“Dasher and Chaplin enjoyed there stay with Holly. Our boys stayed with her during Christmas and she was amazing. She sent picture updates and kept us in the know on how they were doing. She also picked them up and dropped them off. She made us feel comfortable leaving them. We would definitely book with Holly again.”
“Bonnie is AMAZING!!! Our sweet boy was SO well taken care of!! He became a part of her family and I could tell she enjoyed keeping him! Don’t put your sweet animals in a cahe for the weekend-take them to Bonnie ❤️ where they can relax and play just like when they’re at home! She quickly replied when I asked how he was and sent us lots of pictures!! Choose Bonnie for your sitting needs! She goes above and beyond and you will be so pleased!!”
“We're so thankful to have found Ashlyn to board our cat Leo when we had to take a last minute trip out of state. She made herself very available and willing to help when our dates were tentative; when we had to stay longer, she reduced the stress by again being flexible and completely willing to keep him for us... And to even go pickup more food for him, if needed! She was great about sharing photo updates and expressed enjoyment in keeping him, which just made us feel like our boy was being well cared for and loved on. Communication was great throughout. We highly recommend Ashlyn for boarding and would not hesitate to have her keep our pet!”
“Rita is an amazing pet sitter. She kept our little Shih Tzu for an entire week. Finding her on Rover was a blessing to our family. She is kind, patient and responsive. Highly reccomended !”
“This was the first time our baby had ever stayed away from us and Amy made sure we were well informed the whole time. He had the best time and didn’t even seem to miss us when we picked him up. Highly recommend! Will definitely be using her again.”

“Mrs. Bonnie is super Great!!! She takes care of my fur baby while I’m away at work. She always keep me updated on everything that Stormi🐾 does during her stay. Thank you Mrs. Bonnie!”
“Alex took good care of our cat Tucker and faithfully came daily over several weeks to feed and love on him. She was responsive to requests and helpful in reporting any developments with Tucker or around the house.”
About: Whenever I am around a new cat (or any for that matter), I allow the cat to come to me so that I do not stress them out. Cats, like small dogs, have their space invaded and boundaries crossed quite often. I respect their boundaries and allow them to be animals and not toys.
“Shawna is so caring and helpful. I appreciate the time she took getting to know my cats and interacting with them. I will definitely book her again when I need someone to care for them again!”

“Sophia was amazing! My dog Parker was well attended too and surprisingly remained calm while I was away. I am so pleased with the Sophia, and will definitely seek her services in the future!!!”
About: I’ve been working with dogs for over 19 years and provide a structured, calm, and safe environment in my home. I have a dedicated dog room with secure kennels, supervised interaction, and clear boundaries. I currently own and train multiple dogs, including a fully trained service animal and another dog I’ve personally raised and developed. This gives me strong experience with behavior, energy management, and different personalities. Dogs in my care are treated like family, but with structure. They can enjoy comfort like furniture once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I do not allow destructive or uncontrolled habits. I’m comfortable with puppies and can reinforce basic training, routine, and good behavior during their stay. I also provide advanced training reinforcement as part of my care. Dogs naturally work on obedience, confidence, impulse control, and daily mental and physical engagement while they’re here. I have experience building service-style task foundations and higher-level behavior, but I do not certify service animals. Every dog benefits from structure in my home, whether they need basic manners or more advanced work. My focus is safety, consistency, and communication so every dog is properly supervised, exercised, and leaves more balanced, responsive, and confident. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not something I fit in on the side. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured interaction, and regular potty breaks, exercise, and mental engagement. My background in disciplined environments has shaped how I run my home—dogs here benefit from routine, clear expectations, and a calm, controlled atmosphere. Each day includes a balance of activity, training reinforcement, and rest so dogs stay healthy, settled, and stress-free. Because I’m available throughout the day, I can adapt to each dog’s needs—whether that’s higher energy, puppy structure, or a more relaxed pace. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, engaged, and well looked after at all times. Safety, trust, and structure are the foundation of how I care for every dog. My home is set up specifically for pet care, with a dedicated dog room, secure kennels, and supervised interaction at all times. I carefully manage introductions and only allow dogs to interact once they are calm, balanced, and a good fit. Dogs in my care follow a structured routine that includes regular potty breaks, exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. I maintain clear boundaries while still allowing comfort—dogs can enjoy furniture and a relaxed environment once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I require dogs to be crate familiar or comfortable with structured downtime. Owners are encouraged to provide a crate or familiar setup for overnight stays, though I have limited kennel space available if needed. I prioritize communication and will keep owners updated with how their dog is doing. My goal is to provide a calm, controlled environment where dogs feel safe, are properly supervised, and leave more balanced and well cared for than when they arrived.

About: Along with the confident ability to provide the best care for your fur babies, I have experience working as a veterinary assistant, and I begin vet tech school in the fall! Being a dog mom myself, I know how difficult it can be to leave your fur babies for any amount of time. I hope that as your potential pet sitter, I will be able to give you as much peace of mind as possible when doing so. My promise is to treat each of your animals as they were my own—with love, patience, and compassion! Being experienced in the veterinary field, I also have the ability and training to care for senior pets, pets who may be diabetic, take medications, etc. As a student, My schedule has gaps in it that do allow for me to care for your pet multiple times a day. This will give me time to care for your pet as you request! I have a fenced in yard that your pet will be able to have supervised play time as much as they would like! I am extremely flexible. However you typically go about your day with your pet, I will do my best to keep that routine for the comfort of your pet!
About: To say I love animals would be an understatement. Children and animals are just two of my passions. I am Mississippi born and raised & excited to make new friends with your fur baby! I offer private house & dog sitting, day boarding and walking services within my community and among friends and family members. I am a former veterinary receptionist and assistant well versed in dog boarding, day care/play dates, daily activities/feeding schedules and habits, etc. I also own & have taken care of family members’ dogs all my life since my youth and they’ve always responded positively to my love and affection. I treat every dog like my own children, to me they are family. They all deserve sufficient love, care and attention. I am a Stay-at-Home Mom who works from home full time as a Birth and Postpartum Doula, childbirth educator and breastfeeding consultant AND PT Tech at Apple. I am available to love on your baby whenever my schedule permits and whenever you need me for private booking. I live in a single family townhome with a dedicated dog park and near a public closed in park with a walking trail in a great, quiet and diverse neighborhood, with my standard goldendoodle, 1 orange tabby, 1 Bombay, 2 Calico DSH and a tuxedo cat. Two children whom loves to play with all and any pets they come into contact with and engages in activities with them.

About: Because of my loving concern that I have for my very own dog, it really makes me one of the perfect candidates. I love my 🐕 he's rotten to the core. I am currently working a very stressful schedule which does not allow me the time that I would seriously love to have to spend with more or to care for that of others. You have to pay serious attention to details and not take everything to seriously dogs are our companions. Treat me just a such, because they deserve it
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, but I started taking a more active role in their care about 9 years ago. I began by helping with family pets and more recently started doing my own pet sitting and drop-ins. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities and have experience handling multiple dogs at once. I really enjoy getting to know each dog and figuring out what they like and need. I try to keep things calm and consistent so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m still building my experience, which is part of why my rates are lower right now, but I take pet care seriously and focus on giving your pet reliable, quality care. I’m currently in college. So my schedule is finicky. At school (Starkville, MS area): I’m available most of the time. At home (Laurel/Hattiesburg, MS area): I’m available on weekends and school breaks. Schedule subject to change—please check my calendar for the most up-to-date availability. 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 also keep communication clear so you always know how things are going.

We have a large fenced in backyard and plenty of room to run and play. We have plenty of space in our home but will also come to your home so your fur family is comfortable in their own space.
