Pet care experience

Love and care for every paw

I provide responsible, loving, and personalized care for pets of all ages. My priority is to make every pet feel safe, cared for, and happy while under my supervision. I adapt to the unique needs and personalities of each pet: • 🐾 For puppies, I offer walks, playtime, and activities that help release energy and support their early training. • 🐾 For adult pets, I maintain balanced routines of exercise, feeding, and companionship to ensure their well-being. • 🐾 For senior pets, I provide calm, patient, and gentle care, giving them the attention and comfort they deserve at this stage of life. My experience includes: ✔️ Organized and safe feeding routines. ✔️ Basic medication administration. ✔️ Walks tailored to different energy levels. ✔️ Playtime, stimulation, and plenty of affection. I create a home-like, safe, and trusting environment where pets feel comfortable and owners have peace of mind knowing their loved ones are in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment

My priority is to create a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet. At home, animals are welcomed as part of the family and have a comfortable space where they can rest, play, and feel protected. I always respect their routines—feeding, walks, and rest—so they feel stable and happy, even when they are away from their owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions to maintain the same routine and sense of security the pets are used to. My commitment is to provide trust and peace of mind, making sure every paw receives love, companionship, and quality care.

Nelly and her family took excellent care of our very needy girl. She was very spoiled and treated like the princess she thinks she is.

Nelly was great! She was prompt in responding to messages and welcomed our dog Alma into her home and family. She understands dog behavior and was receptive to our instructions and Alma's needs. I recommend Nelly to care for your dog, too.

Nelly is a sincerely kind-hearted, caring animal lover who took excellent care of our two brother mini Golden doodles for a week over Christmas this year. Her competence left my husband and I able to fully enjoy our vacation, knowing our "babies" were being well pampered. --Jerri & Dan

Schedule

Pet care is part of my daily life and routine. Since I spend most of my time at home, I am able to provide constant attention and companionship for pets throughout the day. My nursing background makes me organized and reliable, which helps me carefully follow feeding schedules, medication needs, and exercise routines. I dedicate specific times for walks, playtime, and rest, ensuring that every dog or cat feels safe, loved, and part of the family. Whether during the week or on weekends, pet care naturally fits into my lifestyle, and I truly enjoy giving each animal the time and affection they deserve.

It’s very important for me to know certain details about each pet ahead of time to provide the best care possible. ✅ Routines: feeding times, walks, litter box care, and rest periods. ✅ Health: medications, allergies, medical conditions, or dietary restrictions. ✅ Behavior: how they interact with other animals or people, fears (like loud noises), or if they prefer quiet spaces. ✅ Preferences: favorite toys, activities they enjoy, and things they don’t like. Having this information helps me ensure that every dog and cat feels safe, comfortable, and happy while respecting their usual routines and needs.
