Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring companion for pup(s) & cats
Greetings, fellow pet parents! My name is Nelle and I have been a dog parent for over 25 years - all medium to large-sized dogs. I currently have a 3 year old midsized dog that loves to be outside as well as snuggle on the couch. We also have one cat who gets along with our resident dog and is nimble enough to retreat from guest dogs if needed. We have three humans in the house who love four-legged companions.

Nelle also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
We have a 3 year old mixed breed rescue pup named Tillie. She is easy-going and likes other dogs. She tends to sleep or snuggle when she is indoors and play when outdoors or on a walk. If needed, I can leave Tillie at home with family while I am house-sitting or walking/visiting other pets. Our cat, Chester, has many places to hide in case he prefers to be solo.
Ratings and reviews
This is the second time I’ve booked Nelle to watch my cats. She does a great job making sure the boys are fed, watered and have clean litter boxes. My anxious cat needs meds twice a day so knowing Nelle is on top of that is such a relief. He may not accept any pets from her, but my other cat loves to sit with her and get some attention while I’m away. I will definitely book with Nelle in the future.
Nelle was wonderful with our critters as always! She sent updates, pictures, and even checked that we made it back from our travels safely. We highly recommend her to everyone.
Nelle did a great job caring for my two cats while I was out of town. Aside from the usual care tasks, my anxious guy Wallace needs meds twice a day. Nelle made sure even a tough customer like Wallace got the attention he needed, and shared updates so I could enjoy my time away without worrying. I would recommend Nelle to anyone who needs someone to look after their pets, especially if you have one who needs extra patience.
Nelle has consistently been a good friend and a reliable care taker for our temperamental and shy fur babies. She took the time to learn their personalities and gain their trust, and has gone above and beyond each visit. Nelle is the best and we love her!
Nelle was amazing with our pets! She even made sure we got home safely from our trip to confirm we didn’t need her to stop by again. We will definitely book with her again in the future and highly recommend her.
Nelle is awesome, super nice, and communicative! Our kitties were well taken care of while we were away. Thank you so much! 😊

Schedule
I work a hybrid schedule during the week -allowing for flexibility in schedule most days. We walk a few blocks to access the Lakewalk and Chester Creek trails and sometimes head to the beach.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsNelle can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- Let me know if your pet has any special needs. I do have stairs at my house, which may be an issue for any pups with hip issues. To determine if we are a good match, I typically will ask: 1.) has your pet been without family before? 2.) does your dog/pet have specific words/commands? 3.) where does your pet typically sleep? Crate/bed/floor, etc… 4.) what time(s) of day does your pet eat? 5.) how often does your dog need to be outside? 6.)is your dog accustomed to treats and/or snacks? And upon booking, I will always suggest bringing familiar items/scents for to help your dog acclimate. These may include a piece of clothing with your scent, favorite toys, a familiar blanket, etc…
- These prices are for 1 dog.
