“My pups LOVE Meagan! She did an amazing job keeping my 3 and watching my home. I would HIGHLY recommend her. Her attention to detail is wonderful! She also gives detailed updates and the pictures are awesome!”

“Dalton is top notch. He was prompt, and notified us when he arrived and when he left. Notifications included pics of our three babies. Throughout his stay Dalton communicated with us regularly, and provided additional pics of our puppies' 'goings about'. He was very prompt with responding to any messages i sent. Our dogs took to him at the meet n greet, which was already an indicator of Dalton's character and natural love for dogs. We felt very confident that it would go well, even though this was our first experience with Rover, and Dalton. We've already requested another booking with him.”

“Michael took great care of our dogs, walking and and feeding them. They had a better time with him than with us! Great with instructions, would fully recommend Michael for any dog sitting situations.”

“I can’t thank Sara enough for taking such wonderful care of my Yuki while I was on a 7-day trip to Europe. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind knowing my dog was happy and safe. When I came home, my Yuki was relaxed and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter—I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Caitlin is a true professional with her pet sitting and house care. She is diligent and wants to make sure your dog and home are well taken care of. I was nervous to leave my dog alone with someone for the first time over a long trip, but I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. My dog didn’t seem any bit upset by my absence when I returned home, so I know he was happy with Caitlin. She will send lots of pictures so you know your dog is doing well, which was nice. Highly recommend her, all I thought afterward was that I hope she’s available next time I need her!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds my whole life. Family, friends, and clients have trusted me with their fur babies. You should too!!! I’m home for the summer may 7th - July 2nd and I can take care of your sweet animals at any time during the week including weekends! I have 3 other dogs who are very friendly, my neighborhood is not dangerous at all and I have a fenced in back yard! I also would have family to help!
“Amanda was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I will forever use her to watch my babies! She was wonderful and my puppies absolutely adored her! She sent me so many wonderful pictures and took such great care of them and not once did I have to worry about their well being! Thank you so so much and I can’t wait to praise your sitting to other families who are in need of someone caring to watch their babies!”


“Laura stayed in house for two weeks pet sitting for us. She took our dogs out for walks, ran errands with them and was in tune to each pet’s quirks. She even watered my plants, check mail, and brought in packages! Our home was turned back over in the same condition as we left it - I highly recommend trusting your babies with her!”

About: I have many pets at home (10 to be exact) and they are the best part of each day. I would love to get to know yours as well! I just took a break from college, so I have a lot of free time. I am still available on weekends but not full time because of work. Weekdays are totally free! My main goal is to make your pets feel safe and comfortable with me. I will do what’s needed to make them feel as though they can trust me.
“Vivian was a good communicator and worked through some issues with my younger pup well. She left the house in great shape and was eager to please. The girls were very happy when I got home. I would use her again.”

“Raylin was amazing! She sat our two pups in our house for almost a week. This was the first time we have left them alone at home this long and she took great care of them. They really took to her. We will definitely reach back out to Raylin when we need a sitter again!”

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child and always have loved animals. I have three dogs and two cats of my own that are well loved and taken care of. I am an excellent communicator and can keep you as up to date as you would like with pictures or texts. If your pets are staying with me or are here for the day my yard is fenced and is divided into three fenced areas. I have dogs, but they can be kept separated if they aren’t good with other animals. Tons of space to run and play. I am comfortable taking care of animals that have dietary restrictions, require medicine administered, or other special needs. I currently work from home and am an athlete in my free time. I usually am gone for only a couple hours a day when I train. Pets staying with me have the option of being kept separately from my pets. Although my pets are all well socialized and friendly. I would treat your pets with the same level of patience and care as I give my own fur babies. Going away can be hard and I am happy to keep you updated with all the pictures and texts to help not feel so far away.
About: I have had dogs, sometimes multiple ones, all my life. I am an animal lover, and advocate, of all kinds of animals. I just lost my Maltese of 13 years old which traveled the world with me literally. I was only away from him for two nights his whole life, and that was bc he spent the night at the vets one night, and I spent the night at the hospital one night. He went everywhere with me. From restaurants to Walmart. If I went he went. I have no children, so he was my child. I will treat your baby with the same love, and care. I have a newly build house with an acre that is fenced in. So, if your dog is large and likes to run outside, it can. I also have a screened in back porch. You baby will be safe and loved in my home. I am retired and spend most of my time at home. So your dog will be supervised, as per hour request. I am flexible and will listen to the owners request, as much as possible. I have a fenced in acre of land. I also have a screen in back porch. If you have small dogs, they can run freely, and I would stay outside to watch them. If you have large dogs they can stay out all they want. Dogs love me! They know if you are of good character, or not.

About: Hi! I’m Linda, and I’ve always loved animals and the comfort, personality, and joy they bring into our lives. I’m dependable, organized, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets — whether that’s going for walks, giving them attention during drop-in visits, or simply helping them feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away or busy. I work full-time at the University of Southern Mississippi, so I understand how important reliability, communication, and trust are. I’m looking to offer flexible evening and weekend pet care and would love to help give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and extra attention to help both you and your pet feel comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full-time at the University of Southern Mississippi and have availability during evenings, weekends, and some daytime hours on work-from-home days. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so walks and drop-in visits are a great fit for my schedule and lifestyle I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get attention, exercise, fresh water, potty breaks, and plenty of care and patience. I also understand how important communication is for pet owners, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits.
“Deanna came to our rescue after our other sitter had a death in the family and could not watch our dogs. She is awesome she did great watching our dogs. She took them out and spent several hours with them a day. We originally booked for overnight but because she lives so close we let her do drop in visits and it worked out just as well. I highly recommend Deanna to watch your pets because she'll treat them like family and did an amazing job! We will be using her again!”


About: I have been around dogs my entire life. My passion and love for dogs inspired me to start a dog rescue a few years ago. Since starting the rescue, I have gained experience with dogs of all different ages, breeds, and sizes. I have also learned to handle a variety of different behavior and health issues. I have experience with aggressive, fearful, and anxious dogs. I am confident in handling just about any type of dog. I can be available most days of the week. My schedule is flexible for the most part, so I will do my best to accommodate you. While caring for your pet, I will do my best to treat them as you would. I will give them plenty of love and attention, but also be sure to set the same boundaries for them as you do. For example, if you don't allow them on the couch then I will do the same. I will also send you plenty of updates on how they are doing while I am with them.
