I travel for work but when I am not traveling I work from home. The best part of working from home is the time I have to be active, spend time, and play with my pets rather than boarding.

Information Nels S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet(s) has specific needs, habits, behaviors, eating, sleeping or exercise routines and if you have special requests ahead of time so I can be prepared for your pet(s).

A typical day

A great start to the day is an early morning walk or jog followed by breakfast. I’m an extremely active person so walking, running, playing tug of war, and playing fetch are simple ways to be exercising and playing with my little buddy. My dog would choose to play all day but also knows when to be calm and take a good nap too. So, whether your pet is young and full of energy or on the senior side, we can accommodate.

The best care for your best friends

Pet care experience

Since youth, I’ve worked on farms and ranches with many types of animals and wildlife but also resided in the city with domesticated pets. I have also owned several different kinds of dogs, cats, cows, goats, and fish. They are all fun to be around for me. Being involved with a wide range of wildlife and pets in all ages, I’ve learned how to entertain and care for fresh born all the way to upper age seniors. I love to exercise and take my pets with me so whether it’s a young pup who needs a good run or a senior dog who can only take a small walk, I know when to adjust to all.

Nels was fantastic with all our pets and did a great job looking after the home and property. He communicated well and we felt reassured of our pets wellbeing.
