“Jo is amazing, she always takes the initiative to reach out just before the time she begins and follows up to be sure we made it home so as not to leave the fur babies uncared for. She also deals with our Aussie Shepard super well, she can be a handful at times and does so with such kindness. We love knowing our kids are being taken such good care of while we travel!”
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 south Mississippi :) When school starts I can still board or sit your pet as long as they are OK during the workday as I am a teacher. 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: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands on experience caring for pets for over 10 years. I’ve personally raised and cared for dogs and cats through every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing special attention. I know how important routine, patience, and genuine love are for keeping pets happy and stress free while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, and I’m confident in handling everything from daily walks and feeding to medication and cuddles. My home is a calm, safe space where your pet will be cared for with the same attention I give my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am home throughout the day, which means your pet will never be left alone for long. I’m able to provide consistent care, regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. My daily routine is already centered around caring for others, so adding your pet to our home feels natural and seamless. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch or sticking to a specific feeding schedule, I have the time and attentiveness to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide a loving, safe, and structured environment where every pet feels like part of the family. From the moment your pet arrives, I focus on creating a calm atmosphere that respects their individual needs and personality. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to reduce stress and help them feel comfortable away from home. My home is pet proofed and cozy, with plenty of space for exploration and relaxation. I offer lots of affection, gentle encouragement, and supervised socialization when appropriate. Whether your pet needs active play or quiet cuddles, I’m attentive and responsive to their signals. Above all, I treat each pet as I would my own—with patience, kindness, and respect—making sure they are safe, happy, and well cared for every minute they’re with me.
“We are on vacation and had Laurie come over and meet our rescue dogs before her visit. The dogs immediately felt at ease with her and provided us comfort to leave them. I would reccomend Laurie for any of your needs through Rover. Thanks again!”
About: I've been taking care of animals since i was a child. As a professional, I have over eight years of animal boarding and dog training experience. I have experience in animal bathing, and administering medications for both cats and dogs. I love working with young animals, but i adore senior pets the most. I would love to take care of your baby! If you are interested in dog training just let me know. I'm experienced in balanced-dog training and have trained over a hundred dogs through housecalls and group classes. For a typical day, it's potty breaks and breakfast first thing in the morning. If I don't have any housecalls, I'll be home with your pet. Your pet will get potty breaks every 1.5 hours on minimum until their last potty break at 8 p.m. Your pet will get 2 walks a day either around your neighborhood or at a dog park. If I do have housecalls to attend to, my work day will cut short so your pet won't be alone for too long. If I'm doing a dog training housecall, the lesson is typically one hour. We will go over one or two commands at a time and we will train the dog until i feel that the client and dog have a good understanding of what's going on. I can usually cover over basic obedience in eight lessons. I try to schedule these lessons once every week, but its all based on the clients schedule. I never let your out of my sight while their are in my care. The only times I would ever leave pet would be to go to housecalls or gather supplies. I will take your pet on walks, training practice and provide them with a bath if you ask me or if they get too dirty while in my care.
About: I have had dogs most of my life. I had my Lola 14 years. She was my travel buddy and my best friend. We swam in the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Mediterranean. I have no problem with breed, I have been around many breeds and have love for all of them. I play music 2-3 nights per week and work from home, so I can do lots of potty breaks and walks throughout the day. Also, able to give medications throughout the day. I have had well trained dogs and love working with them. I will take good care of your puppies and rub your older dogs hips. 😊 I work weekend nights playing music. I do voiceover work from home. I wake up early I have a very open schedule and am available anytime. We have three cats where I live. I play with them and they wait outside my door every morning. They love me because I’m allergic. 😃 I like breaking up the day, so we will all have lots of walks and play time. I am detail oriented and will follow your instructions while loving your fur babies like my own.
About: Cat’s and dogs have always been a big part of my life. I genuinely cannot remember a time where there wasn’t some kind of animal at home. I have experience with pits puppies and kittens. I love to go on long, fun walks! My favorite part is getting to play with your animal and show them affection. I love seeing how far I can build my relationship with your pet, and eventually be considered for regular drop ins/walks! Im currently working a seasonal summer job. So, my schedule is pretty flexible, primarily most of my weekdays will be open. We could always work something out to fit each others schedules! I’m passionate about making sure your baby feels safe in my company. I put a lot of effort to build a loving and caring relationship based on trust. I, myself have an anxious kitty at home. So I understand the time and patience it takes to get your pet used to a new person/routine.
About: I work as an adoptions counselor at the Humane Society full time. I walk, clean, and work with dogs and cats daily! I have dog sitting experience as well! I genuinely love animals and I’m not opposed to any breed of dog or cat. Your animals couldn’t be in better hands. I work full time at an animal shelter. We walk and clean up after dogs daily. I work with cats as well. I’ve dog sat for 2 families before moving to another city. Since working with animals, I know how to spot different behaviors and learn how to control tough situations if something happens. I know how to properly clean after them and how to give them medicine if needed.
“Grace did an amazing job with our 2 crazy dogs, we were super nervous because we’ve used the same dog sitter for 10 years so this was the first time leaving our dogs with somebody we didn’t know but she put us at ease. She done an amazing job. Dogs are healthy. Hopefully we’ll be able to use her every time we need a dog sitter.”

About: I've always loved animals. Went many years without a dog but took I a 8 year old dog last year who was being gotten rid of and my world changed. I love him with all my might. I would love to spend time with other animals as well. I want to focus on weekend boarding. Very home bodied so your pet will be with me 90 percent of the time and have little time alone. Want to give them a good experience while you are away. I do not have a yard but we take frequent trips outside and to the dog park where I live at through out the day. We spend most of our free time on the couch cuddling!
“Alexis is a gem! She did a fabulous job during her drop in visits with my two cats. She even managed to bond with my very shy and skittish cat, Jane. So much so she was able to sit next to Jane and pet her. Alexis is a legitimate cat whisperer!”
“She was great with my two girls! She was very gentle and patient with my nervous dog and won her over fast! Madeleine sent pictures and gave updates during her visit. We will be using her from now on! My girls loved her.”
“Not everyone signs on to work on Christmas but Gabby did and we were appreciative. The girls (dogs) were happy when we returned but not stressed or anxious so we knew they were comfortable with Gabby being there for them. We had medicine to administer and Bailey got hers right on time. We are thankful to have found Gabby!”
“Nicole was wonderful. I needed last minute assistance for my pup and she had no issues working within my short timeline. She did a meet and greet the next day. And kept me posted while I was gone. Even made a special trip to ensure my pup was taken care of. Will be using her again for sure!”
About: I have experience working at a doggy daycare. I have been taking in strays, caring for them and finding them loving homes about 10 years. Friends and family rely on me to care for their animals when they are out of town. I am patient, gentle, and these hands never get tired of giving ear scratches and throwing toys. I also have friends that are dog trainers. Currently working part time so I have plenty of time your pets. I can tend to special needs dogs, and can stop by for multiple potty breaks through the day I live in a house and have a fenced in back yard. if they bark a lot they won’t be disturbing anyone. I also have a roommate that loves dogs so they will get plenty of attention.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ocean Springs
We had a wonderful experience with Aramy over the weekend. She cared for our two cats and dog through several drop-in visits each day, and everything went smoothly. Her communication was thoughtful and frequent—she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was also consistently punctual and clearly attentive to our pets’ needs. We returned home to happy animals and a house just as we left it. I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. 🐾

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
