Pet care experience

Quality care, safety, enrichment!

I have been sitting through Rover since 2018. I have taken care of all kinds of breeds and dogs with different needs. I have experience in caring for leash aggressive dogs and dogs who are aggressive to other dogs/animals. I have experience in senior dog care and taking the extra steps to ensure their comfortability. I can also administer medication. Additionally, I am able to provide around the clock care for your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to care for your pet in your home as to not cause any unnecessary stress related to moving your pet to an unknown space. It’s also easier for me to stick to your pet’s daily routine when they are comfortable and feel safe. Your pet’s safety is my biggest priority.

Nikki is a great young lady that treated Ollie like he was one of her own. She made the process of leaving not only my dog but my home in her capable hands and she is already booked for a couple more weekends.

House Sitting • Apr 10, 2026

Nikki stayed at my house and took care of my three cats and one dog. She sent periodic update pictures of the pets. She played with my dog daily and walked my dog every few days. She did not keep my pets on their regular schedule due to her other job. She feed my dog ~4 hours late one time. Communication could have cleared up the issue. We agreed to her partner helping out when needed but she extended that to her partner sleeping over. Also her partner vaped in my house. She felt my home as it was when we left.

Our two high-energy pitties absolutely loved their weekly Nikki visits! Nikki is a conscientious, caring, flexible, and communicative pet-sitter. You can't go wrong hiring her, and your pets will love you for it!

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or care that I need to account for. I am able to care for dogs that are more aggressive than others, and I have practiced a two-exit strategy when an aggressive dog is in a multi-dog home.
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.
