House Sitting in Columbus

“Colin did a great job watching my boy for me for 3 weeks. He updated 3-4 times a day without being asked, made sure he was stimulated enough and overall was greatly taken care of. I’d trust him fully to do it many times over. 10/10!”

“In a word, WOW! Charla exceeded our expectations in *every* dimension: proactivity, timely communication, and plenty of updates and photos, and additionally she left our home immaculate! We are beyond pleased and based on this experience we would not hesitate to welcome her back into our home to care for our 13yr.old and 2 yr. old Parson Russells if she would care to do so. We would absolutely recommend her pet sitting and house sitting services without any reservation.”

“Reagan was great! Her communication was on point, and she was prompt to every appointment. My dog adored her and can't wait to have her puppy sit again soon! Would highly recommend.”

“Whitney watched our babies for a week. She sent daily updates with photos and kept me in the loop! I appreciate her keeping in contact with me. I’m glad I found Whitney!”

About: I have had experience with cats of all ages and temperaments since I was a small child. Currently I have a senior cat who gets medication and urinary care food every day. I’ve grown up with dogs and have plenty of experience walking them. I work from home so I am able to devote full attention to your pet! I also have access to getting on the AFB if you are a military pet parent. Being around animals calms me and I enjoy dogs just as much as cats! When I visit my parents I take their dogs on runs and love playing ball with them. I am unable to cat/dog sit at my house since my cat does not have experience with dogs/cats. I am only available for drop in visits at your home at this time. If you book house sitting with me, I will stay at your home during the day to care for your pet but leave in the evening. If I am caring for your dog, they will receive 2 30-min walks and several potty breaks.

About: Hi, my name is Sara! I am a first-year architecture student at Mississippi State University. Outside of my love for animals, I also enjoy crocheting, watching tv shows, and exploring new places!

For more details, please read the section related to my schedule! I have always had pets for as long as I can remember! Sadly, I do not have any prior pet sitting experience and I am hoping to change that! I have taken care of my family pets, ranging from dogs, cats, chickens, and turkeys, since I was 12. Although I am at college now, I have two chocolate labs, Sako and Ruger, and 4 cats. Caz and Leo are my two house cats and Tammy and Fanta are the two stray cats that adopted me, lol. I love and respect all animals, just as they are! My schedule over MSU’s Winter Break: Nov. 30-Dec. 3: Booneville area Dec. 4-8: Starkville area Dec. 9-10: Booneville area *Dec. 11-17: NO PLANS YET* Dec. 18-Jan. 1: Booneville Area Side Notes: -My schedule can always change. I will try to update this section any time there is an update! -After Jan. 1, I do not know what my schedule will look like (as of Nov. 30). -Any days I will not be taking bookings will be located on the calendar, but will not be located here. -*Dec. 11-17: NO PLANS YET* This means that I can be in either Booneville or Starkville area! So don’t be afraid to book at this time! Your pets' happiness and safety are top priority. Although I cannot provide a fenced yard, I will be with your pet, on a leash, anytime they are outside. I can make any accommodations if needed. I aim to provide a stress-free, fun, and memorable experience for everyone.

About: I have been around pets my whole life. From bigger dogs like Great Danes to small dogs like Yorkshire Terriers. I also am around cats a lot. I have dog sat for my sister multiple times. Sadly her beloved pups have passed; she had a Pit Bull Terrier and a Basset Hound. They were both older in age and the Pit Bull would take medication. I have bathed, feed, and brushed both cats and dogs. I have also walked dogs of many sizes, and given medication to dogs and cats as needed. I own a miniature dachshund, Pickles, who is still in the puppy stage so I am well equipped to handle puppies. Pickles is friendly with dogs, cats, and children. My sister, Emily, helps me with clients and their pups. So if I’m not available on a particular day, she may be (she is pictured above)! I am currently a college student so my schedule is pretty open during the day! Other than my morning and sometimes afternoon classes, I’m pretty open schedule wise. My weekend availability works around my job. I will brush and groom your beloved pet as requested. I will make sure they are let out to use the restroom every 2-4 hours. If it is a cat i will try to clean their litter box daily. They will be feed on a schedule you will prefer, this will make sure the pet’s schedule is not changed up to much. I will make sure that your special pup goes on at least one walk a day. Last, I will show them as much love as I show my pets at home!

“Samantha was absolutely wonderful when she watched our two dogs while we were away on vacation. She provided updates daily with pictures and ensured they were well taken care of. I recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and professional person for dog services.”

“Lilli and Itty loved Judd from the moment they met him! Thankful that he had time to keep our dogs for a short get away and will definitely keep our fingers crossed that he is available next time we travel. Judd is very conscientious and kind!!”

“I can't begin to say enough about Lily and her pet sitting skills. We have had many dogs over the years and some quite challenging. Elderly low energy to rescue quirky and high energy and she's managed every one with love, kindness and quality care. We leave a page of instructions on feeding, special needs and exercise and she's got it all covered. She knows how to build trust with any animal. We have one pup that rarely goes to any stranger but she goes to Lily! She walks the pups as needed if we request it. Dog's reactions don't lie - they are all crazy happy any time they see her? We know the dogs will be happy and safe in her care at all times. My only regret is Lily doesn't live close to us any more and I can't hire her!!”

About: I have rescued dogs since I was 8 years old. I now board dogs and groom dogs. I understand them so well. And I love working with them. I also will groom your pup for half price of my normal price during my stay so your puppy is less stressed while being groomed. I work a full time job boarding and grooming dogs and cats. But I will be able to be there every night and every morning to make sure they are let out fed and watered. And played with and loved on. I will make sure they have food , water, there medicine on time if they have medicine they need to take. I will make sure they are comfortable and happy and getting all the loving they can get.

“Rosemary was fantastic; she took good care of my doggy Nacho. She played with him and spent time with him. She also let me know how he was and sent me daily photos, and she went further she watered my plants, printed a Nacho photo and left the house neat.”

About: I'm new to pet sitting but I've always had pets starting from childhood to the present. I simply adore animals and thankfully they love me in return. My schedule is open at this time. I want to do something I absolutely love and I find keeping company with all animals quite therapeutic. At this time I do not offer care in my home. When caring for your baby, I'll simply follow any instructions you leave and do it in a timely fashion.
