Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I like to care for pets as closely to how the owner would care for their pet! This means is the owner would rather me stay overnight at their home, I am happy to do that. I often work remotely so can spend extended hours in the client’s home keeping their pets company, especially if their pets have separation anxiety.

Nelly is amazing! She watched our 5 dogs and during that time we didn't have a worry about them because we knew they were being loved on and taken care of.

Nelly is the best and most responsible and communicative caregiver you could ask for. Nelly not only has a background in animal science/veterinary technology, but is the most caring, attentive, and cautious person to take care of your baby. She has cared for my Yorkie Terrier many times, and I wouldn’t leave her with anyone else while I am away. Nelly is simply the best! She is very proactive and will send you photos! I simply cannot recommend Nelly enough!

Medications, dosing, and frequency of administration. If there are any human behaviors that are triggering to the pet, I like to know those so as to avoid them.
