Pet care experience

I have grown up with at least 2 dogs in my household at any given time (7 total), and have always had a passion for animals care and animal rights. I have had animals from all different backgrounds such as from breeders, shelters and even a stray so I am understanding to the fact that all dogs do need different types of care and have different personalities. Although I have never worked with an animal service I know I will be the right fit for you and your dog! Sometimes I like dogs more than people, because dogs really are women's best friend! I am very flexible with my schedule since the majority of the time I work from home. I look forward to getting to know you and your dog!

Absolutely fantastic pet sitter! Communication was excellent, and I felt at ease knowing my furbabies were getting loved and cared for while we were away. Nina exceeded all expectations. Trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals. I returned home to happy pets and a spotless house. Couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend for anyone in need of reliable and caring pet sitting services

Nina did daily walks for our dog while we were away. Our dog loved her and was excited to see her each day. Great communication and responsiveness. We will definitely be calling Nina again!

Safety, trust & environment

Once the dog/cat is ok to come up to me I typically like to show the pet a lot of love when I first arrive, help them to be comfortable with me as their temporary care taker and hope to fill the void of their family being away. I do have my own treats if needed to help gain the dogs love through food (because who doesn’t love food). I try to treat each animal like my own but also understand that like people, all animals have their own personalities. Get to know them like you would a person, and respect them like you want to be respected yourself.

Information Nina K. would like to know about your pet

I just like to know if there are any special behaviors I should know about! For example, my dog is anxious and vocal around other dogs but warms up once he meets them. Just makes it easier so I can take personal care of each animal I care for.

A typical day

Like I said above I start with lots of love (mainly belly and behind the ear rubs). Take them out and let them sniff around for a minute and do their business. If the community has a dog park I love to take the dogs in there to play and let off some steam! Otherwise we take a nice walk and then head back inside to play with toys, more pets, be fed etc. i will usually try to follow any special instructions provided by the owner.
