Information Nilka M. would like to know about your pet
Before boarding, I love learning about your dog’s routine and personality so I can make their stay as smooth and comfortable as possible. What does a typical day look like for them — feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, and bedtime? How would you describe their temperament? Do they have any anxiety, triggers, or special quirks I should know about? Please let me know about medications, allergies, dietary restrictions, or anything health-related. I also like to have your vet’s information just in case. You’re welcome to bring their bed, crate, or favorite toy to help them feel at home. And let me know how often you’d like updates. I’m always happy to send photos and check-ins!
A typical day
A typical day with me is pretty simple—lots of love, attention, and fresh air. We start the morning with a potty break and usually a nice walk to get some energy out. I love being outside, so walks and yard time happen often (my fenced-in yard is perfect for safe play). During the day there’s playtime, belly rubs, and plenty of check-ins so your pup never feels alone. I stick to their usual feeding schedule and can handle medications if needed. In the evening, we wind down with another walk and some cozy cuddle time so they feel right at home.

Reviews
Nilka was amazing!! We will definitely book again! She and her family treated Otto like their own dog and made us feel so at ease while we were away. If you're looking for a rover, Nilka is the best!
Nilka is everything you hope for when you go on Rover looking for pet care. She treats my dog like her own. Her husband and two kids are also great. They all spoil my dog with love and attention. Nilka is so diligent with walks and photos and communication too. Top recommendation for Nilka and her family. Thank you very much!
Nilka is a treasure. She is extremely loving to animals, showers them with attention and walks and very communicative, sending photos and updates. Boarding with Nilka is a vacation for your pooch. Highly recommended! I will use her every time she's available.
My senior (15 year old) dog Sadie and I had a great experience with Nilka while I was traveling in Italy. Nilka is warm and friendly and she and her family obviously love dogs, including their own dog Sunny. They made Sadie feel very comfortable. Sadie has Cushing's disease and Nilka handled it like a pro. She gave Sadie plenty of age appropriate exercise, either on short walks or in the backyard, and administered her medication on schedule. I got regular updates with photos and videos, and I could tell my girl was in good hands, which helped me relax and enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend her and would definitely leave Sadie with her again.
