Experienced animal whisperer
Pet care experience
I moved to Honolulu to begin my PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology at UH Manoa in 2020. I've been a Boulder Humane Society volunteer in Boulder, Colorado and foster mom for since I was 14 (for dogs from 3 days to 16 years old) and a dog lover/whisperer all my life. I'm a trained pet psychic with a particular talent with stressed and nervous dogs. I've yet to find a dog of any kind I don't love, and most dogs love me too. I have found that dogs appreciate my calm energy and even the most skittish of dogs tend to warm up to me quickly. I love to read and cuddle but also I'm pretty good at chase and long hikes. I also have experience caring for cats of all ages and levels of health, due to fostering and volunteering at the Humane Society and cat sitting as one of my first jobs in middle school.
Reviews
Fabulous as always! Takes such good care of our pup! We will Miss Nina!
Nina was fantastic! Our poor little dogs miss her so much! Thanks Nina!
Nina does a great job of staying with and looking after our cat and an equally great job of staying in touch with us while we’re gone. She even successfully gave our cat a pill, a one-person job we haven’t accomplished. We’ve had her cat-sit before and we will ask her again!
Nina was fabulous as usual! Always keeps us posted with cute pics and is really communicative.

I do my best to not push your pet's boundaries while still providing them with the care they need (e.g. I will fill your kitty's food bowl, but I won't make him come out from under the bed if he doesn't wanna)

Information Nina A. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs big and little, and I think it's always important to go into a visit knowing how best to make the dog comfortable and safe
A typical day
I love hiking on trails and exploring the island. I'm always in the mood to meet a new friend to visit the beach and the mountains with me!
