Over 17 years in reliable pet care!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm Antoinette (nickname Nina) I live in Flushing with my little family, my awesome husband, our toddler, and our lovely girl dog, Prudence. I have enjoyed over 15 years of working with animals and am now looking to work more from home so I can spend more time with our family 1and enjoy our new community! I have worked with animal control, animal sanctuaries, grooming salons, and for the past 8 years with 2 vet clinics in Ingham county. I love dogs and I take their welfare very seriously. I can offer your pup plenty of exercise ( a tired dog is a happy dog!), basic grooming, basic manners training with a positive reward approach, sensory and toy enrichment, dog socialization, and of course plenty of cuddles and fun! I have veterinary medical experience and I am comfortable administering oral , topical, or injectable medications if your pet requires such during their stay Please reach out to me with any questions you have. I would love to meet some more pet parents in the area , find out more about your pet's needs, and see if we would be a good fit for each other. Thanks for considering me for your pups care!

Antoinette and Sean watched my Goldendoodle Charlie while I was away in London. I received messages and photos daily and felt reassured that Charlie was in good hands. Her dog Prudence and my pup became the best of friends and I plan to use Antoinette as Charlie's future dog sitter. I loved how large their backyard is and Charlie loved playing in it and having a playmate while I was away. If you are looking for someone to treat your pet as their own, then Antoinette is your perfect choice!

This was my first time using Rover and Antoinette was very helpful with how to use the ap, plus we talked on the phone. After talking I felt alot of comfort that Oscar would be in good hands. Antoinette and Sean were both wonderful watching my 2 year old male German Shepherd Oscar. I received text every day with pictures of Oscars activities, he loved playing with their beautiful dogs and followed Sean around alot. Oscar & I made new friends and I would have them watch Oscar for me again.☺

This was are first time using Antoinette and we couldn't have been happier. Her attention to detail and background in pet care manifested within moments of meeting her. During our meet-and-great, she asked all the right questions and left us feeling confident we could trust her with our little guy, Leo. During the boarding, she updated us everyday and provided plenty of pictures; and Leo loved playing with her dogs Pru and Coffee Bean. He was so tired out that by the time he was back in the car with us, he was already sleeping. I would highly recommend Antoinette as she is one of the best and most qualified sitters I have encountered on Rover.

Information Antoinette C. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any food or drug allergies? Are they current on Rabies, Distemper/parvo/lepto, and bordetella vaccines? Can you provide proof of vaccines or can I contact your vet to check for upon booking? Is your dog routinely given flea and tick prevention? Is your dog friendly with other dogs? Will the owner be willing to wear a mask when entering my home?

A typical day

To exercise your dog we will go on walks around the neighborhood, local trails, and parks (dependent on your dogs fitness abilities). I have a larger yard that we can play fetch and romp around in, too. I love finding enrichment experiences for dogs and setting up foraging challenges for them! This is a great way to tire out a high energy dog or provide mental stimulation to older dogs and puppies. Some fun enrichment activities that we do dog for our dogs are stuffed or frozen KONG toys, scent work (i.e. hiding treats in secret locations or cardboard boxes and encouraging the dog to sniff out the reward, treat dispensing rigs like puzzle toys and KONG WOBBLERs. We are also lucky to have a larger home with plenty of space for pups to enjoy inside when the weather is not ideal. I have also taken course work in Canine Massage so I can offer calming touch when your pup could benefit from some relaxation after a play session.
