Doggie Days With Nina

Pet care experience

I've worked with all types of breeds. Schooling as a vet tech, working at dog facilities, I have and know what it takes to be the best sitter. Diet and exercise is a must, long walks, conversation and building a special bond is key. I give sub-qs and also administer meds if needed. I don't see a dog as a dog, I see them as humans, I understand dog language and signs of what is being asked. I have a huge park right across the street, I'll give bath (if needed), comb fur, clip nails & clean teeth. Why I love dog sitting I have always has a passion for both dogs and cats. Growing up I would find stray dogs and cats lure them to my house, feed them my plate of food and sacrifice not eating, just so I know that they ate. About my yard I have a nice big, cemented back yard, fenced with plenty of play place. Dogs can run around freely and feel as if at at a park or play place. In the summer I have a dog pool to keep cool (dogs love it)! My experience administering medication I'm 100% comfortable administering medication, I'm a certified vet tech. & have 3yrs experience doing so.

Nina was amazing and available on short notice. She took lots of pictures and kept us well informed the whole time. I would highly recommend Nina to anyone looking to ensure their dog(s) are well taken care of. Thanks again for your help this past weekend.

My little Koko and Kahj had such a fabulous stay at Nina's! It was their own little retreat, a home away home! Ok, so where do I begin?!? I had to find someone who was pleasant, compassionate, fun, responsible, vivacious and who was willing to accommodate us on such short notice....Nina not only suited the criteria wonderfully, but she exceeded beyond my expectations. Meet and greet was a breeze, it was love at first sight for my pups! They had natural chemistry with her, as though Nina was a second me! From updated pictures/texts, to unlimited belly rubs, ear scratches, poochy kisses, to prompt, organized timeliness and care, Nina's services were absolutely superb. If we could give her 100 Stars, we would! Want someone who's discipline, but fun? Down to earth, but professional? A friend who is like family? Nina G. is your top quality candidate. She is an individual who does the unexpected and unrequested, and does things far prior to being asked...While on walks, Kahj & Koko didn't just walk, they went swinging on the swing set at the park...When they got tired of the meals I packed for them, Nina prepared something fresh and tasty that my little babies would devour...When they were ill, she administered the proper medication that was issued...Kahj and Koko even volunteered to be models for her lovely little daughter for dress up time, lol...Nina took them along for car rides when she needed to run errands... gave them a nice rub-a-dub bath & groom...needed nail trimmings.... and even a nightly bedtime tuck-in with warm snuggles, hugs and kisses, as well as baby blankets that she herself supplied :) She never left their side, and was attentive to their needs 27/7 literally! They stayed for 7 days. Upon my arrival, Kahj & Koko didn't want to leave! And when we all returned home, I thought I was the one who missed my vacation retreat, however my 2 little ones were Nina-homesick! They sat by the door, waiting to return back to Nina's home! She was so thoughtful and sent them home with a nice little care package of goodies :))) Nina is truly a delight, I highly recommend her and her lovely services! We will definitely be back and continue to be clients of hers. She is a remarkable, reliable, flexible and exciting individual. It was such a pleasure to meet her and her adorable little family. Nina will do exactly as she implies, she sees your baby(s) as a human, and not a dog! With her extensive experience with dogs, she also makes great suggestions for home remedies, and answers any question or concern you may have. Her lovely household is a home away from home just for your fur baby(s). You can be sure your pooch will be in the best hands, with marvelous Nina. A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thank you so so so much!!! Xox, Brittaney, Koko and Kahj

Information Nina G. would like to know about your pet

I always ask if your pet has allergies to specific foods or treats. What his daily schedule is like, to make him feel like it's at home.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Walking dogs I usually always go to the park right across the street, while on our walk I like to stop by the playground, put the dogs on the swings, let them relax and just enjoy life to the fullest Your dog's sleeping arrangement I have a pretty big size apartment I usually allow visitors to sleep wherever they feel comfortable, either that be the empty room, living room, dining room, or even my room. I live for them to feel welcomed and like at home. Time I'll spend with your dog Since I'm a stay at home mom, I'm with your pet the majority of the day, except when picking up and dropping off my kids to school.
