Information Ninfa S. would like to know about your pet

Any allergies? Any fears? Are their vaccines up to date? History of aggressive behavior? Please explain triggers History of marking territory behavior? Where do they normally sleep at home? Food and walk schedule at home?

A typical day

There is fun play in home, belly rubs, chasing balls in the park, going for long walks, smelling all the new smells in the neighborhood, checking out the other pups, saying hello and getting some love from fellow neighbors, I have a couple puzzles for getting treats and finding hidden toys/treasure! I am able to give medication. I have had dogs that have lived well into their senior years and understand they need comfy beds and stairs for the sofa, raised feeding bowls, although I can only care for small/medium breeds.

Pet care experience

Dogs are my favorite people! I have bathed, played, walked and cuddled with them since I was a kid. I grew up with labs, I have had Yorkies, Bichon, Maltese, Frenchies, all small to medium sized breeds. I know the peace of mind it gives to know your fur babies are well cared for while you are away! I have a sweet, gentle 7 year old boy who will play with your little one.

Ninfa is a wonderful person, she knows a lot about dogs, my chihuahua loves to stay with her, she is very attentive and sensitive with my senior dog needs, he stayed with her for a week and I can see that he had a great time with her… thank you dear Ninfa we appreciate you! You are the best!

Ninfa continues to provide a wonderful alternative home for Vinny. He is always excited when we approach Ninfa's home, and he can't wait to get inside. When we retrieve Vinny, it's obvious that he's very relaxed around Ninfa, and he responds to her like she's family. We certainly hope to use Ninfa for Vinny's care in the future.
