Pets have been my love and life!
Pet care experience
I grew up with a household of pets. After leaving my childhood home I moved to the Tahoe Truckee area and began working for a veterinarian. I studied animal behavior in college and I continued to work in the veterinary profession until my retirement in 2022, for 40 plus years! I have always devoted myself to the best of care for all of my own pets, including hamsters, parakeets, cats, dogs, rats, and chickens, and to the pets of friends and family including horses. I am very tuned into their health and medical needs as well as their everyday fun and attention needs. I love to walk and am very safety conscious.
Reviews
Nedra did a wonderful job with Oso, once again! She is very conscientious.
Fantastic! Oso appeared very relaxed when we returned home
Nedra was terrific to work with, despite our complicated scheduling and logistics. She was very sweet with Moxie and Zeke (both senior dogs) and is the ideal dog-sitter given her love of animals and her expertise from many years working in veterinary medicine. Highly recommend Nedra.
Nedra is so great with our dogs. I highly recommend her!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
As I currently have a senior cat who is afraid of dogs, I prefer most of my services be in your home or walking your dogs. However, some cat loving, mellow dogs might be possible for short periods in my home as needed. I do not have a fenced yard so outside time in my home would be leash walking time, dependent on the needs of your dog, for safety.
Home
Information Nedra B. would like to know about your pet
How does your dog do with other people, children, dogs and cats? Do they behave well, and enjoy rides in the car? Do they chew or have accidents in the house? Do they have medical needs or any dietary restrictions? Do they come when called?
A typical day
We can walk in the neighborhoods or surrounding forests, or if your dogs likes to travel by car or swim I can take them to the lake or river and on short outings. I enjoy gentle training sessions with dogs and reinforcing the commands they know as well as playing challenging games such as hide and seek for fun and stimulation. I use only positive reinforcement when working with them.

Availability
I am free to offer services many days. Now that I am newly retired I do spend some time traveling away from home or with other part time activities but, in general, my schedule is very flexible.
