Your Puppy's New Best Friend

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Nija; I am a pet owner and lover of over 20 years. Majority of my career experience is in customer service but I am more than ready to service your furry pals throughout the day. I have decades of experience with dogs, my first fur baby Brownie passed away last October from old age, she was with my family for 16 years. We have since welcomed an energetic and lovable labradoodle named Charlie into our home since we had so much love left to give. I've spent years with cats and dogs alike and occasionally volunteer at my local ASPCA. I am caring, patient, customer oriented small business woman and I can't wait to meet you and your pet. I will care for and love your pet as my own as well as provide excellent customer service along the way. I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Nice visit today with my timid dog, who’s just beginning to know Nija! Today Nija patiently walked her up and down the sidewalk and hung out on the front steps, all while interacting with her in such a friendly and patient way that by the end my pup had chilled out and seemed truly sorry to see her leave! Later we had a very calm evening walk with almost no pulling, and then she conked out for the night!

Happy dogs and a happy cat after several days with Nija housesitting. It is great to have this kind of peace of mind while away from the pets. Thanks Nija!

Nija was so great! She was able to help us out and watch our dog even with very late notice! Will definitely be using her again!

A typical day

I prefer providing fun and stimulating activities that cater to each dog's individual needs and preferences. Some of the fun activities I like to do with the dogs I watch include playing fetch, tug-of-war, and hide-and-seek. If a dog is more laid back, I'll spend time giving them extra belly rubs and cuddles. When it comes to walks, I like to mix it up and take the dogs on different routes to keep things interesting for them. I often choose parks, hiking trails, and other scenic locations where the dogs can explore and sniff to their hearts' content. Depending on the dog's energy level and socialization, I may also take them to a dog park or arrange a playdate with another friendly dog. Safety is always my top priority.
