Information Nellie L. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know if your dog has any special needs or any behaviors that I should look out for. If the dog isn’t training, I’d love to partner with you on how to support this for the family and the dog.

A typical day

We would start the day by waking up, taking in the outside for a potty break in a quick stroll around the block. Then come back inside and have breakfast, which is always exciting followed by a long walk or a visit to the doggie park where we can throw the ball around. Depends on if the dog is ball motivated or what other activities they like to do. I like to have a lot of playtime built into the day.

Loving home for your loved pet

Pet care experience

Take care of dogs part time for friends for many years. I have formed special bonds with them and love to see their excitement when they come over. No one throws a party for you when you get home like a dog. I love training puppies and taking them for walks and playing with them as well.

Nellie is a wonderful caregiver. She took great care of our dog, Pancho, and kept us updated on his whereabouts with photos. She’s caring and communicative.

Nellie is wonderful with our new rescue pocket pittie! Flexible, communicative and could tell our pup loved her. Highly recommended!

Nellie was absolutely fantastic with my Frenchie! My dog can be very stubborn, so Nellie was very patient with her and very sweet and accepted her as a member of the family, even though the cat may not have liked her very much. Nellie is super flexible and takes great care of the dogs she cares for! I would hands-down recommend Nellie!!!
