Safety, trust & environment

When I arrive at your place, I make every effort to earn your dog's trust and make them feel more at ease. Usually your dog should already recognize me from our meet and greet. But if we have met or not, the first thing I do is take your dog on a walk, just to ensure them that I’m their care taker while you are gone, that would 100% make them comfortable with me. When we return, that is when I start giving rubs, treats, and cuddles. (yes I allow your dogs to sleep on my bed, if you are okay with them on your furniture). I hope I am the perfect match for you and your pup, thanks for reading about me.

Information Nelson L S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog is allergic to anything, if any medication are needed, anxiety, or anything that will trigger your dog.

A typical day

go on exciting walks and adventure your neighborhood, have cuddle time, teach your dog tricks, car rides, give your dog a lots of attention, and have plenty of play time.

Just your pups and I :P

Pet care experience

I'm a very fun and courageous person who enjoys going for walks and exploring outdoors. I can make your dog love me, just give me 5 minutes and I’m your dogs new best friend. I am a wonderful listener, so just tell me what you need me to do and everything will be purrfect. Having 2+ years experience at a dog daycare center in the past, I am skilled to manage the highs and lows with all pets. My responsibility is to stay with your pup at your home through out my whole stay, I will be there to protect, love, and feed them while you are away. On top of that I will be your housekeeper, watching over your home and cleaning any messes your pup and I make. My schedule is pretty much free the whole time I’m with your pup, so when I’m with them they have my whole attention. I can also teach them a few tricks because I'm quite excellent at it and I do not take care of 2 different families at the same time. My focus is taking care of one family at a time throughout my stay.

Nelson is amazing! The first time my pups met him they immediately took to him. That tells me he is genuinely kind and the dogs loved his vibe. He’s caring and very communicative, especially with pictures. We will continue to rely on Nelson as long as we can!

First time meeting Nelson and he was great! The babies loved him and were instantly comfortable. Which says a lot for my senior dog! He was personable, sent consistent updates, and always responded. He’s great!

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Nelson. He treated my two dogs as if they were his own—he even slept with them, so they felt safe, comfortable, and loved. He walked them every day and kept me updated throughout my trip, sending plenty of pictures and notes. Knowing they were in such caring hands gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Nelson to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets with genuine love and dedication.

Nelson did a great job house sitting and watched Winnie and Maple like they were his own pets. They both liked him as soon as they met him and it's clear they were happy and well cared for while he was here. He made sure to send plenty of updates while he was here and left our house in good shape after he left. He was also very patient with me after I forgot to send him the door code on the first day. I would gladly book him again.
