“Jacob did an amazing job with our two dogs and home. He came out and met them the night before on short notice. He was a lifesaver and we will be calling him again! Our dogs can be choosy and they hit it off with Jacob right away. Great Experience!”


“Timothy was awesome with my sweet boy Dozer! He did everything as instructed including medication administration and followed his special diet. We will be booking with Timothy again in the near future. He even sent photos!”

I work from home and make my own schedule, so I will be dedicated to caring for your fur baby. I enjoy working with animals. I can care for your animals in my home. I have a large fenced in backyard.

“Lena is a gem! We couldn't ask for a kinder gentler soul to care for our pups in our home. She was very attentive with our elderly fur babies which left us at ease to leave home and enjoy our vacation. We've already booked a second trip with her! It's a wonderful feeling knowing you can entrust your pups (and home) to such a sweet person. 5 out of 5 stars? We'd give her 10 stars if we could!”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I truly treat every pet like family. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. I’m also a dog owner myself, so I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and attentive. I stay active, love spending time outdoors, and always make sure pets get the exercise, love, and attention they deserve. Whether it's sticking to a feeding routine, giving medications, or just making sure your dog gets plenty of playtime, I’ve got it covered! I’m currently working part time but I’m very flexible. I can do early mornings, late nights, overnights, etc. if you need me, I’m there to take care of your pet! When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I make sure your pet sticks to their usual routine, gets lots of attention, and feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you're away.

About: Hi there! My name is Laikin. I have experience as a volunteer and foster at the local humane society for 6+ years. I have been dog sitting for over 7 years now, so I have experience with most breeds, sizes, and shapes of dogs. :) I personally own one dog, an australian shepard mix! I love spending time with dogs. I am good at following the directions and spending quality time with your pups! They will be in good hands and you’ll feel safe trusting me. I am responsible and able to stay calm in situations in order to give the best care to your dog! Look forward to meeting your pup :) I have lots of experience balancing my other responsibilities with providing quality pet care! I regularly worked as a sitter throughout my time as a full time college athlete. I have had experience with lots of different dogs with various needs, including various medical conditions. I am very good at following directions and providing loving care!

“Our pup was very happy being watched by Emma and we were happy to know she was in good hands and have frequent updates on how things were going. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”


About: A little bit about me- I grew up on a farm with lots of animals, during my older teen ages I fostered animals with my mom for our local humane society. I have volunteered on farms and even a fox sanctuary so I’m pretty confident with animals! I’m currently working part time so i have a lot of free time to watch or walk any kind of animal! Thursday through Sunday are the best days for me! I have a big yard and a great area to walk dogs. The house is pretty substantial so any animal will be able to run around!


About: I have been an avid animal lover and caretaker for all of my life. I am the friend everybody calls when they need someone they trust to ensure their pets are properly cared for. Animals are truly my passion and I cannot wait to meet your pets! I am currently working part-time and furthering my education so I have plenty of time in my week to help you with all of your pet care needs. Every pet owner has different expectations for the care of their furry friends. I am happy to work with you to decide on a gameplan that puts both you and your pets at ease.


About: Hi! Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From high-energy puppies to slow-paced seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — each one with their own quirks and needs. Whether your pup needs daily walks, playtime in the yard, belly rubs, medication, or a consistent routine while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. I’m confident, calm, and attentive — and I always treat pets like they’re my own. I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog behind, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, an overnight stay, or a week of care, I’m here to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at home — even when you’re not. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets — whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Because I’m not tied to a full-time job, I’m able to adjust my availability based on each pet’s needs. I make sure to build my day around their routines, so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for — just like they would with you. Whether it’s one-on-one playtime, regular feeding schedules, or keeping up with medications, I take the time to make sure everything runs smoothly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and comforting. In your home: I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding and walk times to their favorite spots to nap. I keep everything clean, secure, and consistent, so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep you updated with regular photos and messages. In my home: I offer a pet-safe, cozy space where your dog (or cat, depending on needs) will get one-on-one attention and feel like part of the family. I maintain a clean environment with plenty of play, rest, and cuddle time. If your pet has special needs or routines, I’m happy to accommodate them — from crate training to medication schedules. No matter where the care happens, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, affection, and full attention to their emotional and physical well-being.

About: I have always grown up with pets and farm animals and I have great experience with both. I have great references from friends, family, and even people I have met from dog sitting for them. I am also certified for Pet CPR and First Aid. I am currently employed part-time at Hibbett Sports in Jackson. Currently, I am going to school for my Bachelor’s in Middle Childhood education. This allows me to have a free schedule for pet sitting. I usually stay with the pets so they get the love and attention that they deserve during my time watching them. I try to send updates on the pets every 1-2 days to help the owners feel more comfortable while they are gone from their fur babies!

“Thank you Annie for taking good care of my two dogs. It's clear you are an animal lover. I appreciate the note detailing care you provided each day, that you left at the end of the time. Blessings to you in your dog care business and the other aspects of your life.”

Paul Z.
“I have observed Paul many times walking his German Shepard. Paul's dog is very well behaved. It is obvious he loves animals. We have a dozen dogs in our neighborhood and they all love him. He has assisted people with training their dogs, he is taking care of a dog right now. He handles dogs with patience and kindness, and draws the best behavior out dogs he works through consistent commands and encouragement. He would be a very good Rover employee.”
