Pet care experience

Flexible and experienced!

I travel too much to have animals of my own. That's why I'll be more than glad to take care of your pets and home. I am responsible, tidy, friendly, and happy to help with all sorts of chores. I have lots of energy for many walks but am also happy snuggling on the couch watching Netflix with a furry friend! I currently work as a telehealth therapist and have the freedom to work from anywhere as long as there is working wifi and a confidential room! I can stop by for morning or evening walks or feeding, or work from your place and provide attention throughout the day. I've been professionally pet sitting for more than 10 years. At your place, I will take good care and am happy to bring in mail, water plants etc. I am very conscious about the unique needs of each animal and will prioritize your house and pet rules. I happen to be a bit of an amateur dog portrait photographer, and am happy to send portraits during my stay!

Nina did an incredible job with our 9 year-old German Pinscher, Pepper. Nina was very accommodating on short notice over a holiday weekend and was extremely communicative in setting up an initial meet and greet and throughout the weekend. I would absolutely have no hesitation in recommending Nina, and plan to use her to watch Pepper again when we leave town.

Nina was a life saver for us when we had some last minute holiday travel and our usual sitter was unavailable. We have an anxious rescue who takes a while to warm up to strangers and she was patient, kind, and understanding when he had some accidents in the first few days we were gone. She was able to win him over and soon enough he was snuggling with her on the couch every evening! She was super communicative, sending us consistent photo and video updates so we knew he was doing well. She also left our home super tidy at the end of her stay. Would highly recommend Nina to anyone and hope to have her sit for our pup again in the future!!

Nina was so amazing with Kairo. Very communicative and sent many pictures. Kairo looked so content and comfortable. We will definitely be reaching out to Nina for every trip away.

We just returned home from a week+ away to find our dog, Otis, very happy and calm - a big change from his usual boarding situation. It is clear that he LOVED his time with Nina! Despite the fact that we have had Otis for 10 years, this was the first time we had left him with someone in our home when we went out of town. Clearly, we should have made the move sooner. Can't wait to find another time to have Nina back! Book her if you can!!

Nina was so wonderful with my senior pup, asked great questions and made me feel so comfortable knowing she'd take great care of Phoebe. I'm looking forward to asking Nina to sit again! 10/10 highly recommend

Schedule

I can be very flexible with scheduling - home stays or daily visits, feeding or walks are equally manageable for me, and I'd be particularly excited about recurring visits so I can get to know and have a relationship with your pet!

Safety, trust & environment

Im happy to board pets in my apartment with my roommate and his new puppy, Sujukh, in midcity. Sujukh is very docile and good with all other dogs and loves to have a buddy around. I don't have a yard so I make walks and outdoor time a definite priority. In your home, I am very intentional with your space, animals, and rules. I understand how important your home and furry family members are to your wellness and I take safety and communication seriously!

Pets

A typical day

I'd love to bring your dog to the dog park, play fetch, tug of war or hide and seek! Because my job requires me to be home most of the day, I also have all the time for snuggly pets who's prefer to just relax at home.

Let me know if your pet has any allergies, injuries, scared or aggressive behavior beforehand and I am happy to accommodate their specific needs. I'm happy to reinforce new training behaviors and work very well with skiddish or anxious pets!
