House Sitting in Oktoc

“Sweet, friendly, and super great with the pups!”

“Christine was lovely. I have a geriatric dog who had not been left home before and was very high stress and not friendly at times. Christine mitigated my pets boundaries and the tasks I needed her to do with grace while still updating me with photos and reassuring me that everything was going smoothly. She has a true love for animals and her patience is a virtue and I would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve loved and have been taken care of animals since I was a kid. Also I am currently attending school to specialize in animals behavior. I am currently working a part time job, so I have more than enough time on my hands to fit pit sitting in my schedule. I am very attentive to the pets at all time. I also make sure that anything that could possibly harm them isn’t in their vicinity.

“Mary was AMAZING!! She hung out and played with our dogs and sent lots of pictures! She kept me updated on everything that happened! She not only took good care of our dogs but good care of our house while she stayed! I HIGHLY recommend Mary for all your pet needs!(:”

“Austin did a fantastic job! We were gone for 12 days, and he took care of our dog, cat, and the house. We have an Australian Cattle Dog (red heeler), and he can sometimes be really annoying. This was one of the very few times we were on vacation and didn't have to worry about how things were going at home. Austin handled it all. And, when we got back, he had laundered the towels, cleaned the old food out of the fridge, and the house was in good order. Highly recommend Austin. We were very pleased.”

“Chloe was awesome! She took great care of 4 dogs in my home when my boyfriend and I were out of town for work. She drove over for a meet and greet before as well. The communication and updates were great!”

About: I’ve had a family dog for over 6 years and have helped to train her and take care of her! I also have dog sat for neighbors and friends all throughout high-school and a few times so far in college! I’m currently in school but my schedule does allow for daily drop-ins or staying overnight! I would love to be able to accommodate requests to the best of my abilities! Anything that is asked of a pet parent I am willing to do for the care of your animal! I can take walks, simply check in with your pet, or stay overnight if you’re away!

About: I have two years of experience working as a kennel tech where I was taught how to Give oral medication, and I have vet tech training assisting a vet in examination procedures, surgery prep, surgery recovery. In October of this year, I will have two years of dog grooming experience with a variety of small to large dog breeds including older, blind, and deaf dogs. I love being outside and I work out regularly so I can keep up with your fur babies. I am currently a dog groomer so my work days vary in time depending on how many dogs are scheduled that day so pet sitting is something I enjoy doing on the side during the evenings and weekends. In my home I have a feeding scheduled that I follow for my own pets. My senior cat gets a special cat food for his life stage. I have two boxes of toys for easy access, my vets number is on my fridge, and I have leash and harness trainined one of my cats for when they want to go outside to get some sunshine. In a clients home I follow there instructions for time outside, walks, and feeding. Otherwise I give there pets lots of love and make sure to clean up after them like I would my own. I love cuddles and playtime.

About: I’ve had a wide variety of animals since I was young. I’ve had birds, cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters and all kinds of other things. I had to take care of puppies so walking dogs or trying to keep up with their pottying is no problem i am currently fully available to care for any and all animals. i have had a big opening in my schedule and can’t wait to get back into taking care of animals. i currently have three cats and two dogs. all of my animals are up to date on shots and medicines. All of my animals are fed in the morning and before bed. they get outside time every three hours for potting and exercise.

“Payton was good at communicating and was able to give our 100lb dog medication 2x a day. He stayed the night with our babies and took great care of them. I would recommend him and use his services again.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. They are an absolute joy. Friends have trusted me to look after their pets many times, and their pets absolutely adore me just as much as I adore them. I believe in giving pets ample love and attention, as well as activities so they get exercise and they're not bored. I do not work my full-time job on weekends, which gives me the opportunity to give my undivided attention to your fur baby. Although I work during the week, I will take breaks to check in on your pets and allow them to take potty breaks. I am happy to have dogs in my home, or keep them company at your your home. I will keep them active by going on walks and visiting the dog park, if that is something you think they would enjoy. I do not have children or other pets, so your pet will be 100% safe.

“Sara took excellent care of our pets! She is a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend her. She spent lots of time getting to know our anxious dog and this greatly increased his comfort. Sara also was so flexible and accommodating when our travel plans unexpectedly changed.”

About: Hello! I have been a volunteer with the Humane Society since 2018 and have experience doing all sorts of things! I have overseen meet and greets with new owners, fed/watered dogs on a schedule, cleaned yards, walked dogs, watched over playtime in the yards with multiple dogs, dealt with puppies, trained puppies, handled senior dogs, and handled cats as well. I went through orientation and training in order to be in this position at the shelter, so I have a good understanding of animal behavior and treatment. I also have two dogs of my own back at home and have been around dogs my whole life. (I’m okay with snakes too, I’ve had one of my own). I have been a pet sitter for family friends as well and have been told that they love the way I care for their babies! I am an avid animal lover and plan to become a veterinary surgeon. I am currently at Mississippi State University in the pre-vet concentration of my animal and dairy sciences major! I am home from college for the summer, so my schedule is super open! I work part-time and shifts are only about 4 hours, so that leaves me plenty of time to give your pets the quality time that they deserve! I will be very dedicated to giving your fur babies the best care possible. My own dog is super active and she gets walked for an hour in the mornings, another shorter walk mid-day (weather permitting), and then another hour long walk in the evenings with plenty of play time in between! I will send daily updates and photos if you are away from home and I am doing drop in visits! I know that when pet parents are away, pets can become lonely and feel left out but I am here to make sure that they have fun and have a happy time! I have such a great passion for helping pets and will treat your babies like they’re my own!

“Anna did a wonderful job with Kimmie. I definitely recommend her to watch your pup.”

“Britney was the best sitter I could ever ask for! She was on top of any issues that came up acting promptly when my pup wasn’t eating while I was away. She gave me peace of mind while on vacation which was exactly what I needed! Thank you, Britney!!”

“Ava spent 10 days at our home and did a great job taking care of bogey as well as our home. She was very proactive with communicating with us and sending pictures so we had no worries about bogey while we were gone. She also took him to his favorite place the dog park a lot so we know he was happy and having a good time. She paid a lot of attention to detail during our meet and greet so she was well prepared and didn’t have to ask any questions while we were gone. We will definitely use her again the next time we go out of town. Thank you Ava!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, and have looked after multiple dogs at once on several occasions. I am a lover of all animals and have always had several pets growing up. I have two cats at home and love them like my own children. I work part time so I have plenty of time to set aside for sitting and walking, and I have a flexible schedule than can easily be altered. I always make sure to keep a close eye on animals when they are having outside time and make sure they are in a safe and comfortable environment.

About: Dogs have been in my life since I was born and it has shaped my love for animals tremendously. I treat dogs like my own family even if they aren’t my own! Dogs hold the happiness in my heart and every dog I have taken care of holds the most special place in my heart. I am currently in the Vet Tech program at Mississippi State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine therefore I am learning and helping animals daily! I am in class from 8-12 on weekdays during Summer 2025! I will ALWAYS be sure to keep your fur babies safe and sound while they are in my care! I will respect your home at all times no matter the circumstances.
