“Shannon took such good care of our girl. Loved seeing the pictures of her playing and cuddling each check in. Also loved the pictures of the food, water, and litter box to see that everything was going alright.”


“Alyssa was amazing! She took excellent care of my kitties, was easy to communicate with, and sent great pictures! My shy little girl warmed up to her very quickly which is very rare and special 🥰. I highly recommend Alyssa to watch your precious fur babies.”


“Jaclan was so wonderful. We have never trusted anyone else to watch our cat before her but will definitely use her again in the future. She went above and beyond to give our cat lots of love while we were away and to send us thorough updates so we didn’t need to worry. We definitely recommend her care!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my extensive hands-on experience and deep passion for animal care. With over 8 years working in an animal shelter and now currently working in an aquarium, I bring a unique blend of knowledge and confidence in handling pets of all types and temperaments. I’m trained in administering both oral and injectable medications, but my skills go far beyond special needs care—I’m also great with active pups, shy cats, senior pets, and everything in between. I pay close attention to detail, maintain clear communication with pet parents, and truly treat every animal like my own. Pet care is a natural and meaningful part of my daily and weekly routine. Whether I’m starting my day with morning check-ins or ending it with evening walks and feedings, caring for animals is something I genuinely look forward to and build my schedule around. I plan my week to ensure I have plenty of time for personalized attention, whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Because I’m already immersed in animal care through my job, providing pet sitting services feels like a seamless extension of what I love to do every day Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my clients’ homes, their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. In my home, I create a calm and welcoming environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and routine. I stick closely to each pet’s normal schedule and habits to make the transition as stress-free as possible. When I care for pets in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and ensure their environment stays clean, familiar, and well-maintained. In both settings, I offer consistent attention, affection, and communication—making sure every pet feels secure, loved, and well-cared for, just like they would with their own family.

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life and have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was 15. I also volunteer regularly at the Humane Society, where I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities — including seniors and pets with special needs. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, especially when caring for senior dogs who may need extra love, slower walks, or medication support. I also have experience with basic training, including leash manners, potty routines, and reinforcing positive behaviors with consistency and care. Animals truly make me the happiest and I’m so excited to start this journey. I treat every pet like family, because that’s exactly what they are. I’m currently a college student at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. I have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 AM – 3 PM, but outside of those times my schedule is fully open and flexible. I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs! I’m committed to giving your pets loving care and a safe, comfortable environment while you’re away. Before sitting, I’ll ask about your dog’s usual schedule, routines, and preferences to make sure they feel right at home. With plenty of playtime, exercise, and personalized attention, your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities.

“Breanna was great, and I would most definitely recommend her for anything related to taking care of your pets. She did drop ins for our cat Simba while we were on family vacation. Breanna was punctual, communicative, and took great care of Simba! Again, a definite recommend.”


About: I've had pets growing up, and consistently pet-sat for the last 4 years. My career (active duty military) doesn't allow me to have my own pets right now, but I'd love to provide services for you and yours! I’m in cyber training at Keesler AFB and work a normal 8-3 M-F with the occasional Friday off. Outside of work, I love long or short walks, pets are allowed on furniture in my house (unless you prefer not to!) , and there are no other pets in my house. I provide loving care depending on your specific pet. If lazy afternoons cuddling on the couch and getting belly scratches are needed, they will be provided. If you have a high energy dog, long walks, enrichment activities, and other play time is available as I am extremely active myself.

“Abbie was amazing at taking care of my kitty while I was away and even made sure to let me know about any changes he had. She even took care and fed the kitties outside for me!”


“Dianna is very good with my senior dog who needs help getting up to go outside. She makes sure he has his potty breaks on time. She sends pics and updates during the visit so I know everything is good with my fur babies. I highly recommend her.”


About: Hi, I’m Jessica! I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life — I currently share my home with two long-haired Chihuahuas, Maya and Stella. I’m a lifelong animal lover with around 40 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes, including friends’ dogs I’ve walked and cared for regularly. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, a calm walk, or just some loving company while you're away, I provide safe, consistent, and compassionate care. I'm especially good with small to medium dogs and gentle large breeds — and I’m mindful of matching a dog’s energy and comfort level, not forcing interaction or stimulation they don’t want. I take pet safety seriously. As someone who has cared for both shy lapdogs and playful larger breeds, I know how important it is to respect boundaries, stick to routines, and ensure every pet feels safe, heard, and happy. *I’m available all day on weekends, and weekdays from 3 PM to 10 PM* I currently own two small dogs and have cared for pets my whole life. I incorporate pet care naturally into my day, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. Whether it’s a quick walk or drop-in visits, I’m reliable and flexible around your schedule. I treat every pet like family, ensuring a clean, safe environment whether in my home or yours. I follow all owner instructions carefully and remain attentive to pets’ needs and behavior. I’m mindful of their comfort and security and always prioritize their well-being.

I’m a full-time teacher, so I am able to check on your fur babies more during my holiday breaks. I would be able to check on your critter at any time during the day. While I am in school, I could care for them before work if needed and/or that afternoon/evening. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide any pet services at my own home.
