Pet care experience

Adventure Walks & Cozy Visits 🌿

Caring for my own elderly, reactive dog has given me years of hands-on experience with patience, training, and understanding different canine personalities. Because of this, I’m especially attentive to dogs who may be anxious, sensitive, or need a little extra time to warm up. I’m very comfortable reading dog body language, reinforcing positive behaviors, and making sure each dog feels safe and supported while in my care. I also love staying active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks, exploring new trails, and finding fun outdoor adventures that match each dog’s energy level. Whether your pup prefers a relaxing stroll or a longer hike, I’m happy to tailor the experience to what they enjoy most.

Safety, trust & environment

I can provide comprehensive care in your home or during walks. I have experience handling feeding, playtime, training and walks, and I can also assist with bathing, transportation to vet appointments, or any additional tasks that help keep your pet comfortable and well cared for! My ultimate goal is to provide attentive care and all the love tailored to your furry friend's individual needs, whether that means energetic outdoor adventures or calm companionship at home.

I LOVED having Nikita walk our dog, Goose. She is one of my closest friends, and she was so responsible and lovely to set up dog walks with. Goose absolutely loves her and he gets so excited that he pees when she walks through the door. I can't recommend this bundle of joy enough.

Whenever I needed help with my dog, I knew I could count on Nikita. She is incredibly responsible with my best friend: long walks, extra attention, and a reliable schedule were never an issue. My dog always felt safe and well cared for, and I appreciated the updates she sent during the day!

I trusted Nikita to watch my two dogs, and she was so amazing!!! She made sure my dogs got plenty of exercise with long walks and an exciting game of fetch. It’s obvious they treat every pet like family, and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to watch or walk my dog again

Nikita is one of the most responsible and compassionate people I know. She has a natural way with animals that makes them feel immediately at ease, and I would trust her implicitly with any pet. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals make her the perfect fit for a caregiver role on Rover

Schedule

I work part-time and remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pet throughout the day. I can provide walks, check-ins, feeding, and playtime as needed, and I’m happy to accommodate early mornings or evenings (early bird and night owl here!). Because I work from home, I’m able to offer consistent attention and companionship so your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.

It’s helpful for me to know about your dog’s personality, routine, and any special needs so I can provide the best possible care. Please let me know if your dog has any medical conditions, dietary restrictions, or behavioral considerations (such as reactivity, anxiety, or preferences around other dogs and strangers). I also appreciate information about their energy level, favorite activities, and any training cues you use so I can maintain consistency.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
