“I am so thankful for Nina's help while I was away for two long days in a row. The dogs were happier and more relaxed when I came home and seeing her reports took away all my guilt for leaving them for the day. It's obvious they had fun and felt loved. I will definitely seek her out again!”

About: As a rising third-year veterinary student at the University of Illinois, I bring both professional training and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. Through my veterinary education and hands-on clinical experience, I have worked with animals of many breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments—including shy, anxious, high-energy, and senior pets. My experience has taught me how to safely handle animals, recognize signs of stress or illness, and adapt my approach to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pet loves playtime and attention or prefers a calmer, quieter environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and have experience with feeding routines, medications, and providing patient, attentive care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone dependable, communicative, and trustworthy, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated so you can feel confident they are in good hands. My schedule is very flexible this summer! I am currently working part-time and participating in some veterinary shadowing experiences, but outside of that I have wide availability for pet care. I am available most weekends and have flexibility throughout the week, especially during mornings and evenings. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that best fit their pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a veterinary student, I have experience recognizing signs of stress, illness, and discomfort in animals and understand the importance of careful, attentive care. I strive to create a calm and positive environment for every pet while respecting their normal routines and boundaries. I know how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet, so I will always communicate clearly, provide updates, and treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra patience, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, I am naturally quiet and calm so dogs especially are very comfortable around me. I’ve cared for dogs, cats and horses while their humans were away for 40 plus years and I am reliable and thoughtful with every visit. I’m retired and spend most days gardening with my dogs so I’m very flexible. It’s easy for me to make time to add pet care to my schedule. I care for my clients pets per their direction and request adding in lots of kindness and praise. I arrive on time ready to engage with them.

I am available to take care of you pets around the clock including midnight shifts. I am also willing to sit for long hours also I make sure that pets have food and clean water. I also can dogs out for walks in any weather and go to the store.

About: I am have fostered many cats with Cincinnati Animal Care! I only foster cats and have fostered both well and sick animals. I also have my own friendly animals! A dog and cat both up to date on vaccines and will be kept separate from other animals. I look forward to chillin' with your lovely cats! 😁 I do work but I have a flexible schedule and have plenty of time to board or do drop-ins! Drop offs would need to happen in the early morning or late afternoons on weekdays. I have a separate bedroom to board animals as well as a temperature controlled basement. I also have a huge dog crate (can fit a100+ lb animal) for animals that may need to be completely separated from the rest!
