Nev can care for
Availability
Pet care is my full-time source of income. I do 3-7 walks/drop-ins almost every day of the week, particularly concentrated in the Pearl/downtown area, between roughly 11am-7pm. While house-sitting, that pet's home will be my "home base" where I stay the night (unless specified otherwise) and keep up with all of the outings/feedings/litter changes in their regular routine. I will normally leave the house for 2-3 hours at a time to take care of my other bookings, and return to the house-sitting in-between those to spend time with the pet(s).

Safety, trust & environment
On walks I usually default to following the dog's lead when it comes to location and pace. If a dog park is nearby, we might go depending on how busy it is and if the dog is friendly with others. When pet sitting or dropping in at the home, I spend plenty of quality time giving love if they want it, paying attention to their mood and eating habits, and making sure they're not getting into trouble. I can take many update videos/photos, will message if anything comes up, and I appreciate being messaged any time you have a concern or just want to see your pet.
Information Nev W. would like to know about your pet
I appreciate being fully informed about pets' food portions and timing, medications, health conditions, preferred vets, known training/commands, anxiety triggers, and any other parts of their routine such as walk routes or treats.
A typical day
I like to make use of whatever toys are in a pet's space and keep them mentally engaged (when house sitting or dropping in), sometimes bringing my own, and make sure to give positive feedback when they are well-behaved. If an animal is nervous I will always respect their space and pay attention to body language, and if I have to spend a little extra time to make sure they trust me and don't stress, that's fine with me. Being located in Texas, on dog walks I try to pay particular attention to any signs of them being negatively affected by the heat - in which case I offer a water bowl, wet their bellies to help cool off, and if it's a real concern I take them home right away.

Patient & communicative pet care
Pet care experience
I grew up with a dog and cat, and have been offering walks, drop-ins, and house sittings part time for about 10 years, starting in high school. This is now my full-time job! My most frequent early clients were 3 huge unfixed shepherds so I can deal with a lot. I get around by e-scooter so parking isn't an issue. Can't wait to meet your pets!
Cat care experience
Nev also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Nev is a compassionate, gentle, reliable, respectful and knowledgeable dog walker. His care of my pups and ability to calm them and gain trust is superb. Both of my rescues are reactive and can be unruly. Nev is patient but firm and keeps them safe and happy. When they return from their walk they are chill and tuckered ☺️ Nev helped me so much when I wA recovering from surgery. Because of him, I was able to have them by my side vs. having them in boarding. This aided my healing because we all know - dogs are so beneficial to our wellbeing. TY Nev! I would not hesitate to recommend Nev to anyone who truly cares and loves their animals as part of their family 💗🐾🐶
Nev is the BEST! I can see why they have the reviews and repeat clients that they do! I was so fortunate to have Nev stay at my home with my yellow lab for a week. He was spoiled rotten, but in the best way of course! I need to plan some trips so Ellis can have his playmate back again!! Thank you, Nev~
Nev is a really good dog walker. My dog waits at the door about 30 minutes before Nev's arrival time. My dog can't wait to go! And he's good and tired when he gets back, and that's all good sign.
Nev is a wonderful dog walker! Goes above and beyond for my dog, Archie, by giving him treats, changing out his water and showing him love. Nev is also very reliable and has accommodated my last minute requests - it is greatly appreciated!!
