Full-time Sitter w/ Park nearby

Pet care experience

My husband and I are retired now, and we are enjoying retirement by taking care of what we've loved so much since childhood: dogs. Since I was a kid I've had dogs in my house, so I am very experienced in caring dogs. We never hired trainers because I was thought how to train them myself. So believe me your dog will be in great hands. Like I mentioned in my profile, I am a full-time sitter, my house complex has a lot of parks and yards where dogs can play. So, regardless whether your dog has energy for days or prefers to stay in the couch most of the day, I will be available to accommodate either of these needs. I am very careful of what dogs eat so whatever dietary restrictions you want me to apply to your dog I will follow completely. I usually have dog-treats that I give out but feel free to let me know if they prefer something else and I'll do my best to accommodate. I always send out pictures of your dog so you can see him/her having fun throughout the day. We have a lot of toys across the house so the dogs are always very entertained. So, don't hesitate to bring your dog(s) to my home because I am sure that they will have an amazing time. I am all about making the dog's time better and your life easier when you leave him with us.

Nelva has been a lifesaver for me. I've been dropping my dog off at her place since last year. Every time I pick my dog up you can tell that he's had so much fun with Nelva. He's usually super tired and that's what matter to me. I don't want my dog to be in a “prison cell” type of place, and Nelva always makes sure that this is not the case. I know she treats him with as much love as possible and that is vital for me to know when I already feel so guilty for leaving him. Strongly recommend!

Nelva and her family are fantastic!! She always responds quickly, even when it’s a last minute booking. She sends lots of pictures and updates of my pup out on walks and playing with other dogs. I also really like that she was so patient with my pup, who is very timid and nervous when in a new environment — she accomodated quickly to that and was so sweet , making him feel at home. It gave me great piece of mind! I would definitely recommend her!

Nelva is a great dog sitter and dog lover. I remember how she treated Maiky (her Shiba Inu pup). She woke early to walk him, trained him, had him always in good shape, and gave him all the love in the world. Maiky left us a few years ago of old age but I am pretty sure that there wasn't a better dog mom than Nelva for him. She is an amazing person and I am pretty sure she will treat your dog with the same love she has treated all her doggos in the past.
