House Sitting • Dec 27, 2025

Great! Nina was exceptional at stepping in for a last minute save. She made me feel comfortable right away staying with my dogs, and took great care of them. I had daily updates, she asked questions to check on things, and provided pictures. My dogs were super happy when we came back. One dog seemed to maybe miss her and sat by the door? She had a friend stay with her who was also very nice. I would use her help again in a heartbeat.

Nina would make a great candidate because she is very dependable, caring, loving, as well as being very communicative. I have seen firsthand her ability to care for dogs of different sizes and breeds, and can say with full confidence that any dog would be in great hands should she be chosen for the opportunity. In knowing Nina, I have come to know how determined she is and how much attention she devotes to the things that she loves. (Dogs being one of those things.) All in all, I think Nina makes the perfect candidate because of her well-rounded nature paired with her vibrant personality.

I want to give Nina the highest recommendation for your company. Nina’s interactions with my German Shepard mix, Oakley, and Great Pyrenees/Lab mix Bailey are great. She reads the dog’s energy, allows them to greet her and interacts in accordance to their energy. Our dogs are large breed dogs and they typically have high and are strong. Are can call out a command and they listen. She is loving, and enjoys their company as much as they love hers. It’s important to us to have someone who loves our fur babies as much as we do!

Pets

A typical day

I love to play games with your dogs, and take them on long walks around the park or just around your neighborhood! I am a big fan of mentally stimulating puzzles for dogs as well.

Nina can host up to 1 pet per night
My preference for dog breeds in my own apartment are hypo-allergenic dogs, however, I have no preference for breeds within a client's home. Let me know how many walks your dog needs and how much time you usually spend out of the house each day, so I know what your pet expects.
