About: I’ve had dogs since I was in college and I now have a farm with all kinds of different animals! There is nothing better than an animals love other than knowing your loved ones are being taken care of properly. My animals are my family and I will treat yours as my family too. I currently help with rescues on transportation, fostering, and placement. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can usually work around my work schedule pretty easily to accommodate a variety of times and needs. I will give all your pets all the love! My pets are allowed on all the furniture as it’s their house too. I have an acreage that provides lost of space for walks and play and I also have a gps fence that can be used if wanted.

About: I grew up on a farm, so I have been around all kinds of animals. I absolutely love them and appreciate all they offer. I have also done some pet sitting for neighbors and co-workers. I have raised and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, so I understand what it takes to ensure they feel loved. I will do everything in my power to make sure your animals are well cared for and cherished. I am a full time student but class is over after 2:30 so anytime in the afternoons works best for me. Also anytime during weekends I can be available. Just tell me a time and I will do what’s necessary to fit it in my schedule. I’m willing to do just about anything. I’m comfortable with staying in your home if that’s necessary. I will give them lots of love and attention. Making sure all their needs are met.

About: I have been a dog lover for many years! I used to have a farm dog growing up & I now have a dog of my own, Bear, who is a border collie/ golden retriever mix! I always make sure fresh water is readily available, I have extra food/ water bowls as well. I like to take 2-4 mile walks throughout the day. I bring a portable water dish and treats. I do regularly brush my dog, I would be happy to do the same with your puppers! I will interact with your puppers by a tug of war game, fetch, and a mental stimulation puzzle toy! I have administered oral medications before as well! I am home most of the day, occasionally I will leave for a couple hours to run errands or hang out with friends. My weekends are usually always open. I do not have a fenced in back yard, so my dog, Bear, is always on a leash, he has a harness on walks. My experience with my own dog is he is hyper and active, I try my best to keep up with his energy level!

About: I have always had many animals growing up, from German shepherds to geckos, there is no animal that I don’t absolutely adore, I have three cats and many reptiles of my own:) I am no longer pregnant! But I do have a little one now, so I will take in small to medium dogs and cats or one large dog, two small dogs are okay! But if your dog is super chaotic and hyper i recommend a different sitter for your pup :)! I promise to make your pet a top priority in my home, nothing toxic or dangerous will be out to harm your pet in any way, my house is completely pet friendly! Plus I do have a little one so childproofing my house has helped with the puppies too 🤣❤️‍🔥

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals of all kinds—chickens, ponies, cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, lizards—you name it, I’ve probably cared for it! That experience gave me a natural comfort and confidence with animals from a young age, and it taught me how to read their behavior, understand their needs, and treat them with gentleness and respect. I’ve looked after everything from snuggly lap cats to high-energy dogs who need lots of play and exercise. I enjoy taking active dogs to parks and getting them the movement they need, while also knowing how to slow things down for older pets or animals who need extra care. I’ve also cared for pets who were mildly sick or healing, giving them special attention, gentle handling, and keeping a close eye on their needs. What sets me apart is my calm, steady presence and my ability to adjust to each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, affectionate, or a little quirky—I meet them where they’re at and care for them like they’re my own. Right now, I’m in a season of life where I’m home full-time and have plenty of availability to care for pets. I love being around animals, and with my flexible schedule, I can give them the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. If this turns into something steady, I’d love to make pet care my full-time focus! For now, my days are wide open, and I’m excited to spend them keeping your pets happy, safe, and loved. When caring for pets in my home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. For in-home boarding, I’m currently only able to host quiet pets due to both my living situation and the peaceful nature of our neighborhood. This includes animals like cats, hamsters, reptiles, and even spiders like tarantulas — all of which tend to be low-noise and easygoing. I share my home with my spouse, who is a light sleeper and highly sensitive to sound, so it’s important that any pets I host are calm and relatively quiet. While I generally don’t board dogs at this time, I may make exceptions for certain small, quiet breeds — such as older Shih Tzus — who are known for their gentle, quiet temperament and cuddly nature. Please note that other small breeds like dachshunds or beagles, which tend to be more vocal, unfortunately wouldn’t be a good fit for our environment. Of course, I understand that every animal has its own personality, so if you believe your pet is especially calm, feel free to reach out and we can discuss! I live near a walking path that’s perfect for regular walks and potty breaks. I’m happy to provide exercise and fresh air as part of their daily routine. I always follow the pet’s normal routine as much as possible, and I’ll communicate closely with you to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in my home or yours.

About: Growing up I have lived with dogs of all sizes and other animals such as farm animals my entire life. I know how to care for a pet to give them the best life possible, including all needed medications. Pets are family and they bring a lot of joy and meaning into our lives. I have a talent for taking great dog pictures, which I can send for updates! I believe dogs make our lives whole, so I will give your fur baby/ies the care and attention they need to stay happy and healthy. My 18 Ib long haired dachshund is great with other animals and loves to socialize with my parents dogs and dogs at the park, walks, shopping, etc.! I take Rico on morning walks every morning, afternoon, and then to the dog park every evening, I live close to our neighborhood dog park so I always take him there to run around and play fetch. I can also throw in a free bath. I always make time for pet care! I walk my own dog daily and my dog is in love with our friendly neighborhood dog park. I’m excited to help care for others’ pets when they are busy/unavailable. The majority of my availability is over the weekends; however, i have a lot more free time now so please message me to better arrange as I have a lot more flexibility. I have had many dogs growing up over the years and have a friendly long haired dachshund wiener dog of my own! I’m very close to my neighborhood dog park and have side walks I could easily take the dogs for a nice little stroll around the block. I’m able to crate your dog to fit their needs, schedule, and preferences. There is always water available, and will check by the hour for bathroom breaks, and can send you pictures and videos every few hours to inform you on how everything is going. I make sure to ask questions right away and as needed to best care for pets in all environments.

Anyone who trusts Nela with their pets can feel confident they’re in great hands.

I’ve seen Gloria with Rico and she would be a perfect candidate for a pet sitter. She takes him to the park which he loves and also finds fellow dog lovers to come with so that Rico has a friend. He loves playing outside her apartment with all his toys and going on walks with her, even though his little legs don’t let him go very far. She has trained him on fetch and he loves it, he also loves playing tug of war with Gloria on the couch. She takes very good care of him and he’s a happy dog.
