Pet-sitting is my full-time gig, so I have plenty of flexibility around my standing dog-walking appointments! Contact me to find out if I have a time slot or availability that will work for you. :)

About Nina M.

Safety, trust & environment
I will keep your home tidy and neat when I visit, as if I haven't been there. I'm happy to refill food/water, bring in mail or packages, and crate or gate your pup if needed before I leave. Just let me know what you need!
Information Nina M. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has any special "quirks," I want to know! Reactive to men in hats? Obsessed with chasing bikes? Doesn't like having their ears touched? I've seen it all, so nothing will surprise me. The more I know, the better I can prepare!
A typical day
Each dog has different needs. Whether it's an easy stroll or a faster-paced walk, I allow lots of time for sniffing and taking in the world around us. I carry treats during walks and work in fun training to keep your dog engaged. Back home, we can play fetch, tug, learn tricks, or just chill! And I always make sure to send a fun photo or two of our time together.

Pet care experience
One of my favorite things about dogs is how each one is unique! I take the time to learn each dog's likes, dislikes, triggers, and quirks. I've been a dog-walking volunteer at Speranza Animal Rescue for over two years, where I walk dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I'm also a dog training nerd, and I'm always excited to share training and enrichment ideas with my clients. My own dog of 14 years struggled with reactivity, which sparked my passion for learning about dog behavior. I believe in the importance of building a relationship with each dog. I also have experience with senior dogs and giving medication. Whether your dog is a nervous nelly, a rambunctious rascal, or something in-between, I tailor each walk or drop-in to meet your dog's needs!

Reviews

Nina did an amazing job watching my dog. She was responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with her. I especially appreciated the photo updates—this was a huge plus and gave me total peace of mind. I would absolutely trust Nina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog sitter.
Nina is amazing. Her kind & trustworthy nature is something that you can’t put a price on when it comes to our pets. She was prompt, gave constant updates, and someone I would trust with my baby any time she’s there. I would recommend her 100 times over. Gus & I are so grateful!
Nina is the best! She has pet-sitted for us for many years through 2 difficult dogs, taking great care of them. We have 3 other family dogs who have visited when Nina was caring for our dogs and she managed all of them together. She has stayed at our house with all the dogs and still managed to keep the house spotless! Nina is always our firsst choice for pet-sitting. We know our dogs will always be in good hands.
