About: I have owned cats and dogs my entire life, and have experience in walking/tending to all ages and sizes of dogs. I am available 24/7 and have reliable transportation. I am a college student home for my summer break. I currently do not have another job, so I am available 7 days a week. I am able to walk and size or age dogs, as well as care for them. I also am very skilled in taming dogs of all varieties.
“Madison is a great sitter, very attentive and accommodating. I hired her for a week to watch my 2 month old kitten and judging on the photos she sent he loved her company. I would book with Madison again in the future!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Stephanie exceeded our expectations! She made us feel better about having to leave our dog at home for a long time, played with him in the yard, and made sure he was taken care of inside! She was very attentive and took such good care of our baby! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Jennifer was fantastic! We had never used a pet sitter before, and we really lucked out. She was very communicative and sent lots of updates, including photos and video. She obviously really likes animals, and what’s more, our cat, who’s usually shy and hides from strangers, really liked her! He came out and even played some. We won’t hesitate to book again instead of boarding. Highly recommended!”
“Sasha did an excellent job with our two boys while we were away. She went way above expectation, sent pictures at every visit, and kept us up to date with how they were doing. Will 100% rebook with her when we need someone to care for our dogs, and would recommend her to anyone in need of a caretaker for their pets.”
“She was on time, friendly, and immediately made friends with Ace the Dog. She seems great with my dog and at ease with him. Knowledgeable. I'm Looking forward to using her services again soon!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. Dogs are definitely my favorite pet! I make sure all dogs are taken care of effectively and efficiently! I am currently working a part time job, so I’ll be able to drop in throughout the day if needed! I am also very flexible with staying over night if needed! At my home, my dogs tend to go where they want in the house. They are my best friends! I am able to crate your dog if needed! I can walk them wherever you need me to!
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 have always had a strong connection and love for all animals and enjoy spending time with them. I have also had experience taking care of neighbors dogs while they have been on trips. 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! I would make friends with your pet allowing them trust me and spend time playing and cuddling with them. I would respect your home and space while being with your baby! I will follow all instructions and aim to make your pet feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years and have looked after dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I’m comfortable with puppy training, giving medication, and making sure senior pets feel comfortable. 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 grew up on a farm so I have spent my entire life taking care of animals I watch my friends and family’s dogs whenever they need ! I am currently a student at ole miss and have classes Monday-Friday typically I am in classes Monday wensday and Fridays from 9:00am-12:00pm and Tuesdays and Thursdays 7:00am-9:00am I live in an apartment on the third floor so caring for your animals here means multiple walks throughout the day, and going to the dog park daily as well.
About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends pets before, for 4 years. I absolutely love helping people with their fur-babies whenever I am needed:) I am currently working part-time in tupelo, so I am available throughout the week!! I am also available on the weekends, I typically work 12-10pm. When I am pet sitting at someone’s home, I feel better because the fur-baby is more relaxed at their own home versus my home, where they have not been and may feel anxious.
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. If they need a bath, I will give them a bath. I can give medication if needed. Im currently working part time, but I have plenty of time to play and walk them as long you are able to contact me beforehand to see what I can do. I have three friendly dogs if something happens I can care for them at home. I can crate them if needed. I can keep you updated throughout the day if it helps you throughout your day too.
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
