I now work as a full-time collegiate minister but since my previous career was in veterinary medicine, I still look for ways to work with pets! My schedule varies from week to week allowing for much flexibility for pet sitting!

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.

Information Nelly M. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I like to take pets out in the yard to get some sun or play with their favorite toys! If I know that the owners are wanting to teach them new behaviors then I’ll do my best to continue teaching them and rewarding the pets as needed! If the owner typically lets their pet sleep in the bedroom, I will do the same and make sure they have everything they need to be comfortable!

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!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
