Laid off 😢 Help me stay afloat!
Pet care experience
I grew up around several pets and animals - from watching after 7 dogs in Kenya to taking care of my first kitten at 10 years old (his name was Elmo), I love taking care of pets. Currently, a dog sitter for my aunt’s cutest dog, Hazel (or Hazelnut as I like to call her). Whenever my aunt is away, I’ll stay at her place to feed, walk and play with Hazel. Also, sometimes caring for Mercy the cat, who used to live right next door to me. I feed and groom him (and boy does he looove being groomed and all the attention). I am available in DC to walk your dog(s), do check-in’s or feed them. Your pet is family, and I will add the extra care and support whenever life can get overwhelming.

Reviews
Nthanze is wonderful with our cat.
Nthanze is very communicative and pleasant. She did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. I will work with her again for future services.
Nthanze was always on time, communicative and amazing with our high energy chocolate lab. We highly recommend!
Nthanze was great with my cat! She was responsive and caring for my little guy. Highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a pet cat and he is very friendly! Although I’m not offering home drop offs, I am very keen on making sure when I’m dropping in on a pet that their home is comfortable as the owner requests. I make sure their food bowls and water bowls are clean and they get enough playtime.
Home
Information Nthanze K. would like to know about your pet
I would need to know about any special needs for a pet beforehand and if they have any special diets/restrictions etc. Any added info will be helpful.
A typical day
I love giving dogs the time to sniff, explore, and take in the world on our walks—no rushing here! Indoors, I’ll play with their favorite toys, keep them company, and even narrate what I’m doing so they feel included. And of course, there will be plenty of pets and affection—for cats too, if they’re up for it!
