Availability

I love and appreciate when my pet parents write out simple instructions of what their pups feeding amounts and routines are as well as anything they think I should be aware of like food allergies or sensitivities. That way I can easily keep track and no treats are given that may upset tummy. Also where they normally like to sleep when they’re at home. Knowing their routine helps me get to know them better! 🥰

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully enclosed yard with a 6 foot chain link fence all the way around and there are no places to escape from our yard. We have 4 sweet dogs that will keep your pup company during their stay. You are welcome to bring a blanket or bed for your pup (at your own risk) Please don’t bring an expensive one as there’s a risk of getting chewed, torn, or peed on etc by other dogs at daycare. We have beds so you don’t have to bring one unless you would like to. This is their little vacation and we do our best to make it a great one for them 🥰🐾

Information Nina S. would like to know about your pet

Dogs MUST be friendly and not aggressive towards other dogs, Timid/shy is absolutely fine, I am even willing to socialize dogs but for the safety of the other dogs I care for I cannot take any aggressive dogs. I am more than happy to meet with you to see if your pup is a good fit ahead of time as well as assess whether I can help with socializing them. Thank you for understanding!

A typical day

I enjoy keeping their routine and regular cuddles, rubs and playing fetch etc., whatever activities they're into is what we will try to do We have also had pups who prefer to just sleep and keep to themselves mostly and that's just fine too! I have a separate area for my lazy seniors to just let them hang out and snooze or chill ❤️

Pet care experience

I'm a mom of precious rescued pups myself and I've cared for animals for more than half of my life including volunteering my time at shelters, fostering dogs/cats until they found wonderful homes, and working with them to help socialize them with other animals. I’ve been with Rover now for 8 years and have loved working with my clients and their furry loved ones!

Nina continues to just pull thru at the highest levels for my cats. I couldn’t be more happy with her communication and follow thru- highly recommend giving Nina an opportunity to take care of your pets!

Nina goes above and beyond. This time she took care of ants in the house. My cats love her visits. I highly recommend Nina!

My cats have been noticeably less stressed since having Nina drop in when I’m outa town. Nina stays sometimes longer than contracted and sends updates and tons of photos, makes my time away from home that much more easy. 100% would recommend giving Nina an opportunity to take care of your pet children!
