“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!”

“Jo was very flexible with managing my dates when there were last minute changes. I never had to worry about my pet while I was away knowing she was in great hands!”

“Shannon did a fantastic job checking in on our old dog while we were away for the night. Our dog is old and can sometimes be a little standoffish, and she made sure to come by while we were home so that she could meet him and get to know him a little bit before we left, which was so awesome. Thanks again, Shannon!”

“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.”

“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 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’ve taken care of a wide range of animals, including my own cats and dogs. I am happy to take care of dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I will provide the highest level of care and tailor my care to meet your pet’s needs. I love going for runs and hikes so would be happy to give your dog an energizing workout. If your pet is nervous or shy I am very patient and will make sure they are comfortable. I have always loved all animals, so much so that I became a wildlife biologist and have studied/worked with everything from birds to bats to desert tortoises and other reptiles. I currently live with an especially cute dog who I care for whenever I am needed. I so look forward to taking care of your treasured pets and will treat them as my own I am available evenings and weekends for house/petsitting. I am a graduate student so have classes/work during the day from 8:30-4:30. With my schedule I will care for/walk/feed your pets in the morning before I go to work and in the evening when I get home. However, my schedule is somewhat flexible and I can check in on your pets during the day if needed. I will take your dog on a multitude of potty breaks and give at least two solid walks during the day for overnight care. I will follow any specific instructions to a t, as I am very detail oriented. My home is an apartment which does not have a fenced in yard, however I would be able to take your pet for frequent walks. I also have a dog in my home which is friendly to other dogs and cats.
“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 been taking care of animals since i was a child. As a professional, I have over six 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.
“Absolutely fantastic sitter. Danielle went out of her way to accommodate my schedule and was flexible with last minute adjustments. I’ve used multiple sitters on this app and Danielle G. is the best of them.”
“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.”

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 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.

Pet 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. 🐾

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 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.
