I know how important consistency is, and I’ll do my best to be there when your pet needs me. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions, keep doors and gates secure, make sure fresh water is available, and give your pet the attention and care they deserve.

“Nikki was so great to take care of our pup. She even took the time to meet with me to go over things we have been working on in obedience school so that she could support us in helping with training during walks and feeding. It is so great to know our pup is in great hands when we can't be there.”

The pets in my home have a spacious environment to be around the family while we are home. We always watch out for our dogs when they are out of the crate and the same for any of your pets that come over to hang out.
About: Walking is one of my favorite pastimes, I just like having company along for it. That same company is also welcome for cuddle time if they are into that kind of thing. We live in a townhouse with a small yard, but pets are never left outside alone or off leash. Ever!!! Safety and supervision are always my priority. I’m trained to communicate clearly and professionally with pet parents and to follow whatever boundaries you set for your pet. I adjust quickly to each animal’s personality and needs instead of treating them like they are all the same. I’m also mindful about reinforcing respectful boundaries with children and other pets when needed. I really see pets as individuals with their own personalities, and I treat them that way from the start. I work full time from home and my husband is unable to work. We are literally always home!! Between the two of us and our children your puppers will be the happiest lil doggo!! Your pet will be treated with the love, care, and attention I give my own. They will be part of the family with plenty of playtime and cuddles with TONS of beds to choose from.

About: I’ve worked with countless animals over the years that I’ve been alive. Between growing up surrounded by pets and dealing with exotic woodland creatures and saving injured ones, animals have simply always been who i am! I’ve had puppies, kittens, and even saved some turtles in my life! Animals for life :) I work part time as it stands, so I am away from home from 2 pm-7pm every weekday. On weekends, I am free to be with your pet as often as possible. When it comes to overnight stays in another home, I try to keep them limited because of my schedule and preferences. But overall, I’m more than happy to spend mornings and evenings with your babies! I’m happy to follow any and all pet instructions given to me! If dog parks are part of the routine, I have a car and am more than able to take them there! Any care they need within your home or mine, consider it covered! One thing to note is that I live with other people, and when it comes to watching pets in another home, I will often bring someone with me for security! Aside from that, anything necessary for your fur baby :)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Haven
We were so fortunate to find Emma on Rover. We moved to an apartment in March and needed her to walk and exercise our 2 dogs. Our girls as I call our dogs love her. Emma is also a dog trainer and I appreciate how she does it with patience and kindness. Bailey our Golden Retriever pulled on her lease and it was difficult for me to keep holding on. Emma taught her to walk without pulling and it’s made a big difference. Emma also taught other commands. My girls now walk and play without being stimulated by other dogs. She is the best!!!
Jayd and Ecko were fantastic to work with and did an amazing job while we were gone on a trip! They went above and beyond, always sent a ton of pictures and spent quality time playing with our dogs beyond what we expected. We came home to pups who were much calmer and more relaxed than usual, which we can absolutely attribute to the time Jayd and Ecko took to make sure they got all the love and care they needed while we were away. We will absolutely book with them again!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your West Haven. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
