Pet care experience

Treats your fur baby like her own!

Hi there! I am so excited to finally be making my pet-sitting official with Rover. I am still new-ish to the area after having moved back in with my parents a little less than a year ago (originally from New Jersey, then moved to California for college and work). I have had the pleasure of taking care of my family dog (Winnie the Cavapoo) since we got her 9 years ago. Hanging out with her is one of my favorite things to do, and she truly makes each day better with every walk we go on and every cuddle we share. I've also gotten to dog-sit for some of my best friends and locals while I was in college, and it really helped me whenever I was missing my Winnie girl! My only hope is to provide you with peace of mind that your pup is in good hands with me!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

If you need me to come over and pet-sit at your home, I will respect all the rules you provide me with so you are comfortable with having me in your home while I watch your fur baby. Please let me know in advance to your booking if your pet is allowed on furniture, or in certain areas of your home, and what/where are absolute no-go's, so I can remember to keep them away from those areas. If you use a crate with them, please let me know how you use it with them - if they must be crated the entirety of time while indoors aside from meal and potty times, or if for certain periods of time. If you have a backyard that is fenced and secure, I am comfortable with letting them of their leash (if you permit it) so they have free reign to run around, but if it is not an enclosed space, I am not comfortable letting them off their leash, even if they are trained perfectly - just want to be safe and take all the precautions I can to make sure they are safe while with me!

Niki did a wonderful job giving company to MoMo. And giving me timely updates. Also she accommodated my last minute request to start early.

Nikitha is a great pet sitter. My dog was comfortable around her and looked like she had a great time. She sent photos as often as we requested. I would hundred percent recommend her to all my friends. Knowing my dog was safe and playful with her gave me a sense of relief especially since she is a bit of an anxious dog.

Schedule

My schedule is pretty wide open and flexible! If there is a time/day on my schedule that looks unavailable, message me and I'll see if I can move things around to make it work (as I share a car with a family member).

Please let me know what your pet’s typical schedule and routine is, including the amount of times they get fed and walked. Also please let me know if there’s anything particular about their behavior or needs when they are separated from you and left in the company of a new person, so I can ensure to approach them in a way that makes them feel comfortable.
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.
