I have open availability on weekends and can provide flexible scheduling for house sitting throughout the week. I’m able to give pets my full attention during visits. Whether that’s an energizing walk, playtime, feeding, or calm companionship. I prioritize reliability, consistency, and clear communication so pet parents always feel at ease.

Safety, trust & environment

I grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds, so caring for them has been second nature to me from a young age. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments from energetic puppies to gentle seniors who need a slower, more attentive approach. I’m especially experienced with: 🐶 Puppies & young pets (routine, patience, gentle guidance) 🐕‍🦺 Senior pets (medication awareness, mobility support, extra care) 🐾 Anxious or sensitive pets who need a grounded caregiver 🐱 Cats & multi pet households I provide structured, routine based care and regular photo updates so you always feel connected while you’re away. I also practice mindful, gentle handling something many pets naturally respond to, especially if they’re missing their owners. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether it’s a walk, drop in visit, or overnight stay, you can trust that your pet and home will be treated with respect, attentiveness, and professionalism. ⭐️ “She treated our dogs as if they were her own and left our home immaculate.” I’d love to support you and your pet 💛

Nelani is an excellent housesitter and dog sitter. She stayed at my house for a week and during that time she had to take my dog to the ER and take him to the vet for his chemotherapy. She was by his side the whole time giving him healing touch. Nelani is an outstanding dog sitter.

We recently entrusted our two beloved dogs to the care of Nelani for the weekend, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment we met Nelani, we were reassured by her warm demeanor and evident love for animals. Nelani went above and beyond to ensure that Karma and Lucky felt comfortable and loved in our absence. Her attention to detail was outstanding, from following our dogs' feeding schedules to maintaining their exercise routines. Throughout the weekend, Nelani kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which provided us with immense peace of mind. We could see that our dogs were happy and content, enjoying walks, playtime, and snuggles. One thing that truly stood out was Nelani's professionalism and reliability. She arrived promptly as scheduled and demonstrated excellent communication skills throughout our interaction. We felt completely at ease knowing that our dogs were in such capable hands. Moreover, she took the initiative to ensure the safety and well-being of our home, which we greatly appreciated. She respected our space and left it in immaculate condition upon our return. Thank you, Nelani, for your outstanding service and for treating our dogs as if they were your own!
