4. Madeline D.
“Fantastic communication and she gave so much love and care to my pup. Each visit looked to be better and better once my pup warmed up to a new friend. Will definitely book again when another trip arises.”
5. Paige W.
“Paige was an amazing pet sitter for my two kittens. When she met them for the first time they felt comfortable coming right up to her, which is saying a lot because they’re usually shy with new people! It was clear that Paige has a lot of experience with animals and that they were in responsible and caring hands. Paige sent me updates and photos that put my mind at ease while I was away, and when I returned my pets were happy and well taken care of. I’d recommend Paige for all of your pet care needs!”
6. Kristina O.
“Kristina was awesome. Very prompt, great communicator. Our dog loved her. Will definitely use her again.”
7. Christine C.
“I've been using Christine to watch my cat just about every time I go out of town for the better part of a year now and she's awesome! Takes great care of my baby and is super responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommended!”
8. Erin T.
“Erin is responsive and thorough -- you know you can trust her with your pet. She did an excellent job on the drop-in visit for my cat. I'll definitely be using her services again!”
9. Robyn M.
“Robyn truely has a heart for animals. She has watched our 3 cavalier king charles spaniels, outdoor cat, and also visiting great pyrenees (which can be complicated 😀). The pups are always glad to see her. I can trust Robyn to give meds appropriately and ensure all is well. I highly recommend her!”
10. Jacky P.
“Jacky did an AMAZING job watching my three kitties! She always kept me up to date on how they were doing, and even sent photos and videos along the way to make us feel reassured as we were traveling. We have a senior cat, and Jacky took extra care with her. Thanks so much, Jacky! 😃”
11. Judd W.
“Judd was very attentive and amazing with our dogs. He took them out when scheduled and took them on walks. He sent pictures on every visit. I highly recommend Judd when pet sitting”
12. Madeline B.
“We had a great experience with Madeline. She’s very communicative and provides updates with each visit. One of my cats is diabetic and afraid of strangers but Madeline made sure on her first visit that he finished his food and got his shot, even while he was in his hiding place. She also cleaned the litter boxes. When we returned home from our trip, both cats seemed very content so i know Madeline also took time to give them attention at each visit. It is hard to leave your pets with someone new but 10/10 recommend Madeline!”
13. Graham D.
“I've had the pleasure of knowing Graham for four years and he's now my son-in-law. In his vocation, he a detail oriented, responsible and timely employee. My dog, Schuyler absolutely adores him and sticks to his side when he visits. He is the proud "pet dad" to Toby the basset hound, who's about a year old, so lots of puppy practice. Graham loves animals and loves excerise so this seems to be a match made in heaven. He would be a wonderful caregiver for your clients' pets.”
14. Madison F.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and have grown up having several in my home. I’ve fostered countless pets while in search of their forever homes and love seeing each and every personality any animal has to offer! I’m currently not working and have plenty of time on my hands to hangout with some cool pups and have some fun while focusing on my school work. I have a dog park right around the corner of my apartment that makes for a great walk and play time with my friendly pup cooper.
15. Callie M.
“Callie was very thorough and attentive to our two dogs while we were out of town. Our dogs loved her from the first time they met her! We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
16. 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. Tieri F.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for most of my childhood. I grew up with 2 family dogs (Pitbulls) and a cat. I currently live with my Doberman who is well trained and friendly. I also started volunteering at the OCHS animal shelter 2 years ago. I’m currently a college student at Mississippi State so I have a lot of free time to take care of my peers pets/family. I treat every animal as my own. I live in an apartment with an active and very friendly dog. If you prefer your pet to not be around my puppy, I will understand and is available for your home care. I will follow all instructions given by pet parents.
19. Izzie M.
“Izzie was one of the primary caregivers of our family dog for 17 years. She consistently fed, bathed and took him and took him on walks. As he aged, she was conscious of his unique needs such as being lifted and taking medicine. Even when she moved away for college, Izzie was one of the only people I trusted to care for our dog and cats when I was out of town.”
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!
