Information Nelly S. would like to know about your pet

I like to do meet and greets to ensure your pet gets the best and specialized care with us! I will often ask about any prevalent food allergies or existing health concerns to watch out for during your pets’ stay. My meet and greets cover any existing behavioral issues to watch out for and we work around the pet and pet parents needs.

A typical day

We go on walks in the morning and evening if weather (and ground) is not too hot. After breakfast, I provide enrichment such as lick mats, snuffling. The afternoon is spent enjoying free time sniffing in our training yard, and structured play typically takes place after dinner before we unwind for bed.

Pet care experience

I have been a pet parent to dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, reptiles, and fish for more than 10 years and have been training/boarding pets and service dogs for 5 years professionally. I am an independent contractor and work as a trainer to many clients both new and old. We can’t wait to have your pets stay with us!

Nelly was so helpful looking after our boy, Yeti, over the father's day weekend. It was especially comforting to know that he was getting some much needed socialization while we were away.

When we travel we trust that Nelly will take great care of our Gigi. This was our longest trip (10 days) and we never doubted that our girl was in great hands.

Nelly is very reliable and so sweet! I’ve been going to her for a while now, and she always takes such good care of my dog. She always sends pictures and updates with how he’s doing, which I appreciate so much! It’s so nice to be able to go out of town without worrying about how’s he doing because I know he’s in good hands 🤗🩷

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.
