Safety, trust & environment

When I’m house sitting, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. Whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or just hanging out together. I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep your home tidy while you're away. I know it can be stressful to leave your pet and your home, so I always make communication a priority with regular updates and photos. For dog walks, I make sure each outing is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog’s energy level and personality. Whether your pup is a slow sniffer or a speedy explorer, I’m here to make their day a little brighter (and get those wiggles out!).

Information Nina S. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know as much as possible about your pet to ensure their comfort and safety. It’s helpful to know their daily routine, energy level, and any special needs or medical conditions. I also like to ask about their temperament: how they do with strangers, other animals, and how they react on walks or in new environments. Feeding instructions, favorite toys, any quirks or fears, and commands they respond to are all important, too. The more I know, the better I can provide care that feels familiar and reassuring for your pet.

A typical day

A typical day starts off with a walk, but from there I tailor it to your pet’s personality. It could be a trip to the park or playing with toys, the goal is keeping your pets engaged and happy. I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and entertained throughout the day.

Med Student & Pet Lover

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Nina, a lifelong animal lover who grew up with both cats and dogs. I currently live in Rittenhouse Square with my two lovable cats, Yogi and Frankie. I’m a med student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be home often and provide attentive, reliable care. I’ve been pet sitting for friends and neighbors since I was young, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I’d love the chance to care for your furry family member!

Nina did an excellent job taking care of my cat! She made sure to always make sure he had enough food, water, and playtime! His litter box was well maintained as well. She sent daily pictures of my cat who seemed very comfortable under her care. I recommend her to everyone!

Nina was so wonderful with our cat who can be a bit shy and skittish. She met her where she's at and gave our cat attention on her terms, which we really appreciate. Nina also cane out during a historic heatwave on a holiday weekend, which we are so incredibly grateful for.
