“He did a great job taking care of my two cats. Very punctual and great at communicating. Went above and beyond for me even sweeping the floor towards the end without my asking. 10/10, would book again.”


“Perfect. I was thrilled my skittish little girl let her pet her. The animals loved her and she did a good job. She even sent me pictures of my angels. Will definitely use her again”


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 part-time 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.

About: I have three dogs of my own and I love meeting and caring for new pets. I have experience dog sitting from puppies to senior dogs. I work during the week but evenings and weekends are usually free to care for pets. Flexible schedule allows me to leave and let pets out and care for them as needed. Due to having dogs if my own I prefer to pet sit at the client’s home to ensure their pet’s utmost safety and comfortability. I always follow all instructions left by owners and make sure their pet has a great experience while their owners are gone.


About: I haven't spent a singular year of my life without a fur companion and likely never will. I currently love 3 senior pets and appreciate every moment we have remaining. I understand the stress of leaving a pet (especially senior) and aim to offer as much calm and ease as possible. No matter the size and/or tempermant, animals deserve respect and love. They're only here for so long, so let's make that time wonderful! I just finished my first military service contract and am waiting for my next contract to begin. I am free most days and nights both weekdays and weekends. I follow specific instructions based on each individual's pet needs. I am very observant of lapses in regular behavior and react accordingly. I am no stranger to providing medication and getting creative with how to give the medication as to limit the stress on the pet. I have a large fenced in yard with free roam chickens (can be caged if needed).

About: I have 1 dog (Chico). I am a current USM Student studying Pre-Vet. I also am studying for my Veterinary Assisting Certification. I look forward to taking good care of your furry friends! I currently work Part-Time and my schedule for school is online this semester! I have plenty of time in my schedule for pet care and services. I will take good care of your furry friends! I will make sure there is plenty of enrichment. I will also have consistent potty breaks, feeding, and watering.

“Victoria was fantastic! We had a very unique request for our dog Stella and Victoria never hesitated. She was prompt to respond and very professional throughout the entire booking. We will definitely use her again in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. whether it’s a senior pup who needs meds and slow strolls or a hyper goofball who loves to fetch for hours. I treat every dog like my own: with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs. What sets me apart? I pay attention to the little things like quirky habits, favorite nap spots, or that weird way your dog likes their toy thrown. I’m reliable, quick to communicate, and genuinely love hanging out with dogs (sometimes more than people, if we’re being honest). Whether it’s a quick walk or a weekend stay, your pup will get 100% of my care and attention. I am a PhD student at USM. I’m currently teaching and taking classes online for the summer so I have a lot of free time and flexibility. Once school starts I’ll still be pretty flexible When I care for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walk routines, or favorite toys and I make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and heard (yes, I talk to them like they’re people). I treat your home with the same respect I’d want for mine: clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I also provide regular updates so you always know your pup is happy and in good hands. Your dog gets my full attention, every visit.

About: I have had pets my entire life. I love dogs and I have two of my own. I can give your babies medicine when needed or assistance when going up and down stairs. I currently am in college so I can care for your fur baby any day after 3 pm.I would love to get to care for your babies. We have a fenced in dog park and I can crate your babies if needed. They will have plenty of space to play and run.

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: I’ve taken care of family dogs since I was 8. I have helped train dogs from puppy age to do basic commands as well as crate train. I’m currently a full time graduate student but I have online classes so in the mornings and evenings I have plenty of time to care for your pets. With my personal pet and others I ensure there is a harness and leash available for walks to make it safer and easier for me and the pet.

“Mackenzie was amazing. We have three medium to large size dogs, and she took great care of them. Her communication was perfect, she was immediately responsive virtually every time we reached out. We definitely plan to hire her again.”


About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I started seriously taking responsibility on my dogs at 16 years old. I know how to walk, play, bathe, feed, etc. I am a graduate college student with a light work load and a flexible work schedule, so working with pets fits into my schedule perfectly. I pay close attention to my dogs at home to prevent injuries or harm which will also apply to your pup! I don’t rush the pups on their walk & enjoy spending the time outside with them.

About: I have great experience with dogs, I have one on my own and I understand the unconditional love that is shared between them. I would love to watch your furbaby! I’m currently in season for ULM basketball but check in with me for availability! As I mentioned I have a dog on my own so I can make time. I don’t have a fenced yard but, I have play areas where I can take your furbaby and we can have a great time. I have 2yr old Long-haired German Shepherd that is a friendly butterfly and play so well with other dogs, if your dog doesn’t get along with other dogs I can have mines put up at my neighbors home.

About: I have the sweetest rescue pitbull who i found two years ago on the side of the highway after she got hit by a car. Poor baby was all skin and bones, had been starved and abused, and only could walk on 3 legs. Now, she’s gained 25 pounds, got fixed and vaccinated, and can walk on all legs. Now she’s my emotional support animal! She’s a total sweetheart and my best friend- even cuddles me to sleep every night :) I have actually been able to teach her how to sit, shake, and stay! Growing up my family had 4 dogs and 4 cats all of my life, so I was responsible for walking, feeding, cleaning up messes, and playing with them! I’m an online college student so i can be very flexible when it comes to scheduling and daily/weekly routines. i also have a great dog park at my complex When I am in someone’s house while pet sitting, I treat every home like it has security cameras. I’m very respectful of boundaries and safety. After feeding/walking/playing, I tidy up anything left out or any other messes. I am very friendly and have never had an animal react badly towards me.

About: Animals are genuinely my passion, hence why I’m going to school to work with them full time; I used to want to be a Veterinarian, but my life path has since changed because of my internship at the NEW Zoo in Green Bay. I've always had a soft spot for dogs and furry creatures of all sorts, but growing up outside I fell in love the scaly, slimy, and six legged friends as well. I had a few reptiles growing up and currently own a mildly venomous snake, so I thought a Zookeeper might be more my path; working with exotic animals is definitely my dream! I just graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Animal Science with a companion animal emphasis, meaning the pets we have in our homes is what I specialize in! I worked on and off at a dog day care in De Pere, WI for three years, along with personally owning small breeds to extra-large breeds, I believe I'm quite knowledgeable in the pet world! My roommate's and cousin's dogs know me as the "toy person" because I'm always there to have a good time. I also have and adore cats, along with any pet for that matter! Animals are what makes MY world go round and I don’t know where I’d be without them, I love all animals! The job market is insane right now, and no matter how many jobs I apply to they always find someone else to fill the position or never respond in the first place, so my schedule is WIDE OPEN! Whatever you need me to do I will! I love being outside, so walks, the dog park, just hanging out or even hiking can all be accomplished. I’m trained in nail trimming (including cats and larger rodents) and any basic grooming needs, like baths and teeth brushing, so I can do those as well! I love to just play with animals, so give me a dog or cat toy and I’ll sit in the floor with them for hours. And whatever schedule you feed/ have bathroom breaks/ walk your animals on I can guarantee I will stick to that schedule!

About: Experienced in caring for different breeds and ages of dogs. Knowledgeable on different breed characteristics to help assist with providing quality care and social engagement. Experienced in caring for cats as well. Skills include feeding, watering, walking, running, providing grooming like washing and brushing. I am currently not working as I pursuing educational advancement so my schedule is free to help assist pet owners with pet care and services. I am able to safely remove your pet from kennel or crate to allow them to participate in daily activities such as playing bathroom breaks and or meal time. When walking pet will remain leashed at all time to secure their safety. Will provide adequate hydration before and after any activities.

About: I’ve Been around Dogs for most of my life. From my dogs to my neighbors and friends dogs. I have a very strong passion for animals because of it. I’m mostly home with my pets.. So I asked my self why shouldn’t I make a job out of something I enjoy and already do. I will enjoy getting to spend time with ur fur babies. I look forwards to meeting each and everyone of you. Lmk if you have any questions regarding my services.

Gabriela W.
“Gabriela (aka Gabby) is a wonderful person. I hired her to watch my three dogs for 6 days. She spent the night at our house, she followed all the crazy instructions I left her, and my dogs trusted her and loved her. She took my puppies for a walk everyday, when one of them was too scared to eat from his bowl, Gabby fed him from her hands just to make sure he eats. She was also very patient with our senior dog who preferred to go outside through one specific door. I fully trust Gabby with my fur babies and I definitely recommend her to everyone. Go Gabby!”

Emily K.
“Emily would be a wonderful addition to your pet caregiver company! She took care of our sweet Champ every time we were out of town. We are very last minute people and she was always flexible and willing to put Champ on her schedule priority. One think I loved about Emily taking care of Champ is that she took time to play with him. He had some anxiety and she was always sweet to him. Another example of her love for animals is that I called her in a panic one evening, very late to help me with Champ. My husband was out of town and champ had a seizure. He was bleeding from his mouth and I couldn’t hold him and look in his mouth at the same time. She came right over and not only calmly helped him, she was so reassuring to me! I hope you consider adding Emily to your employment team! She is kind, dependable, flexible and has a heart for pets!”

“Lauryn has sat with my three English bulldogs numerous times and has taken exceptional care of them from making sure they take their pills to keeping my house free from poop and pee.

Chloe A.
“Chloe has had a loving connection to animals her entire life with her first dog being a pit Bull. Chloe is currently attending college in the Pre-Veterinary program to fulfill the dream she had had since 5 years old to become a Veterinarian. Chloe has cared for her own pets through her life including: 3 dogs, 2 cats, 1 bird, 2 Guinea pigs, 2 hamsters, 2 geckos, and many fish. She also worked at Sit & Stay Pet Resort while in high school which she loved. In my opinion Chloe knows more about animals than most people because she does her research on each pet before she decides to add them to her home. She is a 4.0 student studying to be a Vet because animals are her passion. Chloe would make an incredible Rover team member!! Thank you.”
