Pet care experience

Previous dog owner, now dog nanny

I’ve owned, trained and raised two dogs (who are no longer here 😢) love dogs and will treat them like my own! I love to take dogs on walks along the waterfront, to dog parks (if ok), and give lots of love/cuddles/pets. I’ll send frequent updates with pictures. I’m also a big proponent of mental stimulation for dogs; eg, will let them sniff everything they want to sniff on walks (no eating scraps on the ground though!), playing with their toys, and, as long as you are comfortable, happy to bring them into the city or other places for change of scenery. Flexible to your preferences, so please let me know when booking how you’d like your dog to be cared for.

Nina was fantastic! Louie was very well taken care of and got lots of cuddles, playtime, and walks. She even brushed him while we were away, which I really appreciated, especially since he’s a Pomeranian. She also communicated very well and kept us updated with videos and pictures throughout his stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Louie was all smiles with her, and I highly recommend her! I will definitely be booking with her again in the future.

We used Nina for the second time to watch our dog Snowy, and once again she did an amazing job! While we were away, she kept us updated with videos, pictures, and fun story updates of all their adventures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Snowy was having a great time and was well cared for. We truly appreciate the love and attention she gives, and we would absolutely trust her again with our dog. Highly recommend!

Nina watched over our Shiba for 8 days and she was fantastic! She was consistent with her updates and even wrote a little summary of her walks which was nice to read while we were out of town. We felt at ease knowing our Snowy was being cared by Nina! Highly recommend. Will book again in the future.

A typical day

I can take your dog out for walks up to 3 times a day along the waterfront walkway right in front of my apartment. It has multiple dog parks for your dog to play in, or if not preferred, happy to give it solitary walks with lots of greenery and plants to smell.
