Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to ensure their pet feels comfortable and secure in their own space. I prioritize playtime, regular walks, feeding schedules, and lots of love and attention. I understand every pet has unique needs, and I’m always happy to follow specific instructions or accommodate special requests. While I don’t offer overnight boarding, I do live next to a beautiful park, which makes for peaceful, scenic walks and plenty of outdoor play during daytime visits!

Information Nona S. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time—like medical conditions, allergies, or behavioral quirks. I’d also love to know how they typically do on walks, how they interact with other dogs or people, and if there’s anything that makes them anxious or especially happy. The more I know, the better I can care for them like you would!

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and active! Depending on your pup’s energy level and personality, we might go for scenic walks at the park near my home, play fetch, or just relax with belly rubs and cuddles. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels loved, engaged, and comfortable while you’re away!

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is my lifelong love for dogs and hands-on experience caring for them. I grew up with my own little one and have been dog sitting for friends and family since I was a teenager. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet seniors—and I’m always attentive to their unique needs. Whether it’s giving extra patience to an elderly pup or keeping up with a high-energy dog, I treat every dog like they’re my own.

Nona has been our trusted dog sitter for over five years, and we truly can’t imagine life without her! She is the most loving, dependable, and caring person you could ever hope to find to take care of your pets. She has been with us since our youngest pup, Bella , was born during Covid, and from the very beginning, she’s treated both our dogs like her own. She’s not just our dog sitter—she’s part of our pack! One of the things we love most about Nona is her incredible reliability. She always shows up when we need her, even at the last minute, and she never fails to go above and beyond. Whether it’s a quick check-in or an extended stay, we always return to happy, well-cared-for dogs and a spotless home. Speaking of which, Nona is also an exceptional house sitter. We trust her 100% with our home and never have to worry when we’re away. She’s respectful, responsible, and treats our space with the utmost care. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pets and your home with the same love and attention you would give them yourself, look no further. We give Nona our highest recommendation!

Nona is truly the best with my dog, Boss! From the very first time they met, I noticed how naturally she connected with him. Boss’s tail wags non-stop! Nona is responsible, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. She always goes above and beyond to make sure Boss feels happy, secure, and loved. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Nona is truly a dog whisperer! She has a natural, calming energy that dogs gravitate toward. My dog Kobe absolutely adores her!!! He always leaves her place well-fed, well-loved, and honestly a little sad to leave. Sometimes I think he enjoys staying with her more than being home with me! I trust Nona wholeheartedly. It gives me so much peace knowing he’s in such loving, capable hands. She’s simply the best.
