Availability

Pet care is a big part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care so they receive the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, administering medications if needed, or simply spending quality time together, I make sure each pet’s individual needs and routine are followed. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn their preferences, personalities, and habits. Throughout the week, I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages, giving them peace of mind while they’re away. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s a responsibility I take seriously and a part of my everyday life that I truly love.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for your pet in your home, my focus is entirely on maintaining their established routine. This setting is usually best for pets who thrive in their familiar environment. Routine Adherence: I follow your specific schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and potty breaks precisely. Comfort and Security: Your pet has access to their favorite beds, toys, and spaces, which reduces anxiety. Specialized Needs: I administer medications or follow specific care plans (like those for senior pets) exactly as instructed. Home Security: I am respectful of your space and also maintain the security of your home while you are away.

Information Sonja P. would like to know about your pet

Tell me all about your pup’s personality, routines, and any special needs so I can make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I love getting to know each dog’s quirks, favorite activities, and what makes their tail wag. I’m comfortable with most breeds and always make it my goal to make their time with me fun, active, and full of love.

A typical day

truly love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, loved, and engaged. We’ll play fun games, go on walks, explore all the new smells around my neighborhood, and enjoy a nearby park where they can have even more fun and adventure.

Your pet’s Trusted caregiver

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Nikki P, and I'm here to provide your beloved pet with the highest standard of care. I have over 30 years of pet care experience, having worked with animals of all shapes and sizes—from the smallest Chinese hamster to the largest dog breeds. I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful; I know because I've been in your shoes! I was once a client who had a wonderful experience with a Rover sitter, which inspired me to offer the same peace of mind to others. My goal is simple: to make sure you feel completely comfortable and secure while you're away. My Expertise My extensive experience means I'm prepared for many different care needs. I specialize in: Senior Pet Care: Providing the gentle, patient, and specialized attention that older pets often require, including assistance with mobility and comfort. Medication Administration: I have extensive experience caring for sick animals and can confidently administer various types of medications, including oral, topical, and injections, following your veterinarian's instructions precisely. Dog Walking: Offering fun, safe, and appropriately paced walks tailored to your dog's energy level and needs. At-Home Pet Sitting: Ensuring your pets are happy, safe, and comfortable in the familiar environment of their own home, minimizing stress and maintaining their routine. No pet is too small, and no need is too complex. Whether it's a cuddle session for a nervous cat or specific care for a dog with special health requirements, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Why Choose Me? Three Decades of Experience: True mastery in handling diverse animal needs and temperaments. Inspired by a Client's Trust: I approach every booking with the empathy of a pet parent who knows what it feels like to be uncertain. Specialized Care: Confidence in caring for senior and sick pets, which many other sitters may shy away from. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, or feathered family member!

Sonja was the perfect choice for our pet sitting needs. She has a great deal of experience, which was especially important for our senior dog, but she also knew how to keep it fun and energetic for our two year old. Sonja did an exceptional job caring for our pets and our home, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.

I know I can always count on Nikki to take extra special care of Reggie. Her updates are thorough with plenty of photos. Reggie loves the walks and the cuddles and is stress free when I get home which means the world to me. Thank you so much!! Patti
