Information Nel G. would like to know about your pet

It is helpful for me to know any pet allergies, the animals daily routine/schedule, vet information, emergency contact, and any behavioral issues. Feel free to write this down prior and send to me ahead of time.

A typical day

I like to take the dogs on local neighborhood walks and go from there. If it is a good match, then I can take my dog and the dogs I am watching to a local non-busy walking area. Happy to play fetch and/or do mini training sessions when the weather does not support ideal walking conditions.

I am passionate about providing great care for dogs, cats, and other animals. I have experience pet sitting dogs, cats, birds, and horses. I'm professional, trustworthy, reliable, patient, and flexible. I will keep you up to date on all of the happenings that take place during the time I spend and care for your pet. I realize that every client is different, so I'll work with you to ensure that you and your pet's needs are met.

Nel was wonderful to work with -- communicative, responsive, kind, and knowledgeable about dogs. Our pup had a great time with her!

Nel is wonderful, just what we're been looking for. Her communication is super and gave nothing but loving care to our dog Charlie.

My cat needed to take medication and to be monitored closely - she was very responsible and reliable while I was away. Thank you for your help!

I was looking for someone to house sit and take care of my dogs while my husband and I were away. I posted an ad on the UMass job site and she applied. She was responsible, trustworthy and very good with the animals. I will certainly hire her again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
