Pet care experience

Care you can count on.

Hi, I’m Nia! 👋 I’m a dedicated pet owner to two pups of my own, so I understand exactly how important trust, routine, and communication are when someone else is caring for your furry family. Whether your pet needs a reliable walk, a calm companion, or consistent daily care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Pet Owner Experience I already manage daily schedules, walks, feeding, and training for my own dogs—so caring for yours comes with experience, patience, and genuine love. 📸 Clear Communication You’ll get real-time updates, photos, and quick messages so you always know how your pet is doing. ⏱️ Routine-Focused Care If your pet thrives on structure, you’re in the right place. I’ll follow your routine exactly—walks, meals, medications, and preferred routes. 🏡 Home-Respectful If I’m visiting your home, I take it seriously. I tidy up water bowls, bring in packages, wipe paws after walks, and keep your space secure. Availability ⏰ I offer walks and drop-in visits during the following hours: Weekdays: 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM Weekends: 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM Requests outside of these hours may be accommodated on a case-by-case basis, depending on availability.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I care for every pet like I care for my own two dogs—cautiously, attentively, and with respect for their space. Here’s how I keep your pet safe and comfortable: • No off-leash walking unless it’s in a secure, owner-approved area • Secure home entry and exit (doors locked, lights as instructed) • Paw wipes after walks when needed • Avoiding crowded or stressful areas for pets who are reactive or nervous • Following all house rules—furniture, crates, baby gates, food restrictions • Maintaining a calm atmosphere so your pet feels relaxed in their own environment If I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and can also bring in packages, water plants, or keep an eye on anything you’d like.

All animals seemed well cared for. House was very clean and drop of key was easy.

Nia isn’t just a pet sitter! she’s like a second mom to my dog! He gets excited every time it’s time to see her. She’s loving, responsible, and truly cares for pets as if they were her own. I feel completely confident leaving him with her, and it’s clear he adores her! I trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a devoted, loving and responsible pet sitter!

Nia is an amazing dog mom, she’s responsible and super loving with every animal she meets. She takes great care of her own pets and always goes the extra mile to make sure they’re safe, happy, and comfortable. I know she’d be wonderful with anyone’s furry family member, and you can trust that your pet will be in great hands with her.

Schedule

I’m big on consistency. As a pet owner myself, I know how much animals rely on their routine, so I follow your pet’s schedule exactly. A typical visit includes: • On-time walks at their usual pace and preferred route • Feeding exactly how and when you specify • Fresh water and a quick tidy of their eating area • Playtime or enrichment based on your pet’s energy level • Bathroom breaks on a predictable schedule • Updates with photos after each visit so you always know how your pet is doing If your pet has special needs—medications, slow feeding, crate time, training cues—I’ll build that right into the routine.
