About: I’ve been trusted to feed, walk, play with, and love on pets all my life! I grew up in a house with medium-large dogs (labs, Australian Sheppards, border collies), and got my own small dog 10 years ago. I also adopted multiple cats 2 years ago, and I can handle some reptiles, as I had a pet turtle for over 10 years. I’m an animal lover that will treat your fur baby as if it’s my own! I’m currently working on research this summer as I finish my doctoral degree, so I have a very flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting stays! I will care for your pets as if they are my own while respecting your house rules. I can easily crate animals as needed, monitor their furniture use, make sure I abide by their potty schedule, refresh their water bowls regularly, etc.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have experience with all kinds of pets, personalities, and energy levels. My family has 5 dogs and 2 cats, and I love dogs so much I got one of my own too! I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, multi-pet homes, and making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and love sending updates and cute pictures along the way! 🐾 I just graduated from Ole Miss but will be in Oxford till May 2027! Since I have a puppy of my own, I try to keep my schedule open. That means I have lots of availability! I will follow all guidelines that the client gives and put your animal first! I am responsible and will make sure they get the care they need!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up caring for 5 dogs, a cat, a tortoise, and plenty of other pets over the years, so being around animals feels very natural to me. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always try to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve helped take care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors by feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or older, I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m currently in class Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 9am–12pm, and I work Friday and Saturday nights, but outside of those times I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, playing with them, or just giving them company and attention while you’re away. I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in any environment. At our house during college, we’ve had 3 cats, so I’m very used to caring for animals daily and understanding different personalities and routines. I’ve also helped take care of foster dogs from the animal shelter, which taught me patience and how to work with pets that may be nervous or need extra attention. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of love, attention, and proper care.

Brianna was AMAZING!!! Just moving to the area, we had to find a new rover very quickly and were so beyond lucky to have found Brianna. Our dog was so comfortable with her and she goes above and beyond to treat our dog like her own. She was so communicative throughout the entire visit and so respectful of our home. Would recommend her to absolutely everyone!!

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I've been pet sitting since I was a freshman in high school. Over the years, I've cared for pets with a wide range of personalities, needs, and routines. I genuinely love spending time with animals and strive to provide dependable, attentive care that helps pets feel comfortable and gives owners peace of mind. Whether it's playtime, walks, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I'll treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own. I am currently available seven days a week and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care for your pets at all times! I live in a spacious condo in The Reserve in Oxford, which provides plenty of room for pets to feel comfortable and at home. While my backyard is not fenced, it offers a large open area for supervised outdoor time, and I currently have no immediate neighbors, creating a quiet environment for pets to enjoy. Inside, there is ample space for dogs and cats to relax, play, and move around freely based on their individual personalities and comfort levels. I also have experience caring for pets in my home, including housing and caring for one of my roommate's dogs for an extended period this past May. Whether your pet enjoys being active outdoors, playing inside, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, I am committed to providing a safe, attentive, and loving experience that helps them feel comfortable while you're away.

About: I am used to dogs both big and small, of all ages as I have 2 little Havanese dogs who are so sweet and easy, and used to have a yellow lab- making my experience with dogs diverse and fun. I have spent time watching neighbors’ dogs. I enjoy walking and taking care of all of the sweet dogs in town and would love to help others in my community! I’m currently unemployed and looking for a job during college. I am mostly free every day of the week and would love to make money while helping others. I have a large yard with a fence and 2 little dogs that would love to spend time with your puppies! I do not have a crate at my house but know how to handle one at others’ houses.

About: Hi, my name is Lindsey, and I can't wait to meet your pet! I've been around animals my entire life, from cats to dogs, and have provided excellent care to captive animals such as wolves, bobcats, and more. I have about two years of professional dog grooming experience. I have degrees in environmental science, and am currently a postdoc researcher at the University of Mississippi. I took a break from doing Rover during graduate school, so my profile has been largely inactive since ~2019, but now that I have a normal schedule again, I'm back at it! My work schedule is generally flexible, so I can work around it to fit the best possible care for your pet. There is a dog park at my apartment I love to use, and the rail trail here in Oxford backs right up to my complex making longer walks convenient. I know I want the absolute best care for my own dog, so I promise the best care for your pets as long as they are with me! My work schedule is generally 8:30 - 4:30, with at least one remote workday per week. Usually, I have one day per week that I do field work, which makes for a longer workday, but I always know in advance so I can plan accordingly. On a typical day, I walk my own dog from 7:00-7:30am, come home for a walk at lunch around 12:00pm, and do a longer walk around 5:00pm with a short bedtime potty break around 9:00pm (sometimes earlier or later depending on how late we're up!) As Aldo has gotten older, he generally prefers shorter walks/hikes, but I am always flexible to make the length and difficulty of walks match your pets' needs. Aldo is crate-trained, and I still have a spare large crate to use if needed. Safety is my biggest concern, especially because he will get into any crumbs or trash can if given the opportunity. I have a security cam set up in my home that I check remotely to make sure pets are doing well throughout the day. I do not have multiple pets out in the living areas together when unsupervised, unless they're very familiar with one another.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every dog. I’m attentive to details like medication schedules, potty training consistency, and providing calm companionship for older pets who need extra reassurance and care. Im currently a student at The University of Mississippi and have a pretty lenient schedule. I do not work any other job so I am mainly free other than when I am in class. My home offers plenty of space for your fur babies to run around, I have dog food, treats, and toys in my house if needed. I also have a spacious yard for your puppy to run around in and play. I can promise you that your dog will feel right at home in mine!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life — from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets — and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats, including training energetic puppies, providing gentle care for older pets, and everything in between. I love staying active, so you can count on plenty of walks, park adventures, and playtime to keep your furry friend happy and healthy. Beyond that, I pride myself on being attentive, reliable, and treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy pup or offering comfort and routine to a senior companion, I make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and at ease while you’re away. Caring for pets is such a natural part of my day — I honestly can’t imagine life without it! I’m a student, and my classes are only on Thesdays and Thursdays from 9-10:15 AM and 4-5:15 PM, which leaves me plenty of time to focus on spending quality time with your pets the rest of the week. I offer boarding during both weekdays and weekends, so your up or kitty will always have company and care while you’re away. I love starting the day with morning walks or park trips to get some energy out, and in the evenings we wind down with another walk, some playtime, or extra cuddles. I’m also happy to stop by your home for drop-in visits — whether that’s feeding your cat, letting your dog out for a potty break, or giving them some attention while you’re busy. I really do treat every pet like they’re my own — making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re gone. When pets stay with me, they become part of the household! I live in a cozy house with two friendly roommates — and we don’t have any pets of our own, so your furry friend gets all the love and attention they deserve. I have a big yard that’s perfect for stretching legs and sniffing around; while it’s intended, I always use a leash to make sure every outing is safe and secure. Inside, pets have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel right at home. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll make sure their usual routine stays consistent. I can handle feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, giving medicine, and of course, plenty of affection. I know every pet has their own personality and preferences, so I always take the time to learn what makes them happiest and most comfortable. Whether it’s belly rubs, fetch in the yard, or quiet snuggles on the couch, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved and cared for wherever they are. ❤️

About: I have had animals my whole life and have experience caring for a diverse range of pets, including dogs, cats, and other small animals of various sizes, ages, and temperaments. Even with a full-time job, I prioritize pet care by managing my time efficiently. I have flexibility in my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention they need for walks, feeding, play, and companionship. In a client's home, I maintain the same level of care by adhering to their pet’s routine and ensuring their environment stays clean and comfortable. I provide regular updates to the owner and follow any specific instructions they leave. My priority is to make pets feel safe and happy, whether they’re with me or in their own home.

About: Ive been around animals my whole life and have had and cared for all types of dogs and cats. I’ve helped out friends, family, and neighbors with everything from walks and feeding to overnight stays. I’m good with puppies, high-energy dogs, and older pets that need a little extra care. I’m super reliable and will make sure your pet feels comfortable and taken care of while you’re gone. I’m currently doing online school and working at the country club once or twice a week for a few hours so I’m home the majority of the day and have a super flexible schedule. My boyfriend who I live with is also always in and out regardless of his schedule so one of us is pretty much always home! I have two supper friendly and well trained dogs I consider my children. I crate trained my dogs as puppies but don’t use them anymore and let them on the couch and sleep in the bed, but would follow whatever rules you have for your pets in your home.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. Labs, Sheppards, goldens, etc I love them all. I’m very active and love to go on a nice walk or throw the ball with the dog! I currently have a block schedule for school. Only Tuesday / Thursday classes so I tend to have a pretty clear schedule on other days. I love to go on walks outside so it would be easy for me to incorporate a dog into that. I feed dogs and play with them or walk them. Dogs typically like me and feel comfortable with me around. I am clean and dependable.
