Safety, trust & environment

As you can tell from my reviews, I care for your pets as if they’re my own. Along with caring for them, I always make sure to tidy up before leaving your home (whether you book me for house sitting or check-ins). I live in an extremely safe, clean, and quiet neighborhood with lots of open field space for pups to run and play.

Information Nishat R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, special toys, triggers, medication they need to take, allergies, favorite food/snacks, favorite activities to do, etc.

A typical day

I live in area where there’s a huge field in the back. Your dogs will have a tons of fun going for a walk. I’m a very active person myself so your dog(s) won’t get bored!

Pet care experience

Hi I’m Nishat! I moved out to Maine shortly after graduating college. I’ve always loved being around animals and loved taking care of my friends pets. I currently have my own fur baby named Cruise (she’s a 7 year old Black Maine Coon). I can’t have more pets at the moment, but I definitely want to spend more time with animals.

I needed a cat sitter two weeks after moving across the country so I was obviously very worried and Nishat was absolutely perfect!! She was so responsive and kind at the meet and greet, I have a very shy kitty and she was so incredibly patient with her, by the end of the week both of my kitties loved her and I will definitely be booking with her again!!!

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.
