“Madison was a great sitter! She watched my dogs for almost 2 weeks and kept me updated and kept them entertained. She also left the house in great shape when I got back. Would absolutely recommend!”


“Stephanie was terrific with our 2 dogs, one is a deaf senior. We had to keep changing our return date and she was very accommodating and understanding. I appreciated all of the pictures and updates she sent. I was able to see how comfortable the dogs were with her.”


About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, and more. I grew up with a family dog and regularly pet-sat for friends and neighbors, giving me experience with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also raised my cat since she was just 5 weeks old, so I understand the patience and attention young animals need. I treat every pet like they’re my own:with love, reliability, and respect for their unique routines. I’m a college student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in or some extended company, I can easily work around your routine to make sure they’re well cared for and comfortable. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention, whether that’s playtime, walks, or simply companionship. I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and always pay close attention to their behavior and needs. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I treat your home with the same respect I would my own.

“This was my first time using Rover and Ashley did a great job taking care of my two pups. She sent me a picture while I was gone and sent me messages to let me know they were doing well. I will ask Ashley to stay again for my next trip.”

My favorite of all is the loyal mutt rescue family dog. I have had dogs all my life with breeds such as cockerspaniels and chihuahuas; but I learned by age 10 that there were soo many dogs that needed homes at the animal shelter and ever since that day I have rescued all my other fur babies. I have a knack for training dogs to do tricks and also potty training. I love all fur babies so if you have another fur baby besides dogs I will gladly care for them too. I have taken care of rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, gerbils, rats, snakes, fish and iguanas while friends and family have been out of town. Like I said I love all animals!

Friends, neighbors, and family always trust me to feed, walk, play with, and love their pets like they’re my own. My goal is to keep every pet happy, safe, and well cared for. Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly life. I plan my schedule around walks, feeding times, and play sessions to make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether I’m doing drop-ins or overnights, I treat it like a priority—not a side job. In a client’s home, I stick to the pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable—feeding, walking, and playing just like their owner would. I keep the space clean, follow any special instructions, and give plenty of attention. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, I make sure they have a quiet, safe space with lots of love and supervision.

About: I have cared for my dogs, cats, and horses since I was a little girl. My chihuahua was handicap for 15 years and I was her caretaker.

I’m reliable, caring, and always focused on making pets feel safe and loved in your absence. I’m currently attending Ole Miss and I am a Junior. I only have 1 in-person class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This will leave plenty of free time to take care of your puppy or cat!

About: I have been taking care of pets for 4+ years and never had a complaint. I love animals especially since I'm planning on going to school to be a vet.

Then on the weekends I usually don't have anything planned. So my schedule is very available throughout the day. Usually it all depends on what my client's prefer for their pets. Like if they usually leave there dog outside I have a fenced yard so I keep them out back. Or if they would rather keep their pet inside I don't mind having them inside. It really just varies.

“Bri was an excellent house sitter. We had to get a new sitter last minute because of unexpected changes over the holidays. Bri took on the assignment like she'd sat for us before and had it on her calendar for a month already. Two cats, a dog that had just had puppies and a house during the worst cold snap in 20 years and she did it all without a problem or complaint.”


About: Just like you, I prefer the company of a sweet loyal pupper or the hard-won affection of a sassy kitty-cat over Jen from the office. I own a small home aviary where I breed the smallest of exotic parrots- called Parrotlets- and hand raise them as companion pets. I will afford your furbaby all the respect, patience, and genuine care that you would yourself if you could be there, and I’ll explain to them that momma has to work to afford that next pair of shoes they’ll be eating the first chance they get. I own a small home aviary breeding exotic birds, but at this moment all my pairs are resting (I like them to rest between every clutch (egg laying) and so I have plenty of available time to tend to your most vulnerable and helpless of family members whenever you should need. I live on two acres of open land, but if boarding overnight I would of course prefer to crate indoors at bedtime and depending on the pet and the owner’s wishes I am not opposed to letting a well behaved furbaby run around the house like one of us at will in between potty breaks and walks/playtime outside. Each pet is different and requires their own parent-approved game plan. Plan
