About: Hi! I’m Shalesa, a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I grew up around dogs and currently have two fur babies of my own, Laila and Deuce, who are a huge part of my family. I previously worked as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic, where I gained valuable knowledge about pet care, health, and safety. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have regularly pet sat for family members and friends over the years, giving me experience with puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and dogs with different temperaments and needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while you’re away. Whether your pup loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to treating them like one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. However, I have the flexibility to come home during my lunch break for potty breaks, walks, feeding, and check-ins if needed. Outside of work hours, I am available for morning, evening, and weekend care. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care while their owners are away. 🐾💕 I live in a pet friendly apartment with 2 friendly furr babies, I have a lot of space. We frequently go to the dog park to get exercise and take long walks. 🐾💕

“My dogs love Lauren! Super reliable and always has great communication! Our family is so grateful for her”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. From afternoon visits to month-long stays, I’ve done it all. I also have experience caring for elderly and sick animals, including my own when she was diagnosed with cancer. I’m patient and kind towards all animals. I adopted two cats in Sept. of 2024 and adore them so much! I work part time at an ice cream shop in Jackson. I have free time in the mornings and most evenings due to the later shop hours. I’m open to any house sits and will stay with your pet! First off, I remain calm and easy when meeting an animal. If I’m able, I like to leave a belonging of mine so they can get used to my scent! I’m a very laidback person so lounging around the house and going out for a walk with your dog is perfect. I love giving pets and cuddling on the couch.

“Laura is a great sitter! She was prompt, communicated, and followed instructions to a tee. She went above and beyond to make sure me and my pup were comfortable and satisfied. I hope to work with her again in the future!”

About: As a pet owner, I am very aware of the responsibilities we tend to neglect during our working hours or general time away from home. Whether it be exercise, bathing, bathroom breaks, or just tender love and care; I can provide services to assist.

About: Hi there! My name is Olivia and I have been a dog sitter for 10+ years, but an animal lover for my entire life. I would love the opportunity to care for your baby like they are my own while you are away. I have an 11 year old Yorkie named Bella who stills plays all day with the energy of a puppy. I am only able to host small dogs within my home and my baby would love to have a friend her size running around here. However, I am happy to care for any type/size dog within your home and for walks. I am currently working only two days a week so I have plenty of availability to care for your babies like they are my own! I have a fenced in yard with lots of area for your pup to run around! I also have a stroller available for any small/medium dog that is unable to do a full walk so they can still be included in the experience!

About: I had 1 dog for 2 years, and I have very flexible availability. I make sure your dog(s) enjoy their stay and time with me. Dog sitting is my passion. I love dogs. They are so fun to be with and play with. Also, I love to see when dogs wag their tails and lick their tongue out when you give them a treat when you are teaching them a trick and they get it right. My work schedule varies, but I am very flexible with my other job, so I can try my best to work with you and your dog(s) care. I don't have a fenced neighborhood, but I have an extra crate and bed for your dog(s) if they stay with me. My dog is super friendly and loves all other animals.

About: I have taken care of my dog since I was a kid have been around different dog breeds my whole life I’m excited to see your pet. I’m currently using this as my job I’m free for house sitting and walks through out the whole week. I’d love to come out and play with your pets. I’d love to be able to get to know your pet and take them on loving walks give them plenty of treats if diet allows it. Multiple pets is not a problem for me either.

About: I've taken care of a wide variety of cats and dogs from a young age. Even working at a pet store and under the wing of professional animal care. I am currently in college and can accept care during weekends and some weekdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays are good from mornings til 2pm. Mondays and Wednesdays after 4pm - 8pm ( Fridays Are okay on base to base schedule) I stay in a dorm, so home sitting wouldn't work for me. Working for my clients your pet will be safe and well taken care of.

“My dog loved Thomas during the meet and greet, and Thomas seemed very astute in wanting to learn the necessary information to care for her. Unfortunately, my dog was in a bad mood when he did come for a walk, and she was not cooperative, but Thomas tried very hard and handled it very professionally. I appreciate his understanding about my dog's needs and willingness to continue working with us and to come back and sit again with some new provisions in place to make it go smoother. He seems very knowledgeable about dogs and he's got a very calm presence. So far, I can definitely recommend him.”
