“Malia was wonderful. She did such a great job house sitting for our cat. She played with her everyday and gave her extra attention while we were gone. Her daily updates gave us such piece of mind while we were away. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our baby was in good hands. We would definitely use Malia again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Haley did an amazing job watching our girl. This was the first time in a long time that we had to go some where without Patsy and we felt so comfortable leaving her with Haley. We will definitely re-book with her.”
“She has gone above and beyond every time we have used her to take care of our dog. She has taken him walking extra and stayed in communication with us on his care with pictures. She is excellent and we will use her again very soon.”
“We would give Davey 8 stars if possible. He went above and beyond in caring for MILA and our home. They were perfectly matched and Davey was able to intertwine his work with providing excellent care and attention. We will choose Davey every time when available to love on our dog.”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From growing up with cats and dogs to spending the last four years working with an animal rescue, caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s what drives me. I’ve helped care for rescue animals and pets of all personalities and needs. My goal is always the same: to make every animal feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. I'm currently working part time. I can be available in the mornings before 8am and most afternoons after 4pm. My working days change, but I am happy to fit what is needed in my schedule. I have a fenced in yard. I do have two friendly dogs whome are kenneled off and on, and 2 cats. I also foster and help care of others animals in their homes and sometimes in mine for periods of time.
“Liz was awesome! She took great care of our 3 fur babies! We contacted her with little notice and she was so accommodating and willing to travel to help us out! She was awesome! I would definitely recommend her!”
“Pamela is so good with our high maintenance doggos. She gets their energy out with a walk every day and hangs out with them throughout the day. Couldn’t ask for anyone better to take care of our fur babies. We know they are taken care of”
“Krystal was lovely and took good care of our Louie. Louie was excited to see her and that just tells you so much about a person. She sent us pictures and text messages to let us know how he was doing while we were away, which I really appreciated. We were traveling through Gulfport and she stayed in our camper with Louie allowing us to do some site seeing without having to worry about him being left alone. Don’t hesitate to book her if she is available.”
About: I am a full time and personally insured pet sitter with experience caring for senior, neonatal, disabled, medicated, and even show animals. There is no pet I can't care for, no matter how large or small! I am a full time pet sitter, so I can work my schedule around any time needs you may have. Whether it be time sensitive medications, mid-day drop ins, or something else, I can accommodate it. I offer pet sitting in your home. This can be daily walks, drop ins, or even overnight care. Your pet will be able to follow their normal routine in the comfort of their own home.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including walking, feeding, and giving plenty of attention and love. I’ve also helped neighbors by dog-sitting and walking their pups when needed. I’m patient, reliable, and excited to care for your furry family member! I trained my dog Beau from puppyhood, so I’m familiar with basic commands, house training, and patience needed for young dogs. I’m also comfortable providing gentle care for senior dogs, including help with medication and slower-paced walks. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. On weekdays, I’m available early mornings (5:00–6:30 a.m.) and evenings after 4:30 p.m. I have mostly open availability on weekends and can provide flexible care then. I live in an apartment, so dogs in my care get regular walks and lots of attention. I walk my own dog, Beau, daily and often take him to the dog park for exercise and enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to help pets feel safe and secure. I respect their space, follow all instructions, and make sure pets are comfortable and cared for. I’m always mindful of leash safety, locked doors, and keeping a calm, pet-friendly environment. Owners can trust that I’ll treat their pets and homes with the same care I give my own.
“Holi-Nicol was great! We had to make a last minute booking due to an out of town funeral. She responded quickly and set up a meet and greet for the next day. She was great with our three dogs, and kept us updated with pictures. The dogs loved her, and we will definitely be using her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a current veterinary technician with years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes and personalities. Working in a veterinary clinic has given me strong skills in handling pets safely, recognizing signs of illness, and keeping animals calm and comfortable. Whether your pet is young and energetic or older and needs extra care, I’m confident and comfortable meeting their needs. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I work full days Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, so I’m available for early morning, evening, and nighttime care on those days. I’m completely off on Tuesdays and weekends, which allows for full-day availability, longer visits, or overnight stays. On Fridays, I’m available after 2 PM for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. I’m great at planning my schedule ahead of time to make sure every pet gets the attention, consistency, and care they need. I will not be accepting pets in my own home at this time, as I have two kittens of my own in a small apartment! I just wouldn’t have much space to bring in a pet, and for everyone’s safety, I don’t want to introduce a new pet and risk anything happening. I can do anything you require! From walks, to medication administration, I’m well versed in everything! I’m also okay with spending the night at a clients home, to make sure your babies don’t get lonely!
About: I have been caring for animals for many years and have experience with dogs of various sizes, ages, and temperaments and cats as well. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable to care for your pets while you're away. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, administering basic medications, providing companionship, and maintaining established routines. I have experience caring for both small and large dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions. I am attentive to each pet's individual needs and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. As an educator and professional, I am responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to clear communication. I will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are receiving excellent care. I have a completely open schedule in the summer besides the odd voice lesson and a church job on Sunday mornings that would have me gone for 2-3 hours at most. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I am committed to following your instructions carefully to ensure they receive the best possible care. I strive to create a calm, positive, and trustworthy environment where pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away. I believe in clear communication and will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. I am attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels and will promptly communicate any concerns. Whether caring for your pet in your home or during walks and visits, I will treat them with the same kindness, patience, and respect that I give my own animals.
“Danielle was very attentive to my Sophie. She left the house exactly like she found it. She went above and beyond by taking out her garbage and bringing in my mail. Danielle is very pleasant to work with. She is quick to respond to texts. She isn’t afraid to ask questions if she needs to. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future.”
About: I love dogs of all kinds. I understand the seperation anxiety a dog can experience when their owners are away and will do everything I can to make them feel comfortable. I don't have any children in the house but lots of toys for the four legged babies to play with. My house is very dog friendly with cushie pillows and dogs beds to snuggle in. I provide fleece blankets for the dogs to lay on if they're not comfortable on the pillows or dog beds. Even with a huge fenced backyard, I will always go out with the dogs to play with them and make sure they stay safe. I have two dogs of my own to keep you dog company. Your dog will feel lots of love until you return.
About: I enjoy spending time with all types of animals. I can care for horses, reptiles, birds, fish, and rodents and other exotic animals. I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in trauma. Currently I am wanting to make pet care full time while I am enrolled in continued training for my career. I will have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I have a small house with my pet so it would be better for me to care for your pet at your home. I am willing to bring them to my home if needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mississippi City
Haley gave our pets her special and undivided attention, keeping us informed and notified of details, making sure we were at ease the entire duration of our absence. This was the first time we left our 1 1/2 year old boxer, and we chose Haley based on her interesting profile and many reviews. She will definitely be our "go to", when it comes to leaving our pets. We'd recommend Haley, ANYDAY!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mississippi City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mississippi City on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 133 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mississippi City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Mississippi City walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Mississippi City maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mississippi City choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.
