“Claire was great with all our babies! They took to her right away, and she took excellent care of them while we were gone. She was super communicative, and sent us tons of pictures, videos, updates the whole time. We’ll definitely use her again!”
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!
About: To me, our pets are like family. They deserve to have the best care available since they are dependent on us to provide for them. I enjoy spending time with animals and will follow their routines so they feel comfortable and safe. I am a detail-oriented person — I will make sure your pets are cared for according to your directions, with a lot of cuddles sprinkled in (if they are snugglers). I am a freelance writer, semi-retired, so I have a lot of time on my hands to devote to animals in my care. I enjoy playing fetch or tug-of-war or providing whatever other stimulation your pet needs. For those who prefer to be alone or sleep all day, I'll respect their space and keep watch from a distance. I try to follow the routines of the pet parents, so the pets have some consistency while their family is away. That's also why I prefer to stay in the home, so they are in a place they already know and feel comfortable with. I feed at the designated times and am vigilant about potty breaks or cleaning litter boxes, taking walks or whatever else the pet does in the course of a typical day. I don't give table food or snacks to pets, and I will handle any type of emergency per your instructions. I love to take pictures and videos of your pets throughout the day and will send them to you, so you know your babies are doing great. I don't mind running errands or collecting the mail and other small tasks that may be needed while you are away.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to creating a safe, positive experience while you’re away. Whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping your dog company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for throughout my time with them. As a 20 year old college student home for the summer. I work at South of Beale downtown and enjoy attending to animals. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of providing reliable, attentive, and loving care and i would love to be your next sitter ! As a pet owner, I can provide safe, attentive care by following routines, watching your pets, maintaining a clean environment, and ensuring they feel comfortable, secure, and loved.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and many other animals since I was ten years old, I am trustworthy, reliable, heartfelt and a huge animal lover! I currently have dogs of my own who are loveable, friendly, and kind. They have a daily routine and are loved and spoiled! My Husband and I have plenty of time to add extras to our bunch and will provide the best possible care to your fur babies just like they are our own!

About: Pets tend to feel comfortable around me quickly, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with each animal I care for. I have a deep love for all animals and take the time to play with them, give them attention, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I focus on understanding each pet’s personality and needs so I can provide patient, attentive, and loving care that feels like home. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m a student at USM with Mondays fully open and most of Wednesdays available, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. While Tuesdays and Thursdays are busier due to school, I still plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent attention and care. I stay active and work out 3–5 days a week, so walks, playtime, and light cardio with dogs fit perfectly into my lifestyle. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on both engagement and safety. I make sure pets get plenty of playtime and activity while also keeping a close eye on them to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I follow the pet’s routine closely, provide attention and companionship, and make sure their needs are met at all times.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Purvis on Rover is $37.74 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 47 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Purvis. 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 Purvis 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 Purvis 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 Purvis 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
