About: Volunteering in animal shelters, fostering, and independent animal rescue work has given me years of experience in animal behavior and care. I live on a 7 acre rural homestead with lots of room to walk dogs. We do not have a fence so visiting dogs will always be on leash. I have a large room set aside as my petsitting room so that your pet can move around freely and we can have plenty of room to play and snuggle. My personal pets love other animals and are always up to date on vetting, so if they are compatible, they are more than welcome to romp and play with my fun crew! I currently work from home as a part time tutor and homesteader, so I am available to give your pets all the attention they need. Pet care is personalized. I will discuss your animals’ needs with you and we will determine what will work best for them in the way of living and sleeping arrangements. I’m very flexible and want what is best for your fur baby. Pet care is already a staple in my daily life. I'm a nurturer by nature. I often drive transports with 40+ dogs and cats cross country to their adopters and have to care for them all! I have one rescue dog who is very timid and dog friendly. She sometimes comes with me when I dogsit and sometimes stays at home with my partner, just depending on the situation.
“Alex was great housesitting Pei and Miso! Very communicative and left my apartment better than when she arrived 🫶 which was greatly appreciated after a 5.5 hour drive!”
About: I have cared for all sorts of animals growing up such as dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. We have a pet pot belly pig, Dumplin, who I've taught a few tricks 😊. I have trained a few dogs (puppy-adult) however I am not a certified/professional trainer; I just have a passion for connecting with dogs. If your pet needs someone to stop by to interact with, let out to potty, give medication, walk, brush, etc. then look no further. I will be happy to help! I currently work a full-time job, so as of right now I'm available on the weekends. I would be open to drop in after work if need be. (after 5pm) The type of care is dependent upon the species and/or breed. I will abide by the routine you and fur babies are used to. With a little extra play time of course 😋
About: I’ve owned many dogs since the age of 8, and have always been the primary caretaker and caregiver of each of my dogs and cats. Today I own a little cream colored Shih Tzu named, Codie Banks! I have a very flexible schedule, so let me take care of your puppy or cat needs! I am available for both quick trips on short notice and also available for reoccurring walks & check ins. It brings me so much joy to be able to take care of your furry angel/angels, when you aren’t able to! I promise to treat them as if they are my own! I love all dogs and cats, no matter how big or how small, how smelly, or how wild. Try me out and I promise you won’t be disappointed.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, but I started taking a more active role in their care about 9 years ago. I began by helping with family pets and more recently started doing my own pet sitting and drop-ins. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities and have experience handling multiple dogs at once. I really enjoy getting to know each dog and figuring out what they like and need. I try to keep things calm and consistent so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m still building my experience, which is part of why my rates are lower right now, but I take pet care seriously and focus on giving your pet reliable, quality care. I’m currently in college. So my schedule is finicky. At school (Starkville, MS area): I’m available most of the time. At home (Laurel/Hattiesburg, MS area): I’m available on weekends and school breaks. Schedule subject to change—please check my calendar for the most up-to-date availability. I live in town and like to keep dogs (and myself) active with regular walks and time outside. I pay attention to how each pet behaves so I can adjust to what they’re comfortable with, whether that’s pace, distance, or time. I will follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet stays safe and your home is respected. I also keep communication clear so you always know how things are going.

“Kirsten house sat and did so well with our pets! She was reliable and there when she said she would be there. She also seemed to be knowledgeable with the care given to the animals! Would use her again!”
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Purvis on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 45 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.
