I am so glad to have chosen Savanah to walk my precious girl, Scout, while I’m at work. She gives thorough and thoughtful updates and gets amazing photos of my happy girl. Savanah is so sweet and you can tell she really cares. She is reliable and a great communicator. She did everything I requested and was sure to confirm she did so at each visit. Scout was extra playful and happy everyday after Savanah’s visits!

About: I've taken care of animals since I was young, but especially since I got my own cat around seven years ago. I'm deeply passionate about animals and animal care, and absolutely adore being around pets of all shapes and sizes!! Additionally, I've worked as a veterinary assistant, so I have much experience with all different breeds and personalities! I'm currently between jobs otherwise, so I'm happy to be wherever, whenever! I'm happy to fit absolutely anyone into my schedule, whether on short notice or in advance. I follow instructions very dutifully and will attend to your pet exactly how you instruct me to. I love to take pictures and videos, so you'll get plenty of content of your fur baby while I'm caring for them!! I prioritize their safety above all else.

About: I have hands-on experience working with dogs in multiple professional settings, including 2 year of shelter volunteering, 1 year as a behavioral kennel technician, 1 year of pet sitting 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: Hi! I’m a 19-year-old college student and lifelong animal lover. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly trust me to pet sit, walk, feed, and play with their pets. I have a 10-month-old mini long-haired dachshund named Tucker, so I understand puppy energy, training consistency, and daily routines. I’m very active and outgoing, and I love being outdoors, going on walks, and staying active, which makes me a great fit for energetic dogs! I’m responsible, dependable, and will treat your pet like my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, cuddles, exercise, or calm companionship, I’m happy to provide a safe and loving environment. I’m currently a college student with one in-person class on Thursdays and the rest of my coursework online, which gives me a flexible schedule. I also work part-time at Abercrombie & Fitch, but I plan my shifts in advance and have plenty of time throughout the week for pet care. I’m available for drop-ins, walks. Because I’m active and enjoy being outdoors, I love fitting walks and playtime into my daily routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep routines consistent, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and medication (if needed). I make sure pets are supervised, secure on walks, and comfortable in a clean, calm environment. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free experience.

About: “I have taken care of dogs my whole life and currently have a sweet pug puppy named Willow. I love taking dogs on walks, giving them playtime, potty breaks, snuggles, and lots of attention. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, your pup will feel safe, happy and deeply loved in my care I work from home as an artist and am almost always here, so your dog will get consistent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles throughout the day. They won’t be left alone except for quick errands. 🐾 My home is very dog-friendly with a fully fenced in yard, tons of toys, comfy dog beds, and lots of space to relax. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in my bed (just like my own pups). I treat every dog like part of the family — with lots of love, patience, and positive reinforcement. 🐾

About: I am a teacher in Asheville looking to hang out with some lovely animals in my free time. Growing up I have always had animals but primarily dogs so I have a strong background in dog behaviors and needs. My fiancé is also available to support during the week days that wouldn’t be optimal for me to leave during my teaching days. This gives a lot more availability! She has always grown up with cats and dogs and would love to help support to give them the best care. I look forward to care for your animal in anyway I can. Please let me know of any questions as I hope to be flexible with any needs. During the week I am gone roughly 8am-4pm but will be home during the weekend times. During the summer months I am available throughout the day times. My fiancé is a nurse and works 3 days out of the week. The schedule is flexible but sporadic. I love to get out for long walks and get as much movement as possible. If that’s for your animal I’d love to get them out! If not I am cautious about the animals typical areas and what works best for them.

Elizabeth was wonderful and took great care of our girls. It was a hot day and day and she made sure our girls stayed shaded and hydrated on their walk with her.

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!
