“DeAnna did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 kitties. We received daily notes which included info about their care but also how they were getting along with her. This greatly reduced our worry especially about our older cat. She obviously loves pets. I would not hesitate to book DeAnna again!”

About: Hi! I'm a proud dog mom of three, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can trust with them! I previously managed a pet resort, where I gained plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to laid-back seniors, I've worked with them all! I'm also pet CPR certified, so safety is just as important to me as making sure your pets are happy and loved. Whether your pup needs a walk, a potty break, some playtime, or just a little extra attention while you're away, I'm happy to help! I know how much I appreciate pictures and updates of my own dogs, so you can definitely expect those from me, too! My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while giving you one less thing to worry about. I'll treat your fur babies like they're my own! 🐾❤️

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 south Mississippi :) When school starts I can still board or sit your pet as long as they are OK during the workday as I am a teacher. 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: I have always had pets of my own my entire life. I am also the go to dog walker, kitty sitter, and fish feeder in my neighborhood. With my medical skills ( with specific instruction from you) I can administer pills and medications as needed. I am highly responsible and will treat your fur babies with much love and follow your routines to keep them happy. I am happy to take them for many walks and play as much ball as they would like:) As a homeowner and pet owner myself. I can appreciate also that leaving your pets in the care of a stranger can be nerve wracking. I will treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I give mine. Since I’m retired, I have the flexibility and availability to give your pets the attention, companionship, and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether your dog loves playtime, walks, cuddles or simply having someone nearby. I will make sure they feel comfortable and cared for as if they were my own. Your pup will be treated like family in my home. I have a large fenced-in yard for safe playtime, they are welcome to my entire home—no being confined to a kennel unless that’s what they are used to and prefer. They will always be treated like one of my own 🐾 ❤️

About: I have had dogs most of my life. I had my Lola 14 years. She was my travel buddy and my best friend. We swam in the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Mediterranean. I have no problem with breed, I have been around many breeds and have love for all of them. I play music 2-3 nights per week and work from home, so I can do lots of potty breaks and walks throughout the day. Also, able to give medications throughout the day. I have had well trained dogs and love working with them. I will take good care of your puppies and rub your older dogs hips. 😊 I work weekend nights playing music. I do voiceover work from home. I wake up early I have a very open schedule and am available anytime. We have three cats where I live. I play with them and they wait outside my door every morning. They love me because I’m allergic. 😃 I like breaking up the day, so we will all have lots of walks and play time. I am detail oriented and will follow your instructions while loving your fur babies like my own.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Fernland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fernland is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 442 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fernland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fernland. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
