Safety, trust & environment

I care for my neighbor’s pug daily, as she is often absent. We play together, and I’m well-versed in her dietary needs and provide walks and attentive care. I even successfully introduced her to my own cat.

Information Nina S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs or behavioral traits that I should be aware of. I tend to work well with calm breeds that enjoy walks and interaction, but I’m also skilled at respecting their need for personal space when required.

A typical day

I love keeping your dogs active and entertained. We’ll play different games, explore new scents in the neighborhood, and visit a large park close by. I provide great care by making sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and attention, just like a top-notch pet sitter would.

Pet care experience

In total, I have approximately 20 years of experience in animal care. From birth, I grew up alongside dogs—a Great Dane, a Pekingese, and a Miniature Pinscher. This early exposure fostered a deep love for animals and a lifelong commitment to their care and well-being. Throughout my life, I've also cared for fish, parrots, turtles, and cats, all of whom have been dear to me. Many of my friends are also animal enthusiasts. For example, I often go on walks with a friend and her shepherd, and we take care of her puppies together. We have trained them in various commands, devised fun park games, and enjoyed our time together. Friends frequently leave their cats in my care when they are away, trusting me as their most responsible caretaker. I have my own cat with special dietary needs, which has made me knowledgeable about feeding and treatment, including how to administer medications painlessly. I adopted her from a shelter six years ago and have since brought her with me to another country. Her luxurious long fur and flat face, typical of Persian cats, require regular grooming, which has become part of my daily routine. Currently working part-time, I have the flexibility to dedicate my free time to what I truly love and am accustomed to—caring for your beloved pets. I am also now caring for my neighbor’s pug, as she is often away due to work. I provide the love and attention that the pug misses in her owner's absence—walking her, feeding her, and ensuring she receives the care she needs. The pug and my cat get along wonderfully, but the dog still requires the dedicated attention of a human. Anytime you can ask me for help with your pet care needs because I have a deep love for animals and extensive knowledge of their care. My responsibility, punctuality, and attentive nature ensure that your pets receive the best care and attention they deserve.

Nina was great! She was so patient and caring to my kitties- Even one that is extremely shy and wary of strangers. She won him over in the end, and they looked great when I got back home from my trip.
