Availability
Pet care is a dedicated and organized part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule one day in advance to ensure I can provide reliable and punctual service to every client. I currently offer drop-in visits Monday through Friday between 6am and 3pm. I limit the number of visits per day so each pet receives calm, focused, and attentive care.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal routine and environment. I ensure doors and gates are secured, food and medications are administered as directed, and the home is kept clean and respectful. I provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners feel informed and reassured. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and stable experience for both the pet and the family.
Information Marianela G. would like to know about your pet
Before each visit, it’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any medical needs or medications. I also like to understand their personality — whether they are shy, energetic, anxious, or senior — so I can adjust my approach accordingly. Please let me know about any allergies, behavioral concerns, favorite toys, walking preferences, or areas they should avoid. If there are specific instructions about home access, alarms, or security, I appreciate having that information in advance as well. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide safe, attentive, and personalized care for your pet.
A typical day
A typical day for me begins with planning my scheduled visits in advance. When I arrive, I greet each pet gently and give them a moment to feel comfortable. I understand that every animal has their own personality — some are playful and excited, others are shy or need a little extra reassurance. I adjust to their energy and make sure they feel safe and loved. During the visit, I provide fresh water, feed them according to instructions, take them out for potty breaks or short walks, clean litter boxes, and spend quality time playing or cuddling. For senior or more sensitive pets, I focus on calm companionship and soft affection. My goal is for your pet to feel cared for and emotionally comfortable while you’re away — not just supervised. I also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving hands.

Loving & Reliable Pet Care
Pet care experience
I have over 15 years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as helping family members with their pets. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I truly understand how much they mean to their families. I am patient, calm, and very respectful of each animal’s personality and space. I’m especially gentle with shy, senior, or more sensitive pets, helping them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. During each visit, I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, receive attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. I understand how important routines are and I always follow instructions carefully. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family, and I provide updates and photos so you can feel relaxed and confident knowing your pets are in caring and reliable hands.

Reviews
I’ve had the privilege of watching Nela care for animals for many years, and what stands out most is her consistency and sense of responsibility. She doesn’t just “watch” pets. She creates structure, routine, and a calm environment that helps them feel secure. Animals quickly learn that they can rely on her. What really sets her apart is her attention to detail. She notices the small things others might miss, changes in energy, subtle shifts in behavior, or preferences in how a pet likes to play or rest. Because of this, pets in her care aren’t just safe; they’re truly understood and supported in ways that help them feel comfortable and confident. She is also incredibly dependable. If she makes a commitment, she follows through completely. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, maintaining exercise routines, or giving extra time and patience when needed, she treats every responsibility seriously. I would trust her without hesitation to care for any pet. Anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely invested in their animal’s well-being will be lucky to have Nela as their caregiver.
In my 33 years, I have never met a more dedicated and loving pet caregiver than Nela. Her care goes far beyond meeting a pet’s basic needs, since she pays close attention to their physical and emotional well-being, and she has an extraordinary ability to understand what they are feeling and how to help them thrive. When we moved into a new home, our dog struggled deeply with the transition. He refused to eat, did not want to leave the house, and seemed to lose all interest in the world around him. We were worried and felt helpless. The moment we turned to Nela for professional support, everything changed. Our dog began showing signs of improvement almost immediately. Within just a couple of days, he was more active, more playful, and eating normally again. To this day, I still do not know how Nela connects with animals so profoundly. Our dog lights up the moment he sees her; sometimes it is hard to tell whether he is more excited about my presence or hers. What I do know is that I cannot think of anyone more deserving of being trusted with the care of another person’s beloved pet. Nela is exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.
Nela is an exceptional pet caregiver. Her love for animals is not only genuine but deeply evident in the way she cares for them. Nela approaches every pet with compassion, patience, and a strong sense of responsibility. She is highly attentive to each animal’s unique needs, always prioritizing their health, comfort, and emotional well-being. What truly sets Nela apart is her ability to form meaningful bonds with the pets in her care. She treats them as cherished family members, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and secure. Any pet owner can have complete peace of mind knowing their beloved companion is in Nela’s capable and caring hands.
