Highlights
Pet care experience
Vet Experienced Pet Care Pro
I have 26 years of experience caring for pets in shelters, boarding facilities, training environments, and veterinary settings. I’ve had the privilege of working with animals of all ages, personalities, and needs, and I truly enjoy building trust with each one. My approach is calm, patient, and gentle, with a focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We cannot recommend Nina highly enough! Finding someone we truly trust with our dogs is always a challenge, especially since our Pit/Retriever mix struggles with anxiety. Nina didn't just care for our pups; she treated them with the utmost respect and went completely above and beyond to keep our anxious boy calm while boarded. The peace of mind she gave us was invaluable. She regularly sent us pictures of herself going right into his kennel to give him extra love, which completely reassured us that he was happy and doing well while we were away. Nina is a rare find, and we are so grateful for the genuine love and patience she shows our fur babies!
Nina is absolutely the best with our dogs! She cares for them as if they were her own, and we know they are well loved when they are with her. Every time I tell our Doberman he is going to see Nina, he gets excited. I think he is happier with her than me (and he definitely gives her more kisses)!
I worked with Nina as my manager at a dog boarding, grooming, and rescue facility. Nina was always very attentive to the animals and always made sure that families were comfortable with the boarding choices. In our peak season, our facility had over 100 animals. Even though we were very well-staffed, Nina was there almost every day, all day, to make sure that every pet was taken care of. If there were any medical issues with animals, she would stay after her long, busy days to make sure that they were taken to the vet, taken care of, and stress-free. She would more often than not give her personal phone number out rather than the office phone number to make sure families were always able to reach her. I think Nina knew every dog's name that ever boarded there and made a great connection with all of the animals and families. My personal dog was very nervous with people, but when I brought him into work, Nina made sure to make a connection with him and made sure that he was comfortable. He always loved to see her. I always appreciated how attentive she was to him. Banner was later diagnosed with end-stage liver failure when he was four, and even though I didn't work with her anymore, she always texted me to make sure that we were doing okay. Nina was also in charge of our training. She is very knowledgeable about proper positive reinforcement training methods. Nina always came in with a smile on her face and enjoyed all of the puppy kisses. Nina would be a great fit for this job. She is very loving, attentive, and honest.

Schedule
Pet care fits well into my routine, as I work at a veterinary office daily until 5 PM. I am available for evening visits, walks, and drop-in care during the week, and overnight care is also available on weekdays as long as I am able to attend my work shift the following day. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent, reliable, and attentive care.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide pet care exclusively in my client’s home to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment and daily routine. I follow each owner’s specific instructions closely, including feeding, walking, litter box care, medication administration, and enrichment time. I also monitor behavior and overall wellbeing, paying attention to any changes that may need prompt communication with the owner. My goal is to provide calm, consistent, and attentive care while maintaining the pet’s normal routine.
Pets
A typical day
Every pet deserves fun, enrichment, and plenty of attention! I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, hide-and-seek, and engaging in interactive games that keep pets mentally stimulated. For cats, I love using wand toys, laser pointers, and providing gentle playtime and affection. I always tailor activities to each pet’s age, personality, and energy level, making sure they stay happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away.
