Dogs love me. Dog owners trust me.

Pet care experience

I'm a life-long dog lover with professional experience in pet care and child care. During my time as a dog walker in Brooklyn, New York, I cared for all types of breeds. I am fastidious in following dog owners' instructions about feeding, behavior management, pet playtime, exercise, or whatever else they require. Dogs are very comfortable around me because they sense my warm and caring energy. My schedule is completely open. I can work on weekdays and weekends, even some holidays. And I'm happy to care for your dog multiple days in a row. If your fur baby stays at my home, they'll be kept company by my 2.5 year old mini golden doodle (that gets crated at night). If I stay at my client's home, I will leave my dog with my parents. I have received both doses of the vaccination against Covid-19, along with the booster shot. I avoid restaurants and large gatherings with unmasked folks. I also get tested regularly.

Nina connects with each and every dog she sees, and their owner/parent. Creating a connection with the owner and their needs in the dog's presence, she creates a sense of safety for the dog and the owners/parents. She takes care of our dog, taking him on long walks having her self-initiated checklist for the dog - water, treats, waste bags, and, as needed coat/booties. She feeds, plays with, cuddles him, and gives him his allergy medicine. She's trained him to come. Life is better for us and our dog because of Nina's care for him. I unreservedly recommend Nina for dog care.

Nina is an expert dog sitter - she was a tremendous help with my 8 dogs (I had been fostering a mother and her 7 puppies). Also, I've seen her with other dogs. Nina is responsible, playful, and very caring with the pets. I highly recommend her!

We decided to get a dog after visiting with Nina & her family. The relationship she had with her dog was loving, responsible and supportive. She was in high school at the time and I was impressed with how she prioritized her responsibility and care for her dog. Years later when I needed someone to help take care of my dog this memory brought me back to her as a solution to my needs. Tovah, my dog, took to her immediately. Sometime Tovah would be skittish with other dogs and Nina was wonderful and supportive, with a confident caring hand. Nina would play with Tovah and make sure she had the interaction she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Nina, she is reliable, trustworthy and caring.
