About: I can't currently have a pet because I'm moving soon, but I love them so much. I technically have 5: 3 cats, 2 dogs. I am very active and I love hiking and walking and nature so this gives me another excuse to be outside AND with a buddy!! I have a very flexible schedule. I am currently between jobs and looking for part time. I'm independent, have a car, and am willing to drive the extra mile if people need. I understand being busy and needing a helping hand. As long as there is strong communication and set guidelines for how your pet needs to be cared I should always be able to deliver.

About: As someone who has always had a special place in her heart for animals, Rover has been such a wonderful way to make extra income doing something that not only comes natural to me, but I also take a lot of pride and JOY in doing! I live in a house with a large fenced yard near the avenues towards Downtown Hattiesburg. There, I have the sweetest and most happy golden retriever-mix named Daisy. I also have a chunky black cat named Ivee who is more elusive than her counterpart, but nonetheless sweeter. The last of my clan is another cat named Olive, who has an affinity for cardboard boxes and nose boops. I have plenty of experience taking care of both dogs and cats of various sizes, ages, and energy levels. In my experience, I have housed both cats and dogs as well as traveled to other people‘s houses to provide their pets with the best care within their own homes. I have experience boarding up to seven dogs in my home at the same time on several occasions. I am pretty flexible as a pet sitter, and I want to do whatever it takes to have your furry friends as comfortable as they could be while you are away! I'm currently a part-time Behavioral Therapist for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and/or behavioral issues. My schedule varies daily to accommodate the needs of my clients, but as a devoted pet mom, I already incorporate pet care in my every day life. I have a large yard with a tall fence that I like to have dogs go out to play, run around, and use the restroom. For cats, I have various toys and an extra litter box handy for their needs as well. If it so happens that the animals I am watching need to split up from the others in the house, I have extra rooms that make this possible as well. I am very fortunate to live in a house that allows me to tailor my services to meet the needs of different clients. I just ask that owners let me know in advance of any special needs like this so I can have my house prepared before our furry friends' arrival!

About: I’m great at giving medicine, cat and dogs alike, as i’ve done it personally with my own pets and others pets. I’m good at following owner directions and paying attention to certain changes in pets. I’ve never met an animal who hasn’t loved me! I am coming back home from school and will be free anytime someone needs me! I’m more than happy to adjust to last minute plans if someone is in need for a pet sitter. I’m great at following instructions and learning each individual pet and their needs. Family and friends have trusted me to take care of their pets so you can trust me with your fur baby! If a pet needs medication, certain feeding instructions, or specific instructions, I am reliable and willing to help!

About: I have dog sat for many years now for 3 toy poodles and the occasional Yorkie. I’ve given lots of love, baths, attempted grooming, and given them lessons in Spanish. Not only that, I’ve also owned cats for the better part of 11 years. Currently am not working, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I am available primarily Monday-Friday and can drop in to check on your fur family from 7 AM - 6 PM. I am very punctual in taking dogs outside for potty time and during feeding time. Because I do not have a fenced in yard, I am unable to care for larger dogs. I tend to have many petting sessions and napping sessions with the dogs I care for and will do the same for your furry companions.

About: I have had cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of my furry friends since I was old enough to carry the cat or dog food. I currently have 2 dogs, and 7 cats. All of our babies have been adopted, found or left to me from family members. They all get along, and can often be found in a cuddle pile together. I would love to meet and hang out with your four legged friend! I am a teacher. My drop in hours during the week would be after 3pm. I am available am/pm during the weekends. When we have school breaks I am available am/pm weekdays and weekends. I am flexible with your pets needs. Just leave instructions and I can take care of the rest. I can medicate, walk, or take for pup cups!

About: Volunteering in animal shelters, fostering, and independent animal rescue work has given me years of experience in animal behavior and care. I live on a 7 acre rural homestead with lots of room to walk dogs. We do not have a fence so visiting dogs will always be on leash. I have a large room set aside as my petsitting room so that your pet can move around freely and we can have plenty of room to play and snuggle. My personal pets love other animals and are always up to date on vetting, so if they are compatible, they are more than welcome to romp and play with my fun crew! I currently work from home as a part time tutor and homesteader, so I am available to give your pets all the attention they need. Pet care is personalized. I will discuss your animals’ needs with you and we will determine what will work best for them in the way of living and sleeping arrangements. I’m very flexible and want what is best for your fur baby. Pet care is already a staple in my daily life. I'm a nurturer by nature. I often drive transports with 40+ dogs and cats cross country to their adopters and have to care for them all! I have one rescue dog who is very timid and dog friendly. She sometimes comes with me when I dogsit and sometimes stays at home with my partner, just depending on the situation.

About: I've owned dogs and cats since I was about 9 or 10. I have no problem with walking and cleaning up after animals. I've done it for years. I'm seeking to obtain a part-time job at a supermarket, so I'll be available throughout the week and sometimes on weekends to care for your animals. The dogs that I've had in the past normally had plenty of room in the yard to roam free. I also owned smaller dogs which were kept in the house which had to same opportunities as our bigger dogs.

About: I have the sweetest rescue pitbull who i found two years ago on the side of the highway after she got hit by a car. Poor baby was all skin and bones, had been starved and abused, and only could walk on 3 legs. Now, she’s gained 25 pounds, got fixed and vaccinated, and can walk on all legs. Now she’s my emotional support animal! She’s a total sweetheart and my best friend- even cuddles me to sleep every night :) I have actually been able to teach her how to sit, shake, and stay! Growing up my family had 4 dogs and 4 cats all of my life, so I was responsible for walking, feeding, cleaning up messes, and playing with them! I’m an online college student so i can be very flexible when it comes to scheduling and daily/weekly routines. i also have a great dog park at my complex When I am in someone’s house while pet sitting, I treat every home like it has security cameras. I’m very respectful of boundaries and safety. After feeding/walking/playing, I tidy up anything left out or any other messes. I am very friendly and have never had an animal react badly towards me.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and was responsible for their care in our home from the age of 8 on. I worked in a veterinary clinic for 1.5 years and have hands-on experience with cats and dogs of all ages. I can feed on whatever schedule you prefer and can also administer any routine medications for your pet. I’m currently a full-time Master’s student trying to finish my degree. I’m available most days and times and can make most things work with enough notice. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs, four cats, and thirty-eight chickens. We live in a quiet area with little noise or disturbance. I’m able to do drop-in care and scheduled walks as well.

About: I have cared for all sorts of animals growing up such as dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. We have a pet pot belly pig, Dumplin, who I've taught a few tricks 😊. I have trained a few dogs (puppy-adult) however I am not a certified/professional trainer; I just have a passion for connecting with dogs. If your pet needs someone to stop by to interact with, let out to potty, give medication, walk, brush, etc. then look no further. I will be happy to help! I currently work a full-time job, so as of right now I'm available on the weekends. I would be open to drop in after work if need be. (after 5pm) The type of care is dependent upon the species and/or breed. I will abide by the routine you and fur babies are used to. With a little extra play time of course 😋

About: I’m a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including my own senior dog whom I’ve raised since he was a puppy. Over the years, I’ve cared for several different breeds and temperaments, and I’m comfortable providing calm, reliable support tailored to each pet’s needs. Your furry family member will always be in gentle, attentive hands. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I’m already used to caring for my own senior dog every day. I plan my mornings and evenings around feeding, walks, and check-ins, and I’m consistent with giving pets the attention and comfort they need. Throughout the week, I make time for play, potty breaks, and any special care instructions. Whether it’s sticking to a schedule or offering extra cuddles, I’m flexible and dedicated to keeping pets happy and comfortable. When pets are in my home, I make sure they have a comfortable and safe space to relax, plenty of attention, and a routine that feels familiar to them. I keep a clean environment, follow their feeding and medication schedules, and make time for walks, play, and quiet moments. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions exactly as given. I stick to the pet’s normal routine, keep their area tidy, and make sure they feel calm, cared for, and comfortable while their owner is away!
