Britt took great care of our two cats, which is no small feat because we have an older lady and a wild boy who are all over the place. She was also a gem in helping me navigate our first booking through Rover. Thank you, Britt!

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.

Sheree and Boyd are great! Very thoughtful with extras like bringing in the recycle bin and packages from the porch. They sent pics of our cats and stayed in touch. No worries with our cats having everything they needed while we were gone. Will be rebooking soon.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was abt 10 y/o. Various sizes—toy poodle & border collie. Both hold a special place in my heart! I’m currently not working but I have a fair amount of medical appts and infusion appts. I would be st your house before & after my appts. If you selected staying overnight I would do that. I will care for your pet in your home-their natural environment. Home = safety! Their toys, their cozy spots, their food and water bowls, their yards (if an outdoor cat), etc

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 love all pets like they are my own. My kids and dog love pets. We love outdoors and would love to give my kids more experience with other animals outside of our own. I am available almost everyday all day long. When I need to run out for usually no more than an hour. I am just a loving pet owner that would like to help bring in additional income while having fun and spending time with my family. I can not wait to meet your dog and love on them. All animals must show proof of vaccinations being up to date. As well as be on flea, tick, and heart worm prevention. I work from home right now with plenty of free time to come to play with your fur babies. I can house sit every other weekend. Willing to come to you or pet whenever needed to assist in all daily activities. Also willing to house sit in your home if needed.

About: A recent graduate of Mississippi State College of Veterinary Medicine with a bachelor's in Veterinary Medical Technology! I have had pets all my life and have gained experience while in school and through volunteering, and now through currently working at a local vet office as a technician. I also have experience in pet sitting at owner's houses and through repeat clientele for pet sitting and walking. I would love to gain additional experience through pet sitting/walking. I recently graduated from the Vet Tech program at MSU and currently work at a local vet office, so this allows me to take care of pets full time on the weekends! I can also do late afternoon walks or drop ins during the weekdays after work! With experience in pet sitting and walking, I’m ready to keep your fur baby entertained or, if they prefer, just relax and give them cuddles!

About: I grew up with 3 dogs at a time, if not more, for most of my life. I’ve had 4 cats. I also grew up with nine goldfish caught from the fair that are all still alive today. I currently have one family dog, one family cat, and nine goldfish. I am a full time student at USM and an active member of the sorority, Delta Delta Delta. I will make this job one of my top priorities. At home, my dog is well trained and she is an outside and inside dog. She loves going on boat rides and we make sure that she gets plenty of love all the time. For clients, I will precisely follow instructions and treat the client’s pet like my own.

About: Although my family has never owned a dog, I have always loved taking care of my aunts, neighbors, and family friends dogs. I always make sure to pay attention to detail when watching a dog and meet each dogs needs whether that be a walk, playing with a toy, belly rubs, or even just relaxing. As a graduate student at USM, I will have time during the day for a dog walk, or to check-in on your pup! I will be available on most weekends for house and dog sitting. I am available to come to your dog and stay with him/her so they do not have to move out of their comfortable environment and stay at a new space with new people.

it was my first time using an outside Cat Sitter other than family members so I was quite nervous. Carly turned out to be wonderful. She was reliable, super friendly, and my baby took to her immediately I would highly recommend her as I plan on using her for any of my upcoming trips.

Kennedy did such a great job taking care of my cat! She has incredibly flexible hours and sent me a ton of pictures while I was on vacation. I seriously did not worry about my pet while I was away, and am so grateful that I didn't have to put my unusually skittish cat up for boarding for a week. I'd definitely use her again!

About: To me, our pets are like family. They deserve to have the best care available since they are dependent on us to provide for them. I enjoy spending time with animals and will follow their routines so they feel comfortable and safe. I am a detail-oriented person — I will make sure your pets are cared for according to your directions, with a lot of cuddles sprinkled in (if they are snugglers). I am a freelance writer, semi-retired, so I have a lot of time on my hands to devote to animals in my care. I enjoy playing fetch or tug-of-war or providing whatever other stimulation your pet needs. For those who prefer to be alone or sleep all day, I'll respect their space and keep watch from a distance. I try to follow the routines of the pet parents, so the pets have some consistency while their family is away. That's also why I prefer to stay in the home, so they are in a place they already know and feel comfortable with. I feed at the designated times and am vigilant about potty breaks or cleaning litter boxes, taking walks or whatever else the pet does in the course of a typical day. I don't give table food or snacks to pets, and I will handle any type of emergency per your instructions. I love to take pictures and videos of your pets throughout the day and will send them to you, so you know your babies are doing great. I don't mind running errands or collecting the mail and other small tasks that may be needed while you are away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hattiesburg on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 83 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hattiesburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hattiesburg stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
