“Nicolette house/pet sat for us for 4 days. She came over to meet Lucy and Tanner a few days before our trip. She asked so many great questions, took notes and was very thorough. I was impressed right away! I felt confident she was going to take good care of L&T ,as well as, our house. And she did that and then some!! She sent pics and even texted me when she saw someone in the backyard. She wanted to make sure they were supposed to be here. She is responsible, conscientious AND has an awesome personality!!😁 I can’t rave about her enough! I give Nicolette an overall A++++ !!❤️”

About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including senior dogs and anxious pets. My Chihuahua was a senior when I started, and I currently care for my anxious wiener dog. I provide patient, loving, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I help my roommate care for her elderly orange tabby every day and provide full-time care for him during her monthly week-long travels. During summer and winter holidays, I dedicate my time to caring for my wiener dog, who has severe anxiety and anxious attachment. I’m experienced in creating consistent, comforting routines to ensure pets feel secure and loved, no matter their needs. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. I follow your specific instructions to maintain a familiar routine and create a stress-free environment for your pet. I keep the home clean, ensure all food, water, and medications are managed correctly, and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority, and I strive to make them feel loved and secure in their own space.

“Our two dogs and two cats were truly loved and pampered. William did a fabulous job updating us with pictures and how things were going. Would definitely recommend this fine young man!”


13. Laney N.

“Laney was absolutely fantastic! Our pups immediately fell in love with her, and she cared for them as if they were hers. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a kind, caring, and very thorough caretaker. She became part of our family and we look forward to leveraging her services again.”

About: I have been pet sitting for about 6 years now and have loved every second of it! There is nothing more important to me than making sure your pet is cared for and loved the way they deserve to be! Animals are such a gift and I just love getting to love on them! I am currently a student at Ole Miss and have a very flexible schedule! I am available during the week as well as weekends and can be flexible to fit whatever needs you might have! I live in a small house with room for 1-2 pets at a time! My neighborhood has grassy areas for pets to play and use the restroom and lots of room for walks!


15. Zach W.

“Zach was great with my babies. They’re a little skittish around guys sometimes, but Zach won them over! He was great with communication and photos. Best of all, my pups were so happy! Thanks, Zach! We’ll be rebooking!”


16. Elizabeth N.
“Elizabeth is one of the best caregivers for my Aussiedoodle! She’s always very responsive and willing to help out wherever necessary. She’ll even check in on my cats! I cannot recommend her enough to care for your animals!”


17. Sara M.
About: I have two German shorthair pointers at home and have cared for them since i was 8. I love them with my whole heart and i would treat your dogs as such! Dogs and caring for animals is something i’ve always enjoyed doing and id make sure your dog is super happy and always gets quality time. I am a college student here at Ole Miss and would LOVE to spend some time with your puppies! I am available usually the whole week i have class online and am staying here in oxford over the summer! I’d love to take care of your dogs whenever u might need. Id be offering care for your dogs by spending quality time with them, feeding them and adhering to any of your dogs needs, walking them and getting them some active time! I’m super open to any suggestions on how I can help care for your dog and make sure they’re ok when you return! Waking dogs would be my favorite as it gets them exercise and gets them out of the house for a little


18. Morgan B.


“Morgan was fantastic and we would love to have her watch our pups again!! One of our pups takes a while to warm up, but she stuck with him and soon they were best friends. She also went above and beyond making sure that one of our pups got his antibiotic pills that we were not expecting to have to administer. She also sent us pics while we are away which made us feel great knowing they were being cared for!!”


19. Kaleigh M.
“Kaleigh is great with my 2 pups! We never worry leaving them with her and they are always so happy to see her! It makes me feel at ease and happy that they love her so much!”


20. Abigail B.
