“Ashley went above and beyond in taking care on my beloved furry family members. I was worried about them while I was gone but she made sure they felt loved. Not only feeding my animals, but taking them on walks, giving lots of pets, and spending that extra bit of time with them has made me decide to keep Ashley on for as long as possible for when I need someone to take care of my animals. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone and everyone.”

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m a proud dog owner myself and have experience with different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication reminders, and giving pets the attention and affection they deserve. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I work a consistent schedule and have a reliable routine, which helps me provide dependable care. I’m available for pet visits, walks, and check-ins while making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they are my own and take time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality. Whether caring for pets in your home or providing visits, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive experience for both pets and their owners.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hattiesburg
Katherine was excellent. I had suffered an injury that made it impossible for me to care for my dogs, but she showed up every day and spent time with them. I could tell that she was a compassionate person, and that really helped me have less to worry about while recovering. I would absolutely call on her again.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hattiesburg choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

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.
