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 recently use the services of Elizabeth, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the start, I was very skeptical about using a dog sitting service, but Elizabeth put me at ease instantly. She is very nice, friendly, and followed instructions meticulously. Not only did I love her, but my mom did too! It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I will definitely book her services again in the future. Highly recommended!

Britt took great care of our two cats, which is no small feat because we have an older lady and a wild boy who are all over the place. She was also a gem in helping me navigate our first booking through Rover. Thank you, Britt!

About: I have always had some sort of pet in my life and have always done extensive research to make sure that I am giving them the best care possible. I am quite good at reading body language as well. I am currently job free and am a full time pet sitter. So anytime you need me, just let me know and I can be there! I have two cats of my own and I make sure they get the best care possible. I make sure they have plenty of enrichment, and give them the best diet I can. I am also hyper vigilant when it comes to looking for potential health problems. I will do the exact same thing with your pets!

About: I love all pets like they are my own. My kids and dog love pets. We love outdoors and would love to give my kids more experience with other animals outside of our own. I am available almost everyday all day long. When I need to run out for usually no more than an hour. I am just a loving pet owner that would like to help bring in additional income while having fun and spending time with my family. I can not wait to meet your dog and love on them. All animals must show proof of vaccinations being up to date. As well as be on flea, tick, and heart worm prevention. I work from home right now with plenty of free time to come to play with your fur babies. I can house sit every other weekend. Willing to come to you or pet whenever needed to assist in all daily activities. Also willing to house sit in your home if needed.

About: A recent graduate of Mississippi State College of Veterinary Medicine with a bachelor's in Veterinary Medical Technology! I have had pets all my life and have gained experience while in school and through volunteering, and now through currently working at a local vet office as a technician. I also have experience in pet sitting at owner's houses and through repeat clientele for pet sitting and walking. I would love to gain additional experience through pet sitting/walking. I recently graduated from the Vet Tech program at MSU and currently work at a local vet office, so this allows me to take care of pets full time on the weekends! I can also do late afternoon walks or drop ins during the weekdays after work! With experience in pet sitting and walking, I’m ready to keep your fur baby entertained or, if they prefer, just relax and give them cuddles!

Repeat customer here. Third time! Once again Paige was great for us and our dog. Duke is 105lbs and can be intimidating. Paige always makes our trips worry free. I know Duke is taken care of back home. He gets more spoiled with extra treats too. I will only use her and highly recommend her. 15 years in the Army and I trust Paige hands down.

About: I’m great at giving medicine, cat and dogs alike, as i’ve done it personally with my own pets and others pets. I’m good at following owner directions and paying attention to certain changes in pets. I’ve never met an animal who hasn’t loved me! I am coming back home from school and will be free anytime someone needs me! I’m more than happy to adjust to last minute plans if someone is in need for a pet sitter. I’m great at following instructions and learning each individual pet and their needs. Family and friends have trusted me to take care of their pets so you can trust me with your fur baby! If a pet needs medication, certain feeding instructions, or specific instructions, I am reliable and willing to help!

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.

About: I grew up around animals in the house and on the farm. I watched a lot of my military friend’s pets while they’re on a deployment or at training. Looking to help other people out! I work full time but have a flexible schedule. I’m available before 8 am, can head out during my lunchtime, and available after 4 pm. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule but I am unavailable one weekend a month due to training. Never hesitate to ask! I have a house with a fenced in backyard, no other animals living with me or friends/family. Super flexible and willing to adapt to what your pet needs.

About: I grew up with 3 dogs at a time, if not more, for most of my life. I’ve had 4 cats. I also grew up with nine goldfish caught from the fair that are all still alive today. I currently have one family dog, one family cat, and nine goldfish. I am a full time student at USM and an active member of the sorority, Delta Delta Delta. I will make this job one of my top priorities. At home, my dog is well trained and she is an outside and inside dog. She loves going on boat rides and we make sure that she gets plenty of love all the time. For clients, I will precisely follow instructions and treat the client’s pet like my own.

Kennedy did such a great job taking care of my cat! She has incredibly flexible hours and sent me a ton of pictures while I was on vacation. I seriously did not worry about my pet while I was away, and am so grateful that I didn't have to put my unusually skittish cat up for boarding for a week. I'd definitely use her again!
