Pet care experience

Animal loving couple,work from 🏠speak🇺🇸🇫🇷🇪🇸

🇺🇸 Hola! We’re Nellie and Hichem, an animal-loving couple based in Valencia. We both grew up with cats and dogs and have worked as pet sitters in Spain, France and the UK. We have many years of experience with pets of all ages and needs, from playful puppies and kittens to senior cats and dogs. We’ve cared for cats with hypertension and diabetes (including giving insulin, monitoring diet and blood sugar, and making vet visits) and for dogs with liver disease, epilepsy and allergies. Because we work from home, your pets will get plenty of company, love and attention throughout the day. We send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and safe. We live in a house near dog-friendly parks and the beach, perfect for exercise and walks. Pets are welcome on our sofa and bed for extra cuddles! We offer pick-up and drop-off services too. 🇪🇸 ¡Hola! Somos Nellie y Hichem, una pareja amante de los animales que vive en Valencia. Ambos crecimos con gatos y perros y hemos trabajado como cuidadores de mascotas en España, Francia y el Reino Unido. Tenemos muchos años de experiencia con mascotas de todas las edades y necesidades, desde cachorros y gatitos juguetones hasta gatos y perros mayores. Hemos cuidado gatos con hipertensión y diabetes (incluyendo administrar insulina, controlar la dieta y el azúcar en sangre, y hacer visitas al veterinario) y perros con enfermedades del hígado, epilepsia y alergias. Como trabajamos desde casa, sus mascotas tendrán mucha compañía, cariño y atención durante todo el día. Enviamos fotos y actualizaciones regulares para que usted esté tranquilo sabiendo que están felices y seguros. Vivimos en una casa cerca de parques para perros y la playa, perfectos para paseos y ejercicio. ¡Las mascotas son bienvenidas en nuestro sofá y cama para mimos extra! También ofrecemos servicio de recogida y entrega.

I was so lucky to have met Nellie. She was so kind and made Dude and myself feel immediately comfortable. Dude was wagging his tail from the word hello. She and her husband kept us informed and sent lovely photos. I can tell Dude had a great sleepover and play at the dog park. Highly recommended! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Nellie was great with Rey! Rey settled in quickly, and I really appreciated the update letting me know she was already relaxed and hanging out on the couch. Positive experience overall. I would definitely book again.

Estamos muy agradecidos, Nellie aceptó cuidar de Arco con muy poco tiempo de antelación, y lo hizo perfectamente! Se notó que Arco estaba muy a gusto con ella, así que no dudaríamos en dejarle con ella otra vez que hiciera falta. Es una chica muy amable, responsable y amadora de los animales, se nota. También se nota que tiene experiencia. Muy recomendable!

Nellie and Hicham were able to have Nellie for two days in one week which we really appreciated, one of the days, we weren’t able to give much notice but they were happy to take our baby! Lila is very comfortable with them and was actually whining to get into their house 😍😍
