About: I have always had pets of my own my entire life. I am also the go to dog walker, kitty sitter, and fish feeder in my neighborhood. With my medical skills ( with specific instruction from you) I can administer pills and medications as needed. I am highly responsible and will treat your fur babies with much love and follow your routines to keep them happy. I am happy to take them for many walks and play as much ball as they would like:) As a homeowner and pet owner myself. I can appreciate also that leaving your pets in the care of a stranger can be nerve wracking. I will treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I give mine. Since I’m retired, I have the flexibility and availability to give your pets the attention, companionship, and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether your dog loves playtime, walks, cuddles or simply having someone nearby. I will make sure they feel comfortable and cared for as if they were my own. Your pup will be treated like family in my home. I have a large fenced-in yard for safe playtime, they are welcome to my entire home—no being confined to a kennel unless that’s what they are used to and prefer. They will always be treated like one of my own 🐾 ❤️
“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!”
“We requested Jennifer on short notice & she was very friendly and easy to communicate with regarding everything with our drop in visits. Will definitely use her again in the future!!”
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors pets over the past couple of years, as well as my grandmas pets and occasionally family friends and others. I am currently working part-time at a child care facility in the evenings from 3-8pm. For the summer, I am available any day at any time other than those five hours of the evening. Even then, I am not scheduled for work every day. I like to be actively involved in caring for pets, ensuring maximum comfort and security for them! I’m extremely patient, so if your pet needs a bit of warming up first, I will provide that needed space and take things slow.
“Elizabeth was amazing. She was able to come drop in on two of our dogs while we dealt with having to leave for TX for a funeral. It was the 3rd funeral within a month my family was dealing with. Elizabeth was able to come meet the dogs beforehand and they loved her. Very professional and communicative.”
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.
About: Having fostered puppies and cared for multiple senior dogs, I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I can run high-intensity dogs, walk slower ones, bathe them, and give each the love and attention they deserve. I’m home for the summer until the end of August! I have a flexible work schedule so I can fit in your animals at any time of the day! Because I live in an apartment, I give my dog frequent walks and am experienced keeping pets active and stimulated. When caring for a dog in their home, I follow their established routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up in a household with five dogs and three cats, so caring for pets has always been a part of my daily routine. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to person for friends and family whenever they need someone reliable to watch their pets while they’re away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s taking dogs on walks, playing with them, or giving cats the attention and affection they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently serve in the military, which has helped me develop strong responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. While I work during the day, I have the flexibility to stop by during lunch breaks and am available before and after work for visits, walks, feedings, and quality time with your pets. My schedule is generally very open outside of work hours, and I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s needs. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets are well cared for while you’re away Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is always to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. My apartment complex has plenty of walking areas and open space, making it a great environment for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel relaxed and secure while their owner is away. Every pet is different, and I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs, energy levels, and personalities.
About: I have owned cats and dogs my whole life. From raising newborn kittens, to feral cats and shelter dogs, I've made sure that every pet that has come into my life has been well cared for and loved. I will care for your pet in the same manner and help out when life gets hectic and you need to call an extra hand in to help out with animal care! I currently work full-time Monday through Friday. I get off of work around 4:00, and will be available for afternoon walks and care for your pet! I am also available on the weekends as I do not work then. I will respect the home property of my clients and make sure that the place looks as clean, if not cleaner, than it did before they left.
“Jennifer is the sweetest and kindest thing ever! My fur-babies absolutely loved her! She listened to every detail i left to care for my babies! Definitely would recommend her to anyone and I’ll be having her back anytime I need someone!”
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!”
About: I have a lot of experience with handling dogs and pets including feeding, walking, playtime, and high energy or big pets. I’ve been around animals all my life and i’ve always loved them! My goal is to always make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable. I’m currently in nursing school, so my schedule is flexible during the summer! I have plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability to make scheduling easy and reliable. I have a fenced backyard and live right by the beach, so there is plenty of space for safe outdoor playtime and walks. I always prioritize safety, supervision, and making pets feel comfortable.
About: We currently have 2 GSD. Our GSD are high energy and need daily walks, about 2 miles per day. We try to get them to the beach or play fetch 2ith them in the backyard daily. I was let go from my 9 to 5 back in August so I have plenty of time to take care and get to know your pets. Both of our GSDs love other dogs. Our Pug is a senior dog and is blind so he isn't concerned with other animals. He have over a half acre fenced in, so plenty of room for a dog to roam.
About: I can’t think of a better way to spend my time then running, walking, or just playing with your awesome fur baby. As a dog owner myself I have a certain standard I hold those I trust my pups to and expect them to be taken care of properly. You’d never have to worry about your buddy when with me. I’d treat them as part of the family and give them the same amount of love and attention i give my guys. Allergies, anxieties, all of it I’ve dealt with and can make sure your pets needs are met in my care. I can even send photo or text updates to ease your minds when you’re away, within reason. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends. I’m currently a bartender by night but my days are free to spend with your pups. Weather it’s just dropping in to check on them or going on a nice walk around the neighborhood. I have a fenced yard and four adorable dogs of my own. They’re friendly and always on the look out for new friends. If your pup isn’t outgoing then I have no problem sticking to a longer walk or playing in your own yard. Their safety and happiness is my main concern.

Dog 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. 🐾

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ocean Springs stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Ocean Springs 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Ocean Springs with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
