Vet Tech with a Love for All Pets
Pet care experience
I have experience working with animals as small as mice to ones as large as lions; so there is no size of household pet that I am uncomfortable with! As an aspiring veterinarian, I am quite meticulous when it comes to ensuring the safety and well-being of our beloved non-human family members. Every one has their own personality, and I am very sensitive to that quality. It is easy for me to perceive and respond appropriately if they happen to be super friendly and looking for a good snuggle, or a more independent-type who would prefer to not be overly touched. I have experience working in others' homes and am very careful in leaving the environment in the same manner in which I entered. I'd also be more than happy to send pictures and daily updates of our activities and behavior, if you'd like. Our line of communication can be as open or closed as you'd prefer. As a side-note: I am insured as well, as accidents do happen; although, not very often. Please feel free contact me at any hour of the day, and I will respond as soon as possible!
Reviews
Nadia was great. She provided both me and my wife with her personal cell phone number and was always prompt in responding to any questions we had while we were away. She came to our house twice a day to walk our two dogs and take care of our cat who takes medications twice a day, for two full weeks. She assured us that she's comfortable medicating animals, as she works in an animal hospital as a technician and does it on a daily basis. Our dogs love her and her rates are very reasonable. We've found our sitter for the foreseeable future and will be giving her a call the next time we go out of town. Excellent.
Nadia is such a sweetheart and instantly connected with my pitbull, Harley! I was a little nervous that being a pitbull, they'd both be a little apprehensive around each other, but it was really just the opposite! Nadia mostly focused on me and understanding my needs while calmly and slowly introducing herself to Harley. It didn't take more than 20 minutes for them to be interacting so naturally and for me to feel fully comfortable leaving them together unsupervised! I'm glad to be the first to leave a testimony because I really can't say enough about how pleased I was upon returning home, knowing that my baby was in capable and loving hands, and getting the care she needed in her own home while I was away. Nadia lived in our Arlington home for four days and left it without a trace. I would love to work with her again and will definitely give her a call the next time I go out of town! Thank you for everything, I couldn't be happier with her service!
Nadia is simply a joy every time she sits for our three pugs. They absolutely love her and always are beyond happy when she's with them. She is a very responsible house guest and never leaves anything in our home out of place! Nadia is hands-down our first choice whenever we need someone to take care of our dogs during out frequent travels. 10/10!

Information Nadia Q. would like to know about your pet
I like to be made aware of any dog- or people-aggression, so I can keep both your pet and others safe while enjoying our time outdoors. If your pets have a traumatic past and prefer not to be touched at all, have any known "triggers," or can be highly treat-motivated, this information is also very helpful.
A typical day
If there are parks near the home, I've noticed that most dogs love to explore these environment (dogs are typically kept on a leash for safety purposed). For an off-leash experience, tennis courts and fenced-in areas are great places to chase a ball or a frisbee. Some dogs prefer not to venture too far from home (my own included), so walks around the neighborhood with plenty of stops to smell "the news" are the most common.
