Ensuring your pets safety/happiness

Pet care experience

I’ve been privileged with taking care of two huskies and two cats in my home at the same time for more than 10 years. My friends have relied on me to watch their dogs on vacation as well. After being on rover for several years now, I’ve helped and interacted with multiple breeds, so there isn’t a single type of dog/cat I wouldn’t fancy taking care of. These activities have aided me in providing purposeful leashed walks/jogs, fun playtimes, pets and affection, daily feedings, caretaking and light grooming. I’ll always have time to spend on pampering your pets needs to my maximum ability! I’m very respectable with pets and give them space if any signs of irritation occurs. I’m keen on making sure a pet won’t go into areas it’s not supposed to or get into things that might be bad for them. On the contrary I love giving an abundance of attention and ensuring a pet feels safe, protected, happy, loved, and comfortable with me around.

Niko was great with our pup, Mac. He’s kind, patient, trustworthy, and got Mac some great exercise on his walk. I highly recommend Niko to anybody looking for excellent pet care.

Niko is awesome, definitely made sure my kitty was comfortable and taken care of. I had some bad experiences with sitters and am glad to find someone dependable!

Absolutely fantastic — very thorough and incredibly good with pets (even my very shy cat warmed up to Niko pretty quickly). Definitely going to be my first choice in the future!

Information Niko F. would like to know about your pet

Please advise any special needs or behaviors of your pet before their in my care. There’s not much I can’t handle when it comes to taking care of your pet.

A typical day

There’s very few things I enjoy more than making sure pets are happy, entertained, and comfortable. I’ll make sure to bring dogs to all the interesting smells they like while keeping them away from items they shouldn’t be around. I’ll take them on jogs, to parks, and i’ll make sure they’re able to fulfill their doggy desires to their fullest. I love playing with cats using toys or even my hands. From lasers to strings and mouses I really enjoy spending quality playtime with any type of kitty while also respecting their space.

I’m currently a student at UIC, but 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, and if you ever need me to take your pet off your hands for a few hours we can work something out. I’m a message away.
