Lifelong Animal Lover You Can Trust

I have been around and caring for animals my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of pets and their individual needs. I’ve had many different types of animals of my own, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, and more, and I’ve also regularly cared for pets belonging to friends, family, neighbors, and multiple families. I’ve cared for households with anywhere from one to three pets at a time and am comfortable following specific feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications or special instructions, and each pet’s individual personality and needs. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. I’m responsible, attentive, patient, and always want the pets in my care to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I’m very attentive and will follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. Since my schedule is so open, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention rather than rushing through a visit. I’m also happy to spend extra time with them if they need companionship, exercise, or reassurance. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

Nina is truly one of the most caring, trustworthy, and dependable people we have ever had care for our family and our pets. We originally met Nina as a babysitter for our two children, and she quickly became someone we trusted completely. She is responsible, attentive, communicative, and genuinely goes above and beyond to make sure everyone in her care is happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. Because we trust Nina so much, we have also relied on her for overnight stays at our home, housesitting, and now pet sitting for our two dogs, Benny, our Saint Bernard, and Tito, our Chihuahua. Despite their very different personalities and needs, Nina is wonderful with both of them and treats them like they are her own. She is incredibly patient, loving, and attentive, and we always feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. One of the things we appreciate most about Nina is her communication. She keeps us updated, is very responsive, and always makes sure we know how everything is going while we are away. She is also extremely responsible and respectful of our home and our routines. We cannot recommend Nina enough! She is someone we trust wholeheartedly with our children, our home, and especially our dogs. Anyone who has Nina care for their pets is truly lucky to have her!

Schedule

I’m currently in my last semester of college, and my class schedule is very flexible with plenty of time between classes. I also work a flexible part-time job that I can easily schedule around pet care. Because of this, I have a very open schedule and can make myself available for my clients with advance notice. I’m able to stop by multiple times throughout the day, including before or after classes and during breaks, for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, or simply some extra company. I can be very flexible with drop-ins, walks, sitting, and boarding, and I’m happy to work around whatever routine is best for each pet.

Before caring for a pet, I really appreciate having written-out instructions about their normal routine and anything you would like me to know or complete while they are in my care. I think it’s especially important to know about things like medications, feeding schedules, exercise routines, behavioral quirks, allergies, or any special care your pet may need. Having this information ahead of time allows me to properly prepare, learn anything I may need to know, and make sure I can follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. My goal is to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible for both you and your pet!
