Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced pet sitter
I have been a pet sitter for 5 years now, with dozens of clients who frequently teach back out to me to watch their pets again. I have worked as a veterinary assistant as well as a kennel attendant for two summers and have a significant amount of experience caring for pets and their various needs. I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I also have experience working with reactive dogs insuring that your dog will be fully comfortable with me while you are gone.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am comfortable working with any sort of home from apartments to fenced in back yards. I am also fully commited to caring for your pets however they are used to being treated. This includes unconventional meal times, specific schedules that need to be followed and more. I also have experience working with animal medication and would be able to give your pet any medications they need.
Ratings and reviews
Nix is the best! Nix is knowledgeable and intuitive about dogs in a way that meets the needs of pet owners like myself who have very sensitive rescue dogs with special needs. My dog is easily frightened and Nix was able to befriend him almost immediately by exhibiting a sense of calm and taking the lead from him. I will always appreciate Nix for being willing to work with me and help our dog have such a positive experience. Nix is also a great communicator.
When I reached out to Nix, I explained that my reactive dog found it hard to have strangers in the house with her. Nix was willing to put in the time and effort to get to know Ruby. It took a week of short daily visits, and Ruby welcomed Nix into our home! We are fortunate to have found Nix and thankful for all of the loving visits she has made since Spring 2025. I always appreciate the sweet photos we get while away. Birgit C.
Nix does a wonderful job caring for my small dog and cat while I'm out of town. My dog is particularly needy and anxious, but I know I can rest easy when Nix is caring for him. Would definitely recommend for all your pet care needs!
Nix, Was great with our 3 dogs, especially our very energetic border collie mix who thinks she is a lap dog. The dogs adjusted quickly to having her in our home, which was the 1st time we had a sitter come to our house. She was quick to respond to any questions and sent pictures. We would totally use Nix again in the future.
We are neighbors of Nix' family and she has pet sat for us a few times now over three years when we take family trips and leave the girls home. I do not worry leaving them in Nix' care! She is very loving and the girls love that! She spends nights when we go away and is even willing to sleep in our room, where the dogs normally sleep as well to keep them the most comfortable. Nix is a valuable pet caretaker and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring individual to take care of their fur babies.
Nix does an incredible job caring for our two 90+ pound Bernedoodles, Ruby & Hazel! They absolutely love when Nix comes to spend the weekend with them. Nix is incredibly reliable, dependable, and trustworthy—I never have to worry about a thing when Nix is here taking care of our girls. We have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such great hands. We couldn’t recommend Nix more highly—five stars from us! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Schedule
I am a student at the University of Hartford, so Monday through Thursday I would be stopping by between classes spending as much time with them as possible. Friday through Sunday I have no classes and so would be able to spend nearly the whole day with your pet.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsNix can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know if your pet is reactive to people covering their heads with hats and such. I wear a hijab and so I might not be a good fit for these dogs. Please let me know your dog's medical information, if there are any conditions I should know of or any medications I'd need to administer. If you know how long your dog is typically okay home alone that'd be very helpful. I'm a college student and so will be coming and going from classes and I always want to make sure your dog is not left alone too long.
