“Kay and Julian are absolute gems! They took incredible care of our two cats, Orville and Wilbur, for about a month while we were away. Not only did they keep us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos, but they also sent the cutest videos of them playing with our little monsters. They truly went above and beyond compared to most pet sitters we’ve used in the past. It was clear our cats were happy, healthy, and loved while we were gone. We highly recommend Kay and Julian to anyone looking for caring, reliable, and genuinely wonderful cat sitters!”


About: If there’s one thing I love almost as much as my family — it’s pet sitting. For me, pet-sitting has always been a very rewarding experience. Having your pet stay in your own home means he/she is in familiar surroundings while you are away. Thanks to smartphones and email, it makes it easier for you to check in daily with updates and pictures. You’ll know yours is just fine while you’re gone. I have house-sat for many friends with both cats and dogs ranging from 5lbs to over 60lbs+. I have sat for kittens as well as full grown pit bulls. Dog walking and litter boxes do not bother me. I do work FT on weekdays but I can leave during my 1 hr lunch period. I would be with your pet every morning and at night. I do not travel, nor have much of a social life that would take me away. I don’t do much boarding, but when I house sit I follow all instructions. I also do not allow others to enter the home unless otherwise accepted.

“Alyssa was great with our pups! She spent fun quality time with them and followed our directions perfectly. I felt so much better that she was coming over and taking care of them. We will definitely ask her to help us again!”


About: I’ve been on this earth for 26 years and have done dog sitting jobs for family members and close friends growing up, and periodically for coworkers during my time in the military so far. I own 3 dogs (2 huskies and a chihuahua) and I’ve had them in my life for over 7 years. I cannot stress this enough that I will communicate to the fullest extent and care for your pets like they were my own. Any messes that happen I will gladly clean up. I want to provide a stress-free experience for you and your pets while you are away! I am in the military and work full time, however, I will be available for periodic drop-ins to hang out with your pups and let them run around! I have a fenced yard and my dogs are all friendly and well behaved. They sleep in their crates at night and are free to roam around and play while I am home.


“So happy to find someone reliable and trustworthy with our pups. We are already scheduled for future services with Aaron and I would highly recommend. -Nick and Kim”


About: Pets have always had a special place in my heart! I watched everyone’s fur babies in the neighborhood growing up and could never get enough of them. My family always had multiple pets in the home at a time spanning from puppies, elders and disabled pups. I’m excited to meet and care for your fur baby! Monday through Friday, I work 8-5 and I have an hour lunch break from 11-12. My weekends are wide open and ready to work with your scheduling needs! No one knows your pet quite like you do! I will adapt to the environment you’ve created for your animal and keep to their routine, while making sure they are cozy and having fun!

About: With 15 years of pet care experience, I've built a reputation as the sitter friends and family turn to when they need someone they can truly trust. Growing up surrounded by dogs and cats gave me an intuitive understanding of pet behavior, and over the years I've cared for countless breeds - from gentle giants to tiny lap dogs, anxious rescues to energetic puppies. What makes me different is my versatility and adaptability. I'm equally comfortable managing multi-dog households, caring for dogs and cats simultaneously, and adjusting to each pet's unique personality and needs. Whether you have a senior dog requiring gentle, patient care or a high-energy breed that needs extra playtime, I know how to read their cues and provide exactly what they need to feel safe and loved. My experience with diverse breeds and household dynamics means I can handle whatever curveballs your pets might throw - from managing pack dynamics to understanding breed-specific behaviors. I take pride in maintaining each pet's individual routine while ensuring harmony in multi-pet homes. You'll receive regular updates and photos throughout my visits, so you can relax knowing your furry family members are not just being watched, but truly cared for by someone who understands that every pet is someone's beloved companion. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet's needs. Having recently moved to the White Sands area, I'm excited to build lasting relationships with local pet owners and become a trusted part of this community. My open availability means I can easily accommodate various scheduling needs - whether you need early morning walks, midday check-ins, overnight stays, or last-minute care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet sitting never feels like work to me. It's actually the highlight of my day! I'm happy to work around your pet's established routine and can be flexible with timing to ensure they receive consistent, reliable care. Whether your pet thrives on a strict schedule or is more go-with-the-flow, I'll adapt to what works best for them and your family. I believe the key to excellent pet care is maintaining consistency with your pet's established routine and household rules. When caring for pets in your home, I take detailed notes about their daily schedule, feeding times, favorite spots, and any house rules—whether that means staying off certain furniture or having free rein of the couch. Your pet's comfort stems from familiarity, so I ensure that nothing changes from their normal routine. I provide the same level of attentive care - regular exercise, plenty of affection, and constant supervision. I also maintain open communication throughout, sending updates and photos so you can see how well your pet is settling in and enjoying their time with me.

About: Taking care of a dog is one of the most rewarding and eye-opening experiences I’ve had. Last summer, I had the opportunity to look after my cousin’s Labrador Retriever, Max, for two weeks while they were on vacation. Although I was excited at first, I quickly realized that dog care involves more than just playing fetch and giving treats. The first challenge was adjusting to Max’s daily routine. He needed to be fed twice a day, walked at least three times, and had a habit of waking up early for his morning stroll. At first, I struggled to keep up, especially with the early mornings. But over time, I began to appreciate the routine. It taught me discipline and helped me become more organized with my time. One of the most important lessons I learned was the importance of communication and observation. Max couldn’t speak, of course, but his body language told me everything I needed to know. When he was anxious, he would pace and whine. When he was happy, he wagged his tail and jumped around. I learned how to respond to his needs by watching him closely, whether it was giving him more water, comforting him during thunderstorms, or simply playing with him when he was bored. There were also fun and heartwarming moments. Max loved the park, and I began to enjoy our walks as a time to unwind and bond. We developed a rhythm—he’d chase a ball, bring it back, then rest beside me while I read on a bench. He became more than a pet; he was a companion who brightened each day. Overall, taking care of Max taught me responsibility, empathy, and patience. It was a learning experience that went far beyond pet care—it helped me grow as a person. I now understand what it takes to care for another living being, and I carry those lessons with me everyday. I normally walk to the park in the morning around 8am. Long rest until noon in which I'll take dogs to fenced in areas and let them play. Afternoons I'm getting to my overnight stays where I can end the night. I do not have a vehicle so everything is though walking. I do have a fenced in area at home if needed but all walks should be within your area.

“Jessica was really wonderful with our dogs! She was able to help our "emotional" dane eat while we were gone, which is truly difficult. Our dogs loved her. Will definitely request her again!”


“Carolyn was absolutely great!!! My dogs fell in love with her right away. Carolyn has a love for animals and is happy to give my 3 babies all of the attention they want. I will definitely be booking her again.”


About: Hi, my name is Elle and I moved here to Biloxi in May. I have one dog named Jasper. He may have a little underbite that looks threatening, but don’t be fooled, he is the sweetest little cuddle bug around. I love doing outdoor activities. I take Jasper hiking, alongside me on bike rides, runs, beaches, and walks. We haven’t braved the kayak or paddle board yet but once he’s more comfy in the water—it’s game on. Although I do enjoy a lot of outdoor activities, I also like to have a good book and curl up with Jasper on my couch to get some relaxation in. If there’s anything else you would like to know, feel free to message me and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible! I work 8-4 during the week, but am home throughout the evenings and mostly all day during the weekend. I walk Jasper each morning and can easily add another doggo or two to get in some exercise before the day starts. We play fetch in the afternoon for a short while—the heat index is killer, so we only do it a small amount of time. Caring for a pet(s) is engrained in my everyday routine. I don’t plan anything without a thought of how to take care of Jasper and any other babies I might have at the time. Jasper is my first baby, yours will be no different. They are allowed on the furniture and beds. They can free roam (as long as that’s their usual routine and they aren’t destructive).

About: I've taken care of pets for co-workers going back home for weeks at a time. I've taken care of dogs, cats, snakes, and lizards ! I prefer weekend just so I can spend time with the pets and keep them occupied. Although I have a schedule that changes constant during the week days. I tend to try and let all the energy out of pets before leaving every visit. If there are any special requests to care for your pets I would not hesitate

Adam C.
“Adam has cared about and for animals since a young age. His family brought home a puppy when he was 9 years old and he was given the privilege of naming her. Katie was with his family for 16 years. He played a large role in caring for her, beginning with helping to train her as a young puppy. In addition to helping with Katie on a regular basis, he provided pet sitting services to neighbors on several occasions. During the process of becoming an Eagle Scout, he chose to focus his service project on making dog beds for local shelters. His passion for caring for animals shines through when he interacts with friends' and neighbors pets. He is thoughtful and attentive to their needs. You can count on him to be reliable when caring for all animals and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to look after their pets.”
