My family will love yours!

Pet care experience

I am a father of six, most of them are my fur babies! I have two beautiful daughters. One is 7 years old that LOVES animals! I have a 2 year old that is so curious. I have one cat and three dogs. I have owned animals my whole life. I even foster! I have been around so many different kinds to the point that I get it. Every single dog, cat, or animal is different. And understanding those differences is how I can create the best experience for your pet. I mostly work from home. My wife is also a stay at home mom that helps me during my office meetings or whenever I am asked to be in person (which isn't very frequent). My oldest daughter will always play with any dog, if they let her. ;) I have been fostering dogs for the last three years. I have everything necessary to accommodate your pet. Crates, food bowls, leashes, dog company, human company. I have a good sized yard that is fenced in. I have a very active lifestyle! No matter the weather, I always take the doggos out and exercise them. With puppies, I don't have any issues taking them out in the middle of the night so they don't wake up smelly! And if any of the dogs stink, I have no issues giving them baths. I am always free! I work semi remote from home. I go in a few times a week. If I am not around, my wife is always around. Your dogs are my dogs. In fact, your dogs are our guests. Like any good host, we go above and beyond for our guests. I have two dogs that can always create a good time for yours.

Both Nelson and his wife were nothing short from welcoming, caring, and genuine. This was my first time using Rover with my partner, and I have no regrets. They both truly made this a vacation away from home for both our babies. Kept us updated with pictures and videos daily, and for sure made them feel at home! They definitely have a returning partnership with Mojo & Milan. Couldn’t have asked for a better family.

So happy we found Nelson. JJ loves going there, and I always feel comforted in knowing he’s being taken care of. I would definitely recommend Nelson to anyone who needs a dog sitter.

Information Nelson P. would like to know about your pet

Please now that you know about me, let me get to know you and your family! What do they love to do? Play fetch? Chase squirrels? What don't they like? Vacuums? Water? Tell me all of your pets quirks, and I will make sure they have a great time while they’re in my care.

A typical day

Playtime is the best way to get your energy out. Chasing, fetching, and running with other dogs are all great activities! On top of that we love going on walks around our neighborhood parks! The dogs get to experience more stimulation of the senses.
