Safety, trust & environment

My dog has free range in my home (her bed and the couch are her favorite spots), but am comfortable with crating, using pee pads and baby gates if need be, whatever your routine is! If I am pet sitting in your home, I generally stay in the areas where your pet frequents and will be respectful of your space.

Information Nina F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what quirks and habits your dog has! Are they friendly with other dogs? Are there certain things we should avoid? And of course any medications or special routines that are unique to them. Feeding schedule, daily walks, etc.

A typical day

I will love on your pets, talk to them and be goofy with them. I love exploring new places with my dog and taking her to her favorite spots, so I am happy to do the same with yours! My neighborhood is very walkable - I live near a big park with trails close by.

Full-time animal lover

Pet care experience

I was raised with pets in the home all my life including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and fish. I love all animals - scaly, feathered and furry! I have a rescue German short-haired pointer/blue heeler mix who I have had for about 12 years and she is my child. I have cared for cats, birds, reptiles, fish, small mammals, and dogs with breeds including Golden Retrievers, Daschunds, Mini Chihuahuas, Huskies, Maltipoos, Pitbulls, German Shepherds and Boxers, from puppies to seniors. I also volunteer with the local animal shelters. My first priority is your pet’s well-being and safety. I will make sure that they are spoiled and treated just like my own!

Nina took care of my 11 year old dog for 5 days and it was a wonderful experience! She communicated well, was always on time for walks, and when I got home my dog seemed very happy and well taken care of. Totally recommend!

We’re so grateful to Nina for being able to watch our boys last minute over Memorial Day weekend! And they loved her :)

Nina has been very reliable to take my dog on daily walks. She is prompt and very caring. I love the photos she sends back every day.

Nina did a fabulous job with my nervous and reactive dog, she was very patient with her and got her to warm up very quickly. I really appreciated how communicative she was and all the pics she sent. Would definitely book again!
