In-home pet care — find a pet sitter
A pet sitter visits your pets while you are on vacation or a business trip: feeds the cat, scoops the litter box, changes the parrot's water, cleans a cage, terrarium or aquarium. Who comes is up to you: pick a sitter by prices and reviews, or describe the visits in an order and wait for responses.
Pet sitters
How much a pet sitter costs
What affects the price
Visits per day
One visit a day is often enough for a cat, while a dog or a puppy needs checking on more often. The price is usually per visit or per day.
Number and kinds of pets
Several cats, a parrot and an aquarium in one apartment need more time for feeding and cleaning than a single hamster.
Medication and special needs
Medication on a schedule set by a vet, care for an elderly animal or a complex feeding routine take more time and attention.
Aquarium size and type
A large or saltwater aquarium takes longer and is harder to maintain than a small freshwater one, and filter media are often paid for separately.
Travel and visit length
The sitter travels to you every time, so a long trip adds to the price of every visit, and a long visit with play and brushing costs more than a quick feed and litter box clean.
Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose a pet sitter
- 1
Not just cats and dogs
If you have a parrot, a turtle or a snake, ask whether the sitter has looked after such animals and what exactly they did: feeding, cleaning the cage, checking the terrarium lamp.
- 2
Meeting before you leave
Invite the sitter to meet in advance: show where the food, the litter box and any medication are, hand over the keys and see how your pet reacts to them.
- 3
If your pet falls ill
Agree on which vet clinic to go to, whom the sitter calls if the animal seems unwell, and who approves the expenses.
- 4
The aquarium and its filter
Not every pet sitter maintains aquariums. Ask how they clean the filter: the sponge is usually rinsed in water from the tank, not under the tap, to keep the beneficial bacteria.
- 5
Photos after every visit
Agree that you will get a photo or a short video after each visit: it shows that the pet has eaten and the litter box or cage is clean.
What to put in the order
Which pets and how many: species, breed, age
What to do during a visit: feed, change the water, clean the litter box, cage or terrarium
How many visits a day and for how many days care is needed
Special food or medication prescribed by a vet, if needed
For an aquarium: its volume, freshwater or saltwater, a water change or a full clean
Whether the pet hides from strangers and lets people handle it
Questions about Nexperity
How Nexperity works — separately for clients and for specialists
For clients
Nothing. Searching for specialists, sending requests, posting orders and receiving responses are free.
No. You agree the price and the payment method with the specialist and pay them directly. Nexperity does not take payments and is not a party to your deal.
A request goes to one specialist — from their profile. An order is posted for everyone: specialists send you responses, and you choose which one to accept.
How the specialist will do the task, a price — fixed, a range, hourly or “on request” — and, optionally, an estimated timeline.
30 days from publication: all that time it is visible in the feed and specialists can send responses. The exact end date and time are shown on the order in your account. From that moment the order is closed and a response can no longer be accepted. You can cancel it earlier, and if no specialist turned up, post a new one.
Yes: you can hide your name and photo in an order. The anonymity lasts until acceptance — the specialist whose response you accept sees your name and photo. The task description is public: anyone visiting the site can read it.
Only after acceptance — when you accept their response or they accept your request. And only the contacts you chose to show.
After acceptance you see the contacts the specialist chose to show, and they see the ones you chose. You can also message on Nexperity when the chat is on: on an order you decide that, on a direct request the specialist does.
Once the work is done, mark the order or the collaboration completed in your account — then you can say whether you recommend the specialist. A review can only be left for a collaboration that happened through Nexperity: one per specialist, which you can change or delete at any time.
For specialists
Nothing for now: this is the free period, and no subscription is needed yet. Nexperity takes no commission on deals — you settle with the client directly.
Sign up, fill in your specialist profile and add your services — each with a category, a description and a price. Once the profile is complete, it appears in search and on the category pages.
Two ways: clients send you requests from your profile, which you can accept or decline; and you see public orders in your categories in your account and can respond to them.
You describe how you will do the task and give a price and, optionally, a timeline. The client compares responses and accepts one.
Contacts set to “Public” are visible to everyone on your profile. A client sees contacts set to “After connection” once you accept their request or they accept your response. “Hidden” ones are not revealed in new connections: a contact already revealed to a client stays visible to them.
Each service has a fixed price, a range, an hourly rate or “on request”. Prices show on your profile and in search results, and you agree the final price with the client.
Through search and the category pages of your services. The order depends on your clients' reviews — how many of them recommend you — and in search also on how well your services match the query.
A photo, a description, your region and way of working — online or in person — your contacts and a portfolio: photos of your work, each with a short caption if you like.
A client leaves a review after completed work, and only for a collaboration through Nexperity: they say whether they recommend you and may add a few words. Each client counts once, however many times you work together.
