Pet Sitting Poindexter Park

“Our first experience using Rover couldn’t have been better, thanks to Gizelle. She took excellent care of our three cats, sent photos, and left thoughtful updates after each visit. She went above and beyond by flagging that one of our cats was behaving unusually, which prompted us to take him to the vet and address a blockage early. Gizelle is dependable, reliable, and incredibly caring. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in such good hands.”

“She was wonderful. Our cats are unfortunately bad and broke glass and she very kindly cleaned it up and took out the trash for us. She has been super responsive throughout and we couldn’t ask for much more. One hundred percent recommend.”

“Lauren did great with my new puppy while I was away. She sent pictures and updates that gave me a piece of mind so that I could enjoy myself and not worry about Ziggy being alright while I was gone on my day trip. She also left me the sweetest note when I came back!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. From afternoon visits to month-long stays, I’ve done it all. I also have experience caring for elderly and sick animals, including my own when she was diagnosed with cancer. I’m patient and kind towards all animals. I adopted two cats in Sept. of 2024 and adore them so much! I work part time at an ice cream shop in Jackson. I have free time in the mornings and most evenings due to the later shop hours. I’m open to any house sits and will stay with your pet! First off, I remain calm and easy when meeting an animal. If I’m able, I like to leave a belonging of mine so they can get used to my scent! I’m a very laidback person so lounging around the house and going out for a walk with your dog is perfect. I love giving pets and cuddling on the couch.

“Makayla certainly lived up to the hype! She was accommodating, and genuine. Communication was great as well. Blue did not wish to see her go when his stay concluded. I am already looking to book her for upcoming visits!”

About: As an animal lover, I've taken care of multiple animals since high school. The number of animals that where in my care ranged from dogs, cats, reptiles, hamsters, rabbits, etc. I currently have a full time job from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. I am available for check-ins, housesitting, and walks in the morning. I have a small apartment that is great for smaller dogs and cats to roam. I provide toys and have a friendly rabbit to keep them company.

“Melissa was wonderful! She paid attention to every detail and listened to me explain things a lot more than she should have. I definitely recommend her, she takes great care in what she does.”

About: Hi! I’m Shalesa, a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I grew up around dogs and currently have two fur babies of my own, Laila and Deuce, who are a huge part of my family. I previously worked as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic, where I gained valuable knowledge about pet care, health, and safety. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have regularly pet sat for family members and friends over the years, giving me experience with puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and dogs with different temperaments and needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while you’re away. Whether your pup loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to treating them like one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. However, I have the flexibility to come home during my lunch break for potty breaks, walks, feeding, and check-ins if needed. Outside of work hours, I am available for morning, evening, and weekend care. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care while their owners are away. 🐾💕 I live in a pet friendly apartment with 2 friendly furr babies, I have a lot of space. We frequently go to the dog park to get exercise and take long walks. 🐾💕

“2nd time having Mary care for my dog while I was away. Mary, once again, has done a wonderful job! It’s so comforting to know that I have someone in Mary that I can trust. I highly recommend her for your next pet sitting need.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life, grew up on a farm, rescued and cared for animals of all kinds. I am a traveling nurse, i take my dog everywhere. I am a travel nurse, i am gone 6 days and home 8 days. I’m available throughout everyday, i am home. I am available anytime morning or night. I can feed, give meds, take for walks, pretty much anything the animal needs or requires. I love caring for animals and this allows me to help others.

About: I’ve been working with dogs for over 19 years and provide a structured, calm, and safe environment in my home. I have a dedicated dog room with secure kennels, supervised interaction, and clear boundaries. I currently own and train multiple dogs, including a fully trained service animal and another dog I’ve personally raised and developed. This gives me strong experience with behavior, energy management, and different personalities. Dogs in my care are treated like family, but with structure. They can enjoy comfort like furniture once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I do not allow destructive or uncontrolled habits. I’m comfortable with puppies and can reinforce basic training, routine, and good behavior during their stay. I also provide advanced training reinforcement as part of my care. Dogs naturally work on obedience, confidence, impulse control, and daily mental and physical engagement while they’re here. I have experience building service-style task foundations and higher-level behavior, but I do not certify service animals. Every dog benefits from structure in my home, whether they need basic manners or more advanced work. My focus is safety, consistency, and communication so every dog is properly supervised, exercised, and leaves more balanced, responsive, and confident. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not something I fit in on the side. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured interaction, and regular potty breaks, exercise, and mental engagement. My background in disciplined environments has shaped how I run my home—dogs here benefit from routine, clear expectations, and a calm, controlled atmosphere. Each day includes a balance of activity, training reinforcement, and rest so dogs stay healthy, settled, and stress-free. Because I’m available throughout the day, I can adapt to each dog’s needs—whether that’s higher energy, puppy structure, or a more relaxed pace. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, engaged, and well looked after at all times. Safety, trust, and structure are the foundation of how I care for every dog. My home is set up specifically for pet care, with a dedicated dog room, secure kennels, and supervised interaction at all times. I carefully manage introductions and only allow dogs to interact once they are calm, balanced, and a good fit. Dogs in my care follow a structured routine that includes regular potty breaks, exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. I maintain clear boundaries while still allowing comfort—dogs can enjoy furniture and a relaxed environment once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I require dogs to be crate familiar or comfortable with structured downtime. Owners are encouraged to provide a crate or familiar setup for overnight stays, though I have limited kennel space available if needed. I prioritize communication and will keep owners updated with how their dog is doing. My goal is to provide a calm, controlled environment where dogs feel safe, are properly supervised, and leave more balanced and well cared for than when they arrived.

About: I have had a dog since I was 15 years old, and I have always been his primary caretaker. I have also watched friends and families pets where I have been responsible for walking, feeding, and bathing them. I have also had experience with pets who take medications. I am in Clinton for the summer, so I am looking for ways to fill time. Pet care seems like a great way to do it! I have pretty much open availability. When caring for your pet, I will follow your requests and provide the care that you see fit for your pet! I love to go above and beyond, so just let me know how I can best serve you and your pet.

“Ashlyn accepted a last minute request and did above and beyond what was asked! She took great care of my cats and was always very quick to respond!”

About: I have experience in dog walking and have worked in the Petsmart grooming salon. I have encountered all types of dogs including, but not limited to Great Danes, Chihuahuas, Bully breeds, seniors, puppies etc. From the time I was little, I loved animals and even wanted to own a zoo. My love for dogs began when my cousin got her first dog, Maximilian. By this time, I was afraid of dogs,l Max slowly eased me out of my fear and soon I wanted a dog of my own. My dog family grew when I got my dog Douglas. Douglas and I were best buds up until his passing in 2024. Currently, I currently have Bellatrix Lestrange (7 years, brown dog), Severus Snape (4 years black dog), and Aragorn "Oreo" (2, cat). . As of now I work a full time job Monday through Friday so I am only available on the weekends unless an emergency with one of my clients arises. My schedule changes on a week to week basis and I try my best to keep my Rover updated as soon as I get my schedule. I follow any and all instructions the owner provides. Dogs get plenty of play time and love and affection. I also have experience with cats and small rodents.
