Pet care experience

I can run and hike with your dog!

I love dogs and cats. I used to dogsit for my professors and staff while in college. Now that I am much older, I have a dog and three cats - all rescues. Don’t worry - your dogs and/or cats wouldn’t get to interact with them while I am pet sitting for you. I volunteer for various pet organizations. I foster dogs and participate in volunteer transports. I have saved many stray dogs and cats off the streets. I am a huge animal lover. I love running and walking so if your dog needs some exercise, I can definitely help you out! I will make sure they are safe in the process. I can stay at your place overnight if you need me to or check in during the day. During the week, I can come before work in the morning, lunch time, and after work in the evenings. On weekends, I am free all day! I prefer pet-sitting at your place but can board smaller dogs that get along with cats. I can also potentially board your cat - would be completely separated from my dog and cats. Please reach out and we can figure out if this is something that can work for you and your pet(s). Thank you for checking out my profile and considering me to take care of your pet family!

Nikki was so great with our dog. They sent photos and updates every day and I could tell my dog was in excellent and caring hands.

Nikki has been go-to sitter for the past year. If you're thinking about asking her to take care of your dog or cat, just do it! She takes care of my cats so well and is super dependable.

Nikki is thoughtful, trustworthy, and so warm! My cat just loves when she visits and I love that I have someone I trust looking after my favorite child.

Safety, trust & environment

I am flexible and can accommodate your pets’ needs. Don’t hesitate to ask. I will treat your pets and home with utmost respect. I know what it feels like to need a trustworthy pet sitter. This is the reason why I joined Rover - to help other pet owners when they travel and don’t charge them an arm and leg.

Pets

A typical day

I love to play with dogs outside. I am very outdoorsy person so I can take our dog on a walk/hike or run. When inside, I am happy to give your pet lots of attention too - including playing with toys or just lots of petting or brushing.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Nikki can host up to 2 pets per night
Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs. I am very flexible and super accommodating. I can handle any type of dog or cat. I am able to give pills or injections. I have experience with pets with diabetes.
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.
