“Amazing as always! Elizabeth truly cares about her doggie clients, and she is great with their humans as well. She will always be my first choice when we need a sitter.”

“Britt was extremely accommodating, flexible, and professional. She was very calm and loving with my pups (one of which is anxious and leery). Definitely recommend and will be asking for her help in the future myself.”

“Ashley was wonderful and went above and beyond for our lab, Baron. She came by to meet us before the visits. It is obvious that she cares for animals and Baron took to her right away. Ashley played with Baron in the backyard and send photos showing us what a good time he was having. We will definitely contact her again if we have another trip where Baron can’t come.”

“Cassandra did a great job of taking care of our cat during a trip. That cat warmed up to her relatively quickly and we knew she was getting both food and attention from the pictures Cassandra sent. We will be working with Cassandra again soon.”

About: I've taken care of dogs & cats for as long as I can remember. We keep our pets until they pass that rainbow bridge. I am very reliable and will always send updated photos every time I am with your pet to remind you they are in good hands. I am also experienced with large breeds and the tiniest of pets! Located in Petal, near the Library area 😊 Early mornings before school, or in the evenings are great as well. I usually sit outside with a cup of coffee in the morning so they can run around, then in the evening the door is open with free roam to come in & out. If care is done in my home we have a fenced-in covered fence backyard and two of our own dogs to play with. I also have two playful children who can play fetch for hours! If care is done in your home depending on being watched in a fenced backyard or on a leash. Your dog will be watched and given the attention they deserve.
“I was very hesitant at first about having a pet sitter but Arameus was over the top great! I felt extremely comfortable having him in my house and will definitely be using him again for all my pet sitting needs.”

“Georgia was very sweet with our dogs, she really gave them the Individual attention that they needed. She even went out of her way to be attentive to our cat that was not included to her rover contract. We were so pleased with the love and care she gave to them that we look forward to her care in the future!!!!”

About: I have dog sat for many years now for 3 toy poodles and the occasional Yorkie. I’ve given lots of love, baths, attempted grooming, and given them lessons in Spanish. Not only that, I’ve also owned cats for the better part of 11 years. Currently am not working, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I am available primarily Monday-Friday and can drop in to check on your fur family from 7 AM - 6 PM. I am very punctual in taking dogs outside for potty time and during feeding time. Because I do not have a fenced in yard, I am unable to care for larger dogs. I tend to have many petting sessions and napping sessions with the dogs I care for and will do the same for your furry companions.
“Perfect. I was thrilled my skittish little girl let her pet her. The animals loved her and she did a good job. She even sent me pictures of my angels. Will definitely use her again”

About: Ever since I was little I have loved animals, so much so that when I was 12 I convinced my mother to let me get a dog, despite her fears of them. I raised, trained (haphazardly 😅), and groomed my dog from a puppy to an adult till she died of heart worms. After, I adopted my sister’s dog when she no longer wanted her. Grooming and taking care of her till I went off to college taught me a lot about caring for an older dog. In between dogs and even now I help my friends with their cats, feeding, grooming, and watching over them when their owners are out of town. I have a lot of experience taking care of pets and I am ready to tackle whatever yours may throw at me! I work part time on the weekends with 2 short weekdays, so when I’m not working or at my drum lessons I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets. I can devote hours to walking or sitting. The more time you need the more time I get to spend with your cute fur babies making it a win/win. Typically I like to feed pets around every 3-5 hours, but I am perfectly capable of adhering to any sort of schedule or rules you may have regarding feeding times. Having a fenced in backyard with a porch means that I can let them run around outside to their hearts content whilst still keeping an eye on them. I am extremely flexible so if there are any specifics when it comes to the care of your pet I will have little to no problem sticking to your routine.
About: I’ve been playing, walking, bathing dogs since I was around 11 and I have watched my neighbors dogs since I was 16. I have also trained some of my own pups as well. I’m currently in college but as I’m doing online classes, I can watch your pets whenever I’m needed too. I can watch your pets from anytime to 6 p.m. I’m currently residing in an apartment around the USM campus with plenty of places to walk if needed to. I would rather watch them at your place as my manger won’t allow any pets.
About: Although my family has never owned a dog, I have always loved taking care of my aunts, neighbors, and family friends dogs. I always make sure to pay attention to detail when watching a dog and meet each dogs needs whether that be a walk, playing with a toy, belly rubs, or even just relaxing. As a part-time graduate student at USM, I will have time during the day for a dog walk, or to check-in on your pup! I will be available on most weekends for house and dog sitting. I am available to come to your dog and stay with him/her so they do not have to move out of their comfortable environment and stay at a new space with new people.
About: I have lifelong pet care experience, growing up with dogs and currently having two of my own. I can handle feeding, exercise, and oral medications. I work fully remote since 2021 so that I could be home with my dog (now dogs). I let them run in the yard throughout the day during my lunch and breaks. I have a fenced in yard and my dogs are very friendly. If ever needed, I have crates in home if needed. Your fur babies are allowed on my furniture unless you ask otherwise!
About: Hello! Our names are Genesis and Josh, and we have been surrounded by well-loved fur babies our entire lives! Genesis is well versed in exotic animal care, particularly amphibians and reptiles, and kitty care, while Josh loves all things dog! We have two babies of our own, our cats Gouda and Mirv. Gouda is a special needs kitty who requires a bit of extra care, and Mirv is a sweet boy and a gentle giant. Genesis also cares for exotic pets, and is experienced in cleaning, feeding, and lighting routines! We are students attending the University of Southern Miss, so we are free most any time after 2p.m. during the week, and at any time during the weekend. In our home, we try to go the extra mile in making sure our animals feel loved and cared for. Our cats often get enrichment games that involve treats, and our exotic pets are kept on a consistent cleaning and feeding schedule to ensure healthy brains and full bellies!
