Dogs Are My Heart!!

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, training them and helping to socialize them with other animal, grooming and assisting in veterinary care/kennel technician as my first job. I’m currently employed Part-time as a Petsitting through Rover for my clients while they’re away. I have much experience with rescues, seniors & medical needs including diabetic dogs that require insulin administered. I truly enjoy being surrounded by dogs. They're the best medicine and I couldn't think of a better way to spend my life or my time than by caring for them while their owners are away! I love my job and want to make it as enjoyable and comfortable as possible for both you and your pup while you're baby is on their staycation ❤️ I will provide you with daily update photos to let you know how your pup is doing throughout the stay and to help give you peace of mind. Thank you for considering me to care for your precious furry one, I look forward to meeting you guys soon! 🥰 If this is your ”First” time using Rover please be sure to ask me for my discount code to receive $20 off your first stay prior to booking! This is for “First” time Rover users only. I work from home doing pet care so I will have plenty of time, love and affection to give to your precious pup while you’re away! We have a 6’ block wall all the way around our yard with no fence or hole areas where a dog could escape from. I always separate all dogs during feeding time to ensure everyone’s safety and to make sure that no one ends up playing musical food bowls…😄

Nina is the best! She treated my dog Roxy as if she was family and had a great experience. Definitely looking forward to using her services in the future!

Nina is the best! She takes such special care of our senior dog. She fosters such a great pack at her house and our dog loves being part of it. Her backyard is a great space for him to explore. Thank you!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully enclosed yard with a 6 foot block wall 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 or possibly torn/peed on etc... 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 mellow and not aggressive towards other dogs, Timid/shy is absolutely fine, I am even willing to socialize fearful 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.

I love it when my pet parents write out simple instructions of what their pups feeding and bathroom schedules and routines look like, that way I can easily keep track. Also where they normally like to sleep when they’re at home. Knowing their routine helps me get to know them better 🥰
