Nelly is an amazing sitter with Shabazz and Remy. She provides regular updates and whether positive or negative and caters to their needs or requests. Shabazz has come a long way especially with Nelly reinforcing his training. Thanks as always for providing great care for them!

This was my first time away from my dog for a week and I was feeling super nervous about it but Nelly took great care of Santi, sent daily updates and kept me in the loop with some of his eating habits which she also stepped in to help with. This was Santi’s second stay with Nelly and he seemed to enjoy his time with her and the other pups! I will definitely be booking with Nelly in the future! ❤️🐾

I am so happy that we found Nelly! It’s always so hard when you have to leave your dog behind. My dog Zoe had a wonderful 3 night stay at Nelly’s. She communicated well, sent pictures, and took extra good care of my girl. I felt a sense of ease knowing that she was in good hands. I would recommend if you need a dog sitter.

Kept the dogs inside during especially hot days. Sent photos regularly, and worked on training them to come on command.

We are so happy to have found Nelly! Callie had a great time meeting new friends - both pups and cats! Never would have thought that our Callie would be chill with a cat :). We are all looking forward to the next visit. Thank you so much for taking great care of our baby.

Nelly is a fantastic sitter! During our vacation, she is so thoughtful and sends daily pics and check-ins of our Beau. That makes us feel content and stress-free during our time away from our pooch. Nelly is very knowledgeable and thoughtful and I highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fully fenced backyard that doubles as our training yard and I have two personal service dogs who are fully trained as my mobility and medical alert dogs, as well as my elderly chihuahua who enjoys naps.

Pets

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.

Nelly can host up to 8 pets per night
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.
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.
