I am prompt with scheduling meet and greets so you and your pet get to know me as a familiar face before the first booking. I provide dog walking services and am able to do long walks/runs with your dog, but I do not off-leash services unless in the client's home or fenced yard and specifically requested by the client.

Information Nina K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what your dogs favorite things activities and treats are, what their personality is like, and if they have any medical/health needs or reactivity. I love getting to know and learn individual pup's personalities and watch their trust grow over time.

A typical day

I especially love long walks or runs with dogs, there's no better satisfaction than watching a dog be tired, relaxed, and happy after fulfilling mental enrichment and exercise. I love to play with the pups I watch especially ball tug, and basic training, along with lots of love and affection.

Flexible and high-quality dog care!

Pet care experience

I absolutely love dogs and grew up with them, and have experience walking and caring for both nonreactive and reactive dogs. I volunteered in an animal shelter for 4 years bottlefeeding newborn puppies, caring for young dogs (walking, playtime, basic training, kennel cough medication, bathing/tick treatment). I also owned a dog with complex medical issues (epilepsy and autoimmune) so I am experienced and detailed with medication schedules and specialized dog diets. I love to walk and run and am very active, I can't wait to meet your pet and provide them with the best care and attention! Fun fact: I adore all dogs, but have a soft spot for hounds as my first dog was a beagle!

Nina is amazing with our puppy Chewie. They've become best friends which is not common for our shy doggie. She's also very communicative, and helped us with some small miscellaneous house requests while we were away. Thanks Nina!

Nina is easily the most reliable, dependable, compassionate person to ever take care of my dog. Nina is always communicative and on top Margo's needs, and super flexible with timing to make sure our needs are met. Nina manages Margo's reactivity with consistency and ease. She is an absolute joy to work with and more than anything, Margo loves her and is always excited for their time together. Thank you for love and care Nina!!

Nina has been walking my dog twice a week for several months now and she has been amazing. She is very flexible and often is available for last minute walks when I’m out later than anticipated. She bonded very quickly with my dog who absolutely adores her and I feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. 100/10 definitely recommend booking with Nina for anyone looking for someone reliable, friendly, and patient!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
