Pet care experience
Your Dog Called—They Want Me Back
I grew up caring for five dogs at once, each with unique personalities and needs. As the eldest, I was responsible for their care, which gave me early, hands-on experience managing multiple pets. That continued as I began babysitting for families and caring for their pets as well. I’m attentive, adaptable, and comfortable with a variety of breeds and temperaments. This early experience gave me a solid foundation in pet care, and I’ve continued that passion by offering boarding and doggy daycare in my own pet-friendly apartment. I share my home with my dog-loving boyfriend, who works 9–5, so while he’s away, I’m always the primary caregiver. This ensures that pets receive consistent attention and care throughout the day. Our apartment is not only pet-friendly but also a welcoming space, as we’re excited to eventually welcome a dog of our own. *** Before requesting a booking, please note that I live in a very pet-friendly apartment building where dogs and children are often present in the hallways and elevators. There is also a friendly older dog on my floor. Because of this environment, I can only host dogs that are comfortable and non-aggressive when passing other dogs and children in shared areas.***

Ratings and reviews
I needed a sitter last minute for my dog and managed to find Nina. She’s friendly and professional, She took amazing care of Ziggy,she kept me updated throughout the day and it was a really good match. She took him on walks and played with him he was very happy and tired when I picked him up I will be booking with her again.
Nina is fantastic. She took care of our anxious pup with care and patience. She kept us informed with photos and videos. Highly recommended.
Nina was excellent! Great communication & updates which helped me feel at ease.
Nina is truly the best dog sitter you could ever ask for. She took incredible care of my dogs, Mochi and Powder, and treated them like they were her own. From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving, responsible hands. Nina is attentive, patient, and genuinely cares about animals. She made sure Mochi and Powder were happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and she kept me updated with photos and videos which I really appreciated. When I came back, my dogs were calm, content, and clearly adored her. If you’re looking for someone you can fully trust with your pets, Nina is your girl! I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have her watch Mochi and Powder again — highly, highly recommend!
Nina has been helping me with my dog.Jack, for about 3 years now. I work extremely long hours and for my pitty he loves to play outside and being left home alone was not okay with me. Nina came in and they automatically grew a connection. The excitement my dog has with her is so sweet and pure. She is always available when I need her especially with my crazy work schedule!!!! I have full trust in her with Jack and will continue to use her help! She is so sweet and perfect for anyone looking for someone to love their furry pup as much as they do!!!
Nina is a gem ! I was in a bind 4 years ago with no sitter for my 2 dogs and my brother's 1 dog, and she was a true god send! The 3 dogs and I met nina twice before their potential 8 day vacation stay with her, and they connected beautifully. I felt very comfortable leaving them in her hands during my trip. Nina was a great communicator throughout their stay. She reassured me with pictures and videos of how well my dogs were doing. Ever since then, Nina has been a constant help for my brother and I, with either day sitting or over night stays. My dogs adores her! One of the many things I appreciate about Nina is that she respects and abides their routine and diet restrictions. She takes them to dog parks, multiple walks, and cooks their food. Your fur babies will fall in love with her like we did !

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I prefer caring for pets in my own home, where I have a large apartment, full availability, and plenty of time to devote to companionship and enrichment. I spend most of my time at home, so pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent attention throughout the day. I live in an active, dog-friendly neighborhood right next to a popular park, which allows for regular walks, stimulation, and outdoor time. I truly miss having pets at home and love being able to provide a comfortable, engaging environment with lots of one-on-one care.
A typical day
I love staying active, so pets in my care enjoy daily walks, especially at the nearby park. We spend time outdoors running errands together, staying stimulated and active, and when we’re indoors, there’s plenty of cuddles, playtime, and one-on-one attention.
