Safety, trust & environment

I am able to work with your instructions on caring for your pet! I have had animals that need to be walked, or can only get outside time in their yard. I have cared for pets on bed rest with stitches, as well as having to administer medications throughout the day.

Nia did a great job taking care of our dog, Lulu. Nia was very good at communicating everything she observed and all the things she did while spending time with Lulu. She really paid attention to Lulu’s behavior and mood and her notes really let us know Lulu was in good hands.

Fantastic dog sitter! No issues, very communicative and was willing to add visits when our travel was unexpectedly delayed.

Nia was great with my dog Blue when me and husband were out of town for three days. She was very friendly, communicative and punctual. She left me with a note of what she did with my dog on each visit and kept the guidelines/instructions. We will definitely have her again for our dog sitter! She is great! 10/10 would recommend!!

Nia is absolutely wonderful. My work schedule changed and I needed someone to let my dog out mid-day. Before it got so hot, Nia would take her on a walk (her absolute favorite thing in the world) and play with her in the yard. With the onset of the Tucson heat, Nia keeps activities to the yard with lots of play time indoors. I come home to a happy dog!! I highly recommend Nia. I know she cares about my dog and she makes sure that Zuzu gets quality belly-rub time while I’m toiling away to afford her standard of living. Haha!

Erminia “Nia” is someone I would trust with every single one of my pets any day. In fact, I’ve had her watch, walk, feed, etc. my dog, Kalypso, and cats, Iceni and Baku, several times over the last 5-6 years. She’s wonderful and I’ve always been able to trust her, both with my fur babies and with my home when I had to travel. My dog isn’t the most social and doesn’t take to too many people and my cats are plain haters to anyone outside of the household, but Kalypso adores Nia and soaks up all the affection and love that Nia gives. My cats don’t hide from her, which is the highest praise. Iceni even wanders out to watch and sit near her sometimes. Amazing. I know Nia is skilled with animals because she has several of her own: two dogs, three cats, and a snake to boot. They’re all healthy, loving and sweet animals who have been showered with training and affection. Erminia is top choice and I highly recommend her.
