A Pastry Chef in love w/ dogs

Pet care experience

When I was younger my uncle brought home a newborn puppy for my grandma. As any little girl would be, I was overjoyed to have a pet. I loved Malcolm so very much. But neither my grandma nor my uncle took care of the dog. They barely bathed him, never bought him food, and did not give him the care he deserved. I even offered to take care of the dog myself with my monthly allowance and some help from my mom but they would not allow it at all. Being in this situation and seeing the mistreatment of such a beautiful and loving animal broke my heart. So to have the opportunity to show the care I was not allowed to show Malcolm to someone else's dog would be the greatest opportunity. I am a part-time pet-sitter, but I am available the majority of requested times for services. Also, I have the majority of holidays off so if you ever want to do a family/romantic getaway and leave the dog at home during the holidays and need a sitter, I'm your girl! I currently live in a house that is very spacious and well-lit. I have a roommate that also loves pets and helps out some times whenever I am at work. I love to let the pets I care for freely walk around the place to feel comfortable.

Nia helped us out in a pinch when another sitter cancelled last minute! We were so happy she could help, and she gave us daily updates that the pets were good. Glad she was there to help us!

Our original plans for dog care fell through, and we were scrambling to find someone, and Nia came through! Nia is wonderful: She's responsive to messages, sends the right amount of updates, and was very attentive to our pup for a full week. I'm very pleased with her care, and will book her again.

Nia is amazing! My first time leaving my baby girl with someone and she went well above and beyond. Very loving, sent pictures and we communicated every day. If I could give her 1,000 stars I would.

Nia was very responsive. She sent photos of our pup through the day which made us feel more comfortable. We would feel comfortable with Nia as a dog sitter in the future!

I currently work four days a week from 2PM to 10PM. Before work would be the time I take to walk with the dog/cat I’m caring for and feed them and then I’d be able to feed them after work as well. Also, on my days off I am able to spend the day with your pet!
