Personalized care for your dog or cat - Nixon

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Nixon
About: I'm a mature pet/house sitter who will take great care of your pets and leave your house as clean as you left it and perhaps cleaner. I stay at your house every night leaving only for errands or a lunch/dinner out. I enjoy getting your pet outside for walks and play. I have taken care of cats, goats, chickens, horses, a mule and a donkey, I don't mind getting my hands dirty. I am retired so I am very flexible but prefer a few days notice, however if you need a pet/house sitter on a same day notice it's possible I can accommodate you. I have a minimum 2 night stay requirement, also, if you need just one evening that is a possibility as well, it just depends on where you are located. I will care for your pet in your home in the way that you instruct me to. If you have special commands I will need to know about them. If you would like to meet me before starting your job we can schedule a FaceTime chat or I can meet face to face with reasonable notice.

“Amaya was fantastic! She was right on time and sent us pictures and videos of our cat to show us that he was doing fine. We were reassured that he was relaxed, well-fed, and happy while we were away. We will definitely be calling her again and highly recommend her services.”


About: I have extensive experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable with everything from playful kittens to senior cats who need extra patience and care. With over 5 years as a veterinary assistant, I can administer medications (oral, topical, and injections if needed), monitor for health concerns, and ensure your cat stays safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I respect feline boundaries and take time to build trust with shy or anxious cats.

“Mallory took great care of our dog, Nell, during her drop-in visits. She walked Nell, made sure she always had fresh water, and kept me updated after each visit with details about her bathroom breaks, attitude, and activity level. Mallory was also incredibly flexible and accommodating by meeting with us early in the morning before I left for work so she could do a meet-and-greet and get to know Nell beforehand. I really appreciated her reliability, communication, and genuine care for my dog. I would absolutely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again.”


“Jonatan has house sit for us and done drop-ins. He's made friends with all of our animals (cats included!) and kept us updated at all times. Highly recommended and we'll be using him again for sure!”

About: There’s nothing sweeter than seeing a happy dog having fun and feeling content, safe and cared for. They bring unconditional love and devotion into our lives. This is a gift they give to us and they should be valued, rewarded and cared for properly all their lives. I have volunteered as a dog walker for Horse Creek Dog Villa for almost 2 years. I enjoy it as much as the dogs, if not more! I've been vetted with a background check by them as well as Rover. My family and I love and care for our pets as family because they are; they just have different body types. :) I've had cats ever since high school; I can't imagine my home without them. From kittens to seniors; I've lovingly cared for my cats through all stages to end of life. I prepare their food myself and keep them feeling safe and secure. I will responsibly and lovingly care for your pet and look forward to providing this service for your family. I look forward to discussing your pet's individual needs and care plan in order to make them as happy and comfy as possible while they wait for your return home to them. I also provide house sitting based on the services needed. I will provide care for your pets based on their individual needs and care plan. I look forward to discussing what makes your pet/s special and what the requirements are for their care. I would like to get to know them and have them look forward to my visits with them. I know what it's like to have to be away from home as I traveled to care for my parents. I had complete peace of mind knowing my cats were cared for properly and I will see that you have this same level of confidence in my services. Pets are like people and have unique personalities, preferences and needs. Some are outgoing, some are shy and everything in between. Please let me know what your pets enjoy, what makes them feel safe and content and the fun things they like to do.

About: I grew up on a farm and have spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds. My experience includes both everyday and medical care for livestock and household pets, giving me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and individual needs. I have implemented treat based training as well as clicker training with my own pet. Over the years, my family bred and raised both small and large dog breeds, ranging from Beagles to Great Pyrenees. This hands-on experience has given me confidence working with animals of all temperaments, sizes, and energy levels — from high-energy working dogs to elderly and disabled pets requiring extra patience and specialized care. Animal care has always been a true passion of mine. I believe animals are a gift to everyone they meet, and I am committed to providing compassionate, reliable, and attentive care to every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, allowing me to provide reliable, flexible, and attentive care for every animal I work with. I also attend school virtually while completing my degree in therapy, which gives me the ability to maintain a consistent schedule dedicated to pet care. My long-term goal is to open a therapy practice incorporating equine-assisted therapy to help support and heal others through the connection between humans and animals. I prioritize providing care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and able to maintain their normal routines and environment. I believe staying in a familiar space helps reduce stress and anxiety while allowing pets to feel safe and secure. I take the time to follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and any special needs. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while treating both your pets and your home with the highest level of respect and professionalism.
