Hi, I'm Nina! As a passionate lover of animals and a dedicated fur mom to a rambunctious pup and kitten of my own, I know how hard it is to leave your companions behind, even if it's only for the work day! Rest assured that they’ll receive the best care possible while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and health is my top priority! || My Services || I am available for: - Dog Walking/Running/Hiking - At-Home Visits - Medicine Administration - Grooming - Trick Practice || My Experience || I have owned and worked with dogs my whole life, and I have sitting experience with breeds of all sizes, temperaments, and age groups. This includes thorough knowledge of herding breeds; I previously owned a Border Collie and am now raising an Australian Shepherd. As for cats, I spent several years cat sitting for local neighbors, and within the past year, I finally adopted one of my own! Currently, we live in a house with three other feline friends, too, so I've become quite well-versed in all the quirks of cat care. In terms of medicine administration, I am able to assist with oral and topical medications on both cats and dogs. || My Process || - For all new clients, I prefer to schedule a Meet & Greet prior to the requested service. This provides the opportunity to meet both you and your pet to ensure everyone is comfortable with each other. (Please Note: in the case that a Meet & Greet is not possible, particularly with current COVID-19 restrictions, I am able to be flexible!) - Walks and runs will all be fulfilled in your local neighborhood unless otherwise requested. If you'd prefer your dog to be walked at a different location, please let me know! I'm well-versed in road trips with a canine companion, and I would be happy to be their chauffeur (where they will be safely and securely fastened in the back seat at all times). - As an avid hiker, I'd be thrilled to bring your dog to one of our many local state parks so they can explore the trails! While ticks are becoming less of a concern now that the weather grows colder, a tick check will still be performed at the conclusion of the walk to make sure your pet isn't bringing a new buddy home with them. - All items and surfaces touched during walks and drop-in visits will be carefully sanitized. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
