I am caring for my mother at home. I have lots of free time to fit in my schedule for walks, visiting homes and checking on all kinds of pets. I am open to exotics also. My boarding prices include one large area/room that is nice and cool and has room for bedding, toys, and whatever your pet desires. This room has access to a multi-level backyard. The animals are closed inside at night. Dogs also receive one 30 minute walk out of the home a day. Extra walks will be charged at $25 per walk. Cats stay in a room separate from dogs with all their amenities and will not leave this room during their stay. If your cat is leashed trained and you require walks please let me know know and we can talk about wether it is possible.

Safety, trust & environment

I am a retired veterinary technician. I am educated in safety and health for animals. The pets in my home are loved and cared for individually. You can go on your trips knowing your animals are safe and cared for with a vet nurse. I am also willing to come by houses and visit. I will not do over night stays, but doggies/cats/exotics are welcome to stay overnight here at my home. When you leave your pet with me you will receive multiple pictures through out your pets stay and you will have full communication from me at all times. All dogs are required to have been vaccinated with Rabies, dhp, flu, and bordetella. Cats should be vaccinated with Rabies, fvr-cp and leukemia. All animals that acquire fleas must be on a flea product. If they are not I will provide the flea dose but you will be charged accordingly for that dose. These requirements are for the safety of the animals in my home and in my neighborhood. Thank you for understanding.

Information Nadya S. would like to know about your pet

Each pet is a special individual with likes and needs just like us humans. Tell me about your individual pet and what they like to do day to day so I can keep it as consistent as possible while you’re away. I also love lists.

A typical day

We have a park close by to visit frequently and a beautufl neighborhood to take walks around. I have multi-layer back yard with lots of room to run and play. We can throw ball, play frisbee, whatever your pets delight.

Pet care experience

I was a veterinary technician for almost 15 years. I worked with large and small animals. I also groomed animals for 5 years. I owned and ran my grooming business out of my home in St. Helena. I was a CSR at a vet hospital in Fairfax most recently. I need to be home to care for my mother who is having health struggles so looking for more work closer to home.

Nadya was excellent- I highly recommend booking with her! We are new to Marin and I was looking for someone last minute and Nadya turned out to be a wonderful sitter. She communicated well, walked me through the space where Conan would stay, and sent me daily updates and pictures. I felt very relaxed and at ease knowing Conan was in good hands and taken care of. Highly recommend Nadya- we will book again :)

Nadya was so kind and took great care of our puppy, sending photos and videos throughout his stay. We’ll definitely be reaching out again next time we’re in town and need someone to take care of Appa for the day! Thank you, Nadya!

I have know Nadya for a long time and her dedication to animals is truly impressive! She has a wealth of experience and genuinely cares for every animal that she takes care of. She goes above and beyond to ensure they have a great time, engaging with them in a way that makes every walk enjoyable. Watching her interact with the pets, you can see they are happy and well-cared for. If you're looking for someone who truly loves what they do, Nadya is the one!
