“Paula was great keeping our small dog in our home. She sent pictures daily and from her comments I could tell she liked our dog and was having fun with him. She also left the house in great shape. I will definitely use her again!”


About: I am a vet tech with lots of experience of animals of all kinds. I also have my own zoo at home including 3 dogs, a cat I am a veterinary technician working 30-40 hours a week but I do drop ins before and after work.

About: Growing up I’ve always had pets, even to today. I have a passion for animals, both cats and dogs, that I like to share with others. I have cared for my own pets as well as friend and family member’s. Care included vet visits, walks, play time, baths and feedings according to specific schedules. I also previously worked at a vet in Flowood as a veterinary technician! Currently I work part time from home as a legal assistant. I get to choose my own hours and allow for breaks as necessary. This allows me freedom to care for scheduled visits, play time, potty breaks, etc. Currently, I have a cat that is both inside and outside. I give her freedom to roam around outside within my eyesight. We live on the countryside of Canton, so there is plenty of room for pets to run around and play.

We have a son that’s 24 that lives at home and he is a huge dog lover. Our little Yorkie, Widget, has him wrapped around her finger.

We have a large fenced in backyard and plenty of room to run and play. We have plenty of space in our home but will also come to your home so your fur family is comfortable in their own space.

About: Because of my loving concern that I have for my very own dog, it really makes me one of the perfect candidates. I love my 🐕 he's rotten to the core. I am currently working a very stressful schedule which does not allow me the time that I would seriously love to have to spend with more or to care for that of others. You have to pay serious attention to details and not take everything to seriously dogs are our companions. Treat me just a such, because they deserve it

“Kaylen is hands down the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. She didn’t just watch my dog she treated him like family. From personalized playtime to consistent updates with photos, I always knew my pup was in loving hands. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog who clearly got more attention and care than I could’ve imagined. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my fur baby”
