About: I don’t have any special training or pet sitting experiences, but I’ve always had a pet and I taught my cat a few tricks. I work part-time at a deli so I have a solid chunk of time for pet care responsibilities. I typically work from 10-2/4, but it’s flexible. I have a three bedroom house and a decent yard, the yard is not fenced in, but the neighborhood is and it’s very safe. Plenty of space indoors and outdoors for another pet.

About: The photos on my profile are all of the pets I have taken care of while being on this app! ☺️ A little bit about me: My mom has worked as an assistant at a Vet Clinic for my entire life and I was always up there with her. I’ve done a lot of volunteer work for them and I have experience with all kinds of animals. I have 2 pets of my own. My dog, kenai, and my cat, faline. I tend to my animals every need and make sure they are happy and healthy. I am very responsible, caring and I am willing to prove that to you and your pets. I am currently a college student, so I am available all day Friday-Sunday and weekdays will vary! Feel free to message and we could possibly work out our schedules. I also recommend to look over my prices before attempting to book! :) Your pets are more than welcome in my home! I completely understand not wanting to drop your pet off in a random home that you have never seen, so feel free to stop by! Leave me a list of all the specifics and I will make it my top priority to see to your pets needs.

About: I have taken care of many kinds of dogs. I am always excited to take care of dogs. They are my best friend. I love them. I am willing to work Full-time every day of the week. I will board dogs if needed. I will take care of them like they are my own. I will give them their medications if needed. I will walk them as far as the owner wants me to walk them. Dogs are always welcome.

About: I've taken care of dogs for most of my adult life. From pups to seniors I've always had a warm sense of love for our four legged friends! I’m mostly available on weekends. With lots of time for walks and playtime from sunrise to sunset. I run on weekends so active pups are more than welcome to join! Those relaxed pups will be met with cold ac and chill vibes! I have a fenced in backyard for any pup for lots of outdoor time! Food schedule flowed if specified. Lots of playtime! Crates will need to be provided.

“Sara did a great job during the boarding. She sent many of pictures and videos so I can enjoy my trip without any worries. Grett looked enjoying and comfortable during the stay! I’ll definitely book the service again :) Thanks Sara!”

About: I have a half acre fenced in yard, a 20x10 run pen, have fostered senior dogs and puppies for the shelter near us, I have worked with trainers before on how to get tips for our own dogs so I can be better equipped to care of others as well. I can also care for almost any animal at my house while you need a sitter. Small to tall! (Sorry I don’t have the set up for horses) Fish to big and small dogs, all the way to reptiles! I have experience with all of them. Daily, your animal will be watched 24/7. I strive to make sure every animal in my care is cared for like my own. So, your animal will never be left for more than a hour or two (the occasional doctors appointment). They will also be taken care of just like my own in they will get PLENTY of exercise! My dogs and dogs I watch are crated when we are not home. (Of course without collars on!) I spend at the very least 2 hours per day exercising with my dogs in the backyard. High energy dogs need outlets! I have experience from Yorkies to Shepherds to Belgians.

About: I’ve had family dogs since I was 10! I mostly have experience with medium and large dogs. I once helped birth a litter of 10 puppies and nursed them until they were ready for their forever homes. I have been with dogs of various temperaments, from timid to energetic. I also know that it is extremely important to understand a dog’s body language, and I will ensure that your pet is comfortable above all else! I am currently a college student, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups and walk them to match the schedule you already have them on! I have class from 9am-2pm Monday to Thursday, so I will be available before and after! I have a yard and a friendly spayed dog that can keep your dog company under my supervision! I have a spacious living area and a crate as well.

About: I am flexible with any care your pet may need. I have a direct line to a vet clinic where I also work at. I also accept pets with prescribed medications or special needs. Exotics are also welcome, and I provide services for large animal such as horses, livestock, and/or farm animals! I try to be as flexible as possible to work around my schedule. I go to school so most visits would be extended afternoon visits, but weekends would be completely open. I require detailed and clear instructions of the exact care you want your pet to have. Such as do they have specific feed or potty times etc. all written on a hard copy. I take your special care needs seriously and like to make sure everything is done correctly; therefore, please be available to answer a text or phone call at any time.

“Jaide took care of my 2 cats for 10 days while I was out of town. She sent photos and an update at every check-in, which was much appreciated.”

Katie H.

“Britney took very good care of my kitty while I was gone. My cat is very skittish when it comes to new people, so she tends to hide. Britney went the extra mile to make sure she atleast heard her in the house. She also made sure she had food, water and cleaned her kitty box. I would highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”

Rosemary W.

About: I’ve had pets all my life, but I don’t necessarily have special skills. I taught my cat 5 tricks, so I have a little dedication to the craft.

“I can’t say enough good things about Christa! She came for drop-in visits and did an amazing job with our cats. We have a shy cat that warmed right up immediately, which is always a great sign. I felt completely at ease while I was away knowing that she was caring for them.”

Kiersten S.

“Very through and gives very detailed updates! I love that”

Nisha S.

“Kierah took great care of my two pups. She spent quality time with them, she didn't just come let them out for potty breaks but took the time to spend time with them. Highly recommend:.”

About: I’ve worked in a vet clinic for 4 years where I have learned how to properly take care of animals. I also dog sit for neighbors and friends which include feeding, bathing, administering medicine, walking and spending the night with their animals. I will be able to stop by between, before or after classes. I will also be able to stop by on weekends or on my lunch break. I do work a part time job and I am a full time student but I will fit this into my schedule between classes or after work. I will build up a trust with your pet and treat them like one of my own. I will either leash walk them to go potty or let them out in a fenced in back yard.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life after growing up on a farm, which taught me patience and responsibility from a young age. I currently work at Pampered Paws, where I professionally care for both dogs and cats and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also volunteer at animal shelters, giving me experience with animals of all personalities, including shy and anxious pets. I’ve been a cat owner myself for over a year, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and attentive. My goal is always to treat every pet like they’re my own and give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I can administer medications and I own three cats myself. I have a deep passion for animals and would love to show my love towards your animals.

About: I joined the crazy cat lady club 6 years ago and now have 3! I completely understand the nature of a cat and recognize how different they are from dogs and how little appreciation they get from the pet community. I have frequently checked in on my friends’ and parents’ cats over the years to feed, cuddle, and play while they have been out of town. I am deeply passionate about cat care because of my own cats. I know I would want someone like myself to care for my own cats while I was away so that I don’t have to worry about them as much (because the worrying will still persist with these feline personalities). Your cat will be in great hands with me!

About: I have been taking care of animals for about 3 years now. I have owned pets from a very young age of all kinds big and small. I have 6 dogs, two cats, 14 (probably more 😂) chickens, two turkeys,3 guinea fowl and 7 ducks! Three of my dogs are rescues! I hope to one day have a ranch/ animal sanctuary for all of my animals and many more to come! During my stay or drop in visits I always give love, cuddles, and plenty of love and attention. I have been relied on by not only family but friends and many others to feed,bathe,walk, and clean up after their pets. I also have been known to groom their pets as needed I am often called a dog whisperer which I am pretty proud of 🤣 I have tons of experience with all sorts of animals including small parrots and guinea pigs! I would be more than happy to care for your animals needs including farm animals and I’m willing to learn about many more! I not only provide services to Sturgis but to Starkville and surrounding areas! I currently do not have a job right now I stay home with my own animals all day so I am available at any times! I unfortunately am not able to offer stays in my own home at this moment. But I would be more than happy to treat your pet to a day at the dog park or even just a run car ride and walk!

About: Hello I have worked at a veterinarian clinic in my home town for 3+ years now and I am looking for some jobs here in Starkville while I am away and would love to help take care of any animals. As a full time student I think pet care will be easy to fit into my schedule daily or weekly any time that is needed. You can trust in my care of your pets as I worked at an all animal clinic so I have experience with many different animals and things to do in emergency situations.

About: I have worked with various breeds from a Newfoundland to a Pomeranian. My family owns two dogs that have had two litters of puppies so I have experience with dogs from new born to seniors. I also have a two furbabies of my own. I’m highly motivated and energetic, I don’t mind taking high energy dogs for long walks/ runs or just snuggling up and comforting dogs with separation anxiety. I don’t mind taking your dog on field trips, weather it’s to the lake or the dog park or just playing inside on rainy days! I love all breeds of dogs even ones considered “bully breeds” those are the sweetest in my opinion. For dog boarding if you have your dogs trained a certain way (staying off furniture) I can certainly enforce that while they are at my house. I can also work with any other needs like that if it is needed. Such as if your dogs do not get along with other dogs I can always put mine up in their room. The dogs will always meet in a neutral area before brought in the house to make sure they get along! I am currently attending school online so my schedule is open and very flexible! Whether your dog just needs a walk midday, someone to feed them while you’re at work, or someone to come stay with them/ to come stay with me and my pup because they aren’t good alone at home! I am currently in an house it does not have a fenced in backyard but i do have a big backyard and tie outs. I also have 2 furbabies to keep your pup comapany! If your dog is reactive i will make sure to keep a close eye on our surroundings while on walks!

About: I have always loved and cared for all animals, my family has consistently kept at least 1 dog and 1 cat in the household, and I became an active caretaker of our animals around age 9. Although I began with my family pets, I have consistently taken care of others animals for 2 years. In that time I have worked with many dog sizes and their resulting personalities. Additionally I have experience handling multiple animals at once. I enjoy getting to know each animal and finding what they like and need. I keep things calm and consistent so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I am in college, so my schedule is subject to change—please check my calendar for the most up-to-date availability. I will be traveling between Starkville and Laurel areas in Mississippi. I live in town and like to keep dogs (and myself) active with regular walks and time outside. I pay attention to how each pet behaves so I can adjust to what they’re comfortable with, whether that’s pace, distance, or time. I will follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet stays safe and your home is respected. I will also keep communication clear to ensure you are aware of any events.

About: I’ve been working with animals since I was little and have grown up on a farm around a wide range of animals. Living on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals with different personalities and needs. I currently work at Pampered Paws and volunteer at animal shelters, giving me hands-on experience with both cats and dogs. I aspire to become a veterinarian, so I truly love every opportunity to care for animals. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I also have a very flexible schedule so I am able to change things around to accommodate you. I also ensure that my calendar is up to date so I can be confident that I can give your dogs all the love and attention they deserve. In my clients’ homes, I always respect the routines, rules, and boundaries they set so their pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I make sure to ask detailed questions about each pet’s schedule, behavior, preferences, and any special care needs so I can provide the best care possible. Safety and trust are very important to me, and I always treat both pets and homes with respect. In my own home, I follow the same approach by creating a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away.
