“Kristie is the best! My dogs are very particular and have never been away from me! She sent pictures and videos of the happy and playing and even laying with her in bed! I would 100% recommend her for babysitting your fur babies! She is AMAZING !!!”
“If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your dogs like they’re his own, James is absolutely the one. From the moment we connected, he was kind, patient, and incredibly attentive—not just to me, but to my dogs as well. He kept in touch the entire time, sending updates that gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does because my dogs came back happy, relaxed, and clearly very attached to him. His setup is beautiful—plenty of safe, comfortable space indoors and outdoors for the dogs to enjoy. It honestly felt more like a little vacation for them than just boarding. I will be booking with James again and again—honestly, even when I don’t need boarding, just so my dogs can have a fun getaway with someone they love and trust. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Matt was wonderful! He took great care of our sweet pup for a week & sent great updates of him. It made going on vacation so much less stressful knowing our dog was being well taken care of and was having such a fun time! Thank you so much Matt!”
“I don't often need to board, so had some apprehension and lots of questions. Karmen made the entire experience as comfortable and stress free as possible. Picked up 2 very happy and healthy pups after 4 days of staying with Karmen.”
“My dog enjoyed her time playing with their dogs, and they even got her some Christmas present chew toys to play with. They kept me updated during my 7 day Christmas vacation and had no issues whatsoever. Will be happy to use their dog boarding services again!”
“Jeremy and his sweet wife were so good to my little one while I was away. She had a nice little vacation of her own. It was comforting to know she was in good hands and well cared for. Communication was excellent.”
“Our dog Spirit had a wonderful time with Cheryl and Gary they treated her just like she was theirs. They have a huge yard for plenty of exercise and play space. They were wonderful to work and communicate with. We will definitely call on them again.”
“Crissy, is absolutely AMAZING!! She had our gsp Lucy for 3 nights and sent many pics along the way. Lucy was happy, and delighted to spend time with miss crissy and play with puppies. If you’re in the Starkville area I highly recommend her services. Thank you crissy!”

About: What makes me different is that my experience isn’t just from watching dogs—it comes from truly caring for my own over many years. I went through the full journey of raising a puppy into her senior years, which taught me patience, responsibility, and deep respect for animals’ needs. Since then, I’ve felt naturally drawn to caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I currently have full availability after returning from college, which allows me to focus on pet care as a priority. I am flexible with scheduling and can provide care throughout the day, including mornings, evenings, and overnight stays when needed. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space while keeping pets on their usual feeding, walking, and play schedule. I pay close attention to instructions and details provided by the owner so each pet receives consistent, personalized care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they are supervised and given plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding times, and a stress-free space to relax. My goal is always to treat every pet like my own and ensure they feel secure and well cared for at all times.

About: Hello! My name is Hannah and I am an animal science major. Animals have always been my passion. From the time I was a little girl I have always loved animals! I have always had many pets!

I will make sure they are well fed, walked, given water, and all the snuggles. I am available during the mornings, afternoons, and night for visits, walks, playtime, etc. I am *unavailable* to do over night stays but will be more than willing to do drop in visits and treat your fur baby like my own. Pet care is a part of my daily life and has been for as long as I can remember. I take great pride into caring for others.

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was a young child! Even when I was barely four feet tall, I delighted in taking care of, feeding, walking, and of course playing with our pups! And now as an adult, I have 2 rescue dogs that I have trained up and loved on (one a senior dog and one a puppy). Caring for dogs truly gives me joy and allows me to pour into others and give back. We don’t deserve dogs, but I sure am grateful we get to share our lives with them! I work full time from home and have complete flexibility with my work schedule. Leaves me time to feed the dogs, let the dogs out in the back yard, and ample amount of play time! I have a fully fenced in back yard with over half an acre for the dogs to play. The outdoor space has ample amount of grass with plenty of squirrels to chase.
“Sadie’s friends Beau and Bella (black labs) we’re visiting and we needed day care for the week. Bobbie Jo was the perfect solution. She took such care of them and her property was the absolute dream place for the pups. They were tired and happy when I picked them up. She spoiled them so much I was worried they would want to stay!! Plus Bobbie Jo is a wonderful delight. I will always depend on her for taking care of my fur babies. Thank you Bobbie Jo!!!!”
“Guinness did very well & Karmen really put our minds at ease about leaving him with her during surgery. She has a good set up for pets, is responsive and loves animals! We plan to use her again the future.”
About: Dogs are my favorite. I know how to administer medication and calm them down if they are stressed Sr babies are also welcome. Love all I am a stay at home mom currently in school at home. This is a great way for me to take care of babies and earn money doing something I love. I have two fenced in areas. Babies are always watched while we’re outside at play and during potty time. They are never left alone or out of my sight.
About: I, and my dog Gucci enjoy being social and spending time with others. I have only one dog and Gucci enjoys social time with the dogs we board. I have a large yard away from busy roads, a our house is currently under construction and pet friendly. We enjoy at least two walks daily. Your pup will be safe and secure in our home and out and about with us on our walks. It's always a good idea and we prefer to have dogs meet before drop off for boarding. The meet-n-greet will ensure everybody gets along and stays safe. We look forward to speaking with you and sharing more details regarding our care of your fur baby. Please feel free to reach out for more info or to discuss special needs. Gary and I are retired and have the time needed o focus on your pup. We are both active and enjoy hiking and walking around our property. Our girl Gucci enjoys the company of other dogs and is mellow and easy going. Although I do not have a fenced yard, the property is large and a great distance from busy streets. I will ensure your pup is safe whether requiring a leashed or off-leash walk. I am accustomed to keeping track of dog Gucci and ensuring she is secure and I know where she is at all times.
About: I’ve always been around animals and naturally treat pets like family. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading animal behavior, especially with nervous, energetic, or stubborn pets lol. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to keep them comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m dependable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets attention instead of just “checking in and leaving.” I also know how important communication is, so I make sure owners stay updated with messages and pictures. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to being active throughout the day and handling responsibilities that require consistency and attention. I can work around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication reminders, and playtime. I understand pets need stability and patience, especially when their owners are away, so I make sure they get attention, exercise, and care instead of just being left alone. I also try to stay flexible for last-minute needs when possible. Cats have their own quiet, separate space where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed without needing to interact with dogs unless they’re comfortable doing so. I understand cats usually do best with calm environments, patience, and giving them space to adjust at their own pace. 🐱

“Samantha is wonderful! She was in contact with me and sent lots of photos. She babysat my two-month old puppy who has stitches from surgery. He’s not housebroken, either, as I’ve only had him three days and he came from the shelter. Nothing rattled her - not even when I came to her house butt naked to pick him up. Eleven out of eight stars - would recommend.”
About: I’ve cared for all sorts of animals since i was 10 years young, including cats, birds, goats, horses and of course dogs and puppies. I love big dogs especially pit bulls. I currently do not own a animal anymore because I couldn’t afford one after I had my daughter. So I decided why not babysit other people’s fur babies!? I’m currently a stay at home mommy so I will have a lot of play time with the fur babies. My schedule usually stays open on the weekdays. I don’t mind caring for your animal inside my home as long as you bring their cage, it’s preferred for sleep time if staying the night. I will provide snacks of your choice! I also help with potty training.

It is a posh vacation for all critters who visit us.
About: I’ve always loved animals. My family has only owned dogs and cats, but I was the go-to pet sitter at my old house for birds, rats, hamsters, fish, and more. What makes me different from other sitters is how involved and dedicated I am—I genuinely love being part of their care. I’ll happily look after any animal, no matter the size (or smell 🤣). I’d be thrilled to take care of your pets! I am currently working a part time job at Old Navy. Right now i’m not in school so i’ll be pretty open. Although I did just graduate high school meaning I’ll be dealing with college visits and stuff like that. I have 5 acred back yard which IS fenced in. We have a door that stays cracked open for our pets to easily come in and out when they want to. My family free feeds our pets but we can totally switch that if needed to.

About: I have experience caring for pets through helping family and friends with walking, feeding, and overnight care. In addition, I work in hospitality at a pet-friendly hotel, where I regularly interact with guest pets in a professional setting. When appropriate and with owner permission, I provide treats and assist guests with pet-related needs such as waste bags and general support to ensure a comfortable stay. These interactions have helped me become very comfortable around dogs of different sizes and temperaments. Through both personal and professional experience, I’ve learned the importance of being responsible, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s individual needs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, cared for, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I enjoy dedicating time in making sure pets are happy, healthy, and cared for. I am very organized and flexible, so I can easily adjust my schedule to meet the needs of both pets and their owners! I am very dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable environment for those I care for. I strictly comply with the pet owner's specific guidance when feeding, exercising, or taking care of any particular needs. I make it easy for pets in a their owners home to feel like themselves by keeping them on schedule, giving them companionship, and providing regular updates. Safety and comfort are priorities, and I'm always attentive to their needs!
About: It’s Haley J. here, and I am a pet enthusiast! I adore all animals and feel as if they should all be treated with the most love and care as possible. Just as if you were dropping your kiddos off for daycare, I can guarantee your pets will be in the safest, loving hands at my watch. I have lots of experience with pet sitting/boarding. Starting at only 15, my first job was walking all of the dogs in my neighborhood for my neighbors. Word spread, that then lead to me pet sitting almost every weekend! As I have gotten older, I have kept this as a side hobby and it is truly something that brings me so much joy. My favorite weekends are the ones spent sitting fur babies! I would be more than delighted to take care of all your pet sitting needs. Thank you for your time and I hope you can consider me while making your decision.

“If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your dogs like they’re his own, James is absolutely the one. From the moment we connected, he was kind, patient, and incredibly attentive—not just to me, but to my dogs as well. He kept in touch the entire time, sending updates that gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does because my dogs came back happy, relaxed, and clearly very attached to him. His setup is beautiful—plenty of safe, comfortable space indoors and outdoors for the dogs to enjoy. It honestly felt more like a little vacation for them than just boarding. I will be booking with James again and again—honestly, even when I don’t need boarding, just so my dogs can have a fun getaway with someone they love and trust. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Matt was wonderful! He took great care of our sweet pup for a week & sent great updates of him. It made going on vacation so much less stressful knowing our dog was being well taken care of and was having such a fun time! Thank you so much Matt!”
“I don't often need to board, so had some apprehension and lots of questions. Karmen made the entire experience as comfortable and stress free as possible. Picked up 2 very happy and healthy pups after 4 days of staying with Karmen.”
“My dog enjoyed her time playing with their dogs, and they even got her some Christmas present chew toys to play with. They kept me updated during my 7 day Christmas vacation and had no issues whatsoever. Will be happy to use their dog boarding services again!”
“Jeremy and his sweet wife were so good to my little one while I was away. She had a nice little vacation of her own. It was comforting to know she was in good hands and well cared for. Communication was excellent.”
“Our dog Spirit had a wonderful time with Cheryl and Gary they treated her just like she was theirs. They have a huge yard for plenty of exercise and play space. They were wonderful to work and communicate with. We will definitely call on them again.”
“Crissy, is absolutely AMAZING!! She had our gsp Lucy for 3 nights and sent many pics along the way. Lucy was happy, and delighted to spend time with miss crissy and play with puppies. If you’re in the Starkville area I highly recommend her services. Thank you crissy!”

“I left my dog bowls at home and she had some which was a life saver. She listened to all of my instructions and she responded very fast and sent pictures of Marley to me. I think I was more nervous than my Marley. Highly recommend and will use her in the future ?”
About: I have worked many years in animal rescue and rehabilitation, I can work with the newest puppy members or the senior fur baby. I can keep them on your schedule or keep it relaxed whatever you need. I can continue with leash, house/potty, crate, or any other trainings. I've worked with multiple animals breeds and personalities, all would be loved and cared for. I work from home so my schedule is pretty open. I'm near many walking trails to stretch our legs or many cozy places for the fur babies to cuddle up and take a nap. I have many toys and space for play, I can accommodate crates or other needed accessories to help your fur baby and create that home away from home feeling. I have oncle cat that has been raised around cats, dogs, children, and other small animals, he's friendly with everyone. I can do overnights or drop ins for those unexpected life moments. I'm near many parks and trails so your fur baby would get the exercise they need.
“First time using Rover and Gabi was great!! Sent pictures and loved on Georgia so we could have a great vacation and not have to worry about our baby dog! Will use again in the future!❤️”
About: What makes me different is that my experience isn’t just from watching dogs—it comes from truly caring for my own over many years. I went through the full journey of raising a puppy into her senior years, which taught me patience, responsibility, and deep respect for animals’ needs. Since then, I’ve felt naturally drawn to caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I currently have full availability after returning from college, which allows me to focus on pet care as a priority. I am flexible with scheduling and can provide care throughout the day, including mornings, evenings, and overnight stays when needed. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space while keeping pets on their usual feeding, walking, and play schedule. I pay close attention to instructions and details provided by the owner so each pet receives consistent, personalized care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they are supervised and given plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding times, and a stress-free space to relax. My goal is always to treat every pet like my own and ensure they feel secure and well cared for at all times.
About: I’ve always been around animals and naturally treat pets like family. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading animal behavior, especially with nervous, energetic, or stubborn pets lol. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to keep them comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m dependable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets attention instead of just “checking in and leaving.” I also know how important communication is, so I make sure owners stay updated with messages and pictures. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to being active throughout the day and handling responsibilities that require consistency and attention. I can work around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication reminders, and playtime. I understand pets need stability and patience, especially when their owners are away, so I make sure they get attention, exercise, and care instead of just being left alone. I also try to stay flexible for last-minute needs when possible. Cats have their own quiet, separate space where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed without needing to interact with dogs unless they’re comfortable doing so. I understand cats usually do best with calm environments, patience, and giving them space to adjust at their own pace. 🐱
