“Elizabeth is amazing! She took such good care of our two dogs while we were out of town and gracefully dealt with some unfortunate HVAC trouble. She’s an excellent communicator, reliable and super thoughtful. Thank you so much Elizabeth, we’ll be in touch next time we go out of town!”

About: I've taken care of dogs & cats for as long as I can remember. We keep our pets until they pass that rainbow bridge. I am very reliable and will always send updated photos every time I am with your pet to remind you they are in good hands. I am also experienced with large breeds and the tiniest of pets! Located in Petal, near the Library area 😊 Early mornings before school, or in the evenings are great as well. I usually sit outside with a cup of coffee in the morning so they can run around, then in the evening the door is open with free roam to come in & out. If care is done in my home we have a fenced-in covered fence backyard and two of our own dogs to play with. I also have two playful children who can play fetch for hours! If care is done in your home depending on being watched in a fenced backyard or on a leash. Your dog will be watched and given the attention they deserve.
About: I'm the foster coordinator at an animal shelter and I have experience training and dog sitting senior dogs, puppies, and special needs/disabled dogs! I also have experience cat sitting underage kittens who needed to be bottle fed! I worked as a doggy daycare attendee for 7 months and have more than a year experience volunteering at New Hope Animal Rescue Center. I'm very passionate about dogs and cats and love to study their behavior, health and nutrition! ❤ I work full time as a foster coordinator but can check on your precious furbabies anytime before I go into work at 9:00AM or when I get done after 5:00PM! If you live nearby enough I may also be able to check on your furbabies during my lunch break, shoot me a message and we'll sort it out! ☺️💕💕 I always make sure to respect an animal's personal space and boundaries by reading their body language to understand how they're feeling. I will do everything I can to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable with me. ❤
About: I’ve always had dogs in my family, so I look forward to taking care of pups! Spending time with the animals is one of my favorite things to do. I’m currently working part-time so i have ample time in my schedule to dog sit. I go on daily walks in the park, so it would be a treat to have a dog by my side I care for pets in their home by keeping them comfortable in the environment. They already know and love. I follow each pets normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, play time, medication if needed, and lots of attention and affection! I will also make sure the home stays clean, secure, and stress-free while providing regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they’re away.
“Alex was great housesitting Pei and Miso! Very communicative and left my apartment better than when she arrived 🫶 which was greatly appreciated after a 5.5 hour drive!”


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: I was a dolphin trainer for 7 years and have had dogs my whole life! I have experience with training animals and boarding them as well. I am a stay at home mom of an adorable 14 month old baby so I have LOTS of time on my hands. I also have a one year old puppy that I take care of as well. I live 5 minutes from the dog park and try to take my dog there daily. If I can’t make it to the park I will walk him around my apartment complex. We are a very pet friendly home!

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’ve always had animals growing up. I was the one to take care of the family pets. I was the one in the neighborhood to ask to take care of their animals. I currently have animals of my own too. I have plenty of experience taking care of all kinds of animals. I currently stay at home full time, I can always take care of your pet's needs. I also do this with my girlfriend so there is always someone taking care of them. I have a fenced in yard, that they can freely play in. I have several cats if they need someone to play with or I can separate them if needed.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, but I started taking a more active role in their care about 9 years ago. I began by helping with family pets and more recently started doing my own pet sitting and drop-ins. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities and have experience handling multiple dogs at once. I really enjoy getting to know each dog and figuring out what they like and need. I try to keep things calm and consistent so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m still building my experience, which is part of why my rates are lower right now, but I take pet care seriously and focus on giving your pet reliable, quality care. I’m currently in college. So my schedule is finicky. At school (Columbus, MS area): I’m available most afternoons. At home (Laurel/Hattiesburg, MS area): I’m mainly available on weekends and school breaks. Best times at home: Friday nights Anytime Saturday Sunday afternoons Schedule subject to change—please check my calendar for the most up-to-date availability. I live in town and like to keep dogs (and myself) active with regular walks and time outside. I pay attention to how each pet behaves so I can adjust to what they’re comfortable with, whether that’s pace, distance, or time. I will follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet stays safe and your home is respected. I also keep communication clear so you always know how things are going.
