Information Marianina G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any behavioral quirks I should know about before entering your home i.e. will bark but is friendly, makes a funny sound, will try to run towards other dogs on walks. Anything I should know to keep your pet and myself safe!

A typical day

I love to go on evenly-paced nature walks (not intense hiking) with dogs, I love to throw the ball endlessly for our fetch lovers, play tug-of-war, swimming / splashing, or simply hanging out on the couch or porch with a senior pet or one that may be more anxious.

Pet care experience

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.

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!
