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.
Reviews
I have 2 dogs. my sister has 1. We always travel together, hence, our dogs need to stay together! We have used a kennel in the past and it was more out of necessity. our 3 dogs have different personalities and are as individuals as their age, and size. When we met Nia we both felt confident in her. Then the day of our trip came and we drop off our babies. I was a nervous wreck. These are not my pets. They are my babies! Nia took great care of them! she send us videos and pictures each day! which made me feel comfortable, we would all look at the videos laugh and sigh relief! When we picked up our pups, they were happy to see us! but you could tell they wanted to show us around their new environment! 1 of our dogs is a mini Pincher and she is picky with people. Nia caught on to that as well. Would I book Nia again? HECK YEAH!! First time using Rover, by the way, and booking was easy!
Nia is very sweet, provided photos and videos of my dogs while in her care. Responds quickly to any texts. Dogs were happy and healthy. Thank you, Nia.
Nia was amazing. Very sweet, attentive, loving and caring. Sent me pictures and updates. My dog didn't seem to even want to leave. Very recommended!!!
Nia is such a sweetheart. She really knows what she is doing when it comes to caring for dogs and made me feel extremely comfortable leaving Cairo with her. He had a great time and was sad to leave. One of my favorites :)

I accept all kids on a case by case basis of course. I do want to make sure they are all vaccinated and flea free! Absolutely MUST get along with other dogs! Must be spayed and neutered!
A typical day
For boarding in my home, we'll be chilling, cuddling, playing outside in the yard and going for walks! For just walks and drop ins, we'll walk and play according to what you ask for. For house sitting, LOTS OF CUDDLES! We can do simple walks around the neighborhood or go to the park if you'd like.

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.
