Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Nerissa and I look forward to getting to know your best friend! I understand how deeply cherished a pup can be. They are family and I welcome them into mine :) Throughout their stay, I will keep you updated with many photos and videos and am available to contact 24/7. I have many years of experience. From owning, sitting, fostering, volunteering, and now working with dogs, I have gained an immense understanding of dog behavior. Growing up, my first experience with a dog was with my neighbors collie, Cindy. Growing up in a rural area without any other kids my own age, Cindy was my best friend. I sat her often and spent many days roaming the neighborhood together. In recent years, we had to say goodbye to our sweet girl, Tika. Through grief and in her honor, we contacted Grateful Friends Animal Rescue and decided to foster. It has been a truly rewarding experience. In 2023, we adopted our not so mini poodle, Alfred, and continue to foster when we can.

Nerissa is super reliable, quick to respond, very trustworthy, and the sweetest person to communicate with. My pup adores her and I would highly recommend her to anyone. So grateful that I happened upon her profile 🙏

We are very thankful for Nerissa. It was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous but she instantly made us feel at ease. She took great care of our puppy and kept us informed all along with pictures and messages. It was very reassuring. She respected our dog’s needs and habits! We know that our Cooper loved his time there, especially the long playtimes with Alfie! She also was very flexible and easy to reach. We would definitely have her keep our dog again and we strongly recommend her services.

Nerissa is simply the best! Prompt, kind, loves our Yorkie and it shows by how excited he is to see her for his walks. When I have to travel for work, having Nerissa to help out with his care, means the world to me so I don't stress that hes on his own too long...
