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. 🐾💕
About: Passionate about animal rights. Developed and implemented a dog rescue run club called Fire Hydrant Patrol that is widely renowned through Jackson, MS. I work through ARF. I value fitness and incorporate working out daily. I feel this can be running with dogs. I dog sat for the Pelicans (NBA team) trainer while he was gone for weeks at a time for away games. I grew up with dogs and love all dogs. All are welcome! I work full time for lululemon which is an active wear company. I work full time but want something else to do on the side. I love dogs and this was something I can do through out the day and during the weekend. This is perfect for me and my personality!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 11 years old. I cared for my dogs and my neighbors, friends, and family pets.

About: Hi there! My name is Olivia and I have been a dog sitter for 10+ years, but an animal lover for my entire life. I would love the opportunity to care for your baby like they are my own while you are away. I have an 11 year old Yorkie named Bella who stills plays all day with the energy of a puppy. I am only able to host small dogs within my home and my baby would love to have a friend her size running around here. However, I am happy to care for any type/size dog within your home and for walks. I am currently working only two days a week so I have plenty of availability to care for your babies like they are my own! I have a fenced in yard with lots of area for your pup to run around! I also have a stroller available for any small/medium dog that is unable to do a full walk so they can still be included in the experience!
About: I've had furry companions (dogs, cats, guinea pigs) since I was a child. I went from only taking care of them at home, to working at a no-kill shelter, to now working as a petsitter/dogwalker while I moonlight at a pet food store. I can’t wait to spoil your fur-babies!🤗—I want to have a lasting and dependable role in your pets life My day current job has very little hours, allowing me the flexibility to work my schedule to fit all pet parents that would need me. I also offer daycare in your home if you need someone to stay with your babies in the daytime! Feel free to ask about that I am comfortable with crating and handling dogs of various sizes and temperaments. I also have experience with managing the time it takes to clean an area and be attentive to a pup or kitten.
“Laura is a great sitter! She was prompt, communicated, and followed instructions to a tee. She went above and beyond to make sure me and my pup were comfortable and satisfied. I hope to work with her again in the future!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10, starting with my own family dog as well as helping neighbors. I have also worked with dogs at my grandfather’s vet clinic since I was 15. Currently, I care for my own Goldendoodle. I just started nursing school in January, so my schedule isn’t as flexible as it used to be but I still love caring for pets whenever I can! Reoccurring walks are a little harder to commit to just because of school. I live in a gated community on the water and have four friendly dogs at home. I also have three spare crates available for guests if needed. Since I’m subscribed to BarkBox, we have plenty of toys but you’re always welcome to bring your own for the stay! I am committed to caring for your pets with the same love and attention as my own.

About: I have owned/taken care of pets for as long as I can remember! From our family pets growing up to my own dog now, I have always been responsible for the dogs well-being! I currently work from home full-time and I am available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, etc. at any time! My daily schedule is very relaxed leaving me plenty of time for quality pet time! Whether in my home or a client’s home, I am always overly cautious to make sure that the pet is safe and has what they need to be happy and healthy!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Ridgeland. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Ridgeland.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ridgeland. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 83% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
