Dog skills

Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard on an acre of property (though I don’t offer boarding services). My dogs receive daily exercise and mental stimulation because they are both high energy breeds. I also train them using force free clicker based training

Information Nikita Z. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about any issues your dog may have. It doesn’t necessarily have to be health related. I’d like to know if they don’t like other dogs or if they lunge at cars or something.

A typical day

I tend to walk my dogs after breakfast (usually one at a time). I like to walk them in the park but there are also paths by my house. Then after lunch usually comes a play session and then around dinner time we go to the dog park.

I’ll gladly walk/check on your dog

Pet care experience

I’m currently in school to become a dog trainer and I can talk for days about dogs. I have a Belgian Malinois and a Yakutian Laika. I also had a small dog when I was growing up. I love pretty much every dog breed.

Nikita showed his skills as a dog handler from literally the moment he walked in, greeting the shy dog so skillfully that she happily went right up to him to say hi. He was great with rambunctious Duncan and my very energetic young puppy Holly, managing to keep them playing safely together until they were tired enough to give me a few hours of peace before they recharge their energy. I'll definitely book Nikita again!

Nikita has been walking my dog, Andy, for several months, and I couldn’t be more grateful. He lives nearby and is always incredibly reliable, often accommodating my last-minute requests. I fully trust him to come into my home, greet Andy, and lock up securely. His communication is excellent, and he genuinely cares for my pup. I have a very small circle of people I trust with Andy, and I’m so thankful Gita is one of them. Highly recommend!

Nikita always does his best to fit us in when we need a last minute walk. He's kind and my dog loves him.

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.
