Pet care experience

I have been cat sitting and caring for my family and friends' cats for over two decades. I was raised with dogs and cats and adore them both! I volunteer at a local cat rescue/lounge. Before that, I volunteered for several local cat/dog rescues. I also foster cats until they find they forever homes. Loving and taking care of cats and dogs, especially those in need, is my one true passion in life. *"BONUS: I make my own cat wands! I will gift one to your babies.

My dog Smiley adored Nikki! She is a great communicator, very accommodating with arranging appointments and loves animals. Smiley cried after she left after meeting her once!

Nikki was our best rover booking yet!!! She came over three times this week for lunchtime walks. She was super attentive and even gave us some recommendations on how to keep him entertained. Nikki is very knowledgeable and caring, especially with little puppies. Would highly recommend booking her.

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.
