About Nia S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will care for each animal depending on who they are, as well as the environment that’s available. I will also be pretty relaxed and practice caution for every animal. I can also be more energetic and active for my more extroverted buds!
Information Nia S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any behavioral issues and/or any specific needs or sensitivities, such as a weak bladder (needing to go out frequently). It would also help me a lot to know any items/habits that bring them comfort!
A typical day
I like to spend time bonding with each animal, whether that’s playing their favorite game or with their favorite toy. I keep a laser pointer mouse on me for cats. I also love doing little races at the end of each walk with dogs and offering treats as a participation reward.

Pet care experience
I’ve cared for a variety of different animals most of my life (dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, etc.), and I’ve spent hours volunteering and cleaning kennels at my local animal shelter. These experiences have led to me becoming someone who truly loves and embraces all aspects of animal care. I’ve seen and dealt with feisty, anxious, or rebellious animals, and throughout the years I’ve learned that patience goes a long way.
Reviews
Nia was an absolutely fantastic pet sitter! She took wonderful care of our cat, Penny, for 10 days, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. She was prompt, reliable, and kept us updated throughout our trip with regular communication, which gave us great peace of mind. Penny is usually very shy around new people, but Nia was patient and caring, and somehow managed to make her feel comfortable. It was clear that Penny was in great hands. When we returned home, the house was spotless, and the litter box was clean and well maintained. It was such a relief to come back to a happy cat and a tidy home. We highly recommend Nia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter!
Nia did a wonderful job with my cats! Especially my boy, who tends to be very shy and skittish with new people. Will definitely try and book with her again in the future!
Nia did a great job taking care of our skittish cat. She was on time and clean.
Nia was super helpful and was able to accommodate all of our requests. Our kitties really loved her, and her communication was great. We’re thankful for her help. She made our trip very easy.
