“This is Nala's third vacation with Samantha and Bubba's second. They were obviously well taken care of and loved on for the entire time. Bubba has been getting more exposure to new people, which is helping his shyness. I loved all the updates I was given multiple times a day. I know my pups are going to miss her a lot.”
“Mary was great with the dogs and sent helpful photos in video. It was great to know the pups were in good hands during our wedding. We also appreciated her meeting them prior to the stay. Thank you Mary”
“Haley was great with my almost 100 pound boy! She cleaned up and left my house better than how I left it for her. She was communicative and took my needs seriously!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five-Star Pet from Nexsy! We couldn’t be more grateful to have found Nexsy! From the moment we met her, it was clear she has a true gift with animals. Our three dogs and two cats took to her immediately — and that alone speaks volumes! Nexsy didn’t just “watch” our pets; she genuinely cared for them as if they were her own. Updates came regularly with thoughtful messages, adorable photos, and sweet little anecdotes that brought so much peace of mind while we were away. We could tell our furry family members were not just safe, but happy and thriving in her care. She played with the dogs, gave them tons of attention, and kept the cats content and calm, sticking to their routines and making sure everyone felt loved. On top of all that, Nexsy also took amazing care of our plants. It’s such a relief to come home to happy pets and thriving greenery. It’s rare to find someone so professional, trustworthy, and warm-hearted. Nexsy is everything you could hope for in a pet sitter — dependable, kind, communicative, and clearly loves what she does. We came home to relaxed, happy pets, flourishing plants, and a home that was just as we left it. We wholeheartedly recommend Nexsy to anyone looking for truly exceptional care. Cindy M”

She's so polite and absolutely loving to the dogs as soon as she arrived. Abby and Lily took to her right away. She sent pictures and updates regularly. We didn't worry about the pups once while we're were away. When we came back the house didn't even look like she was here! We definitely recommend EJ and we will absolutely be using her services again. ♡♡♡ thank you EJ!! Annie and Jeff and, of course, Abby and Lily ♡”

Erin went above and beyond by bringing in mail and trash can, watering plants and even reached out to see when Riley could go on the lawn after it was fertilized. Erin is professional and responsive. We will definitely be booking with Erin again!”

I am good at following directions no matter how bizarre it may be. The safety of your pet especially in their own home is my top priority.
“Anna was such a great sitter for my dog Stick. I was away with little to no cell service, yet Anna still left me multiple messages and photos letting me know how everything was going. Anna also made sure that everything she needed from me in regards to caring for Stick was taken care of before I left. This made me feel very confident in her abilities to care for my little guy. I would highly recommended.”

Matt stayed with our two cats and administered insulin to our oldest cat Mojo despite some challenges with Mojo being uncooperative. Matt was good at communicating any issues and seeking help. He cared for our house very well and left it clean and in good shape. I would recommend Matt.
Samantha does an awesome job house sitting Peaches! Thank you for all you do while being at our home!!
Can’t recommend Audrey more! This was our second year in a row hiring her while away on summer vacation - she’s such a great person, communication is stellar, our dog Maisie loves her and she also took great care of our home while we were away. Thank you so incredibly much, Audrey! You’re the very best!
Julissa was wonderful! We have a lot of pets and she handled everyone with ease. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again! Thank you so much!
We booked Haley to house sit with our senior dog Reba. Haley was thorough in getting to know Reba and her needs starting with a meet and greet prior to scheduled dates. We received pictures and updates daily. Haley was accommodating in helping us water plants, collecting mail. Haley went above and beyond while she stayed in our home and we would definitely rebook
