Cat Sitting in Artesia

“Lexi has consistently been great. This time we had an emergency come up and needed her to stay longer, she was so flexible and easy to work with. Always sends lots of pics and does great.”

Brittany L.

“Animals happy and healthy when we came back. Reliable sitter”

“Erin is responsive and thorough -- you know you can trust her with your pet. She did an excellent job on the drop-in visit for my cat. I'll definitely be using her services again!”

Grace B.

“Had to go out of town last minute and Callie stepped up to help out with our three dogs. Being retired, they’re used to someone being home all day. Great piece of mind to have a person stop in to break up their day inside and go outside for a short period.”

Bob M.

“Such a wonderful, sweet person, and the dogs love her -”

About: I love all animals and grew up around horses, dogs, and cats! i have 2+ years of experience dog/cat sitting for neighbors and loved ones. I also worked at a doggy daycare as a boarder and daycare attendant!! My life would not be the same without animals! I am currently not working so I have plenty of time to play w/ your pets! I am in Starkville full-time so my schedule is very flexible and easy to work with! My number one priority is safety! I know how tough it is leaving your furry friends in someone else’s care so I always do my best in promoting their safety and well-being.

“Maya did an excellent job taking care of my cat. She got my instructions perfectly and kept me posted on my cat status every time. I will definitely ask her services again since she was so reliable!”

“Ada sent great pictures and details about how my cats were doing😊 Would definitely book with her again!”

About: Hi, I go by Milly! (Emily is my gov't name lol) and I've been amongst animals of all kinds my entire life; Pets, livestock, and even the occasional non-domesticated animal! I'm looking to mostly do Check-ins and Dog Walking services (pretty much anytime) as of right now through Rover. I currently own two Border Collie-mix dogs and one indoor cat. I grew up helping take care of our plethora of critters on and around farmland and in neighborhoods. Not only did I care for my own animals and learn their individual habits and needs, but I was also frequently hired to look after neighborhood pets of all sorts: Dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, reptiles/amphibians, and occasionally birds. I have also fostered many dogs and cats from shelters and have helped them find homes! I've worked with animals as small as mice and as large as horses and cattle, and obviously everything in between! I'd love to pet sit, do checkups, and dog walk in my free time, so that's why I'm here! Right now my schedule is flexible, so I'd like to take advantage of that and use my free time for pet care! I am often available 8am-10am, 3pm-5pm, and anytime after 9pm (if needed)! My schedule changes weekly, and in between work hours I have my own pets that I tend to as well. I've often already fit the care of other peoples' pets (and foster animals) into my schedule, so I'm willing to work towards what's best for everyone involved. While I don't currently accept clients' pets in my home, I have absolutely no problem commuting to your home to check in on your animal! I'm good with feedings, potty breaks, playtime, walking, and just a general checking in! I'm also comfortable giving medications if I'm clearly instructed.

“Mary was great, super responsive and easy to work with. My cats liked her as soon as they met her. Will definitely have her watch them again!”

About: "I treat every dog like family — giving them love, attention, and care tailored to their unique personality. With me, your furry friend gets more than just sitting; they get a trusted companion who understands their needs and keeps them happy and safe." I am free in the mornings depending on the schedule of my school I have to be at school at 10:30 or 12:05 and I am free in the afternoons on some days but until the first weekend of May I have rehearsal from 4-6 I will respect and clean the house and clean after myself, and I am very good at following instructions and making sure that your pet will be taken care of and spoiled !

About: Hello, there! Thanks for stopping by, we live on a little family farm located in the prairie of Columbus, Ms. Our little slice of heaven we like to call it. We have a few of our own critters here, too! Our 3 y old Great Dane, Beni. Our lab mix, Belle. 3 outdoor cats, and 1 diary cow! We all love happy visitors here! I love caring for all animals and would love to provide care to your fur babies in your own home, too!! I currently work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. Whether I’m giving care in my home or yours! We have a 13 acre unfenced farm, we are able to crate your dog, if needed. If caring for your pet in your own home, I am able to administer medications, walk dogs, feed, and water them.

“Very pleased with Sara’s care for our senior dog. She was very thoughtful when she did her drop in and got him all set up on the couch with his ramp and some HGTV. Will definitely use Sara again!”

About: I’ve loved and have been taken care of animals since I was a kid. Also I am currently attending school to specialize in animals behavior. I am currently working a part time job, so I have more than enough time on my hands to fit pet sitting in my schedule. I am very attentive to the pets at all time. I also make sure that anything that could possibly harm them isn’t in their vicinity.

About: I’ve had dogs in my home all my life. I’ve taken care of them and cherished them. I love playing with them and taking them for walks. I love all dogs of all sizes. Im a proud mom of three dogs; two labradoodles and one schnauzer! I am currently in school, but my schedule is mostly open! If your pet can be at home alone for a few hours then we will be a perfect match!! I’m very comfortable with whatever you prefer for your pet. Leaving at somewhat detailed instructions would be ideal. If you own cats I will scoop the litter box if needed. I will always contact you if I don’t understand something so you can rest assured that everything is being done correctly.

About: Hello! I have been a volunteer with the Humane Society since 2018 and have experience doing all sorts of things! I have overseen meet and greets with new owners, fed/watered dogs on a schedule, cleaned yards, walked dogs, watched over playtime in the yards with multiple dogs, dealt with puppies, trained puppies, handled senior dogs, and handled cats as well. I went through orientation and training in order to be in this position at the shelter, so I have a good understanding of animal behavior and treatment. I also have two dogs of my own back at home and have been around dogs my whole life. (I’m okay with snakes too, I’ve had one of my own). I have been a pet sitter for family friends as well and have been told that they love the way I care for their babies! I am an avid animal lover and plan to become a veterinary surgeon. I am currently at Mississippi State University in the pre-vet concentration of my animal and dairy sciences major! I am home from college for the summer, so my schedule is super open! I work part-time and shifts are only about 4 hours, so that leaves me plenty of time to give your pets the quality time that they deserve! I will be very dedicated to giving your fur babies the best care possible. My own dog is super active and she gets walked for an hour in the mornings, another shorter walk mid-day (weather permitting), and then another hour long walk in the evenings with plenty of play time in between! I will send daily updates and photos if you are away from home and I am doing drop in visits! I know that when pet parents are away, pets can become lonely and feel left out but I am here to make sure that they have fun and have a happy time! I have such a great passion for helping pets and will treat your babies like they’re my own!

“Summer took excellent care of our dogs and sent plenty of pictures, videos and a brief summary of each visit. She did things around the house that she didn’t have to do ensuring the well-being of our dogs. Great communication and I’d definitely recommend Summer.”

About: I am flexible with any care your pet may need. I have a direct line to a vet clinic where I also work at. I also accept pets with prescribed medications or special needs. Exotics are also welcome, and I provide services for large animal such as horses, livestock, and/or farm animals! I try to be as flexible as possible to work around my schedule. I go to school so most visits would be extended afternoon visits, but weekends would be completely open. I require detailed and clear instructions of the exact care you want your pet to have. Such as do they have specific feed or potty times etc. all written on a hard copy. I take your special care needs seriously and like to make sure everything is done correctly; therefore, please be available to answer a text or phone call at any time.

About: I have been learning about how to take care of dogs since I was 5 years old. That was when parents got me and my 2 older sisters a dachshund puppy that we then doted on for the next 17 years. Because of this, I am experienced in caring for and walking senior dogs, and understand the individuality of every dog’s path of aging. I’m currently taking graduate classes, but have free time on weekends and most mornings. Some days are more flexible than others, but most mornings and evenings are perfect for drop ins and walks I am not currently looking to house any pets in my home because I do have a cat who is very wary of strange animals. Despite how much I loved to spoil my own pets, I never engage in any behaviors or give pets any rewards that their owners did not explicitly say were appropriate.

About: I work at Shaggy Hound where we treat your dogs just like our own. I take care of dogs from 3 months to 17 years old. I can administer medications and keep them on a regular schedule. I can also start training your dog basic commands while they are in my care. I believe what sets me apart from other people is my knowledge and experience. I used to work at a vet clinic for four years and now I work as a Kennel Tech. I have gained so much confidence in my ability to handle and work with animals. Pet care fits into my routine because it’s what I do for work, i work with dogs and then I come home and get to spoil my own dog and cats. I have a passion for caring for animals because they can’t do it for themselves. Your pets depend on you and that is my motivation to be better for them everyday. I care for other people’s animals with the same genuine love as I do my own. Pets are apart of the family and deserve to see love and respect always.
