Experienced Sitter & Trainer

Hey Fellow Dog Lovers, My name is Nina and I am a Interior Designer by day but a super dog walker/sitter by night!! I offer a wide range of services from walking to overnight boarding. A little about me: I seriously don’t know what life is like without a dog! Growing up we always had two dogs, so I kind of think my parents groomed me into the pet enthusiast I am today. It’s never a dull moment at my house! I have five amazing children that also dedicate their free-time to assist me with caring for animals. We have one Rottweiler puppy called Zoe or Zoe-Bear (depending on who you ask), a Turtle named Mr. Turtle, and a mischievous bearded dragon named Diablo. I know, I know your probably thinking “5 kids and 3 animals” The chaos, The madness, The noise. . . And you're probably right about ALL of it LOL, sometimes life is kind of chaotic but it’s such a beautiful mess here. I wouldn't have any other way to be honest! Enough about me. Here’s the details about our pet services: Your dog or cat can roam our home free with constant companionship. We have a nice size five bedroom home with a pretty large backyard. Your dog doesn’t like to just go out back?! No problem! We live up the street from an awesome park that has some cool trails so dog walking is a breeze. Experience: I have years worth of pet sitting and boarding experience with different breeds and personalities. Growing up my family was infatuated dogs! I gained a lot of my experience and love from the various dogs we owned from Huskies, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, and the list goes on. Location Location Location: Because location matters we are located about 15 minutes away from City Line Ave, 20 minutes away from West Philadelphia and 2 minutes away from the surrounding Delco counties. We like to think of ourselves as pretty decent humans that’s why: - We will take care of your dog as our own. -Very flexible schedule. You can drop your dog off or pick up at any time ( No problem). We can walk to pick up your pup or meet up half way within 1 mile radius. ** - We do not kennel/crates dogs unless requested by owner. - Your pup will never be alone *We ask that all dogs are up to date on all current vaccinations and medications (i.e. Front Line, Heart Worm, etc) * Come. Sit. Stay And Play Awhile

Thank you Nina for taking care of Luke again! Your communications are always excellent and helpful. This time I also really appreciate your attention to detail which helped us take action in regards to the food issues right on time before we went on our trip. We are truly happy that we found you!

The Nina was amazing. She took such good care of my dogs and sent lots of pictures. I will definitely use her for my future needs

I was extremely relieved when Nina responded that was available to take care of our dog, given the short notice. Our dog was well taken care of and showed to be very comfortable with her. She gave us updates every day and was always responsive. Overall - nice neighborhood and excellent service. Definitely booking again!

This was my first time using a dog sitter app. Nia was so professional, responsive, and polite she made me and my family feel very comfortable leaving Duchess in her care for a week. I kept getting turned down by multiple sitters but I am so grateful that Nia gave us the opportunity for her to care for Duchess. I will definitely be rebooking.

We were staying in Philly from out of town and needed a last minute sitter for our puppy (who is still being house-trained). Nina was super responsive and we knew our pup was well taken care of.

Awesome stay for Minion! They were able to accommodate Minion with short notice for ten days. She got to play with the chow chow they have and it was wonderful. She even got a toy to bring home :-)
