I have a flexible and remote at home mostly schedule. Daily walks and playtime are a big part of the care I provide. Most of our outings are calm, enriching walks. Being an animal caregiver is meaningful to me, and I treat each pet with patience and attention.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a calm, safe, and supervised space where your pet can play, relax, and feel secure. I follow all care instructions, administer medication if needed, and communicate clearly with pet parents. Your pet’s comfort, well-being, and trust are my top priorities. During any transition—when one pet is arriving and another is preparing to go home—I always communicate with pet parents ahead of time to keep everyone comfortable and informed. In general one pet at a time allows me to give my full focus and provide the highest quality care. If I got two, I walk both pets initially to introduce them to another. A tall safety gate keeps doggies securely separated with plenty of space when needed, and I supervise closely to ensure everyone stays happy and comfortable.

Information Nefeli S. would like to know about your pet

To provide attentive care, please share any important details about your pet, including: • Daily routine – feeding schedule, walk needs, preferred play style • Behavior & temperament – shy, energetic, reactive, separation anxiety, etc. • Medical needs – medications, allergies, past injuries, or mobility concerns • Training level – house-trained, crate-trained, commands they know • Social comfort – how they do with other dogs or meeting new people • Fears or triggers – loud noises, bikes, men with hats, etc. • Emergency info – your vet’s contact and how to reach you while you’re away • Relief accidents - I am forgiving of pet accidents at home and strive to catch it early. Also I keep them on a routine and train them to go out for relief. The more I know, the better I can support your pet

A typical day

Pets have interesting personalities, I love to be with them! I guarantee to take doggies for long walks at Prospect Park. I enjoy my time with cats too and the games we play at home.

Loving All Things & Pets!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Nefeli. I’m gentle, playful, and very affectionate with pets. I love nature and will happily give your dog the amount of walking, enrichment, and outdoor time you request. I have a background in behavioral health and I am also a positive-reinforcement dog trainer, so I’m calm, patient, and confident with dogs of all personalities. I’m comfortable working with vets and following any medical or behavioral instructions your pup may need. When I first joined Rover in 2017, I hosted only one dog at a time. I now welcome up to two pets total: • 1 dog (or cat) for boarding • 1 dog (or other pet) for day care If you prefer your pup to be the only dog in the home, I can absolutely provide exclusive boarding upon request. Warmly, Nefeli
