About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Before getting a dog of my own, I spent a year working with a pet sitting company, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and care needs. Now, my dog Miller is my whole world, and I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pets like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just extra love and attention, I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have another job however your pets are still my priority. I think we can definitely work something out to make sure your pets get the care they need. My dog Miller is a huge part of my life, and I take his care seriously, from regular exercise and attention to making homemade meals to keep him healthy and happy. I also travel often for work, and Miller comes with me whenever possible, so I understand the importance of routine, companionship, and making pets feel included and comfortable no matter the environment. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home.
About: My mother used to bred dogs & have multiple horses and goats. I was always involved in the animal care & never skipped a chance to get some snuggles! I currently have a pittie whom has been with me for the past 8 years. I work remotely, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! My work schedule is super flexible, so I’m available at call! I have a large yard that my friendly pittie loves to get her zoomies out in! I also have a kennel if needed/preferred for your baby!
“Grady went above and beyond to ensure our pup was well taken care of. His punctual, friendly, thoughtful, and communicative approach provided us with added peace of mind while we were away. Would recommend!”

“Danielle was amazing with our fur babies and treated them like her own! Paisley is a pretty vocal dog and whines a lot and when she couldn’t quite figure it out, she reached out which I appreciated since that means she was actually listening to her. Would not hesitate to book with her again if she’s available.”

“Jennifer was great with my furbabies! With this being the first time leaving them ever, I was a nervous Furman, but Jen made it easier. She sent pics and communicated everyday, and I really appreciated the updates. Will use her the next time I have to take a trip.”

About: I've been dog sitting for about 5–6 years and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large breeds, as well as senior dogs. I've also cared for multiple dogs and cats at the same time, so I'm comfortable managing different personalities and routines. My goal is to keep your pets as comfortable as possible while you're away. I typically stay in my clients' homes so their pets can remain in a familiar environment and stick to their normal routine. If house sitting isn't needed, I'm happy to stop by throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I am currently working part time, which gives me the flexibility to stay at clients homes and provide more consistent care for their pets. This allows me to let the dogs out before work, after I get off, and whenever needed throughout the day or night. My boyfriend also stays with me if okay with client and is able to help with pet care , since he typically gets off work before I do and can let the dogs out. I only provide care in my clients’ homes, where I focus on keeping their pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I usually stay in the guest room or on the couch, and I let the dogs sleep with me if that is what they are used to and what their owners are comfortable with. For dogs who sleep in a kennel, I make sure they are safely put away and comfortable in their own space. My goal is to create a calm, familiar environment where pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Elizabeth was amazing! We’ve never left our girls (a Rottweiler and a Yorkie) with anyone before. It has really hampered our ability to go on vacation. The dogs loved her from the very first meeting. She sent us updates and photos everyday which really helped our separation anxiety, lol. The house was well maintained and she watered our plants for us. I would highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

About: I've cared for dogs and cats for over five years, including puppies and pets that need medications. I've worked with all breeds and sizes, and pet parents always compliment me on my reliability, cleanliness, and calm presence. I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Because I work online, I'm available every day and can easily adjust my schedule around your pet's needs. I offer overnights, last-minute bookings, and flexible weekend availability. Whether your pet needs frequent walks, playtime, or a consistent routine, I'm able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day. I live in a house with a fully fenced yard and share my home with three energetic dogs and three friendly cats. I can crate your pet if needed and always supervise outdoor time for visiting pets. I use secure leashes and harnesses for walks and closely follow each owner's feeding, medication, and routine instructions to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable.

About: Hi! I’m Adele, a dependable animal lover with experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I know every pet is unique, so I provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Whether your furry family member loves adventures, belly rubs, or a cozy nap on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I am available in every way you need me to care and love your fur babies. I can come to you or in my home. We have a semi fenced in home, but always go outside with pets to ensure safety while in my care. Plenty of room to explore.
“Lauren was great! My dogs don’t like staying at boarding and having them be able to stay at home where they’re comfortable and know there was someone taking care of them made me much less stressed while I was out of town”

About: I love dogs of all kinds. I understand the seperation anxiety a dog can experience when their owners are away and will do everything I can to make them feel comfortable. I don't have any children in the house but lots of toys for the four legged babies to play with. My house is very dog friendly with cushie pillows and dogs beds to snuggle in. I provide fleece blankets for the dogs to lay on if they're not comfortable on the pillows or dog beds. Even with a huge fenced backyard, I will always go out with the dogs to play with them and make sure they stay safe. I have two dogs of my own to keep you dog company. Your dog will feel lots of love until you return.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. For the past 10 years, I've cared for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality. I'm also a pet parent to two cats, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets when you can't be there. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether that means going for walks, playing their favorite game, sticking to their routine, or simply giving them plenty of attention and cuddles. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to give pet parents peace of mind while they're away. I'm a business owner, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work around my clients' needs. This flexibility gives me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care and accommodate a variety of pet sitting requests. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll do my best to follow all of your instructions, prioritize your pet's safety and well-being, and treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I also believe good communication is important, so you can count on regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away.

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets and really enjoy connecting with each one’s unique personality. I’m especially drawn to small- to medium-sized dogs who enjoy both adventures—like hikes or trips to the park—and cozy cuddle time at home. I also love social cats who enjoy attention and interaction. In addition, I have some experience caring for fish and ensuring their environments are clean and healthy. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family alongside my “job” for about 13 years and now my schedule is much more flexible so I’m eager to make this my primary focus. My work schedule fully flexible so I’m able to work around the schedule of the pets. I do like to take dogs on little adventures if they’re allowed so if there’s a hike they love, we’ll be sure to prioritize that in our schedule!
About: I have a love for all animals, as a child growing up I have always wanted to be a Veterinarian Assistant. I began doing foster care for dogs in 2020 after doing this for a while I felt a much greater need to help even more. I began my own dog rescue in 2020. I walk, play, love and care for each animal. I have rescued and rehomed several dogs to safe and loving homes. I treat them as if they were my own. The unbreakable bond between pets and their people is something that will forever warm my heart! I’m currently working part time. I’m available after work and on my off days. Just message me and we can make things work! I’m more than happy to help! I have three fur-babies of my own and they love to run around and play outside, there is 7-acres of land, and the best part is not by any main roads, it’s private. I also walk my dogs or let them play inside with some toys. Depending on your pet and your instructions for your pet, I’ll make sure that your pet and you as well feel comfortable with things. If it’s a client’s home then whatever instructions are given I’ll make sure to go by!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 167 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Picayune. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Picayune walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Picayune maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Picayune choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
