Personalized care for your dog or cat - Columbus

“We are so thankful for the sweet care that Norma gave. We could tell our dog was happy and rested when we picked him up. Norma's house was very near where the graduation was held, so it was easy to drop him off and pick him up. We would definitely use Norma again- she is so sweet! We are very grateful to her for being so kind and sweet to our little one. We are looking forward to using Norma again!”

About: I have worked part time at Healing Paws Animal Hospital in Collierville, TN for 3.5 years now so I have great experience with every kind of dog: Chihuahua to Great Dane, shy to energetic, delicate post surgery, to jumping all over me! I have experience dog and house sitting for friends and family since 15 years old, and I love to meet new dogs and cats. I have 3 dogs at home that I take care of, and I have no pets in Starkville with me while at college. I worked full time for the summer at the my home animal clinic. I am a full-time student at Mississippi State University, living in an off campus apartment. I would love to check on your pets between classes and in the morning, afternoon, and at night. I also am comfortable staying in your house if that will be more comfortable for your pet! I have an individual bedroom, closet, and bathroom that your pet will stay in for their time. I live with 3 roomates who adore dogs and cats, so your pet can have interactions with them if you allow it. I also have an unfenced backyard and a big apartment campus so I would love to walk your dogs around it if you would like.

“Callie was very good with our cat, Shadow. She sent lots of pictures and made sure that all his needs were met and also made sure to keep us updated throughout his stay. Definitely would recommend to anyone who needs a sitter!”

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.

“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’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 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.

“Love her! Sends updates and pictures. 10/10 would recommend and will book again. Her and her husband and so friendly and will take exceptional care of your pet.”

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.

About: I have grown up with pups my whole life, as I also have one of my own now! I also work at a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming place where I intake all kinds of dogs every single day! I do work a full time job though my hours vary, I may be taking the pups out as early as 5 am or as late as 9 am, I can always take them out on my lunch breaks aswell, then when I am off they will have my undivided attention for play time, some loving, and treats! In my home, my dog gets taken out and fed before I leave for work, I check on her during my lunch break unless my partner is home with her. As soon as I get off, my girl gets all of my love and play time! Living in an apartment can be difficult for outside play time, but luckily, we have a dog park here! My girl spends plenty of time in the park with all the fun obstacles they have!! I can also dog sit in someone else’s home. It depends how I care for your pet based on your instructions!

“Lashundra was amazing with Sadie! And Sadie loved her as well. Great communication, followed all necessary instructions and showed Sadie lots of love and attention. I highly recommend!!”

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.

About: I have always been a dog person, they make my days better and I can’t imagine life without fur babies! This is the perfect job for me because I can do what I love and still get paid. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible when it comes to dog sitting! I am a great communicator and always try to go off of a dogs normal routine. I always make sure there is nothing sitting out that could be dangerous to my dog before leaving the house, I make sure they have plenty of water, and lastly I make sure they have PLENTY of toys to play with!(:

About: Hi, my name is Lauren Peters, and I would absolutely love to take care of your fur baby! I currently have one cat of my own, PipPip, and have grown up with cats my entire life! I know how much our fur babies mean to us, and I will go above and beyond to provide the absolute best care possible for all of my clients!

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've cared for my family's six adorable belgian malinois and two funky cats for as long as I can remember! Additionally, being a pre-veterinary student means I've loved on animals of all temperaments (including some parrots and monkeys!) and am completely comfortable with restraint, vaccination, blood draws, and general care! I am currently doing research part-time, so I would love to keep an eye on your fur-babies in the afternoons and evenings, as well as on the weekends! I live in an apartment, but as long as your pet is leash-trained and you are comfortable with it, I am more than happy to tucker them out with an evening walk or run! I am always able to house-sit for a night as well.

About: My dog Lucy and I love to play. We go for 30-minute walks (at least) every day, run around and play fetch in the backyard, and play tug of war with her toys throughout the day. We would love for your pet to join us! When I was little, I was the hired pet sitter in the neighborhood, plus I also had my own pets growing up. As an adult, I've had my own pets and have been hired to pet-sit for several friends' dogs and cats, both short- and long-term gigs, over the years. I have experience administering oral medication to both dogs and cats and some dog grooming experience (although grooming is not my passion, ha). Weekends are when I consistently have the most time to focus on your pet, but I sometimes have some availability on weekdays. Just ask and I'll see what I can do! We have a fenced-in backyard (tall wooden fence) that is the size of an additional lot. The yard has a few shade trees and is mostly open grass. We have several toys to play with, both in the backyard and inside, including a water sprinkler. Your dog will not be left unattended in my care unless I need to run an errand briefly and they are secured according to your instructions (crated, etc.) We have a large dog crate your dog can use if you'd like so you don't have to bring yours back and forth. There are several safe places to go for walks nearby with lots of grassy areas.

“Kattie was so attentive and helpful! She listened to my very specific instructions and called me with need to know information! She was kind and I felt like my dog was safe with her!”

About: I've had dogs most of my life. More recently, I have two: a 7-year-old husky mix and a 2-year-old beagle mix. I have experience taking care of loved ones' cats. I have experience working in a vet clinic in the past, so I am comfortable giving medicine and caring for puppies. I am currently in between jobs/stay-at-home wife, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available and free most days. Having two dogs myself, I am knowledgeable about safety concerns. I will take care of your pets with the same love and care as my own. If your dog loves adventures, my SUV's backseat is equipped with a car seat cover, seatbelts, toys, and chews(if desired)!

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.

About: Hi, my name is Lauren Peters, and I would love to take care of your fur baby! I have owned both dogs and cats my entire life, and currently have one dog and one cat! I absolutely love all animals, and am very experienced in handling dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities! I also have years of experience in training dogs, and personally trained all of my pets! I have a 13 year old lab, so I am also very experienced in providing medications and other senior related care for animals! Some smaller pets that I have owned and have experience in caring for includes fish, hamsters, and reptiles! I understand wanting the absolute best care for your pets, and I strive to provide the best care possible for all clients by sending lots of updates, following all instructions left by owners, and loving your fur babies as my own! I currently only have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which leaves me lots of room for pet care throughout the week!

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.
