“Margaux was prompt and so communicative! Our little old many yorkie has dementia and is losing his eye sight and she was so sweet to him and kept us informed the whole time. We will be using her again 🩵”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since high school big and small! I’ve had big dogs my whole life, and am looking to help out by taking care of dogs after the loss of my Great Pyrenees Douglas after 13 amazing years. With this I have experience with handling senior dogs, including large senior dogs. I understand that senior dogs often need a little more love, and I am here to provide that! I’ve also had experience caring for hard of hearing and visually impaired dogs! I am currently a senior at Ole Miss (this is my final semester) I have wide availability as I am only taking 9 credit hours, and am extremely flexible! I live in an apartment by myself with no other pets. I have access to a dog park steps away, and have plenty of open fields and areas to walk dogs around my neighborhood.

“This is my first time using Rover, and Carrie has been amazing. She’s very communicative, patient with the kitties, and happy to accommodate special requests. I would definitely recommend her!”

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 walking them around the neighborhood, 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 have a very flexible schedule, and am 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 have been pet sitting/ dog walking for almost 7 years now, and I absolutely love it! As a huge animal person, I can confidently say that pets are my passion! I want to love your furbaby like I love my own! I would love to take care of any needs you may have. Feel free to ask any questions! I am a junior at Ole Miss. I mostly have online classes, so I am free a lot! I am also free for overnight housesitting needs! I have 2 dogs back home in Georgia and I miss them so much! They are the happiest pups ever! My roommates and I have a Golden Retriever that we adopted last year! As far as boarding and doggy daycare goes, he would love to play with your pup, but they can also be easily separated if needed! I have so much love for pets, and would love to share so much love to yours!

About: I have been loving and caring for animals since I could walk. They have always had a special spot in my heart and life. I have always considered my animals my best friends. I would do anything for them. My favorite thing is to give my furry friends all the attention they deserve. I truly believe animals save us in a way no person can. This is why I love taking care and getting to know many different fur babies. I will give my all into making sure your best friend is comfortable and cared for, because animals deserve the best that this world has to offer. Pet care fits into my daily routine when I spend the first hour of my day making sure my animals are taken care of before all. I care for pets in my home by feeding them twice a day(or the schedule you have set). I have a big, spacious, fenced in, backyard with an insulated doghouse, shaded turf and many toys for their enjoyment. I have a lot of time to spend with them as well; seeing as I am home most of the time. I have 2 dogs of my own and a cat. They all get spoiled every day and live a very happy and fulfilling life.

“Elena was so sweet with Kota! She was very professional and communicative and even made a VERY early morning stop to accommodate us. We will call her again!”

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 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 have been pet sitting for over 5 years. I am a dog mom myself and love to love on other people's babies! Hotty Toddy! I am a full time student and pet sit on the side! I have a lot of availability during the day! I am typically free all day and weekends. I treat all pets as if they are my own! I love animals and have my entire life. I will take amazing care of your babies!

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs my entire life, including my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to neighbors and friends. Over the years, I’ve dog-sat countless times and have plenty of experience making sure dogs are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s taking them to the park, going on walks, playing outside, or simply spending time giving them love and attention, I genuinely enjoy every minute of it. I’ve always had a special connection with animals, and I like to joke that I’m a bit of a dog whisperer! I seem to attract dogs everywhere I go, and they naturally gravitate toward me. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. When your dog is in my care, I treat them just like my own, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and care. You can count on me to follow your pet’s routine, respect their individual needs, and keep you updated so you have peace of mind while you’re away. At the end of the day, I want every dog I care for to feel like they’re spending time with a friend, not just a sitter. I can’t wait to meet your pup and give them all the love they deserve! My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets! I have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:00–8:50 AM and Monday through Thursday from 11:00 AM–12:15 PM, but outside of those times, I’m generally available most days for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and other pet care needs. I’m also happy to accommodate last-minute and same-day requests whenever possible, and I make it a priority to respond to booking requests quickly. I understand that life can get busy and plans can change, so I do my best to be dependable, accommodating, and available whenever your furry family members need some extra love and attention. My priority is always making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I want them to feel right at home, whether that means letting them cuddle up on the couch, relax on the bed, or find their own cozy spot to nap. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s personality, habits, and usual routines to help them feel as comfortable as possible while their owner is away. At the same time, I take safety very seriously and will always make sure pets are in a secure environment, keep a close eye on them, and avoid situations that could put them at risk. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect any house rules or boundaries you have for your pet, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is being treated like my own and is in caring, responsible hands.

“Very communicative and spent extra time with them!”

About: I have owned reptiles, amphibians, dogs, cats, birds and other furry critters my whole life. My passion really does live with animals so honestly, this is more of an opportunity to spend time with animals for me and I am hoping after college to work in the animal behavior field. Take care of it fits into my routine, especially in times after six but other times could work because I never work later than six. When I am free of work I am completely available I have a fenced backyard and I am able to take them on as many walks necessary because we have two parks nearby. My pets are all super friendly and sweet however if a pet isn’t comfortable around others I do have another house five minutes away I could always go to instead so either works!

About: I am currently a college student away from home who constantly misses his dog. I’ve had dogs ever since I was born and I have always loved taking them on walks and playing with them.

The only times I’m unavailable are Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. I provide care by following routines, ensuring safety, and maintaining a clean, comfortable environment. I prioritize the pet's well-being, offer regular attention, and communicate updates to the owner.
