Your furbaby's home away from home
Pet care experience
My family had a toy poodle growing up that I was in charge of raising and training when he was a baby. I now have a 5yo chiweenie named Moose who loves other small/medium sized dogs, and I've been pet sitting for friends and family for about 8 years now. I have had dogs of all sizes and personalities at home and they bring so much joy into my life <3 I'm also happy to come to your home if needed.
About Nimisha N.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
If at my home with my dog: My dog is up-to-date with his vaccinations and, because of a particular allergy, sees the vet once a month - so no concerns from him. My home is set up to be pet-safe. There's nothing dangerous that a small/medium dog can reach, get into, or run into. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and there are plenty of toys for them to play with - moose doesn't mind sharing :) If I'm in a client's home: I make sure to pay attention to any specifications about how you want your space to be treated and operate with the utmost respect for your space. I suggest we meet for an interview before we solidify the booking so you know who I am and you feel comfortable having me in your space. Routine/schedule/health: I make sure they stick to their regular feeding and walking routine - whatever you tell me they need. I pay close attention to their health patterns and make sure to communicate any concerns. And I always make sure we have access to veterinary services if needed. Communication: I try to share updates with clients throughout my time with their dogs and ask questions rather than assume if I do have a concern. I want you to feel assured that your furbaby is in good hands and being loved as well as they would be at home <3

Information Nimisha N. would like to know about your pet
I definitely want to know when they typically go out to pee, go for a walk, if they are allergic to anything, and if they have any injuries! I also like to know if they do better on-leash or off-leash. If dogs are in my home, I would love to know how they do with other dogs - my dog Moose is at home with me and is chill but I can always separate them if needed.
A typical day
I love to make sure they get enough play and rest, especially if it's their first time with me. For most dogs (depending on age range), it's really important that they get enough sleep, so I try to make sure they get some good exercise and keep an eye out to make sure they are settling down and napping too. We also love to venture over to Loring Park or Minnehaha Dog Park and hang out at the dog run with friends!

Availability
I work from my apartment on a flexible schedule 4 days a week and am already in a rhythm of alternating between work and taking my dog out to go to the bathroom or taking a walk. We always do at least one solid walk around Loring Park every day, and sometimes add another one with a trip to the dog park. We're also very comfortable just cuddling up at home, so happy to adapt to your furbaby's personality! Because of my work flexibility, I can also pop out to take your dog for a walk or visit them whenever you need. If I'm house-sitting at your place, I can work from there and maintain your dog's regular schedule so they can experience a sense of stability while you're away.
