Safety, trust & environment

I'm able to work remotely, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. I treat every home with respect and always leave it clean and tidy. I take the time to learn your pet's routine and provide attentive care, regular exercise, companionship, and lots of updates while you're away, so you can travel with peace of mind.

Information Nina D. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me about your pet's routine, personality, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioural considerations before booking. I want to know what makes your pet unique so I can provide the best possible care. The more information you share, the better I can keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I do my best to adapt to their individual routine and energy level. A typical day starts with a morning walk, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention before I settle in for work. Since I work remotely, I'm able to take regular breaks throughout the day for additional walks, potty breaks, enrichment, and quality time. For dogs who enjoy being social, I'm happy to include visits to a local dog park (with owner approval). For those who prefer a quieter pace, I'm just as happy spending time playing, exploring the neighbourhood, or relaxing together at home. My goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you're away.

Wildlife Filmmaker & Dog Mom 🐶❤️🐾

Pet care experience

As a self-employed wildlife filmmaker/photographer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, personalized care for your pets and home. I've spent more than 15 years as a devoted dog mom and am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. My first Boston Terrier, Hugo, lived to be 10 years old. During the final years of his life, he developed heart disease, which required frequent veterinary appointments, medication management, and close monitoring. That experience taught me how to care for senior and medically complex pets while maintaining a consistent routine and medication schedule. Today, I share my life with Moon, a Boston Terrier mix who has helped me gain experience with everything from daily training and exercise to the occasional health challenge that comes with pet ownership. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have experience with larger breeds as well. I regularly looked after my brother's 120 lb Cane Corso throughout his life, and I cared for a friend's 90 lb Siberian Husky for several months while she recovered from surgery. Through these experiences, I've become comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with both your pets and your home. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and strive to keep your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. Whether that means long walks, playtime, medication administration, or simply keeping them company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I can attend house sits on my own or, with owner approval, bring my friendly Boston Terrier mix Moon if your dog would enjoy having a playmate.

Nina came to watch over the house and dog sit for a few days and I could not be happier with the experience. I would recommend her to anybody looking for a house/dog-sitter.

Really amazing sitter who was super flexible, quick to communicate and friendly to work with. Very happy to have my dogs stay with her again.

Our shy and anxious boy Gus had a wonderful time with Moon and Nina. We received multiple photos which were appreciated. Nina did a meet and greet prior to our stay, and I was impressed with her questions to ensure Gus had the best experience. I would highly suggest you pick Nina (and Moon) to take care of your pooch!

I left my dog with Nina for a weekend and I can highly recommend her as a dog sitter! She has her own dog, so my dog had a great time playing and socializing more than she usually does at home😅 Nina frequently sent pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind throughout weekend.
