About: My friends rely on me to give love and care to their fur babies, and their pets love to play with me!

I currently work a full-time job in Pontotoc from 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. I do have one Friday off every two weeks. I am willing to work with you if you’re willing to work with me! I have much more availability on the weekends and most evenings. When I first meet owners, I try to learn as much about their and their pup’s routines as possible. I strive to make sure pets feel as comfortable with me, and I try to maintain their routines when I am taking care of them!

I’m currently doing gig work but I have a super flexible schedule. I have a dog of my own so I make sure to fit my schedule around him. I have a golden retriever at home currently who is small for his age but healthy. He loves to play and will get along with anyone because he thinks everyone is his friend
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little. My neighbors would asked me to watch, feed, play, and walked them for as long as I remember. I can deal with all different types of dogs.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old! We have a German Shepard and mini poodle. I really enjoy dog sitting and getting to know and love your pet! I’m currently working full time, in the city of New Albany. I have a pretty flexible job, so I am able to leave when needed! My home is next door to my job, so I am able to check on dogs who are in my home at anytime. I am available any time on the weekends. I enjoy watching pets. I will be sure the pet does not mess up the home and will ensure that we will play together. If there is a fenced in yard, we will play there and go on walks.
About: I'll be honest in saying I do not have any "professional" time looking after animals, BUT I have had a dog throughout my entire life that has always been my entire life. There is no doubt in my mind that I would be able to give the best care available and I think upon meeting me anyone would be able to see the genuine care I have for animals. I have a GORGEOUS 11 year old silver labrador named Gus. We have had him since he was nine months old and he has been spoiled ever since. He's my whole world. Unfortunately, he passed in June 2025 💔 I do look after the strays in my neighborhood. When you drop off & pick up your babies, I will have the strays behind my fence. Once your dogs are inside my house or back in your car, I let the strays out. I trust your dog(s), I do not trust the strays. I work M-F in Oxford. I leave @ 7:10am & arrive home at 5:10pm. Other than that, please message me with any questions you may have! I am located in Belden, MS. I offer outside play time with plush toys, tennis balls & more! If you’d like to meet me before booking, I would love that! Animals will always have the biggest place in my heart.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. Growing up I had three dogs, one being a labrador, a golden retriever and a plot hound for 16 years. My three dogs I had since they were puppies till they were seniors one was 21 years old. One was 11 and one was 16 when they passed. Now I have two pit terriers that I have had for three years now. I grew up, always taking care of them. And taking care of my friends and neighbors dogs all throughout the years if they went out of town on a vacation or if they were just gone for the weekend I would visit and take care of them for the time being. I have taken care of a bunch of cats as well, because my friends and family have many. I have a lot of experience with taking dogs on walks especially big dogs. My three dogs were almost all 70 to 80 pounds and I would take all three of them on walks at the same time. I really enjoy being around animals and being able to take care of them. As of right now I am not working so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate almost every day of the week. Time or day that you need depending on your schedule, just let me know and we can definitely work something out. Right now I do live at an apartment which does not allow animals. So the space is not animal friendly at the moment. But I am working on finding a more friendly space.

About: I’ve been working with animals since I was little and have grown up on a farm around a wide range of animals. Living on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals with different personalities and needs. I currently work at Pampered Paws and volunteer at animal shelters, giving me hands-on experience with both cats and dogs. I aspire to become a veterinarian, so I truly love every opportunity to care for animals. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I also have a very flexible schedule so I am able to change things around to accommodate you. I also ensure that my calendar is up to date so I can be confident that I can give your dogs all the love and attention they deserve. In my clients’ homes, I always respect the routines, rules, and boundaries they set so their pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I make sure to ask detailed questions about each pet’s schedule, behavior, preferences, and any special care needs so I can provide the best care possible. Safety and trust are very important to me, and I always treat both pets and homes with respect. In my own home, I follow the same approach by creating a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away.
