About: I totally understand the anxiety of your pet being in someone else’s care. My attentiveness, playfulness, punctuality, and respect ensures that your pet is genuinely cared for. Whether it’s a walk or pet sitting while you’re away, your pet is in good hands. I work remotely and can work with you to choose the ideal times for me to take care of your pets! I have reliable transportation and understand that pets need their activity and food at consistent times. When I am petsitting, I am sure to care for the pet’s needs (food, water, potty, play). I make sure to leave the space how I found it, sweep up litter, clean bowls, etc. I ensure that the door is locked when I leave. I make sure no pets run out the door when I am coming in. Your pets are my focus! I am also happy to bring in your mail, bring in packages, and water plants; just let me know!
“Sara was great! Ace is a big fan! Will definitely use her again in the future. Highly recommended!!”
About: I love working with animals! I worked in a vet clinic as a Pet Care Specialist, where I took care of animals boarding in the clinic and those who attended daycare. I was a Veterinary Assistant prior to moving to Mississippi, and have worked with dogs and cats of varying dispositions. Currently, I am a PhD student at the University of Mississippi! I am currently in graduate school, and am generally available early in the morning and the evenings. I am available to working on the weekends as well! I intend to cater to each individual animal's needs and to provide the best care possible! I want your pets to feel comfortable and safe with me!
About: I’ve cared for both cats and dogs for over a decade and understand that each pet has their own unique personality and needs. From energetic walks and play sessions to quiet companionship, special diets, and medication routines, I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments. Whether your pet is shy, playful, or senior in age, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I’m able to adjust to their needs and provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow any instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, walks, medication, or playtime, and treat your home with the same respect I give my own. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
“William took such good care of my pup! He communicated before, during, and after his visit that eased my mind and showed me that my pup was happy during his visit! If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet I highly recommend William, he genuinely cares for animals!”
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!
“Mason went above and beyond last night to take care of THREE dogs! A wreck in our area made the normal route not passable. Mason found another way to get to our home. She always takes the best care of our fur babies❤️”
“Lauren was fantastic!! She took great care of Micah and made sure that she did everything we asked to make her comfortable and take some stress off of us!!! Very timely and responsive and very communicative!”

13. Hannah J.
“Hannah is an ideal pet sitter! I use her regularly for my three cats and one dog. One of my cats is special needs - she is blind and a diabetic. Hannah gives her insulin injections 2x a day and sits by her while she eats her prescription food so the other two cats don’t eat it. She walks the dog 2x a day and throws balls for her to retrieve, which is our dog’s favorite game. Hannah is very intuitive about all the animals; she makes sure they have lots of snuggle time as well as play time and calls me if she has any concerns. I have complete peace of mind when my pets are in Hannah’s care.”
