“Lindsey was more than amazing! She stuck to the schedule, was on time and never missed a photo update of Olenna! You’re missing out by not choosing her to watch your fur babies!”
About: I have always loved animals and have grown up caring for pets of my own. For the past four years, I have provided pet care for friends, family, and neighbors, gaining experience caring for dogs with a large variety of needs and temperaments. I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust with your pet, and I work hard to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved, as if they were my own! I’m a current college student home for the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am available Monday through Sunday and can be flexible to fit your scheduling needs. Whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I look forward to providing reliable, attentive care for your pet while you're away! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for your pets to play and explore safely! I do not have any animals of my own currently, allowing me to give my full attention to your pet during their stay. I always follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, routines, and any special needs to help pets feel as comfortable and secure as possible. My goal is to provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where your pet feels right at home!
About: I am a stay at home mom and I have experience with all types of dogs. Large, and small. I've been taking care of dogs my entire life. I've even fostered week old puppies. I've volunteered at my local shelter with dogs. I've always loved dogs and other animals. I am a stay at home mom, so i'm home all day. My schedule is always wide open so im able to care for your pets whenever you need. I am not currently accepting boarding at my home, but I will check on your pets inside your home as well as taking them for walks!
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.
“Shannon's been to walk Hap twice. Each time she is attentive, a brisk walker, asks relevant questions, and leaves him with a warm-hearted pat. My second dog allows her to pet him and we are working towards him following her out the door to the back yard. Shannon is very patient with him. She was punctual and cheery. I feel confident in her with my dogs. 5 Stars!”
“Second time Jayme walked my pups! She’s so sweet with them and very loveable. One of them made a mess and she was happy to help which I greatly appreciate it! You’re amazing!”
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 🐾 ❤️
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 5. I’ve lived with other dogs and cats since, but I currently live with just one dog that I frequently play with. I’m currently working part time and hope to work with dogs/ cats in my spare time. I particularly like dog walking/ checking up on as I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have a fenced in yard and take my dog on walks on occasion. I also enjoy playing in the backyard with my dog with bubbles and some balls.
“Aubrey was so wonderful! She came to my home to walk my dog and play with him the week of Thanksgiving. She was cordial, friendly, would communicate promptly and send updates when needed. I’m very thankful I chose her to help with my lab! I could also tell that she really cared for animals and loved taking care of my boy. Thank you Aubrey!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’ve been entrusted by numerous family members and friends to take care of their pets over the years! I am retired and home all the time, so caring for any type of animal is easy for me. I’m available to come to your home, or they can come to mine! I have a fenced in yard, and they will not be left outside alone at any time whether they are at at your home or mine.
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 wonderful. She has a great personality - very easy going with a great sense of humor! It was a joy working with her. Mia loved her! Elizabeth has a sincere love for animals and was very attentive and caring to Mia. Elizabeth is the best!!!!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, caring for dogs and cats and small animals. This lifelong experience has given me a natural ability to understand and connect with pets. I’m currently raising a Bernedoodle rescue, so I’m especially mindful of providing patient, consistent, and loving care tailored to each pet. I’m currently seeking part-time work, which allows me to be very flexible with my schedule. I would truly enjoy caring for and spending quality time with your pet. I’ve been around dogs, cats, and small animals my entire life so I’m very comfortable caring for a variety of pets. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and loved sticking to their normal routine, while also keeping your home clean, secure, and well cared for.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Ocean Springs on Rover is $16.05 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 235 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ocean Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Ocean Springs. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Ocean Springs.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ocean Springs. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
