About: I’m a young professional that just moved into the area and looking for some part time work.. I’ve always loved and cared for animals my entire life, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have watched and taken care of my friends and family dogs since I was young. I’ve had close friends go on trips for weeks / months and would take care of their pets with great care. know how important it is to find a right person to watch your pet, and with my background and my professional nature, I know you’d feel More at ease knowing everything will be okay. Would love to help out when you’re in a tough spot and for you not having to worry about the care of your pet. I’m very respectful and reliable and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out. I currently work during the week until 3 pm, but have the ability during lunch to check in and tend to the animals. I’m available after 3pm any day during the week. There are currently two dogs and a fenced in backyard at my property. Ideally would rather pet sit at your location but in tough situations I can use my house.
About: I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I currently have a 7-year-old toy poodle named Winston who I trained myself, so I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. Beyond everyday care, I have hands-on experience with more specialized needs. I cared for a pregnant dog, assisted during birth, and helped raise the mother and her puppies until they went to their forever homes. I’ve also cared for my own senior poodle who had diabetes, so I’m comfortable supporting dogs who need extra attention, routine, and gentle care. I regularly dog sit for friends and family, and I treat every dog like my own with attentiveness, love, and structure. I’m very active and walk at least 3 miles a day with my dog, so whether your pup needs a high energy walk or a steady, consistent routine, I’m happy to match their pace. I work fully remote, which allows pet care to fit seamlessly into my daily routine. While my mornings occasionally include meetings, I’m otherwise flexible and just need to be available by phone for work. I’m consistently available on weekdays between 10am and 5pm for walks and drop-in visits, with some flexibility outside those hours when needed. Working from home also allows me to be responsive, punctual, and communicative so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. I provide care exclusively in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. During walks and drop-in visits, your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and leash/harness preferences. I double-check doors, gates, and locks before leaving and make sure your pet is safely secured at all times. You can expect detailed updates and photos after each visit so you feel confident and informed. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.

“Brisa provided excellent care to our two poodles Simba and Shadow! They really enjoyed their time with her during her drop in visits. Brisa took the boys for walks, made sure they were fed and provided plenty of TLC. Thank you Brisa!!”
“Tara took such wonderful care of my two cats while I was out of town for the holidays. Both of my cats seemed super comfortable with her from the first visit. I booked drop in visits and she went above and beyond to make sure that they were both well taken care while I was gone. She made sure to send me lots of pictures and communicated any questions or concerns when necessary, which I really appreciated. This was my first time using Rover, but I will definitely be booking with Tara again in the future!”

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ridgeland is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $40 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
