About: Hi! My love for animals began at a very young age and I can't remember when pets haven't been a part of my life. I am a proud pet mama to Roxy, an English lab. I have several references who will gladly speak of my compassion and abilities to care for animals and my dedication. I provide the utmost quality pet care for responsible pet parents. As a pet lover myself, I understand the difficulty of finding someone who will care for your pets. My clients can rest assured that they will be provided the highest degree of professionalism and heartfelt pet care for their four-legged family members. I work from my home full time, so I will be available to meet your beloved fur baby's needs. I recently relocated from Austin, TX, where I had a very successful Rover business for 6 years. Please read my reviews, and I have Rover Star Sitter status. I have a fenced yard that is great for dogs to play in. I can also do walks if requested. Senior dog experience as well as oral medication.

“Where do I begin? Nancy was amazing!! She took care of my Ellie as if she were her own and then some!! She communicated thoroughly about each visit, and she always went the extra mile! Nancy will be my first choice from now on. I can’t thank her enough for giving me peace of mind while I was away! Super friendly, and extremely caring about all animals ? Thank you so much Nancy!! ? Ellie will miss your visits!!”
