About: I was raised caring for all types of animals, but I have a particular love for dogs and cats! Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets for over 10 years of my life. My experience includes feeding, administering medications, walking, playtime, and overnight care. As an adult, I've cared for my own dogs for the past 5+ years and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone dependable who will love and care them as much as you do! My schedule is very flexible this summer, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I'm available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks during both weekdays and weekends. I am happy to adapt to each pet's usual routine and needs! My husband and I have a large fence yard and a home with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable. We also have a friendly male collie/retriever mix who enjoys playing, but he can be easily separated if your dog prefers their own space. I'm comfortable using crates or separate rooms as needed, and I'm happy to arrange a meet-and-greet with my dog to help ensure everyone feels safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their normal environment and routines consistent to reduce stress. I'm respectful of your home and able to follow detailed instructions. I'm also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel connected while away. Whether in my home or yours, my goal is to provide a clean and loving environment that feels as close to home as possible for every pet in my care.

“So grateful for Madison & Josh being willing to take care of our 2 dogs last minute. We were out of town and left in a bind. Madison & Josh were so patient with me and understanding when I was trying to coordinate plans from several states away. Both dogs were happy to meet new friends and had great walks that tired them out for the evening. Will definitely be reaching out again!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I would go to my neighbor's house and take care of their dogs and cats when they were out of town. I would take care of my auntie's dog as well, and he would stay with me at my house while she was out of town. I'm currently a full-time college student and most of my classes are online. So I only go on campus 2 days a week. I have a huge backyard for them to play in. My main living space has wood floors. I usually play with them or stick beside them the whole time.

About: Hi, I’m Kayla! 🐾 Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog, Brownie, when I was 6 years old, and he was truly my best friend. After caring for him from puppyhood through his senior years, I learned just how much our pets become part of our families. Although we sadly lost him a few years ago, my love for animals has only continued to grow. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from young puppies to seniors, and I’m comfortable with pets who need a little extra care and patience. I have helped train puppies, worked with multiple litters of puppies, cared for senior dogs, and have experience with dogs with diabetes and arthritis. I have also received training through the SPCA working with both cats and dogs. Pet care has been something my family has been involved in for years. My mom and sister were pet sitters, and I spent a lot of time helping them care for their clients' pets. I also have 2+ years of experience working with horses, so I’m comfortable around animals of all sizes! 🏡 Your pets get my full attention Pet sitting is currently my primary work, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate a lot of time to the animals in my care. When I’m staying with your pets, they aren't simply being “checked on”—I want them to feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you're away. Every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether your pup loves: 🐾 Long walks or short strolls 🎾 Playing fetch and getting some energy out 🛋️ Curling up on the couch for a lazy afternoon 💕 Lots of cuddles and attention 🥣 Keeping a specific feeding schedule 💊 Extra care or medication 🌳 Spending time outside …I’m happy to accommodate them. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing that your pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving the same love and attention I would want someone to give my own. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, send regular updates and photos, and make sure you come home to happy, well-loved pets. ❤️ Your pets aren't just a booking to me—they're family, and I’ll treat them that way. This is currently my only job, so I will have plenty of time to take extreme care of your best furry friend who you love so much! I will use respect when it comes to being in and around someone else’s property, I will make sure everything is locked up, and put away when I leave, I will walk the pet if need be however long or short, I can play with them, give them cuddles, and love on them!

About: Hi! I’m Taylor, and caring for animals has been a passion of mine since I was a little girl. After recently moving back home to Olive Branch, Mississippi, I’m excited to start pet sitting again and connect with fellow pet lovers in the community. I work in restaurant management and run a small finance business, but animals have always held a special place in my heart. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for animals of all kinds, ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. Every pet is unique, and I’m committed to following their routine and providing the individualized care they deserve. Whether you have dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, fish, or other beloved companions, I’ll treat them like family. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pets are in caring hands. My goal is simple: to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry, feathered, or scaly family members! 🐾❤️ I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable from the very first meet-and-greet. I treat every animal with the same patience, love, and respect I’d want for my own.❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work in restaurant management and also run a small finance business, but I intentionally keep my schedule organized so I can provide dependable care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, love, and timely care while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved in whatever environment they’re most familiar with. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special care needs. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care, so I’ll send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: My husband and I are furtunate enough to work from home. Along with our adult daughter, we take pleasure in caring for, and showering love on, our furry guests. I began my career as a professional dog trainer/behaviorist in Southern California in 1996. It wasn't until after our move to Las Vegas in 2002 that my business was truly established. However, in 2011, we unexpectedly uprooted and moved to Houston, TX, and found myself heading into a new venture in the dog industry. During our 9 years in Texas, I become involved with other canine endeavors, including competing in AKC Conformation with our Akitas and Whippets and occasionally assisting in breed-specific and all-breed rescue organizations. After moving to northwest Mississippi in August 2020, we decided to continue offering our boarding and pet care services because of how much we enjoy it. In addition to playing with dogs, I have a part-time position in my home, which enables me to give each of our canine guests plenty of attention. My husband works full-time from home and is always available as a backup in case I have to run off to an appointment. Also living in our home are our two young adult daughters, Beth & Rachel. We are all dog lovers who also happen to be "dog-wise". Our own dogs are friendly and well-behaved and enjoy having fur-friends come to visit. Admittedly, we do have a good amount of dogs, but we have established a great routine and, if our fur-guest isn't too sure at first, we have plenty of options in keeping dogs separated until our fur-guest feels comfortable and happy. We have a considerable amount of experience at pairing dogs in appropriate play groups according to size, temperament and activity level. Our home is situated on nearly 2 acres with about a half-acre securely fenced for dogs to play in. Our active guests will have tons of fun outside playing with each other and chasing squirrels, in addition to spending a large portion of the day and all night relaxing inside our home. Our more sedentary guests have plenty of laps, couch space, and dog beds to laze around on. While crates are a useful tool for keeping dogs comfortable and safe, especially during the brief periods nobody is home, rest assured your sweet babies will not be locked in a crate for long periods. We also have extensive experience with many types of animals, such as chickens, goats, donkeys and horses and offer drop-in visits, where we come to your home to feed, exercise, and interact with your pet(s) and/or farm animals. Our fee is "per visit" and is the same regardless of the number of pets/animals. Additionally, I offer house sitting on a case-by-case basis where I spend nights at your home. Again, our "per night" fee is the same regardless of the number and type of pets/animals in your home or on your property. However, a premium may be assessed if the care of livestock is fairly substantial. Currently, we are only serving the areas of Holly Springs, Byhalia, and Red Banks for drop-in visits but are available to drive longer distances for house sitting. Feel free to request more information. We have a securely fenced yard and friendly dogs to keep your dog company during the periods I am working in my home office. Our weekends are typically not very busy, but there are 4 of us available to love and care for your pet. We begin each day with a quick stretch of the legs and a potty break followed by breakfast then playtime outside. Dogs are divided into small groups according to size and play style then rotated between fun time in our fenced yard and relaxing in our home on dog beds and couches. Evenings are often spent playing family games or watching a movie. For bedtime, dogs can sleep in our rooms, on the couch, or in their crate, depending on where they're most comfortable.

About: I have five years of pet-sitting experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I’m also a dog owner myself. My dog, Boudro, has taught me how important patience, routine, and attention are for happy pets. I’ve provided overnight house sitting, feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection, and I’m comfortable giving medications as directed. I focus on keeping pets relaxed, safe, and loved while maintaining their normal schedule so they feel at ease while you’re away. Caring for animals is already part of my daily life since I have my own dog, so feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and attention are naturally built into my routine. I’m currently in college, and I carefully plan my pet-sitting commitments around my class schedule to make sure pets stay on their normal routine and are never rushed or overlooked. I schedule visits intentionally so each pet gets quality time, exercise, and comfort, not just a quick check-in. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight care, and I always make sure pets feel secure, cared for, and relaxed while their owners are away. In my home, I provide a calm, safe environment where my pet can relax and feel comfortable. I follow a normal feeding schedule, provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention so he doesn’t feel stressed or lonesome. I keep a clean space and make sure my pet has a quiet area to rest. I always treat each pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I stick closely to the pet’s established routine so everything feels familiar. For pet sitting and walks, I handle feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and any medications as directed. During overnight house sitting, I make sure pets are not left alone for long periods, keep them company in the evenings, maintain a tidy and secure environment, and send regular updates so owners have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life—cats were actually my first love, and I’m still a total sucker for them! While I don’t currently have a cat of my own, I’m very happy to provide drop-in care for your feline family members. At home, I have two friendly Golden Retrievers, Aspen and Indy, who enjoy having canine companions around. I work from home, so dogs staying with me get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime and companionship throughout the day. We also have a large fenced yard where they have plenty of room to safely get outside and play. I know every pet has their own personality and routine—from the social butterfly who wants constant attention to the shy one who needs time and patience to feel comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and care for them like I would want someone to care for mine. And because I know how hard it can be to leave them, I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home, so I’m home throughout the day with my own two dogs, Aspen and Indy. This gives me plenty of flexibility for meals, potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles and lots of companionship. Pets staying with me won’t routinely be left alone for long stretches, and we also have a large fenced yard for plenty of outdoor time. I’m also available for drop-in visits depending on the location and requested time. I finish my workday in the early afternoon, so my afternoons and evenings are generally very flexible for drop-ins. Morning or daytime visits may also be possible depending on timing and distance—just send me a request and we can see if it works! In my home, I try to keep your pet’s routine as close to what they’re used to as possible. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, meals, playtime, attention and plenty of cuddles. We have a large fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and my two Golden Retrievers, Aspen and Indy, are friendly and enjoy having canine companions. I can accommodate different comfort levels and personalities. If your dog enjoys being social, they can join Aspen and Indy for playtime and relaxation. If your pet is more comfortable having their own space or needs to be kept separate from other animals, I can accommodate that as well. My goal is for each pet to feel safe and comfortable rather than expecting every animal to interact. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements and any special routines or needs. I know being away from home can be stressful, so I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable and treated like part of the family while they’re here. For drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine in their own home, including feeding and fresh water, potty breaks or litter box care, medications if needed, playtime and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to simply provide companionship for pets who are shy or prefer interaction on their own terms. I’ll provide photos and updates during stays or visits so you can relax knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 8. I have a dog who turns 8 this year, which I take full responsibility, that includes: vet visits, grooming, and activities. I also have trained her to do cool tricks! I've taken care of my sister's 2 dogs as well while she was on vacation. I have a lot of experience with small animals too! I have the whole summer off from college, and I am recovering from my illness, so I believe that taking care of a pet will fit into my schedule without interrupting doctor visits. It also is not as straining as a retail job. I will make sure to check for areas that could cause harm to an animal and provide a solution to the problem to ensure safety. I am also schedule sensitive, so I make sure that animals get fed on time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Byhalia on Rover is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 per walk. walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 660 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Byhalia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Byhalia. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Byhalia after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Byhalia. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
