“Hey there! I just wanted to say that Jasmine, is truly amazing when it comes to providing safe and loving care for pets. She has this incredible ability to connect with animals, making them feel at ease and loved. When my pets were under her care, I could see how attentive and nurturing she was always making sure they were happy and comfortable. What really sets Jasmine apart is her warm personality and the genuine love she has for all creatures. Her great customer service shines through in her communication; she’s always quick to respond and so friendly. It is clear that she isn’t just doing a job she really cares, and that makes all the difference. I could not recommend her enough!”
10. Mary D.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life, I am also experienced with farm animals (including large animals) and some exotics (specifically birds and rodents). I am currently working at a animal hospital and am applying for vet school soon. I am also a member of the American Kennel Club and have experience with animal behavior. I would love to take care of your pet! I am a student at Mississippi State and work Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. I do my best to keep my Rover calendar up to date. I am willing to accommodate to your animals needs. If they need to be leash walked at your home, or need someone to watch them in the yard I can do that. I am also experienced with many medications and know how to administer them. Your pets needs are my top priority.
11. Elliot M.
“Elliot has taken care of my husky a few times, and always has done a fine job. My boy Juuso can be quite a handful, and needs good leadership, but he seems to listen to Elliot well, so I can happily recommend Elliot to walk any dog.”
12. Alexis M.
“Alexis was great with my kitty midnight. Was very attentive to her, gave her all the cuddles, and sent me plenty of pictures of her.”

14. Nani Grace A.
“If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets with love and expertise while you’re away, Nani is your girl! With hands-on experience working in a veterinary hospital, she brings a level of knowledge and professionalism that sets her apart. Reliable and caring, Nani always ensures pets are happy, well-fed, and comfortable. Born and raised locally, she graduated from Mount Paran Christian School and is now a dedicated pre-vet student, blending her passion for animals with her career goals. Animals of all kinds are naturally drawn to her, and she has an incredible gift for connecting with them and putting them at ease. Nani truly understands how much pets mean to their families and treats every animal in her care as if they were her own. I can’t recommend Nani enough for her pet sitting services—she’s often available last minute, and helped many I know when they were in a pinch who have now become regulars on her schedule.”

17. Elizabeth D.
About: I currently work at a vet clinic as a vet assistant. I have to make sure the animals are clean and that their cages are too and do any other kennel work. As well as putting owners and their pets in rooms before the vet sees them and I also will assist when anyone asks me whether it is just holding a dog, or drawing blood, etc. I own a cat here at college and 3 dogs back home. I’m currently a student at Mississippi State. But have a lot of off time when not in class. And especially during the summer I can give your pets a lot of attention. I currently have 3 dogs, a cat, and a turtle. I regularly feed my pets. I let out my dog regularly to go to the bathroom. I clean out my turtle tank regularly as well. I also have to give my dogs medicine regularly and clean out my dogs ears. I also will bath then regularly. I have a cat that stays with me at college too.
18. Jerzie P.
“Jerzie far exceeded my expectations. She took the best care of my two fur babies while we were away. I had total confidence that they were in the best hands. Came home to happy pups and a clean home. Thank you again!”
19. Rhiannon L.
About: When boarding pets at my home they will be played with almost constantly and be treated as if they are part of the family. They will also receive a bath on the last day if staying for more than one night. On drop ins I will check on your pet and play with them for a little bit after feeding. For walks I will allow the dog to walk or run and go potty at least twice before ending the walk. If I am staying at your home to watch your pet I will do light house cleaning and tend to anything that needs to be done. Your pets are my priority when I am caring for them. I hope you will choose me as your top choice for a pet sitter. Thank you for your consideration. Into my daily schedule; Monday-Wednesday I am free most of the day. Thursday-Saturday, I work 11-8 with a midday break. So, I'm able to check in on them in the morning then on my break, and at night. Sunday I work 3-8 making mornings and nights perfect. In my home, I do not have any animals other than those I care for. I live in a 3 bd/42ba apartment, which is where my dog stays in the crate while I'm at class. The complex also has a park area on the grounds to take them to play at for a few hours of the day, and then at night any dog is crate trained or allowed out. Therefore, whichever you prefer for your pup is where they will sleep.
20. Sadie S.
About: Living in a small community, my first job was not only caring for my pets, but the pets of my elderly neighbors as well! Caring for animals is my passion and i would love to bring that passion to your pet! As a full time college student, having a few hour gaps in my daily schedule does not leave me room for a part time job. However, it is the perfect opportunity for a job like visiting and walking dogs! Having three dogs of my own, not here at school, i understand the time and effort it takes to care for these animals. I am very much instruction oriented and am happy and willing to care for your pet in anyway you need!
