Pet care experience

Love and care while you’re away

🐾 Pet Care Experience: I’ve always been surrounded by animals and have had cats my entire life. I’m very familiar with their needs, behavior, and routines. I also have experience caring for dogs — feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel loved and safe. Whether it’s a cuddle session with a cat or an energetic walk with a dog, I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they’re happy and healthy. ⸻ ⭐ What sets me apart from other sitters: I treat every pet like family. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry friend, especially when you’re away. I’m calm, patient, and attentive to details — whether it’s administering medication, following a special diet, or just giving extra love to a senior pet. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and cared for every step of the way.

Always dependable with my cat. I'm sure Kitty Bear is looking forward to her next visit.

Nikita did a wonderful job! We needed a last second dog sitter for a holiday and he came in clutch. Was everyone responsive and took great care of our pup with photos. 10/10 would recommend!

We’re grateful for finding Nikita while in LA. He was able to accommodate our request last minute. It was Enola’s first Rover stay, and we could feel she was super happy. Nikita sent lovely pictures and did walks with her. Thanks so much for taking such a good care of our princess!

We came into L.A. for a specific event and met Nikita through Rover. Nikita had excellent communication, making sure it was easy for us to drop off our 2 dogs for a 3 night stay with him. He had never met the dogs before but showed confidence in his ability to care for them. He sent updates of their regular walks, pictures, and videos. Nikita was available, helpful, kind, flexible and treated our dogs as his own. We would 100% recommend Nikita for boarding services, walks, house sitting, etc. We wish Nikita the very best of luck in his endeavors and wish health and happiness for him, his family and all his future clients. He is a very nice young man.

Nikita took very good care of my cat while I went in vacay for 18 days. He was very responsive and I would use him again.

Schedule

I spend most of my time at home, so your pet won’t be left alone or bored. I’m available to provide regular care, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or just some cuddles on the couch, your pet will always have company and attention.

Safety, trust & environment

I create a safe and calm environment for every pet, whether in my home or at the client’s place. I follow all instructions carefully — from feeding schedules to medication and exercise routines. I make sure pets have plenty of fresh water, comfortable resting spots, and engaging toys to keep them happy and relaxed. I understand how important trust is, so I treat every pet with patience and respect, always prioritizing their well-being and safety.
