“Jennie was wonderful with my elderly, blind dog Rand. They had a great walk, she's very patient with him as he moves really slow. She sent pictures and stayed at least the full half hour. I will certainly re book!”


“Morgan is super sweet! She is very responsive and flexible. I feel like she really cares about my dog and treats her like her own. I’m so glad that I have Morgan coming to walk my dog a few times a week!”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs. I currently have a sweet, playful 70 lb bernedoodle who’s 2.5 years old and full of energy. My experience includes daily walks/runs, grooming, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also offer dog RUNNING services for those high energy doggos that just need an extra zoom around during the day! Just book as a walk and add in a message that you’re interested in running. :) Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I work 4 days a week at a local hospital, typically 7-8 hour shifts, so I’m home in the mornings and evenings to give pets plenty of attention. My own dog enjoys daily trips to the nearby dog park, plus quick potty breaks in the large grassy area behind my apartment. I make sure visiting pets get the same level of exercise, playtime, and affection to keep them happy and comfortable. In my home, pets have a safe, comfortable space, access to a fenced balcony, and constant access to fresh water. I follow their feeding schedules closely and provide regular walks or park visits for exercise. My friendly 2.5-year-old bernedoodle loves having playmates, and I always supervise interactions to ensure all pets feel secure. I tailor care to each animal’s needs, whether that means active play, cuddle time, or a quiet resting spot. If your pet is crate-trained and you’d like them to have a crate during their stay, please bring your own so they feel comfortable and at home.

“I am so glad Savannah was available to drop in on my girl again this week! Savannah is very reliable, pays attention to all requests, and gives great updates and photos! My pup can’t wait to see her again!”


“Elizabeth was great with my dog! I appreciated her taking the time to meet with me and Pita before I went out of town and her daily updates while I was gone. I would definitely use her services again in the future.”


About: Currently I do not have any pets of my own, the photos on my profile are of my late American Bulldog, and the Cavalier Spaniel is my mother’s that does not live with me. I grew up always having a dog in my family, and about age 10 I began watching our neighbors dogs as well. I believe this is what gave me a good foundation of compassion, affection, and responsibility. As I got older I consistently had dogs of my own. I believe pets are not just pets, but that they are part of the family. I advocate for animals and I show great care and compassion. In the past 5 years I have had to put down two of my own senior dogs, so I learned a great deal of caring for elderly dogs. My dogs were given the very best lives and the very best of everything. This is how your pet will be treated in my care. I have a very flexible schedule. I currently work from home and make my own hours making my services very convenient. I can do walks, drop-ins, and boarding in my home. Your belongings and home will be treated with care and respect. I only work in environments that are safe and secure for myself and the animals. I’m also very comfortable and experienced with senior dogs and dogs that require medication. For dogs boarding at my home- I have a very calm and quiet home. I do require a meet & greet at my house prior to boarding.

About: I have had dogs, cats, and rabbits that I've cared for. I currently have two cats. I am attentive, energetic, and cleanly when pet sitting. I would love to meet your pet! I am self employed jewelry maker and work from home. My schedule is pretty open to accommodate any days or times that you may need. I have a large backyard currently unfenced. I have a calm home environment and I am here at home by myself for the majority of the day. I have two well behaved young cats that would love to keep your pets company!

About: Hi! Your critter baby is in great hands with me. I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life, as I grew up learning how to care for cats, dogs, leopard geckos, turtles, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, fish, hermit crabs, plants and whatever the future holds! I’ve taken over 10 different house sitting and pet sitting jobs on varying occasions with my neighbor’s prestigious show-dogs, given walks to dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I’m ready to give my faithful attention your beloved animal friends! (Unfortunately I cant accept boarding requests for Pit Bulls due to corrupt land management but I’m happy to walk or house sit for your Pitty!) My childhood dog was Lulu, the 3 legged terrier. I also once cared for a labradoodle who struggled with a digestive condition, so I work super well with doggies who have special needs. Doggos are special in general! I own a leopard gecko. I also have taken several jobs for Wag! and have an advanced profile with a 4.97 star rating! Happy to share screenshots of reviews. Some say I’m a pet whisperer, but really I just have a lot of experience with them, so I really know the signals and gestures they use to communicate. Your pup is guaranteed a good time with me! If you would like to meet and greet let me know. I have a very open schedule! Feel free to follow me on instagram! I make art and also post story highlights of all the pets I love! I am also open to portrait commissions! ;) BONUS: Sometimes i doodle pictures of dogs and leave the sketches for the owners :) Please be sure to have your dog trained at a walkable level. I understand dogs very well but I am not a trainer by any means. I am an artist currently working from home, with an occasional Doordash delivery hustle and other dog walks. I am usually home most of the day and would not leave your pet unattended for longer than 4 hours! I treat pets with respect and make sure they feel welcome, with treats and scritches. I feed them and am happy to bathe them once a sitting if requested, outdoors. Whatever you need me to do, I will remember. Your pup is in good hands.

About: I’ve been a full time dog mom since 2007 and have cared for a variety of different breeds and temperament's. One thing that sets me apart is that I’m extremely active and love to get the pups outside on walks, runs, hikes, etc. Also, I’m always home so the dogs would never be left by themselves which is hard to find in sitters post-Covid. Love to take photos so you’ll receive many updates throughout the day if wanted. Dogs are meticulously cared for and treated like my own. Happy to accommodate even the quirkiest of requests. I’m a stay at home toddler mom with a smaller golden lab. We try to go on as many walks as we can outside, and plenty of play in the yard or inside the home round the clock as well. I have a nice open floor plan home that is 100% dog friendly. My 3 year old human and 5 year old golden lab are home full time to play and give attention in addition to me. I DO NOT have a fenced in yard but may in the future.

About: I grew up with mostly cats and one lovely beagle :) I’ve been taking care of animals all my life! I am caring and responsible, and love getting to know pets of all sorts and ages. I specialize in long nature walks and chin scratching. I am between jobs and am very flexible with my schedule at the moment! Happy to make mid day visits. Availability is up to date. Reliable transportation. I am attentive to detail and want your pet to be comfortable during my visits! Appreciative of clear instructions and communication of particular safety needs!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child. Anything from rabbits and Guinea pigs to horses. I have three giant dogs currently but I love to take care of all creatures. My pets are my 4 legged children that I’d do absolutely anything for. The same goes for your 4 legged family members! My schedule is relatively open so feel free to send me a message and I will respond as quickly as I possibly can. I’m also in grad school full time and at home with my dogs. I keep them on a routine. At home, my fur children have a routine that they follow. I’m very specific with how things are taken care. Because of that, I like to establish a clear understanding of directions for what fits best for your family member.

About: I’ve taken care of pets and other peoples animals for as long as I can remember. A lot of family members and friends have trusted me with their baby’s to bathe, walk and take care of their pets. I’m currently working part time, which allows me to have Sunday, Monday’s, and Tuesdays off during the week. I have a very flexible schedule and willing to accommodate the very best I can! I have a fenced in yard with three friendly dogs and two cats. I live on a farm with sheep and chickens. I can also crate any of your pets if need be.

About: I have taken care of all different types of pets since I was a child. I have raised dogs, cats, chickens, opossums, turtles, etc. This included walking, feeding, bathing, changing out liter, cleaning a chicken coop, baby opossum care. I have experience with both puppies/kittens and older dogs/cats. I recently lived with my college roommate for three years she had a poodle named Groot that I helped her raise from a puppy. He had a very sensitive stomach so he was on a special diet and prebiotics. She had a very busy schedule and often times had to go out of town. So, I helped take care of him. This included feeding, potty breaks, and hikes for exercise. I am a very proud dog aunt! I recently moved to Ocean Springs and I am excited to be able to create bonds with the animals and owners in my new community. I am currently working part-time remotely so I have a very open schedule. Especially during the weekday and most of the time on weekends. I want to use this as an opportunity to create a weekly schedule that gets me out of my house and off the computer. Also the joy of getting to hang out with pets. A meet and greet is a must for me. I always want a new meeting between you, me and your pet to be one that sets us up for success. Every pet is different. I want to use the meeting as a way to learn their uniqueness and get them comfortable with me.


About: Hello! Lots of pet care experience, mainly cats and some dogs, along with smaller animals including gerbils, hamsters etc. Never was allowed to have a cat or dog growing up due to allergies in the family but always took the opportunity to care for pets whenever I could to get an excuse to hang out with doggies or kitties. I love spending time with animals and I appreciate all their unique attributes and what they mean to their humans, and I always make sure to do the job right and that the animals are cared for according to all instructions and specific preferences/needs. With me, your furry (or not) friends are in good hands! I'm available on a flexible basis and it's best to touch base to see about availability in days or weeks to come. Thanks for reading!

I let my pups on the furniture but will honor whatever etiquette you have for your beloved pet(s). My dogs can be around or at my partners house if your fur baby isn’t comfortable around others. Lots of treats to share if allowed! Endless love and care!!!
