Spread love the way a pet does

Pet care experience

I have been caring for animals since I was 5 I grew up in a farm filled with sheep, cats, Dogs, cows, horses, chickens, ducks, you name it my grandfather had it I always have been involved in pets lives wether it is caring for a pet for a family member to helping out my father in his Frenchie business I started training dogs when I was a teenager I am now equipped with the knowledge and tools to successfully care for pets with disabilities I am CPR certified and can administer medicines I love all type of pets and here we give them the best treatment they can receive showers massages love play time walks dog park amongst other activities I can guarantee you once you let your pet board with me you will never want to go back to your old sitter 😉 give your self the peace of mind that your pet will be in great hands this day. we kindly and respectfully ask that all pets that enter our beautiful community be submitted to a flea and tick treatment for the safety of our home and most importantly for the safety of your pet if you do not have the time to give them a treatment please let us know we can definitely arrange a treatment for a additional fee not only will it ease your mind but you will be absolutely sure that your dog is in a clean and safe environment thank you for allowing me to care and continue to care for your beautiful fur babies 😊

Nelson is amazing not just with our pup and bunnies but in general. He's helped us out last minute twice now and each time we've have felt as comfortable as we would had we been watching them ourselves. Great communicator, very flexible, and truly understands the stress pet owners get leaving their loved ones with someone new. Seriously, can't recommend him enough.

Nelson was great. I asked him to board our 5 mon goldendoodle while I was at work. It went very well and he even worked on leash training our pup. I will use his services again.

Nelson was once a good sitter. My Christmas plans were then very much setback negatively due to Nelson NOT being home, I called several times for 2hrs and left many MANY messages. Rover Support had tried to contact him as well, still nothing. I had just spoken to Nelson last night confirming the pick up and drop off times and payment was made & everything was a green light. I understand emergencies happen, but to notify the other party is still common courtesy. I have a family and I am going out of town & now everything had to be canceled, money needs to be refunded asap,& all of this hassle on Christmas morning. Very unhappy with the service. I have gone to Nelson and his family several times, but after this experience with no notice… I don’t plan on coming back. I need a sitter that is Reliable AND Considerate of others time & plans.

It was our first time using Nelson. We will use him again. He kept constant communication with us. He shared several of photos and videos.His report was on point based on our dog’s personality. I like that he has a big yard.
