Pet care experience

Animal lover Pre-Veterinary student

Hey, my name is Nyssa. I'm from a small town in rural Montana where I grew up with four of my own dogs, that I took care of from a young age. I also grew up taking care of my grandmother's five dogs when she needed assistance. My family owns a farm where I was exposed to all species of animals, making me want to become a veterinarian. I currently attend MSU to get my undergrad and then I will go on to veterinary school. I've been house sitting for 3 years for people outside of my family in my home town. I have experience with senior dogs, really young dogs, cats and other backyard pets. I've worked in a vet clinic for 5 years and have lots of experiences with my own animals along with other people's animals.

Safety, trust & environment

While house sitting your dog, I follow directions well so if there are certain feeding times or specific routines that your pet is used to, I will make sure their routines stay the same through my stay. I have lots of experience with a variety of diffrent dogs, both from my own pets, other clients, and working at a vet clinic. I understand the anxiety of having to leave your animals and house in the hands of someone else, but I grew up in 4-H and FFA that taught me to be respectful and leave the place in better shape that it was before. I am able to handle situations that come up as well due to my variety of experiences in animal handing at the veterinary clinic.

Nyssa took great care of my dog and home. She sent pictures like I asked and was very communicative. I would recommend and plan to use her again in the future.

Nyssa does a great job walking our two dogs! She is reliable, shows up when she says she will, and gives the dogs a good, long walk. Even my doodle, who is leery of new people, likes her.

Schedule

I grew up doing chores morning and night for farm animals so I am used to taking care of pets on the daily basis. I'm a person that loves to be outside and I enjoy taking walks everyday. This ensures dogs get the exercise they need. While college classes get busy, having a pet that needs to be taken care of allows for a nice break from studying.

Before caring for your animals, I would like to know if there are any special instructions. I pay attention to these instructions, such as aggression towards other dogs, food issues, or toys concerns. I want to know if they have a medical issue that would need addressing when I am with them. Also if they have allergies or if they are diabetic. Finally just for emergencies, knowing your pets veterinarian contact information would be beneficial.
