I love walking around green spaces, and so do most dogs. It's good for them to give them time to sniff and explore while out on walks. I also think playtime with toys with activities like fetch is a great stimulant and way to get their energy out.
