“Darla took amazing care of my 2 dogs while I was out of town, including my senior dog that recently started having some health issues & needed daily medication given. I felt no stress being gone & she had great communication with me & left my house spotless. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Laura was great! She was very flexible with my complicated schedule. Came over beforehand to meet my dog and gave me updates throughout. Would use her again and recommend!”

“Once again Maegan did a great job taking care of our animals. Our rescue pup has really warmed up to her so much and our elderly kitty was in good hands! Thank you for such peace of mind!”

“Amanda was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I will forever use her to watch my babies! She was wonderful and my puppies absolutely adored her! She sent me so many wonderful pictures and took such great care of them and not once did I have to worry about their well being! Thank you so so much and I can’t wait to praise your sitting to other families who are in need of someone caring to watch their babies!”

“First Dalton is an amazing person! We are blessed to have found him! He cares! He truly cares! Your fur babies become his! I cannot express more thanks and gratitude to Dalton!”

“Deanna came to our rescue after our other sitter had a death in the family and could not watch our dogs. She is awesome she did great watching our dogs. She took them out and spent several hours with them a day. We originally booked for overnight but because she lives so close we let her do drop in visits and it worked out just as well. I highly recommend Deanna to watch your pets because she'll treat them like family and did an amazing job! We will be using her again!”

“Michael took great care of our dogs, walking and and feeding them. They had a better time with him than with us! Great with instructions, would fully recommend Michael for any dog sitting situations.”

“We took a trip out of town for five nights and needed someone to stay with our two kitties—one being our senior girl with kidney disease who needed a lot of tending to. London could not have done a better job—she made sure everyone was fed, meds were given, the box was scooped, and had their social needs met. 🥰 It really seemed like she took care of our kitties like they were her own. 🥹 Would absolutely book her again.”


About: Hi! I’m Linda, and I’ve always loved animals and the comfort, personality, and joy they bring into our lives. I’m dependable, organized, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets — whether that’s going for walks, giving them attention during drop-in visits, or simply helping them feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away or busy. I work full-time at the University of Southern Mississippi, so I understand how important reliability, communication, and trust are. I’m looking to offer flexible evening and weekend pet care and would love to help give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and extra attention to help both you and your pet feel comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full-time at the University of Southern Mississippi and have availability during evenings, weekends, and some daytime hours on work-from-home days. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so walks and drop-in visits are a great fit for my schedule and lifestyle I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get attention, exercise, fresh water, potty breaks, and plenty of care and patience. I also understand how important communication is for pet owners, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits.
About: I’ve been a vet tech, a zookeeper, and have been caring for animals almost all my life. I went to school for wildlife ecology, and I am trained in home introduction techniques. I’m happy to care for any special needs or particular requests you have to make your pet’s as comfortable as possible during their stay! Looking forward to caring for your furry family members soon. I work full-time, but when I am home I make sure to give your fur babies my undivided attention. My wife is home all day, so she can definitely help out with your fur babies! I make sure every dog is comfortable with me, and I let them walk around my home to get a sense of the area. If the clients home I make sure the dog/dogs are comfortable with me as well, and once they are I proceed with taking care of them.
“Anna really helped us out this past weekend keeping our puppy for us in a hotel room while we had a few social events. We really appreciated her being so responsible and keeping our pup entertained. I would use her again. She was on time, friendly and very helpful. I didn’t have to worry at all while we were away!”

“Jenna was an exceptional House Sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure that our fur babies were well taken care of. She was punctual and attentive. The house was nice and clean when I returned. She’s very communicative and sent photos often. We will definitely be using her again.”

About: I have plenty of experience when it comes to caring for dogs, especially big dogs (as a great dane owner). Feeding, walking, cleaning up after them, and even training them. Taking care of multiple pets at a time is no problem! I am currently a college student who only has classes in the mornings so my afternoons and nights are free. If needed, I am available to wake up early before my classes to care for your pets. I will ensure that all animals are accounted for and taken care of. I will make sure all doors are shut and everything is in order. It’s very important to keep anything dangerous out of site and stay alert while caring for animals.

About: •dog sat for a neighbor every summer growing up for years. (2018-2021) •dog sat and house sat for a family friend for a month. (2026) •owned 2 cats and 1 dog my whole childhood and cared for them I'm currently a student in college, so I'm available all summer and then part time during the school year. During the school year, my classes are pretty spaced out, so I could easily do dog walking in between classes. In my client's home, I will take care of their pet/home according to the instructions the owner leaves! If they have a backyard with a fence, I would watch their dog attentively. And if I were walking a dog, I would try to avoid getting near potential hazards.

About: I grew up with cats, dogs, turtles, lizards… basically anything I could get away with bringing home. I have been a pet parent to my cats, Maybell for the last 10 years, and Gia for the last 6. They are precious girls that I love dearly, and I have extensive experience with varieties of dog breeds from working at a boarding and grooming facility! I work full time as a physical therapist during the week days and miss getting to have dogs around to love on! As an outdoors fanatic and someone who seeks movement throughout my days, being an add on walker/per sitter in my free time is a dream job of a way to get to be around the pets I love (but can’t currently have due to a skiddish older cat!) and my passion for taking care of others! I am comfortable with medication dispensing due to previously caring for highly medically complex family pets, as well as extensive time working at a boarding and grooming facility which taught me a myriad of tips for caring for easy and more finicky pets all alike!! I can provide and manage crate care, walking, running, and hiking experiences for your pet during a stay but also as happy to couch potato with your pup!
About: Always grew up with them and care for them the best I can for your pet. I'll make sure all instructions are met to your standards I live at home and am free everyday in the week until school let's out. Then ill do my best but can't promise anything at that point. I'll always be gentle and kind and follow any instructions to care for your pet as if it was mine. Anything they need ill do my best to give

“Laura stayed in house for two weeks pet sitting for us. She took our dogs out for walks, ran errands with them and was in tune to each pet’s quirks. She even watered my plants, check mail, and brought in packages! Our home was turned back over in the same condition as we left it - I highly recommend trusting your babies with her!”

Maegan is amazing! We felt so good leaving our pups with her for our 5-day trip. She stayed overnight and was on top of all of their routines, picked up on their quirks right away, and treated them like they were her own dogs. She was so attentive to them! Our dogs absolutely adored her! She was a fantastic houseguest and left the house like she found it. 1000% recommend Maegan to care for your pets! We look forward to booking her again!

Darla took amazing care of my 2 dogs while I was out of town, including my senior dog that recently started having some health issues & needed daily medication given. I felt no stress being gone & she had great communication with me & left my house spotless. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

I have booked her several times and she is the only one that I truly trust to take care of my fur babies. She saved the day for me being able to book last minute to go to a wedding when one of my fur babies became sick. She stayed overnight and kept me updated as I have a blind dog as well.

Jenna was an exceptional House Sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure that our fur babies were well taken care of. She was punctual and attentive. The house was nice and clean when I returned. She’s very communicative and sent photos often. We will definitely be using her again.
