Pet care experience

Will love your dog as my own!

Hey, my name is Nikkita. I am a wife, mom (of 3) and doula, who has an affinity for dogs! Growing up I always had a dog in the family, and we recently added one to our family. I've been dog sitting professionally for the last 4 years and it has been a joy. I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood and know where a few great dog parks are, where we can walk around a beautiful trail and/or they can run and play. There is an inexplicable joy that dogs have when they know their family and/or care taker genuinely loves them, and it is my goal to love and care for your dog as if it were my own. I look forward to getting to know you and your beloved pet. I have almost an acre of fenced yard to run around in, a designated spot in my house for all their stuff, so while they're here they can feel comfortable. NOTE: Your dog MUST be fully potty (meaning they will notify me that they need to go out and will NOT potty in the house) and crate trained (has a crate and will go to bed in it without crying or barking for hours.) Please bring your pet's items (food, leash, crate, fav toy, etc) so I can properly care for them, as I have nothing but love to offer them. 🥰

Nikita provided a safe and warm environment for Sasha to stay. She was thorough in keeping me updated and sending pictures.

Nikkita was very kind to take my dog last minute due to a family emergency. I just moved to the area and didn’t know a sitter. I used Rover in the past and was pleased with the service and sitter so I thought I would try it again here. The atmosphere of Nikkita’s home seemed good and calm for Pumpkin who deals with a lot of anxiety. There was a wonderful large, fenced backyard for Pumpkin to potty and roam around. Nikkita also sent pictures regularly and kept me informed. Thank you Nikkita and family!

Nikkita was perfect. We needed a walker same day with very little notice and she came through to walk our boy. She was very sweet and communicated everything with us. We would definitely use her again.

Easy to coordinate with Nikkita & my toy poodle has a good time during the holiday week. Received pictures & updates, thanks for opening your services during the holiday period & having Killian as a guest.

This is Sphinx 2nd time staying with Nikkita and he ran in the house as if it was home. Communication was excellent during his stay and she was able to accommodate dropping him off at the last minute since we were unable to pick him up. Our previous sitter moved from the area so we are grateful to have found her and our dog seems to love his stays!

We are so grateful for the wonderful care Nikkita provided for our dog, Pepe. She was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure Pepe was comfortable and happy during his stay. She was also very flexible with our pick-up and drop-off times, which made things so much easier for us. We loved receiving regular updates and pictures, which helped us feel connected and at ease. It’s clear she truly cares about her furry guests, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!
