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: 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: 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!
“Brianna was amazing! She was very communicative and made sure my dog had everything he needed. Will definitely be using her again in the future. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!!”

“Being the 1st time in 12 years I had to find someone to care for our 12 yr old who is diabetic and blind. Finding Graham was a blessing. I was gone 5 days and received pictures and updates a couple of times daily. I could not have asked for any better, thank you Graham for what you do…”

“Mason is the best! She communicates well, takes super cute pictures when she visits, and is very dependable! Mason is also very skilled at ensuring my cat, Phoebe, gets her oral medication (which no cat enjoys, but my cat is particularly tricky about fake swallowing lol). I know Phoebe is in great hands when Mason takes care of her, and I know Phoebe is looking forward to playing with Mason when I go out of town in the future!”


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.
About: I’ve had a lifelong love of animals, and over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience in many areas of pet care. I’ve house sat, walked dogs of all sizes, and done regular check-ins for meal times and pee breaks. When I’m home, I’m often trusted to care for my mom’s colleagues’ pets—many of whom are doctors with busy schedules—which has taught me to be responsible, reliable, and flexible. Now that I’m away at school, I’m excited to bring that same level of care to your pets. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with cats, my comfort with dogs, and my genuine desire to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved as if they were my own. I’m a student, so whenever I’m not in class, I’m home and available to care for pets. That means I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, check-ins, playtime, and cuddles. My flexible schedule makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine and give your pets the attention they deserve. In my townhome, pets have access to a safe, comfortable space with lots of attention and love. My complex has fenced-in play areas perfect for letting dogs run and play, as well as nice trails nearby for daily walks and exercise. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely—whether that’s meal times, walks, play, or just giving them company—so they feel secure and cared for in their own environment.

About: I have grown up with and around animals my whole entire life. I have pet sat since I was 16 and I have loved it. I am currently a student at Ole Miss and have classes for about 3 hours a day. I also babysit around 3 hours a day but apart from that I am very flexible I currently have no pets, so if your pet has issues with other animals it will be no problem! I will provide excellent care for your pet

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.
About: I have been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve had numerous different types of animals, even exotic ones! I would love to watch y’all’s furry babies. Thank you all! I’m available week days and weekends due to a limited work and school schedule so I have plenty of time to cater to pets needs. My neighborhood has a fenced in dog park that pets love to run around in or if your pet likes to snuggle I’m so down to cuddle.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. Growing up I had three dogs, one being a labrador, a golden retriever and a plot hound for 16 years. My three dogs I had since they were puppies till they were seniors one was 21 years old. One was 11 and one was 16 when they passed. Now I have two pit terriers that I have had for three years now. I grew up, always taking care of them. And taking care of my friends and neighbors dogs all throughout the years if they went out of town on a vacation or if they were just gone for the weekend I would visit and take care of them for the time being. I have taken care of a bunch of cats as well, because my friends and family have many. I have a lot of experience with taking dogs on walks especially big dogs. My three dogs were almost all 70 to 80 pounds and I would take all three of them on walks at the same time. I really enjoy being around animals and being able to take care of them. As of right now I am not working so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate almost every day of the week. Time or day that you need depending on your schedule, just let me know and we can definitely work something out. Right now I do live at an apartment which does not allow animals. So the space is not animal friendly at the moment. But I am working on finding a more friendly space.
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’m a freshman in college and a lifelong dog lover with two dogs of my own. I’ve grown up caring for dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m very comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and giving lots of love and attention. As a freshman in college, my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m free after 12 most days and also have availability in the mornings between my classes for walks, drop-ins, or check-ins. I love being able to break up my day with some puppy time! I’m also available most afternoons and weekends, so I can easily work around your dog’s routine! I’m very attentive to routines and will follow your instructions closely — whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, crate training, or specific house rules. I’ll also send regular updates and pictures so you can feel totally at ease while you’re away!! I have two dogs of my own and have watched many dogs back home so im very reliable!

Hannah was wonderful with my cats and gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She was reliable, thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they felt safe and comfortable. I really appreciated the updates and her attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy sitter.

I hesitate to review Mason because I’m worried she will become so popular that I won’t be able to book her in the future. She is a great communicator and very dependable. I know that my cats will be just as loved and cared for when she visits as if I were home to do so myself! Mason also takes the best pictures (like straight up glamour shots) to send - clearly my cats love her too. I can’t say enough good things about her.

Stephanie was genuinely attentive and adaptable to my needs. She responded well to my cat’s unique personality, and it was heartwarming to see my usually shy male cat begin to open up to her so quickly—she treated her with real love and kindness. I am truly grateful!
