Reliable at home pet sitter :)

Pet care experience

Hi all! I am an experienced pet sitter watching both cats and dogs and have taken care of animals since I was a kid. I have lived with and taken care of different pets such as dogs (Pomeranians, Labs, Yorkies, Maltipoos, etc.) and cats (Himalayan, Persian, Tabby, etc.). Growing up around so many animals, I am truly an animal lover and advocate who will really make time to be personable with your furry babies. If you are going out of town, I am open to taking reservations with short notice also! I like to send pet owners video and picture updates of their animals while they are away so they know their pets are well taken care of. Please note, I only do boarding. I live in a townhouse and have a large deck and backyard and happy to do lots of outdoor activities with them!

Nelly was wonderful with my cat, Jake! I was anxious leaving him while I was out of town but she sent me videos, pictures and even FaceTimed me which eased my anxiety. I would definitely recommend Nelly!

Nelly took wonderful care of our 13 yr old cairn terrier. She also responded quickly to my texts, and she sent us daily pictures and videos. Her condominium complex is beautiful with plenty of sidewalks and grass. Our dog has anxiety issues around other animals, and Nelly took special care to keep him safe. I would use her services again in a heartbeat!

Nelly is absolutely amazing and did a wonderful job watching my cat, Ollie! He stayed with her at her home and she made sure to send me tons of video and pictures so I was comfortable knowing he was in good hands while I was away. I really trust Nelly with all my pet care needs and have used her pet services on different occasions. She always responds promptly, professionally and most importantly, personably. I am so glad to have someone to count on that Ollie also loves and trusts!

Nelly absolutely loves pets - especially dogs. She has cared for my fur baby countless times over the last 10 years and is the only person I trust to take good care of Moosh when I'm away. He absolutely loves and trusts her!
