Former Vet Tech | Trusted Care

NINAZ59371, https://www.rover.com/sit/ninaz5 $20 off first stay! Hi! I’m Nina, and house sitting is my specialty. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I worked as a veterinary technician from 2016 through the end of 2021, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. While I’ve since transitioned into a different career, my passion for animal care has never changed. Because I work remotely from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend more quality time with pets throughout the day. I know many pets feel most comfortable staying in their own home, so my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible while providing plenty of companionship, enrichment, exercise, and affection. Thanks to my veterinary background, I’m comfortable administering oral medications, topical medications, insulin injections, and subcutaneous (SQ) fluids when prescribed by your veterinarian. As a dog & cat owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I primarily serve families throughout Seminole County, including Winter Springs, Oviedo, Longwood, and the surrounding communities. For dog walking, my husband, Beau, manages our walking services. He’s an animal lover who enjoys helping dogs get the exercise and attention they need through safe, reliable walks. I’m always your primary point of contact, and you’ll know in advance who will be caring for your pet. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, a senior companion, or one with special medical needs, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

The peace of mind Nina gives us when we’re away is everything, I love that she not only just feeds them but she also plays with them, gives them affection and was even kind enough to clean up after their messes/accidents. We’re thankful to have found a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!

Nina was the best! She spent time taking care of our pets individual needs and sent the sweetest photos. She even brought over a long line so our lab could play fetch in the front yard. We got caught in a snow storm and she didn’t hesitate to stay longer to take care of the pets. I was so happy to know our pets were well taken care of.
