House Sitting in Strayhorn

“I was extremely pleased with the service Kelly provided our 4 babies! She had great communication and we felt such ease when she let us know she had made it. We will certainly be using her services again. Thank you!”

“Our dogs truly enjoyed having Melissa care for them while we were on vacation. It was such a comfort for the dogs to be in their own home vs boarding.”

About: Hi my name is Laurie. I am 28 and have been around dogs most of my life. Growing up I had a jack Russell, chihuahua and a Yorkie poo. I currently have a Yorkie and Pomeranian named Benji and Cali. I have some experience with big dogs since I used to work at a boarding facility. My experience with them is that they need lots of exercise and some down time. Your fur baby will be safe with me. We will go on long walks, play fetch, or simply just chill. Im also comfortable with cats. I am a cat owner and had one when I was younger. I have a flexible schedule so if I sound right for you and your fur baby let me know. (:

About: I have owned and taken care of animals since I was born and absolutely love it. From horses, ferrets, squirrels, to raccoons, I have had it all. My mother is a veterinarian so we have owned 12-18 animals at once all my life. I love animals so much and could not imagine life without them! I am currently in college at Northwest mississippi community college and have morning classes from 9-12. I have nothing else to do for the rest of the day and it makes me homesick thinking about my animals back home. I would love a opportunity to work with animals near me. At the moment I will not be taking others pets in but caring for them at their owners house, where they feel more safe instead!

“Magnolia did a stay to take care of our cat & dog for just over a week. We came home to two happy and healthy furry children. This was our first time using a service rather than a recommendation for a sitter from a friend and Magnolia quickly put us at ease when she came over to meet everyone before the stay. She's very nice, responsive and I could see they & the house would be in capable hands. We'd definitely reach out to her again.”

About: I have over 30yrs experience with animals. I’ve always had dogs, cats & plenty of other farm animals. I’ll be glad to love your animals. I currently work full time from home. Im available 24/7 to take care of your pets. I can also do drop ins @ your home. I do not have a fenced in yard so the animal has to be leashed when outside. I no longer have any animals in my home.. I also do housesitting and drop ins.

“Kayla was wonderful as always! The dogs love her & so do we. We are so thankful to have Kayla around for last minute trips, as well as for plans made well in advance. She stays with the dogs and plays with them & doesn't just stop in for quick visits. We will be rebooking soon!!”

“Jennifer was awesome. She followed instructions and was very good with my 13 year old dog. He continues to look around the house for her. I wish I had found her sooner. I will definitely use her every time I need a sitter .”

“Adel was wonderful with our very anxious pup. This is the first time we've left her more than a few hours and we felt very comfortable leaving her with Adel. He did his best to keep her calm even though she was really missing me! He stayed in contact and sent pictures.”

“Akilah went above and beyond. She helped me out when another sitter cancelled last second. My dog and cat loved her as soon as they met her. She sent me photos and videos while I was away. She even took out the trash and washed the sheets in the room she was staying in!! Will definitely use her again.”

About: I have loved animals since I was a young child. I love caring for dogs and also the flexibility to travel, so I do not have a pup of my own. I started dog sitting in high school and college while on breaks from school and it brings me so much joy to care for everyone's pups. I work full-time in a physical therapy clinic, so I am typically able to run home during my lunch break if dogs are in need of a restroom break. I am always excited to spend time with animals in any way possible! Sometimes this looks like stopping at someone's house on the way home from work if they need walked, staying in their home, or their dog(s) staying with me. I do not have any pets of my own, so if your dog does not get along well with other dogs they will be comfortable in my home. I have a roommate who also loves dogs but does not have any pets. If your dog(s) love others, we can enjoy walks and dog parks and play dates with others! I am very careful when entering and residing in others homes, and try to make sure the environment is the same or cleaner than I left it.

About: I will be at the house 24/7. We have a fully fenced 4 acre backyard with a pond and a pool. We feed 2 geese and 2 ducks, as well as wild birds that reside around the pond. The dogs love running them off and chasing them. Your dogs will have a good time. I do have 1 cat but she gets along well with dogs and is good at hiding from overly excited dogs. She is also indoor outdoor and roams the neighborhood so she won’t be a problem. I am used to dealing with puppies that have to go outside in the middle of the night. I have a 6 year old beagle, and a 3 year old Doodle & a 3 year old Poodle. They are spoiled rotten and receive most of my love and care. They require a lot of grooming and bathing, and enjoy daily exercise. My dogs will be happy to play with yours and make them feel at home. They probably won’t want to leave when it is time to go home.
