“We met Cameron first through a meet & greet and immediately liked him. He seemed responsible, communicative, clean cut, honest, and polite. We’ve used him for a drop-in visit and for a 3 day house and pet sitting job. He sent pictures and text updates each time, and we returned to happy animals and a spotless house. We’ll definitely look forward to using his services again!”


About: Although my family has never owned a dog, I have always loved taking care of my aunts, neighbors, and family friends dogs. I always make sure to pay attention to detail when watching a dog and meet each dogs needs whether that be a walk, playing with a toy, belly rubs, or even just relaxing. As a part-time graduate student at USM, I will have time during the day for a dog walk, or to check-in on your pup! I will be available on most weekends for house and dog sitting. I am available to come to your dog and stay with him/her so they do not have to move out of their comfortable environment and stay at a new space with new people.

“Kirsten house sat and did so well with our pets! She was reliable and there when she said she would be there. She also seemed to be knowledgeable with the care given to the animals! Would use her again!”


“Arameus did a wonderful job staying with our fur babies while we were out of town. He was punctual, responded quickly to text with updates on how things were going and sent pictures of the animals to me. Would definitely recommend him if you need a sitter for your fur babies!! We will be using him again❤️”


About: I’m a dog momma myself to two beautiful sweet boys that I love dearly. I’ve grown up taking care of dogs of many sizes and breeds. I’ve kept my neighbors, family and friends pups, and their pups and I enjoyed every moment! Your pups are a top priority and will be taken care of in the best way and treated like one of my own. I’m home every day of the week most of the time, unless I have a doctors appointment. I’m available most weekends unless my husband and I have plans which isn’t too often. My husband and I have a big newly fenced in backyard. We also have 2 pet friendly dogs of our own. We have the ability to crate your pups in a separate room of our own pups if needed. Their food and water will be separated from our dogs food and water. If your pups need a walk and are leash trained, I can walk them around in our neighborhood.

About: Well I have worked at a doggy daycare for months. I love all dogs small or big and it’s been so fun to work with them. And I’ve taught some how to seat. At the moment I do have a night time job usually 2-9pm selling Life Insurance. And I can dog sit but there might be a few nights I’ll be a little later getting to houses some nights. However I have all the time from 7-1 to watch them throughout the day. I normally go to other peoples houses and I make sure they are outside and feed, even if they need to be walked I will do it and obviously I respect the owners wishes and choices.

About: I have raised many kids and many dogs over the years and I’d love to care for your sweet dogs- much love will be provided For the summer, I am free pretty much all the time and I can sit in any of the surrounding towns around central Mississippi :) I have many years experience with dogs starting as a small girl. I’m a nurturer by nature and will be the most attentive person for your pet.

About: Hi there. I’m Zack. I have always had a passion for animals, along with our family having our own. I have been dog walking/house-sitting for 5 years now, and let me just say, it’s one of the best jobs in the world for someone who has a deep attachment to animals. They are part of our lives from the day they come home. You can always rely on me giving them all the care and love they need, and anything you request or need additionally for their wellbeing, don’t ever hesitate to ask twice. I started off caring for animals after a dear friend recommended me to a very sweet couple in need of this. They worked full time jobs and needed a dog walker 5 days a week. I started doing that and from there, built up my clientele. It’s just amazing to be able to work with these dear furry friends. I’m always there for them and you. Thank you.

“This was our first time with a pet sitter and chloe was fabulous with our dog- she sent updates throughout, left our home cleaner than she found it, and was so flexible when our plans changed last minute. We would have no hesitations to book with her again.”
