“Katelyn was wonderful to our dog! She constantly sends updates with pictures and provided excellent care for him as she was his own. Will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Luvith and her family did a great job taking care of my pups. She worked with one of my dogs on her trick training, and both dogs had a great time playing in her huge backyard! We will definitely be boarding with this family again.”
“Went out of the country for 28 days, Bailey accommodated my pets need to be fed with mixed kibble and cooked/raw food. I picked up my pet freshly bathed and she looks happy. Sends pics and videos when you request.”
“We have never left our fur baby with anyone before, so we were nervous to leave him. The family was absolutely great! They sent us pictures and allowed us to check in on him all through out our trip. Sweet family. Highly recommend them.”
“Highly recommend!! Brandy and her family were great with our dog. Excellent communication, quick response, and it’s very clear they love animals. She responded on really short notice and was fantastic to work with. Will book again!”
“Megan is the best! She kept my pup busy and happy all week. Sent lots of good pictures and videos. She spends lots of time inside and outside with your pup. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was young and have plenty of experience with being a sitter. I also have a degree in biology/zoology which provides me work more information on the furry friends I work with. I am currently a pilates instructor who makes my own schedule so I am plenty flexible. I will most likely be available on the weekends. I live in a safe apartment with my husband. We have no pets or kids. We have a large field in the back of our apartment which would be great for a leashed fur baby to play in.
“Lyric was great! She was very accommodating and enjoyed watching our cat Velma. She was very communicative and flexible when I had to modify my booking last minute. Thanks So much girl!”
About: I have raised many kids and many dogs over the years and I’d love to care for your sweet dogs- much love will be provided For the summer, I am free pretty much all the time and I can sit in any of the surrounding towns around central Mississippi :) I have many years experience with dogs starting as a small girl. I’m a nurturer by nature and will be the most attentive person for your pet.
About: My wife stays home full time with our kids, so small pets receive lots of love and attention in our home. We’ve both had dogs our entire lives and genuinely enjoy caring for others’ pets too. My wife stays at home full time with our kids, and I work 2-3 minutes away. We’re both available to care for pets throughout the day. We have a spacious home that’s perfect for small house dogs, along with large front and back yards for potty breaks and playtime. We’re also able to crate pets either indoors or outdoors, depending on their needs.
About: Hi!!! My name is Lauryn! I have always had a strong love and passion for animals— rather they’re inside pets, or a tiny creature outdoors! I became a dog mommy at 5 years old, and haven’t looked back since! 💓 I currently have three fur babies of my own. I would love to assist you for the care of your pets when needed! My hours are pretty flexible!!! :)) I am willing to work whenever I am I needed, and I don’t mind fitting anyone in as long as I have a open schedule for the day! I am pretty flexible and patient with younger and elderly dogs, as I have both of my own. I don’t mind cleaning up after dogs inside or out if they have a accident. My fur babies are always leashed when we go on walks, and greeted to fresh cool water on breaks! I enjoy giving belly rubs, and cuddles just as much as the doggies! — I don’t mind making arrangements to fit your needs, please feel free to ask any questions… I would love to assist you and your fur baby/babies as much as I can! ❤️
About: I’m a dog momma myself to two beautiful sweet boys that I love dearly. I’ve grown up taking care of dogs of many sizes and breeds. I’ve kept my neighbors, family and friends pups, and their pups and I enjoyed every moment! Your pups are a top priority and will be taken care of in the best way and treated like one of my own. I’m home every day of the week most of the time, unless I have a doctors appointment. I’m available most weekends unless my husband and I have plans which isn’t too often. My husband and I have a big newly fenced in backyard. We also have 2 pet friendly dogs of our own. We have the ability to crate your pups in a separate room of our own pups if needed. Their food and water will be separated from our dogs food and water. If your pups need a walk and are leash trained, I can walk them around in our neighborhood.
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with anyone other than family. Alyssa and Tyler did a good job with our three dogs over the holidays. It’s nice to have someone in the area that we can trust with our dogs for an extended period of time. We will rebook with them in the future.”
“Brian was THE BEST dog sitter that I’ve ever used through Rover. He went above and beyond for my high maintenance/ spoiled puppy dogs. He mixed wet and dry food together for my two greyhounds and fed them in their slow feeders, invited them up on the sofa, fed them boiled eggs, and even let us lay out carpet runners for my strange dog who is scared of hardwood floors ??! He sent great pictures and videos to let us know the dogs were doing well. His dog, Rommel, is a total sweetheart and my dogs got along great with him and they all had fun playing in his large fenced yard. My dogs had so much fun they looked like they almost didn’t want to leave.”
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 5 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 have grown up with animals my entire life. My first pet was a stray cat I named Smokey when I was 3 years old. We rescued my first dog, Lucky, from the pound for my fourth Christmas. I was gifted my first chocolate lab, Wesson, for my 6th birthday. I rescued a litter of kittens who’s mom got ran over by a car when I was 10. I still have two of those cats to this day - Prince and Tiggy (14 years old, happy, and spoiled rotten). When I went off to college I adopted my soul dog, a black lab I named Enzo, from the Humane Society. Unfortunately, he passed away in November of last year. The point is, I’m a genuine animal lover who will treat your pets like my own - because that’s what they’ll be in my care. Nothing brings me more joy than a dog licking my face or a cat rubbing against my leg. I promise your babies are safe with me. Not only will they be safe, they’ll be happy :) I’m currently working full time Monday through Friday 8-5. I can walk dogs, check on pets, play with them, etc. before 8 AM, during my lunch break 12-1, and after work (5 PM). I am completely open and free on Saturdays and Sundays. My apartment has a fenced in dog park right across from my apartment building that is very rarely used, but in good condition. I have two cats that I can keep locked on one side of the house if your animals prefer no company :). I am very flexible and can adjust to most needs your babies might have!
