Nikolaj did a great job house sitting and taking care of our three cars and Aussie. Very responsive, got along great with the little ones, and took care of the house. Happy to use him again for our bigger trip in the fall.

If we could leave a higher review we would - Nikolaj has house sat for us twice. Each time he was stellar with communication and pet sitting. What’s even more impressive is that our oldest dog, doesn’t give kisses to just anyone -the exception being Nikolaj, which means he has the “seal” of approval. Our house is always well looked after and we are confident in Nikolaj ability to watch our dogs!

Nikolaj is definitely one of our favorite sitters- he took great care of our pets while we were away, sending lots of pictures during his stay! Our pets warmed up to him instantly and we knew we were leaving them in great hands. He also was an amazing house guest- left the place as clean as we left it and even stripped the bed to make laundry easy for us. 10/10 would absolutely book again!

Nikolaj took excellent care of my senior bichon mix, boarding him over a weekend while I was traveling. My older dog can get anxious but Nikolaj handled it perfectly and my dog was so happy in all the photos he sent. I 100% recommend him, as he is extremely responsive and professional.

Nikolaj is awesome! He took great care of our home and our pup, Ralphie, over a weekend. Ralphie is a senior pup who requires some extra support— and Nikolaj did an awesome job caring for our little guy. Our house was also in great shape— I think it was cleaner after Nikolaj’s visit than when he showed up! 😂 thanks, Nikolaj!!!

Safety, trust & environment

I offer a fun and engaging pet care experience in my home or my client's home, providing ample playtime with toys, outdoor adventures, and positive reinforcement training with treats.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dog physically and mentally. We'll have lots of fun with toys and treat work. Will take them on 3 walks a day to get all the new smells in the neighborhood! Most importantly they will get lots of love and attention.

I like to know whether they are good with other dogs, and if they have any type of reactivity to be aware of. Do they have any food allergies? Any "unusual" behaviors are helpful to be aware of as well (such as lunging after cars when on a walk, etc.)
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.
