Pet care experience

Ensuring your pets safety/happiness

My name is Niko Farrell. I started my pet care journey with the privilege of taking care of two huskies and two cats in my home at the same time for more than 10 years. My friends & family have relied on me to watch their pets often as well. I've always loved animals and pets, and it's a blessing that my pet care experience has progressed to the point of being an animal sitter on rover; and for several years now! I’ve helped, interacted, and taken good care of multiple breeds/types & styles of dogs, cats, and other animals all over the pet spectrum, so there isn’t a single type of companion I wouldn’t fancy taking care of. Throughout my pet care services and activities, I’ve grown quite adept in providing purposeful leashed walks/jogs, joyful playtimes, caring cuddles and affection, well-timed feedings, precise light grooming, and overall positively progressive caretaking. I’ll be a great option when it comes to pampering your pets needs to my maximum ability! I've always been very respectable with pets and give them all the space they need if any signs of irritation occur. I’m keen on making sure a pet won’t go into areas their not supposed to or get into things that might be harmful to them. Overall, I love giving an abundance of attention and affection while ensuring a pet feels safe, protected, happy, healthy, comfortable, and most importantly; loved. Your pet will 100% be in great hands with me around. :)

Safety, trust & environment

I’ll do everything in my knowledge to guarantee that your pet is safe and comfortable while i’m around. I’ll always provide space to your pet if needed, but I love giving a surplus of attention to the furbabies while helping get out their playful energy.

Niko is always great with communication- I had a last minute change to the dates and he replied back almost immediately which was a huge relief! The cats look very happy in photos

Niko was awesome and very communicative during the entire time! I received tons of photos each day and it was great having someone who clearly cares so deeply for animals to watch my cats while I away. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again! Thank you again

House Sitting • May 25, 2026

I don't know how to rate Niko. He is very nice and polite and was very good with communication about our puppy, sending us many photos. However, he failed to ask us if he could have an overnight guest, which it appears he did have. He never mentioned it before, during, or after his guest arrived and left. Further, one of our sofas in the family room is ruined. I assume he let our puppy bite it, pull on it, and tear it. If not, somehow, Niko caused the damage. When we arrived home, he met us at the door with our puppy, gave us the keys, and left. He failed to tell us about the damaged sofa. I will explore with Rover as to compensation for the damage to the sofa.

Niko was a lovely pet sitter for our two cats! He was great at feeding them, playing with them, and giving them company for the 2 weeks we were gone. Would love to leave our cats under his care again!

Schedule

My schedule is very flexible. I will be dedicated to putting in time to make sure your pets feeling it’s happiest and healthiest. I do drop in visits for dogs and cats, dog walking. If you ever need me to take your pet off your hands for a few hours, overnight, or even a few days to weeks; we can definitely work something out. I’m simply a message away.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Niko can host up to 10 drop-ins per day
Please advise any special needs or behaviors of your pet before their in my care, but theirs not much I can’t handle when it comes to taking care of your pet.
