Times have changed and pets have become such a big part of our families and their health and happiness is our responsibility. I am involved currently with a rescue in Mississippi and help with adoptions and transports. Iv'e met many animals and their individual personalities.

Vanessa watched our two super shy cats over the holidays. One of our cats requires a daily medication mixed in with food and, as cats do, refuses it unless conditions are perfect to her evolving specifications 😂. Vanessa troubleshooted with us to meet her demands 👑. She was very patient with our other anxious nugget also, who even accepted her head scratches. They both seemed really healthy when we returned. Vanessa was also reliable with her visit times and communication.

About: I provide dependable, personalized care that helps pets feel safe and comfortable in their own routine. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies, senior pets, and shy or anxious animals. I focus on patience, attention, and clear communication so pet owners always feel informed and at ease. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication support, feeding schedules, or extra comfort for older pets, I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I keep a flexible schedule so I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits when needed. I make sure each pet gets reliable care, regular exercise, and plenty of affection while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in my home by abiding by the owner's feeding and snack schedule. I have fenced-in yard for playing. I walk the dogs in my neighborhood or go to a local park. I keep them on a leash, I NEVER let them roam free in a public area.

About: What sets me apart? Well, for starters, I’ve spent 15 years surrounded by cats and dogs, so at this point I’m basically fluent in “meow,” “woof,” and “treat‑now‑please.” I have a super flexible daily schedule, which means I can work around your pet’s routine—not the other way around. As a cat parent to four furry supervisors, I’m totally comfortable with litter boxes, medications, picky eaters, shy personalities, and pets who require a little extra patience or senior care. Whether your pet wants playtime, cuddles, quiet company, or someone who understands their quirks, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and completely at home. My goal is simple: you relax, knowing your pet is getting the same care and affection I give my own. I am free all day, every day (mostly) and at all hours. I like to wake up early so no issues with early calls! If you want me to jog with your dog instead of walking, I can do that too. When I’m caring for pets—whether in your home or out on a walk—my top priorities are safety, comfort, and keeping your pet’s routine exactly how you like it. I treat every animal like they’re one of my own (and with four cats at home, I’ve had plenty of practice being lovingly bossed around). For dog walks, I always use secure leashes, stay alert to surroundings, avoid unsafe areas, and follow your dog’s pace and preferences. No risky encounters, no off‑leash surprises—just safe, happy walks. For kitty care, I keep things calm, clean, and predictable. I’m comfortable giving medications, deep‑cleaning litter boxes, and making sure your cat has fresh water, a tidy space, and whatever level of attention they prefer—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or simply being admired from across the room. My goal is simple: you should feel completely at ease knowing your pet is safe, loved, and cared for exactly the way you would do it.

Correen was so attentive to our two kittens during our recent vacation and helped us feel so at ease knowing they were getting cared for so thoroughly. She provided such thoughtful and detailed updates during each drop in visit and included frequent photos and fun tidbits of her visits. We could tell she was giving them both the time and attention anyone would want for their pets while they are away. Could not recommend her services more! Thanks again Correen!

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have always had cats, including experience with a disabled cat who needed extra patience and care. I’m comfortable with feeding, administering medication, and creating a calm, safe environment for pets. I have also provided dog walking, feeding, and playtime for dogs of all sizes for family and friends. Pet parents can trust that I will treat their pets as if they were my own—keeping them safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I work full-time in a hybrid role, which means I’m home most weekdays and can keep a close eye on your pets throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks, drop-ins, and other services on weekdays after work hours. My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and care so your pets are never left alone for long. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with my friendly cat, so visiting pets will feel right at home. I always introduce dogs to my cat slowly and safely to make sure everyone is comfortable. I keep my home clean and secure, and I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them happy and stress-free. With several parks and a beach nearby, I can give dogs plenty of fresh air and exercise. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.

About: I've had two dogs of my own - one blind, and the other deaf. I am happy to manage your pet's quirks while we're having a great time together, too. Every pet needs something different, so I'll pay close attention to the details of your instructions. I'm also very focused on safety: leashes and familiar walks are a must! I am a teacher, so during the school year, I am available after 4:00pm to check in on your pet so everyone is happy when you arrive home. Also, I am booking now for summer - I would love to share my time off with your pets! I am a teacher during the school year, so my summer is wide open. I do enjoy visiting a few clients each day - it adds some structure to my own life! At my place, I have an air-conditioned apartment and a small porch where your pet and I can relax. We can take walks in the neighborhood or along the rail trail, located right across the street. Leashes and tags are always a must! In your home, I'll be sensitive to your pet's routines and habits around the house. Likewise, I'll be careful about your privacy and the condition of your home. In either location, we can agree on a timetable so you can expect pictures and updates of your special pet.

About: Hi there! I'm an enthusiastic dog lover with a deep passion for caring for our furry friends. With years of experience in dog walking and pet care, I understand that each dog has its own personality and needs. I prioritize their happiness, health, and safety during our walks, making sure they get the exercise and socialization they crave. Whether it's a playful pup or a mellow companion, I'm dedicated to providing a fun and nurturing experience for every dog I meet. Let's explore the great outdoors together! 🐾 Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, seamlessly fitting in with my schedule. I work part time locally, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate ample time to caring for pets. My days often begin with morning walks, where I ensure that every dog gets the exercise and attention they deserve. Throughout the day, I prioritize playtime, training, and nurturing activities, allowing me to build strong bonds with the animals I care for. This setup not only allows me to fulfill my passion for animal care, but it also ensures that your pets receive personalized attention and love whenever they are in my care! Pets come first period. My home is the dog’s home. I don’t believe in treating animals less than. I also live next to multiple parks to give them all the walks they need.

It was my first time using Rover, and Julia made it such an easy experience! She is so kind, and I am thankful that she was able to drop in on our cats while we were on vacation. She sent so many cute and funny pictures, and the cats seemed to really love her. She even went the extra mile and took our trash out for us. We will definitely book with Julia for our next trip!🫶
