“We just love Summer! She sends so many pictures and is so kind. Pretty sure our dog might like her more than us. Cannot say enough good things!!”


“Such a great experience using Rover. I was updated the whole time.”


About: I’ve owned 6 dogs and 6 cats throughout my life so I’m experienced and very comfortable around pets. I share a special bond with my friends pets as well. I work part time and my shifts range from 6-8 hours sometimes, however my girlfriend usually helps with taking care of my dog while I’m at work and is happy to help with any of the pets we’re sitting! I’m able to strictly follow any rules that you provide. I will ensure that your pets get as much love and attention as they desire. When it comes to your pets using the bathroom, if it involves walking on a leash, I’m experienced in walking all kinds of dogs even big and hyper ones. I’ve never had an incident like dropping the leash or losing a an animal. If going to the bathroom means just letting them in the backyard then I will make sure to watch them the entire time they are out there. I will also be happy to play with your pets as much as possible to make sure they get some activity in their day.

About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved dogs. Growing up, my family and I always had at least two dogs in our home, and even my extended family have always had pets/dogs of all kind. Aside from caring for my own dogs, I am also a trusted dog sitter for friends and family. Currently, my husband and I have a 9 year old dog. I am a stay at home mom, so your dog will get an endless amount of love and care! I occasionally leave the house to run errands, but am not gone for too long since I also have a baby who needs her naps. I have a fenced in back yard with a covered patio so there is plenty of room for your dog to run around and even relax in the shade. For sleeping arrangements, I can accommodate a crate inside or outside, or if your dog isn’t crated, we can set up a dog bed in our guest room, our room, or garage - whatever is preferred.

About: Since I was raised on a farm, I’ve always been surrounded by numerous animals. I’ve loved every second of it. Animals are my everything. 🫶🏻 I’m doing online schooling currently so it fits in my schedule perfectly! 100% of my time can go to your dogs or cats instead. 😊 I live in an apartment so I will have to take them on walks around the neighborhood. I also have a dog of my own to accompany them and make them feel a little more comfortable with the new surroundings.

“Tieri was awesome! Our dog had a wonderful time with her pup, came home happy and tired. Tieri was super lovely and accommodating of our schedule. Thanks for making things so easy, and for looking after Pokey!”


About: I trained my old and current dog and now she is ESA certified. She’s exceptionally well behaved and listens to commands very well. I spoil her with treats and play time and I would risk my life for her like I would for yours. I take my dog out 4-5 times a day to play or use the bathroom. I feed her twice a day and give her plenty of love and attention. From belly rubs to wrestling. I would treat any animal I sit like mine. I keep an eye on them 24/7. I watch them outside so they don’t eat anything that will make them sick. I don’t let them chew on anything that could be dangerous.

About: I have taken care of animals my entire life, I grew up on a farm with plenty of dogs, cats, horses, goats, parrots and more. I am a stay at home mom who can provide round the clock care for your pets. Your pet will receive plenty of love and attention in our home. We have 2 dogs and 1 cat of our own. Our 6 year old male golden retriever and 6 year old male corgi (both neutered) are great with other dogs and love to play. Our cat can be secured during your pet’s stay if they are not good with/never been around a cat. I am comfortable with puppies and senior care. I am a nurse by trade so I also do not mind to give medications if needed. I am a stay at home mom so I am usually home most of the day, every day. I will be here to feed, love, and exercise your pet. I do have a 2 year old who loves animals so I can only take pets that are comfortable with small children. I am a stay at home mom, so I am home mostly all day to be able to provide the best care for your pet. We live on 5 acres of land but do not have a fenced in yard. Our pets do not go outside unsupervised but they are unleashed. If your pet needs leashed for potty breaks, no biggie! They will have plenty of room to run and we typically take daily walks.

About: My name is Malorie! I grew up on a farm in MS and currently live in Starkville. I've cared for dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats, and cows since I was a child. I have a 10 year old chocolate lab named Ellie May, and a 1 year old red fox lab named Jenni. They’re both hunting dogs I’ve trained myself. Taking care of animals isn’t just a “job” for me, it’s what I love. And I’d love to watch yours :) message me for more info! Pet care fits into my daily routine as a first priority because I love animals. I’m currently a college student, so I have pretty open free time! I care for people’s pets in my home (or their home) the same way I care for my own pet. I do this because I would want someone to do the same for my dog - treating her with the utmost care.

About: I love all animals and grew up around horses, dogs, and cats! i have 2+ years of experience dog/cat sitting for neighbors and loved ones. I also worked at a doggy daycare as a boarder and daycare attendant!! My life would not be the same without animals! I am currently not working so I have plenty of time to play w/ your pets! I am in Starkville full-time so my schedule is very flexible and easy to work with! My number one priority is safety! I know how tough it is leaving your furry friends in someone else’s care so I always do my best in promoting their safety and well-being.

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child. I worked for a vet clinic for a year. Really good with animals, love to play and give attention and cuddles! I am a stay at home mom so we would be able to go on walks in the park or just have fun in the back yard with the animals! I accommodate to whatever you need me to do. If you’d like/want me to stay with your pet I’d love to! Very flexible for whatever you’d like!

About: I’ve taken care of animals from the time I could walk. I was raised on a farm so I have extensive experience! Friends and family have requested me and suggested me to their acquaintances so I’ve had a large genre of animals I have cared for. I am in and out of town this summer so I am using this as my job whenever I am home! I am open any time and any day that I am in town and can accommodate to anyones busy schedule! In clients home, I play and love their animals. Walks, snuggles, belly rubs, play time, and attention is offered at an endless amount. Honestly, I want to pick up where y’all have left off, to make your pets as comfortable and loved as they are when their own family is home!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. I actually have a dog that I truly adore. My family always calls me whenever they have any questions about dogs. I am currently unemployed so therefore I’m available all day to take care of your fur babies while you’re out enjoying yourself whether it’s at work, vacation, or just hanging out. I will take them out for potting and walking. I will genuinely play with them whenever they want to be played with. I will make sure they are fed. Food must be brought with them. I will award them with treats for good behavior.


“I can’t say enough about Kendall. Rocky loved her and so did we. Never once did I feel stressed about leaving him. He was happy and comfortable when we got back. Would definitely use her again. Thanks for helping us have a great vacation.”


“Mackenzie has been great! Slinky likes her very very much and he likes his new friend Macy.”


About: Y'all, I have a broken ankle right now and am out of commission. I expect to be available again in July. I'll update my calendar once I know! My dog Lucy and I love to play. We go for 30-minute walks (at least) every day, run around and play fetch in the backyard, and play tug of war with her toys throughout the day. We would love for your pet to join us! When I was little, I was the hired pet sitter in the neighborhood, plus I also had my own pets growing up. As an adult, I've had my own pets and have been hired to pet-sit for several friends' dogs and cats, both short- and long-term gigs, over the years. I have experience administering oral medication to both dogs and cats and some dog grooming experience (although grooming is not my passion, ha). Weekends are when I consistently have the most time to focus on your pet, but I sometimes have some availability on weekdays. Just ask and I'll see what I can do! We have a fenced-in backyard (tall wooden fence) that is the size of an additional lot. The yard has a few shade trees and is mostly open grass. We have several toys to play with, both in the backyard and inside, including a water sprinkler. Your dog will not be left unattended in my care unless I need to run an errand briefly and they are secured according to your instructions (crated, etc.) We have a large dog crate your dog can use if you'd like so you don't have to bring yours back and forth. There are several safe places to go for walks nearby with lots of grassy areas.
