I am disabled and this fills my need for my love of animals and gives me some extra cash for home expenses. I live in a nice home with 3 cats but like to keep busy and this does not affect by disability.

Safety, trust & environment

I feed on schedule, gives lots of love and play, nurturing, medications. I do only sit in your home as I have 3 cats and they do not like dogs and no fenced yard.

Information Nadine H. would like to know about your pet

Does the dog walk well on a leash as I have Lupus and cannot handle a dog that pulls if they are large. Will not sit for Pit Bulls, Rotweilers or Dobermans. Have been bitten by all three, I want to make the dog feel comfortable and they will know if I have that fear. No offense to the breeds but just my fear.

A typical day

Will take them to the park, long walks, play ball and play with them with their toys and keep them on their normal schedule. Brush them, swim with them, and nurture them. ALWAYS loving as I absolutely love animals.

Pet care experience

Excellent references, owned my own pet sitting business in Fort Lauderdale for many years, have 3 cats of my own and have owned dogs as well. Older and responsible, no drugs, smoking or partying. Will sit for large dogs but must walk well on leash. drugs, drinking, partying, smoking, boyfriends. I take care of your animals as if they were my children also and spoil them like my own. Always welcome to come and see my home and meet my babies too. I was not able to have children so my pets have always been my children, lots of toys, treats, healthy food and vet visits. I know how to handle dogs on a leash and love playing and loving on them and responsible and watch them carefully. Professional and have worked since I was 16. if I tell you I will show up and when, I will be there. Volunteer at Guardian Ad Litem as a child advocate in court and have been background checked and fingerprinted.

It was great having someone here with the pups, especially during the fireworks.

Nadine was great! She stayed with our dogs while we were away and made sure they felt comfortable. She sent updates every couple of hours, including pictures, so we could see how relaxed and happy they were. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely recommend her!

Very happy with how well Nadine took care of all of our pets and our home while we were out of town. The animals all liked her right away, the home was clean when we got home, and she was very responsive with updates.

My dog was instantly in love with Nadine. Such a joy to see that immediate connection. There was no hesitation on my part to leave my home knowing how happy my dog was around this beautiful woman.
