Pet care experience

In dire need of some pet friends

Hello I'm Caterina and I have been in love with dogs from the very start. I have always claimed my family dogs as my own (one silver lab and one Rottweiler/pitbull mix), and grew used to waking up with them in bed and feeding them. It was my favorite part of every day. Now that I live on my own, I find my days empty without them, and am in dire need of some dog time!

Caterina was great! She was super responsive and took great care of Tuna! She sent lots of photos and videos of Tuna throughout her stay. Would definitely recommend!

Nina walked and looked after my dogs a bunch of times and it went super well! I fully trusted her because she was informative and honest. I could see that she has a deep love for dogs! Overall it was a great experience.

Nina watched my dogs for a few weeks while I was away and it went perfectly. She did everything I told her and didn’t miss a thing. She was so communicative and I could tell she really cared about my dogs.

Besides being a hard worker and a conscientious service provider, Nina is absolutely crazy about dogs. Whether it’s the every day walk and play or giving insulin shots, she can be relied on to provide your dog care and affection equal to what their owners provide if not more.

I will be playing and talking nonstop with any pets I am entrusted with. I am super attentive and know how precious pets are, and will be aware of any needs they may have!

A typical day

I am an avid runner and explorer and enjoy spending as much time as possible outside. So I would love to take lots of walks and visits to the nearby dog run and parks (If that is something the dog would enjoy). I live right by McCarren park, perfect for a stroll or a run! I also am a fool for cuddles!

I am used to dogs of all shapes and sizes and a wide spectrum of behavior. One of my family dogs has quite the penchant for finding food where you least expect it, so I am conditioned to never leave any food out. It would definitely be useful to know if your dog has difficulties with children or other animals, in case we go out for a walk. And also if they have any intense fears, my old dog was so terribly afraid of aluminum cans.
