Your Furbaby's New Best Friend

Pet care experience

For 31 years I have cared for furry kids as a Veterinary Assistant, Groomer and Sitter; from my fur-brothers and sisters, neices/nephews & everything in between I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies. You won't have to worry about them being sad, I will care for them as if they were my own. I have no pets or children of my own at this time, so I will do my best not to spoil them. I have a fenced in front, side and back yards to keep all babies safe. I do not believe in letting fur kids play unattended, I keep a watchful eye to make sure they do not encounter any dangers. I also am not a huge fan of crating animals, but will do so at the request of the client, only during bedtime if needed.

Nina was heaven sent. She gave my dog her undivided attention on a week vacation. She kept me up on his daily schedules. I appreciated her daily pictures and updates. She was very flexible with drop off times. If you need someone who loves dogs, don’t hesitate to use Nina. We appreciate You! Thanks ??

I really appreciated that Ms. Nina only watched one pet at a time, and was able to focus all of her attention on just the one dog as opposed to a sitter who watches many dogs. Since my little Chihuahua mix, Eyore, is elderly, he required quite a bit of care, but she didn’t mind at all. Although she doesn’t currently have any pets, which was also a plus, again she was able to focus all of her attention and tend to the needs of only one pet. Ms. Nina was a professional in every way, i.e. her daily communications, her frequent pictures and status updates, her expectations and requested clarification of mine. She took EXCELLENT care of my precious little Eyore and I highly recommend her services. I can’t stress how important it is to have a sitter who really and truly does care for your dog and only wants to ensure he is perfectly safe, comfortable and well taken care of in your absence. She doesn’t just say she cares, because it sounds good, Ms. Nina says what she means and means what she says. She was very respectful, very professional and especially kind, understanding and compassionate toward the special needs of my old little dog; and she really did go above and beyond to make sure my dog was well taken care of and his needs attended to. I can’t thank her enough for her compassion, genuine concern and love for animals like they were her own. Again she sent me multiple pictures and maintained frequent status updates throughout the day to ensure I knew he was absolutely safe and secure. He’s a rescue and suffers from separation anxiety real bad, so I was very worried, but she kept my mind at ease. And I am truly grateful and appreciative for the EXCELLENT 100 STARS PLUS service my little precious Eyore received under her care. Ms. Nina sets a standard for excellence as a dog sitter that I have never seen in any other dog sitter I have been to yet. I appreciate and value her spirit of EXCELLENCE, and I sincerely appreciate and value her as a person who truly loves and cares for animals, especially your dog, under her care. Peace of mind has a price tags you can’t put a value on and that’s exactly what you receive when you leave your pet with her … peace of mind … and the assurance that your fur baby is under the best possible care available. She is far worth more than her fee and I highly recommend her as a pet sitter. Ms. Nina truly is an EXCELLENT dog sitter and I highly recommend her services.
