About: I can take care of any and all dog sizes! I pet sit my grandma's small dogs and love to hang out with my great dane! I can take all size dogs on walks. I volunteer with animal shelters to take the dogs out on adventures! I am a full-time student, but before or after classes, I have lots of free time to care for pets! I can stop by for short or longer periods of time, and dog walks are perfect to give both of us exercise! I like to make the pet comfortable with me before doing anything else. Once the pet is warmed up to me, I'll feed them, play with them, or take them on walks. I'll always respect the home I'm in and use only what is provided for the pets.
About: I have had pets my entire life - cats, dogs, even a bird once! I currently have two senior shepherd mixes who were mine and my husband’s first babies adopted from Southern Pines. I enjoy interacting with all animals, and I am very conscious of being in their personal spaces and the respect that should come with that. I am also an artist who specializes in pet portraits! Animals who share our spaces bring so much joy and comfort - I am here to provide support for when you need to get away but make sure your fur-babies are safe and comfortable. I am currently working as a freelance artist and graphic designer, following my dream to step away from corporate America and invest time into doing what I love. As I’m still building my business and portfolio, I have the time and flexibility to provide consistent and reliable care for drop-in visits in the Hattiesburg area. I am located in Midtown Hattiesburg, but can drive to wherever I’m needed! I am an empathetic, compassionate person who does not like to do things half-way. I have experience in puppy care, kitten care, bottle feeding, oral medication administration, and general engagement and I will respond to your pet’s cues for how much attention they are open to receiving. Just give me an overview or written instructions on what you typically do and I will try to maintain as much consistency and stability for your fur-baby as I can.
About: I am experienced former vet tech and was a lead kennel tech. I held this position for 6 years between 2 vet clinics. I have a big passion and heart for my clients and their fur babies. I am looking to start this new job experience of house sitting. In the past my busy schedule did not allow me to take on clientele. I look forward to meeting you and building a relationship with your fur babies so while you are doing life they can enjoy playtime in the sun.--Camie Morris I'm currently a providing full-time pet-sitting services for a friend and am looking to expand my clientele this year. I prioritize reliability, communication, and making sure each pet receives the time and attention they deserve. I'm happy to discuss scheduling needs with clients to find a routine that works best for their pets. Because I live with a roommate I am unable to sit dogs at my house. when dog sitting I make it a priority to give them as much outside time as possible based on the breed and health of the pet. (weather permitting)

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hattiesburg
Our original pet sitter fell through the day prior to our week-long vacation. My wife and I were scrambling to find someone. Thankfully, Katherine accepted our request very quickly! Katherine took excellent care of our cat, was very responsive whenever we reached out, and sent daily photos and updates. We are incredibly grateful for Katherine’s help and will definitely book with her again in the future!
My plans for cat care fell through the night before my trip, but Katherine agreed to step in at the last minute. She consistently provided reliable care for my Judy while I was away so that I could enjoy myself and not have to worry about what was happening back home. I got several pictures every day, and Judy looked happy getting her daily treats. I highly recommend Katherine for your pet.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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.
