My puppies are so happy and chill after their walks with Alexis. Alexis sends me the route, distance, and a pic. Pups like her so much they wait for her on her days off! So glad I did this for us.

Savanah has been great with our three pups! She is confident, friendly, and reliable. She easily takes care of our elderly dog’s needs, as well as our higher energy/younger ones. Her communication is also excellent. I felt comfortable leaving my babies with her right away. We’re so glad we found her.

Alex is highly recommended by us and our dog, Duncan. Before finding Alex, we have never trusted the care of our dog or house to anyone. We can’t tell you how thankful we are for finding Alex!

About: Hi there! My name’s Rachael, and I’d love the chance to care for your pets like they’re my own. I’m a proud dog mom to two sweet girls, Halo and Ash, who keep my days full of love, laughter, and adventure. And I have recently become a proud cat mom as well, with my two goofy boys Barnabus, and Bandit who are me two angels. I grew up with German Shepherds, so I’ve been around dogs of all sizes my whole life and feel right at home with everything from the tiniest lap pups to extra-large gentle giants. I also have hands-on training experience and am certified through Brother Wolf, where I volunteered and completed all of their training classes. Because of that, I’m comfortable not only caring for pets but also understanding their needs, personalities, and quirks. Beyond dogs, I truly enjoy spending time with all kinds of animals—cats, geckos, lizards, snakes, turtles, and even fish. I believe every animal has a pure little soul, and it’s such a joy to connect with them. In my free time, you can usually find me curled up in bed with my pups for snuggles or out exploring on walks and adventures with them. Caring for animals is something that brings me so much happiness, and I’d be honored to bring that same care, patience, and love to yours. I am working full time managing a local moving company, but a lot of my job is conducted remotely so I have open availability to spend quality time with your furry (or scaly) family member(s). I spend my free time with my 4 fur babies Ash, Halo,Bandit and Barnabus. I would love to either show your babies the same love and care in the comfort of your own home, or mine! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, secure environment where pets feel loved and cared for. For dogs, I have a fully fenced-in side and back yard, perfect for safe outdoor play and exercise. For cats, I create a quiet, cozy space where they can feel at ease, get plenty of affection, and enjoy their usual routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and personality, making sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free.

About: I have hands-on experience working with dogs in multiple professional settings, including 2 year of shelter volunteering, one year in a dog daycare environment, and 10 months as a foster caregiver. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments, including infant puppies, senior dogs needing mobility support, reactive dogs, and dogs recovering from illness or medical conditions. My approach is calm, patient, and enrichment-focused, with safety and positive handling as top priorities. If you have a dog you want round the clock specialty care for book with me, as I’m hand on and do rover full time! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule so your dog always receives dedicated, attentive care. I currently do rover full time , which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and enrichment visits. With me dogs are never left alone for long periods and can get all-day care and companionship. This is my full time job meaning this is a priority for me—not a side hobby. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine are always at the center of my schedule. Your dog will have so much fun with me! As I have access to a private dog park where they can get in tones of agility or just somewhere to have zoomies! We also have access to a nice scenic hiking trail. For some of are couch potato friends, we have a nice spacious apartment with pet approved couch to lay on and just enjoy a relaxing, quite place! As for my furry friends that ill be sitting for at there place, I like to give them plenty of play time in there space and yards. Along with nice long walks through the neighborhood! Attention to detail, and love is what I thrive for when taking care of your pet!

About: I have owned several senior pets, pets with medical needs, and have 4 years of experience fostering multiple types of dogs until they were adopted. I took a break from Rover in 2021 when i started fostering dogs. I fostered 11 dogs between 2021 and 2024. I have several years of pet sitting experience. I have a 8 year old Tuxedo cat and a 7 year old orange tabby cat. I work full time at home with mostly flexible hours, so unless I have meetings, I am able to do most times during the week. Sunday mornings is my in office day, so from 8:30am-12 on Sundays I am unavailable Whenever I am outdoors with a dog, I will have an eye on them even if there is a fence or on a leash. I am accustomed to escape artist pets, so I am good at getting in and out of homes without letting an animal out.

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!
