I'm DOGgone good!

Pet care experience

I am currently a senior in college, and my classes have now transitioned to online, which allows for more time and flexibility to work. I currently have an eight-year-old tabby cat, and a five year old German shepherd, but I have grown up around all kinds of animals. I have worked with large dogs, small dogs and even a dog going through therapy after a spinal injury. Since I've been surrounded by cats and dogs my whole life, taking care of animals is something I am passionate about. Working and playing with animals is something I love to do. Going on walks and playing with dogs brings me joy and happiness. I plan on sharing my love for the outdoors with all Rover dogs.

Nikki stopped in to check on and feed our cats for a week while we were away. She was fantastic and the cats seemed to love her. We’ll be rehiring her in the future and recommend her to anyone reading this.

Being new to Tucson, this was the first time we have hired a pet sitter when we went out of town. In our previous location, our neighbors and we had a reciprocal arrangement whereby we looked after each other's homes and pets when one family went away. But this was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Nikki worked out wonderfully! She did a terrific job taking care of our senior cat, giving her not only food and water and taking care of the liter box, but giving her lots of affection and attention, which our cat especially loves. Nikki is a very trustworthy and reliable person, and is an excellent communicator as well. Very responsive and prompt, and friendly as well. As the need arises in the future, we would re-book with Nikki without hesitation.

Nikki is fantastic! I traveled to the area for a workshop and needed someone to give my dog a break/walk during the day while I was away. She was prompt, friendly, and my dog loved her. She eased a somewhat stressful situation which allowed me to fully enjoy the workshop. I would highly recommend her. Thanks, Nikki!

Nikki was wonderful with my two kitties! We had just moved into our new home a few days earlier, and my cats were already a little spooked. Then I had to leave for a few days to finalize my furniture move. Lots of curve balls were thrown at Nikki and she absolutely rose to the challenge seamlessly. Highly recommend her!
