Super Loving and Fun Caretaker
About Me Hi! I’m Nina 🐾 I’ve been around dogs my entire life and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Growing up, my family adopted and cared for several rescue dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including Chihuahuas, German Shepherds, Lab mixes, and Shih Tzus. That experience taught me how important patience, consistency, and individualized care are for every pet. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to my mini long-haired dachshund, Nemo, who completely stole my heart 💛 Caring for him has made me even more attentive to the little things that matter to pet parents — keeping routines consistent, providing lots of affection and supervision, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Outside of Rover, I work in professional services within the tech industry, so I’m very organized, dependable, and communicative. I also work a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to spend quality time with the pets in my care throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. My goal is always to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels at home and where you feel confident knowing they’re being treated like family 🐶 ⸻ Experience • 10+ years of hands-on pet care experience • Experienced with rescue dogs and different temperaments • Cared for breeds including Chihuahuas, German Shepherds, Lab mixes, Shih Tzus, and Dachshunds • Comfortable with puppies, small dogs, and senior dogs • Experience maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty routines, and medication instructions • Frequent photo and video updates for pet parents 📸 • Calm, patient, and attentive approach to care • Flexible hybrid work schedule allows for consistent supervision and companionship You can trust that your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care while they’re with me 🐾

Ratings and reviews
Nina was a great and responsible caregiver to my Luigi. I could tell Luigi was taken care of very well. I highly recommend her to any one.
Karenina provided truly outstanding care for my Puppy Coco. Coco loves Karenina! I know that when I leave Coco in Karenina's care she will be well cared for by someone who truly loves dogs.
Nina was an exceptional pet sitter for my 8 week puppy, Cici. Nina gave her individual attention and treated her with great care. Nina also offered me helpful advice as a new pet owner. Thanks Nina, for allowing me to trust you with my best friend.

Schedule
I work a flexible hybrid schedule in professional services, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding, and I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and updates. I’m especially attentive to keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog will be as spoiled as mine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I live in a clean, pet-friendly townhome and have experience caring for small dogs and puppies, including my mini dachshund, Nemo 🐾 I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any preferences you provide. I always prioritize secure walks, supervised playtime, and a calm environment where pets can feel relaxed and loved. I also provide frequent photo and video updates so you can feel confident your pet is in great hands.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day includes walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddle time, potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I love keeping pets engaged while also respecting their personalities and energy levels — whether they’re playful and energetic or more calm and cuddly. I also stick closely to the routines and guidelines provided by each owner to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. You can expect plenty of love, supervision, and updates while your pet is with me 🐶

- Please let me know about your pet’s temperament, routines, feeding schedule, medications, triggers, or anything that helps them feel most comfortable and safe. I also appreciate knowing how they interact with other dogs, whether they have separation anxiety, and any special preferences they may have so I can provide the best possible care.
