Pet care experience

Highly Experienced, Passionate, Fun

Hi, I’m Nina! My passion for animals started when I began volunteering at animal shelters when I was 13. By the time I was 19, I was working full-time at a doggy daycare where I learned puppy / senior care, light training experience, medication administration, exotic pet care, behavioral management, navigating social interactions / introductions, and much more in my 8 years there.

Marianina did a great job with our boys. She was great at communicating with us even sending pictures throughout the week. We will definitely be booking her again.

Nina was AMAZING! My sweet boy Louie, was still in the recovery phase of his knee surgery and Nina did his therapy work with him while I was away in Texas! So happy we found her!! Will absolutely be using her again!

Nina was great with our dog, Buster! She stayed at our home for a week while we were out of town and cared for our elderly pup. She is an excellent communicator and left our house tidy and our pup loved + happy! We would definitely re-hire her!

Nina is a true animal lover and one of the most responsible pet caregivers. She is always on time and meticulous about following instructions. She doesn’t hesitate to reach out with any questions to ensure appropriate care. I feel completely at ease leaving my dog in her hands whenever I travel. She’s reliable, kind, and trustworthy—highly recommended!

Marianina is a very capable young woman. She has enjoyed a long career with being a kennel tech at a very active kennel in Purcellville, Virginia. She did everything from walking the dogs, to grooming the dogs, to cleaning up after them, and even arranging play groups with all sorts of different dog temperaments. She is loyal, hard-working, and proactive in getting the job done. I would highly recommend her for this position.

Nina is absolutely wonderful! She helped me with my senior dog, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She has kennel knowledge, understands body languages of animals, and has a beautiful soul. I couldn’t recommend her more!
