Highlights
Pet care experience
🐾 ♡ Dogs are people too! ♡ 🐾
My lifelong love for animals as well as my extensive experience caring for dogs (and cats) would make me a great sitter for yours. I grew up around dogs and cats (and currently have a cat named Gia who is my little darling), each of whom truly became part of my family both during and after their lives. As a result of that developed familiarity with and fondness for these animals I truly find pleasure in caring for them. My compassion and patience allow me to provide dogs and cats the care - balanced in tenderness and discipline - they need. Additionally, I have pet-sat for many families and friends since I was about 12 years old, the last 6.5 years of which have been through Rover. I also have personally rescued / adopted three cats in my adults life and have continually volunteered at and supported the SPCA. I am a bit of a homebody which means if I am pet-sitting for you, I would be spending a lot of time at your house with your pet(s).

Ratings and reviews
Nina did a fantastic job- our pups were happy and relaxed when we got home and it was everything one could hope for. We will be asking Nina to dogsit again!
Nina was excellent! She was very flexible with scheduling and so generous. She also was able to deal with a very young dog who just got out of the animal hospital after being very sick! After the first day Nina watched Nym, she was so tired out she finally slept in her crate and now has slept there every night since! I can’t thank you enough Nina for helping me along on this unpredictable journey with Nymeria!
Nina is a terrific pet care taker! She’s watched my tabby cat before on numerous occasions and I’ve always felt like Cece was in the best of hands! Highly recommend.
I have nothing but great things to say about Nina! Our dogs fell in love with her. She asked us lots of questions, sent us lots of "pupdates," and most importantly, gave our dogs lots of care and attention. One of our dogs is particularly difficult (distrusting of strangers and other dogs), and Nina was really excellent with him - he is very attached to her now, and waited by the door for hours when she went home. We will certainly rebook the next time we leave town!
Nina is wonderful and amazing and incredible! We have lots of pets- four dogs and two cats to be exact- and she is great with every single one of them. She walks our dogs regularly and they loooove when she visits. She is so great with them which we are really thankful for because they have all had traumatic pasts and can be skittish and nervous around new people. She has also pet sat for us in our home and she did an amazing job! It is no easy feat to manage so many pets but everyone was properly medicated and fed. And she sent updates and photos throughout the sitting gig which I really appreciated because it helped put me at ease and enjoy my trip. Bottom line- Nina is responsible and reliable and trustworthy and great with animals. I have already booked her for several more pet sitting gigs!
Nina was wonderful with our very timid and shy 70lb mutt, Oz :) Because he's so introverted, we prefer to have someone say with him in our home, and Nina treated both our pup and our place with care and respect! i would not hesitate to book Nina again.

Schedule
Currently I work part-time as the Academic Assistant at Bucknell University's Humanities Center, and am a single mom to my 5-year-old son who's in full-time kindergarten as well as my 8 year old cat Gia. My schedule is flexible and I'm able to accommodate most pet sitting requests. I do sometimes bring my son with me but that is always cleared with the client ahead of time!
