Pet care experience

I love all pets like family

Hello there! My name is Donia, but you can call me Nia! I have a passion for animal caretaking and rescue and am pursuing a career in dog grooming while fostering and rescuing in my free time. I am currently working part time at a grooming shop in addition to dog walking and other pet sitting. Believe me, as a dog mom having been held responsible for my pets from the young age of 10, I understand how hard it can be to keep up with the hastle. I have taken care of many different types of pets with different levels of neediness from puppies to elders to special needs dogs and even cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I am known as my neighborhood "dog whisperer". I love providing care for animals in need and would love to give a helping hand to anyone in need. I am also dog and cat first aid certified! Thank you for considering me to help you out and thank you for trusting me with your pets!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard with four friendly dogs, a large home that is able to have separated space if needed. In a client's home I treat their house with respect and leave everything cleaner than when I found it. I treat every single pet as if they were my own!

Nia was so thoughtful and caring with our dog, Jiffers! We booked Nia for an overnight service in our home and we couldn’t be more happy. She sent us picture updates throughout the day and kept us informed on how he was doing. Highly recommend!

Milo had a great time with Donia! She took very good care of Milo and was extremely accommodating with drop off and pick up. I was in the middle of a move so I really appreciated her flexibility. Plus Milo had so much fun with her pups!
