Cuddly dog auntie in Oakland

Pet care experience

I have always loved dogs, but was not able to have any pets growing up. I discovered Rover through my previous roommate, who also dog sits through the app. I had so much fun playing second dog auntie to the lovable pups that came into our home and it inspired me to sign up as a dog sitter myself! I have been dog sitting for over 2 years now and have developed trusting relationships with repeat clients. I am a sensitive, attentive and empathetic caregiver and will always do my best to be attuned to your dog's needs.

Nikita took good care of our small dog over a long weekend. She was very responsive and even accommodated a last-minute change I requested. I appreciate her help!

Gia was excited to go and stay with Nikita which is unusual as she is very attached. Nikita took good care of her and I would definitely leave Gia with Nikita again!

Nikita was patient and kind with my super anxious dog! She was communicative and kept me informed, and very understanding. Highly recommend her.

Thank you, Nikita for watching my Banks! You took such amazing care of her. I loved all the cute photos and fun walks you guys went on! She was always so comfortable with you and loved all the cuddles with her. She was always running to your front door excited to see you! Thank you for caring for her like your own.

Information Nikita S. would like to know about your pet

What I’d like to know about your dog: - Energy level, special needs, comfort being around other dogs (e.g. in regular or dog parks), commands (sit, stay, come), favorite activities/snacks/games, food habits - Feelings towards people, kids, other dogs, cats, etc. - Do they have any triggers/fears? - Any escape history/tendencies How can I care for your furry friend to best suit their needs and yours? Just reach out!

A typical day

I live in Adams Point on a fairly residential street. We are very close to Lake Merritt which is perfect for longer walks. I will also occasionally take them out hiking, or to dog-friendly restaurants, bars and cafes!
