Dog Sitting Nixa

About: I am a dependable and loving pet owner who treats every pet like family. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have always loved animals, growing up I've had cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters, ferrets.. I’m open to loving all kinds. I currently spoil my three cats and my two dogs, I couldn’t imagine life without them and will care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for mine. I have personal experience caring for high-energy dogs, gentle seniors, and cats with very different temperaments. Each pet has their own personality and needs. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and consistency! I work weekdays in the morning/afternoon. I make my own schedule though so I can be flexible for potty breaks and pets needs. Available after 3pm weekdays and have full weekend availability. I have a fenced yard and two dogs and three cats. When away my dogs are allowed to roam but if your pet needs crated or their own space that is completely possible. I am very pet friendly and put my pets before anything, they will be well taken care of.

About: I’m a stay at home mom who manages our small hobby farm. I have ten years of hands-on animal care and I have been around many dogs in that time. I am very active and love to be outside, rain or shine. I have a 6 year old mix we rescued from a shelter I volunteer at locally. We got her when she was just a year old and struggling to acclimate. She’s our little couch potato and will snuggle anyone. She is the most kind and gentle momma. I have experience with high energy and high anxiety dogs. No dog is too big or too small for me. I also have experience giving dogs medication and feeding on schedules. I like to go above and beyond to ensure your pets get treated like mine would. I work from home managing our small hobby farm. I make my own schedule so I can be flexible most days! I am up at 6 am with the sun and available. I respect your home and your animal just as I would my own. I know it can be stressful having someone in your home and around your pets so I communicate a lot! My home has a large 6 ft. fenced in yard and beyond that is our fields. The farm is separate from the home and yard area and your pet will never go up to the farm.

About: I get asked to pet sit for friends and family all the time. I dont just do 10 minute check in's just to feed them and let them go potty. I play with them, spoil them with treats and loves, keep them company for a bit, all of it. I just graduated from high-school, so I have a lot of free time on my hands and I would love to spend it taking care of animals so family's dont have to worry about them while away from home. I do have a part time job, but it will be no problem to work around any schedule! I have 6 dogs, Ive been around a ton more, of all sizes and personalities. I love all dogs and I hope all dogs love me. Getting a dog to go potty or get in their crate is no problem for me, I can even teach them some helpful tricks like, sit, lay down, stay, all sorts.

“Katelyn was great with my cat, and he absolutely loved her. She followed my exact schedule & instructions for feeding and hung out with him for petting after he ate (which he loved). I would use her service again!”

“Olivia watched over our fur baby with the utmost care and diligence! Her reports were thorough, and her communication was spectacular. This was the longest my husband and I had left our cat, and we were nervous about it. Olivia put our minds to ease because of her open communication and frequent updates. We knew our boy was getting the best care possible, so we could truly relax and enjoy our trip. She truly went above and beyond, not just keeping our cat happy and healthy, but Olivia also took care of our home and kept it tidy and clean. I cannot recommend her enough! She truly cares about the pets she watches, and she is just a genuinely kind and dedicated person. You will not be disappointed by booking with her!”

“Evie did great checking in on our animals while we were out of town. Our dogs have big personalities and this was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous. Evie came to meet them first and seemed completely calm and comfortable from meet and greet to last visit. She even cleaned up messes they made. We are very happy with the service we got!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years through both personal pet ownership and volunteer work. I’ve spent time helping at shelters and rescues, giving me experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—including shy rescues and high-energy cats/pups. Over the years, I’ve handled feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and giving lots of love and attention. Volunteering taught me patience and how to adapt to each pet’s personality, whether they need extra cuddles, space, or high-energy play. I truly see pets as family, and I’ll make sure yours feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I’m around all day to keep your pet company! I can take quick breaks for walks, playtime, or potty breaks, and they’ll get lots of love and attention. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following their routines and preferences closely. I keep a clean, calm environment and make sure pets are always secure—whether that means double-checking gates, using leashes properly, or keeping toxic items out of reach. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pet is happy and safe.

“Meryk did a great job making sure Big Boy was happy and cared for while I was at work. He even stayed a few extra minutes extra to play with the cat wand and sent pictures! 10/10 will hire again.”

About: I have always had pets (dogs mostly) and love them! I will love your babies as if they were my own! I hope you pick me! I have recently retired and am looking for something gratifying to help other Dog owners with the care of their pet! I know how stressful it can be when you have to leave your pet for any length of time and would love to relieve that stress for you! 😊 I have a fenced in yard with a senior dog, Bella. She is such a great dog and is so aloof, like nothing bothers her! I am unable to board certain breeds due to home insurance restrictions and my senior dog so may not be able to accept every request, however, I haven’t turned one down yet!

“This is the second time we've had Breelyn watch our kitties and she was incredible once again! Plenty of pictures each visit of them being very well cared for.”

“Garrett was great while giving our two Boxer dogs a potty break once a day for 2 weeks! He was patient with our youngest who was shy and would try to hide from him. He was also patient with our oldest, who is a typical Boxer and is very rambunctious! He also didn’t just let them out to potty, he played with them a bit, which we appreciated!! Garrett was prompt and respectful of our home; he cleaned up an accident on the first day when one of our dogs was excited to see him. He also communicated professionally and sent pictures daily. We hope to use Garrett is available again when we need pet services!!”

“Maria was SO amazing. She was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond. She took plenty of pictures and was very communicative ! I will now only book with her.”

About: I grew up with a variety of animals at a young age, always taking care to learn their personalities and individual needs. I was entrusted with pet sitting for friends and family growing up. I currently work full time, ideal pet drop ins would be early in the morning(6am-7:15am) and the afternoons or evenings from 4:30-9pm depending on location. Mondays 4:30-5pm or after 6:30pm. The weekends allow me more frequent, open, and flexible availability for drop ins and walks. I’m open to discussing any times that you need and trying to find a compromise! While caring for pets I like to keep them within eye sight at all times while interacting based on their body language and personality type.

About: Growing up I’ve worked with dog’s and sometimes cat’s whether it’s with family, friends or even my neighbors! From a very young age others have relied on me to give their pet’s the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently working part-time, so I have more than enough time to give your pup attention. I’m available during the weekdays from 7am - 1pm and all day on weekends. I currently have a flexible schedule which gives me time to give your pet the attention they need. I can work most weekdays and I can also work around their routines to help them feel comfortable, and cared for.

“Finicky kitty approved! Kelly took great care of our cat and aging dog. We will definitely book again!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for most of my adult years. I have had all of my dogs from the time they were small puppies until they have become adult and senior dogs. I have worked with both large and small breeds, such as Beagles and German Shepherds. I currently foster/volunteer for Rescue One and enjoy every minute of it. To ensure you and your pet are comfortable, I provide a free meet and greet. I am available early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings during the week. I am more flexible with times on the weekends. However, please feel free to message your needs and I will see if I can accommodate. I am accustomed to set schedules with pets, enrichment, and exercise. I practice strict leash security and will double check all gates, fence, and doors before leaving. There will be 100% transparency and regular, proactive communication with frequent updates and photos or videos. I will adhere to all instructions and specific routines and rules. I am always prompt and respectful.

“Taylor was great with my babies, I’m definitely a worrier and hate leaving my dogs but it was definitely a relief to know they’re being well taken care of in the comfort of their own home. She was very patient and understanding with my girl Cleo who is terribly shy and can be wary of strangers. We had a couple meet and greets ahead of time and she really went out of her way to accommodate my girl. My first time using a pet sitter that wasn’t a personal friend who knows my dogs well and any worry I had was squashed very quickly. The constant updates definitely put me at ease as much as possible when I’m away from my kids. Even brought in some auto ship Chewy packages that happened to be timed for the days we were away. Being able to avoid a boarding facility for my babies was great since my nervous girl tends to not trust strangers when it comes to bathroom breaks, and I worried she wouldn’t eat in a facility due to stress. Not to mention being able to see my dogs as soon as we got back from our trip is the best. Would definitely recommend and use her in the future.”

“Meredith is wonderful and has been such a huge help to Jax and I! She is prompt, thorough and communicative every time she drops in to check on him and always makes sure he gets plenty of attention along with the basics I request of her. It's obvious she has a large capacity of care for the animals she provides case to and I don't think I could have made a better decision for a sitter. ❤️ ? Thank you, Meredith!”

“Emilyn took good care of our fur babies. She was here to feed them and let them out when she was supposed to. She played with them and petted them.”

“Brittney was so amazing. She went above and beyond my expectations. I will defiantly use her again. She even left my dog a goodie bag, and a thank you card. Rover please make sure take care of this employee. Brittney, thank you for all you did for my dog and I. Thank you for bringing in my hello fresh and putting it away. You are amazing.”
