Let's walk!

Pet care experience

Hi there my furry friends! I've been around animals my entire life. From volunteering at animal shelters to sitting and training my friends dogs. I've been a vegan for the past 20 years and I'm an active animal equality activist and severe lover. Food, fitness and animals are my world! I've had dogs my entire life and have trained them all myself. Don't worry, I don't discriminate against your age or breed. You're perfect the way you are. Size though.... yes but only because my apartment is very small! I'm not strict about canceling or last minute bookings. It's no big deal! Life happens! I love to stay active and promote a healthy lifestyle which includes love for all creatures of earth! Feel free to message me with any questions you may have. How long have I been dog sitting? My entire life! I became vegan at the age of 6 and have been an active animal activist ever since. I've volunteered at animal shelters and even trained my friends dogs. I've never had a time in my life where I didn't have a dog in my home. My father was this way as well. He used to be a breeder and trainer so he taught me everything I know. At one point we had 32 pets in (or out of) the home (all different species), including an alligator! Can I administer medication? If you need to take a pill everyday, put on special creams, have special food prepared for you, that's fine. Shots, I'm not experienced in byt have no problem following your instruction.

Truly, and I mean this, could NOT recommend Nia more! She took such good care of my husky for two whole weeks while I had to be back home!!! So responsive, capable, and kind! Will 100000% be booking with her again!

Nia is amazing. She sat for our three large needy dogs and I don’t think they missed us a bit.

Nia watched Milo for 2 days while I was away and she was constantly sending pictures and updates on how the stay with Milo was going. She was very sweet and showed tons of love and compassion for my dog. I highly recommend having her watch your pet if you need a sitter!

Nia is great. Full of love for my dog Henry Winkler. She was very thoughtful in sending photos and videos throughout his stay. Thanks Nia!

I freelance so I create my schedule. It all depends on the dates. I'm mostly home. I'm an actress and voiceover artist so unless I'm booked for something, I'm home.
