Availability
I am a full-time dog trainer with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be home throughout the day. Dogs in my care are not left alone for long stretches and can receive consistent attention, timely potty breaks, enrichment, and supervision. I’m able to accommodate boarding, daycare, walking, and drop-in visits throughout the week, with flexibility to meet your dog’s individual routine.

About Nina C.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I take a calm, thoughtful approach to care and tailor activities to each dog’s physical and emotional needs. Depending on your preferences and your dog’s comfort level, care may include neighborhood walks, decompression hikes, enrichment games, or light training and strength exercises. I focus on engagement without overstimulation and always prioritize consent-based, low-stress handling. I use high-quality treats to reinforce calm, confident behavior and can accommodate dietary needs.
Home
Information Nina C. would like to know about your pet
I require a meet and greet before the first booking to ensure a good fit for everyone involved. For short-notice requests, please keep this in mind. It’s important for me to know about any behavioral considerations (such as reactivity to dogs or people), medical conditions, mobility limitations, or special handling needs. This information allows me to plan appropriately and provide care that keeps your dog safe, comfortable, and supported.
A typical day
I love to provide dogs in my care with plenty of enrichment, games, and unique walking experiences. While a neighborhood walk is always an option, a hike or meandering walk in the park is usually more fun for the dog!

Certified Trainer, Thoughtful Care
Pet care experience
I bring over 15 years of professional experience in veterinary medicine and pet care. My background includes work in pet boarding facilities as well as multiple veterinary hospitals, including general practice, emergency, and specialty care. I am Fear Free Certified at the Elite level and a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) through the CCPDT. This allows me to care for dogs with a wide range of needs, from high-energy dogs who thrive with structure and enrichment, to sensitive or medically complex dogs who require thoughtful handling and close observation. My approach is grounded in welfare, low-stress care, and clear communication, so dogs feel safe, understood, and supported while they’re with me.
