He was amazing! Asked great questions when I was dropping off my dog, and was great to communicate with me throughout my dogs stay with him! He is very polite, professional, and personal! My dog is also very shy and anxious, and she gets really nervous, and she seemed to have had a great time staying with him! Highly recommend, and when I need a dog sitter, I'll definitely use him again!

We went out of town for a week leaving our one year old Bulldog with Nef. He came to meet our dog and even accommodated transportation. My dog is very picky on who she likes however it was love from first sight. This was the first time we had to board our dog and now we have our go to person for life. Thanks Nef for the outstanding service!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, Trust & Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet I care for like one of my own, with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love. • Trust & Communication: I believe in open and clear communication. I’ll always keep you updated with messages, photos, and honest check-ins, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. • Safe & Calm Environment: Whether I’m walking your dog, stopping by for a visit, or house-sitting, I maintain a calm, positive environment tailored to your pet’s personality and needs. I follow all your care instructions carefully and ensure your pet feels safe, secure, and well-loved at all times. • Reliable & Responsible Care: I’m punctual, dependable, and respectful of your home and routines. I know how important it is to have someone you can count on when you’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. Every pet is different and I’m here to provide personalized care that makes both you and your furry friend feel totally at ease.
