Stay-at-Home Dog Sitter

Pet care experience

I love dogs. I limit the amount of dogs I care for so I can provide your fur baby with lots of attention and one-on-one time. My lower level condo is very close to Del Monte @ Voss (near Del Vista restaurant). There are two veterinarian clinics within walking distance. My home is one big dog house. It is smoke-free. I have it serviced for pest control quarterly and ac and ac air flow chamber system is cleaned, serviced and sanitized annually. There are air purifiers throughout my space, filters changed regularly. I have a pet safe enclosed patio with turf that I deodorize regularly. I'm good at sensing a dog's communication - what they are asking for, such as a walk, food, attention, etc. Your fur baby will enjoy a charming pet friendly environment. Amenities and complimentary extras include: Doggy stroller on premises Several sleeping options (dog beds, my bed, multiple dog floor pillows) Dual doggy leashes (for those housemate dogs that enjoy walking together) Tiled floors for cooling tummies Rugs for warmer resting spots Comfy padded floor runners to minimize paws slipping on tile Diapers (for those that need that extra protection) Doggie poop bags and pee pads (no need to supply your own) US made and sourced treats (if allowed) Lots of affection Gated community Quiet neighborhood Steps for getting on couch and bed Safe ground level residence (no cumbersome stairs) PS - My nickname is Nini

Ellie had the best time at Nini's house!! Ellie gets really anxious when she is not around her people, and she quickly attached to Nini! So thankful for Nini!! I couldn't recommend enough!!

Guys- If you are worried about finding the PERFECT, Most LOVING sitter for your furry baby, Esther is it. I searched through so many profiles for my senior Pomeranian who has a few genetic health issues (14.5 years) and I just couldn’t trust anyone enough with his delicate situation until I came across Esther’s profile. Esther is a genuine, true dog lover who will love and care for your fur baby just like you would. I felt so much at peace with Smuckey being with her while we were away for a few days. It was to the point that we almost cancelled our trip until I came across Esther. When I met her, my baby felt right at home in her lovely home. So much positivity in the house that I was filled with Joy to have my fur baby in her care. She administered his several medications and supplements on time and was such a fabulous communicator. Kept me updated several times a day. Honestly, I told my husband that Esther is God Sent. And she truly was. She was simply phenomenal and you will not regret having her take care of your fur babies. The fur babies LOVE it at her house. Dogs have a sixth sense and just seem to be so happy with Esther. Esther is truly the BEST. I just can’t express the gratitude and my appreciation for her enough. She is a wonderful hooman as well.❤️Esther- THANK YOU so much again for taking such wonderful care of my baby. He absolutely loved being there with you and looked so great when we picked him up. THANK YOU!❤️❤️

Information Esther A. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if you allow treats after walks (I only purchase US made and sourced treats). I also want to know if you sometimes dole out little bits of people food, like a little turkey or cheese now and then.

A typical day

Activities for you dog include walking, stroller in pet stroller if applicable, puzzle activities, play time, and lots of affection. Your fur baby will enjoy short and a few longer walks at least 4 times a day (usually 6 or more outside visits per day), as I am home all day to make sure your baby is well cared for. Safety is the first and foremost important issue in caring for your pet. In Texas, our hot weather can be harmful to our pets. Extra care is taken to ensure your dog is not subjected to extreme weather. No long walks during the hottest parts of the day - just short necessary biz breaks. Longer walks will be provided in the very early (between 6 -10 am) and later (between 6-10 pm) in the day.
