Loving Care When You're Not There
Pet care experience
I can't imagine a world without pets. With a lifetime of dedication to animal care, I bring a unique skill set to pet sitting that goes beyond the basics. I have trained Italian Greyhounds, delivered puppies, and cared for sick, geriatric, and rescued animals. My experience includes working with dogs, cats, and birds, providing patient, gentle care tailored to their individual needs. I specialize in: Training Puppies: Using a diligent potty training routine, I ensure success through consistency and patience. Understanding Animal Behavior: I recognize talents, reinforce positive behaviors, and adapt to whether a pet is food- or play-motivated. Trauma-Sensitive Care: My gentle approach helps me bond with and soothe traumatized animals. As a Tai Chi master and meditation practitioner, I bring a calm and balanced energy to every interaction. I can even play soothing, appropriate music to help pets feel at ease. My intuitive "sixth sense" for animals allows me to connect with them on a deeper level, ensuring they feel understood and loved in your absence. I look forward to giving your fur-babies the attentive, compassionate care they deserve!

Reviews
Nadine was amazing! She was extremely reliable and communicative. She was our first hire from Rover so we were a little unsure about the process but Nadine made it seamless and easy. She sent us pictures and videos almost daily which we loved! Highly recommend!
Nadine is a loving, caring, and highly knowledgeable pet owner who has taken care of many animals in her lifetime. She grew up raising showdogs, so she has a lot of experience training and handling. Her genuine loving spirit and extensive skills would certainly make a dedicated pet parent feel safe putting their fur babies in her care.
Masako is AMAZING with animals! My parrot Lucy and cats absolutely love her. She is very attentive and respectful in my home! Highly recommend her.

A typical day
**Morning Greeting**: I’ll start the day with a warm and friendly greeting for your pet, ensuring they feel loved and welcomed. This helps set a positive tone for the day. **Assessing Motivation**: I’ll take a moment to observe your pet’s behavior. If they seem playful, we can jump right into some fun games like fetch or tug-of-war. If they’re more food-motivated, I can prepare their breakfast and perhaps use mealtime as an opportunity to engage with them, incorporating some training or tricks. **Building Comfort**: I understand that every pet has their own pace. I’ll be attentive to their comfort level, allowing them to approach me when they’re ready. If they need some time to adjust, I’ll sit nearby, offering gentle encouragement and treats to create a trusting bond. **Activity Planning**: Throughout the day, I’ll mix in activities based on their motivation. For example, if they enjoy walks, we’ll take a stroll around the neighborhood or visit a nearby park. If they prefer quieter activities, we might have some cuddle time or gentle brushing. **Routine and Consistency**: I’ll stick to their usual routine as much as possible, including meal times, bathroom breaks, and play sessions, ensuring they feel secure and happy. **Evening Wind Down**: As the day comes to a close, I’ll engage in calming activities, helping them relax before bedtime. This routine not only keeps them comfortable but also helps build a strong bond between us.
