“Ashley was wonderful and went above and beyond for our lab, Baron. She came by to meet us before the visits. It is obvious that she cares for animals and Baron took to her right away. Ashley played with Baron in the backyard and send photos showing us what a good time he was having. We will definitely contact her again if we have another trip where Baron can’t come.”
About: Although my family has never owned a dog, I have always loved taking care of my aunts, neighbors, and family friends dogs. I always make sure to pay attention to detail when watching a dog and meet each dogs needs whether that be a walk, playing with a toy, belly rubs, or even just relaxing. As a part-time graduate student at USM, I will have time during the day for a dog walk, or to check-in on your pup! I will be available on most weekends for house and dog sitting. I am available to come to your dog and stay with him/her so they do not have to move out of their comfortable environment and stay at a new space with new people.
About: I have three dogs of my own and I love meeting and caring for new pets. I have experience dog sitting from puppies to senior dogs. I work during the week but evenings and weekends are usually free to care for pets. Flexible schedule allows me to leave and let pets out and care for them as needed. Due to having dogs if my own I prefer to pet sit at the client’s home to ensure their pet’s utmost safety and comfortability. I always follow all instructions left by owners and make sure their pet has a great experience while their owners are gone.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. whether it’s a senior pup who needs meds and slow strolls or a hyper goofball who loves to fetch for hours. I treat every dog like my own: with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs. What sets me apart? I pay attention to the little things like quirky habits, favorite nap spots, or that weird way your dog likes their toy thrown. I’m reliable, quick to communicate, and genuinely love hanging out with dogs (sometimes more than people, if we’re being honest). Whether it’s a quick walk or a weekend stay, your pup will get 100% of my care and attention. I am a PhD student at USM. I’m currently teaching and taking classes online for the summer so I have a lot of free time and flexibility. Once school starts I’ll still be pretty flexible When I care for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walk routines, or favorite toys and I make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and heard (yes, I talk to them like they’re people). I treat your home with the same respect I’d want for mine: clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I also provide regular updates so you always know your pup is happy and in good hands. Your dog gets my full attention, every visit.
“Victoria does an excellent job with my dogs! She is punctual, responsible, and very loving towards my pets. She was always flexible and went above and beyond to make sure the needs of both of my dogs were met. I trust her 100% with my fur babies. She is great with my senior dog and my lab puppy too. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Perfect. I was thrilled my skittish little girl let her pet her. The animals loved her and she did a good job. She even sent me pictures of my angels. Will definitely use her again”
About: I have raised many kids and many dogs over the years and I’d love to care for your sweet dogs- much love will be provided For the summer, I am free pretty much all the time and I can sit in any of the surrounding towns around central Mississippi :) I have many years experience with dogs starting as a small girl. I’m a nurturer by nature and will be the most attentive person for your pet.
About: I’ve taken care of family dogs since I was 8. I have helped train dogs from puppy age to do basic commands as well as crate train. I’m currently a full time graduate student but I have online classes so in the mornings and evenings I have plenty of time to care for your pets. With my personal pet and others I ensure there is a harness and leash available for walks to make it safer and easier for me and the pet.

“Mackenzie was amazing. We have three medium to large size dogs, and she took great care of them. Her communication was perfect, she was immediately responsive virtually every time we reached out. We definitely plan to hire her again.”
About: I have great experience with dogs, I have one on my own and I understand the unconditional love that is shared between them. I would love to watch your furbaby! I’m currently in season for ULM basketball but check in with me for availability! As I mentioned I have a dog on my own so I can make time. I don’t have a fenced yard but, I have play areas where I can take your furbaby and we can have a great time. I have 2yr old Long-haired German Shepherd that is a friendly butterfly and play so well with other dogs, if your dog doesn’t get along with other dogs I can have mines put up at my neighbors home.
About: Since I can remember, my family has always had cats and dogs around. My aunt and uncle raise Belgian malinois and have had German shepherds so I know a lot about both breeds! I frequently petsit for a friend who has a bull mastiff mix. In addition, I have two dogs of my own and 5 cats. I also foster as often as I can so I have experience with short term care of animals. Currently I am on summer break as a teacher so my schedule is very open. During the school year (starting mid July), I am more limited to weekends and afternoons/evenings. I have a fenced in back yard for my two dogs and they sleep inside at night. All of my cats are inside cats and have a large scratching post and plenty toys to occupy them during the day!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I started seriously taking responsibility on my dogs at 16 years old. I know how to walk, play, bathe, feed, etc. I am a graduate college student with a light work load and a flexible work schedule, so working with pets fits into my schedule perfectly. I pay close attention to my dogs at home to prevent injuries or harm which will also apply to your pup! I don’t rush the pups on their walk & enjoy spending the time outside with them.
About: Growing up my neighbor would always get me to go over to her house twice a day and make sure her cats are feed and the litter box was clean. As I grew older I started taking care of family friends pets and anyone else who needed it. I would take them for a walk, feed them, and play with them or anything else that they needed I am an online college student so i have my own schedule when it comes to school and have freedom to work when i can I love taking my dog Max outside and playing fetch it’s his favorite thing to do and take him on walks around the neighborhood. Max gets spoiled at my house always getting treats and cuddles
About: Animals are genuinely my passion, hence why I’m going to school to work with them full time; I used to want to be a Veterinarian, but my life path has since changed because of my internship at the NEW Zoo in Green Bay. I've always had a soft spot for dogs and furry creatures of all sorts, but growing up outside I fell in love the scaly, slimy, and six legged friends as well. I had a few reptiles growing up and currently own a mildly venomous snake, so I thought a Zookeeper might be more my path; working with exotic animals is definitely my dream! I just graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Animal Science with a companion animal emphasis, meaning the pets we have in our homes is what I specialize in! I worked on and off at a dog day care in De Pere, WI for three years, along with personally owning small breeds to extra-large breeds, I believe I'm quite knowledgeable in the pet world! My roommate's and cousin's dogs know me as the "toy person" because I'm always there to have a good time. I also have and adore cats, along with any pet for that matter! Animals are what makes MY world go round and I don’t know where I’d be without them, I love all animals! The job market is insane right now, and no matter how many jobs I apply to they always find someone else to fill the position or never respond in the first place, so my schedule is WIDE OPEN! Whatever you need me to do I will! I love being outside, so walks, the dog park, just hanging out or even hiking can all be accomplished. I’m trained in nail trimming (including cats and larger rodents) and any basic grooming needs, like baths and teeth brushing, so I can do those as well! I love to just play with animals, so give me a dog or cat toy and I’ll sit in the floor with them for hours. And whatever schedule you feed/ have bathroom breaks/ walk your animals on I can guarantee I will stick to that schedule!

Gabriela W.
“Gabriela (aka Gabby) is a wonderful person. I hired her to watch my three dogs for 6 days. She spent the night at our house, she followed all the crazy instructions I left her, and my dogs trusted her and loved her. She took my puppies for a walk everyday, when one of them was too scared to eat from his bowl, Gabby fed him from her hands just to make sure he eats. She was also very patient with our senior dog who preferred to go outside through one specific door. I fully trust Gabby with my fur babies and I definitely recommend her to everyone. Go Gabby!”
Jenna M.
“When I needed someone to trust my Gertie girl with, there was no question that Jenna was the answer. I knew Gertie was in great and loving hands during our trip. I could not recommend Jenna more!”
Emily K.
“Emily would be a wonderful addition to your pet caregiver company! She took care of our sweet Champ every time we were out of town. We are very last minute people and she was always flexible and willing to put Champ on her schedule priority. One think I loved about Emily taking care of Champ is that she took time to play with him. He had some anxiety and she was always sweet to him. Another example of her love for animals is that I called her in a panic one evening, very late to help me with Champ. My husband was out of town and champ had a seizure. He was bleeding from his mouth and I couldn’t hold him and look in his mouth at the same time. She came right over and not only calmly helped him, she was so reassuring to me! I hope you consider adding Emily to your employment team! She is kind, dependable, flexible and has a heart for pets!”
