Hello! My name is Nina, I have lived in San Francisco for 10+ years and work in Public Health. I have a cat named Pickles, I've raised more than 10 dogs, and have a genuine love for animals. I grew up with many animals (dogs, chickens, and a variety of rodents!) in both an urban and a farm setting. The best summer of my life was when my dog, Bambi, had 10 puppies! Through caring for my own dogs, and the pets of friends, family, and clients, I have experience working with animals of all kinds. This includes: Dogs: -Of all sizes and ages, including puppies who nip and aren't housebroken and senior dogs who prefer leisurely strolls -Who have (separation) anxiety, and are nervous around new folks -Who are on an oral or topical medication regimen Cats: -Of all ages, from kitten to senior. -Who are anxious of new folks (my cat is very nervous around people!), and perhaps hissy/bitey/swipey -Cuddly cats that need lots of snuggles and play time! I know it can be nerve-racking to leave your pet with another person, but I will care for your animal like it's my very own and will provide you with consistent updates (including adorable pictures of course). I look forward to meeting you and your animals soon!
