“Jaimari was excellent with my girls!! She sent me so many pictures and took great care of them. I felt so reassured they were taken well care of. I will definitely re book her services!”


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: 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.
“I honestly don’t even know where to start expressing how highly I think of Alissa. 5 stars just aren’t enough! Needed someone to keep my son’s dog, Coupe’, at the very last minute. She was amazing from the beginning… Very kind, accommodating, reassuring, and professional all the way around. She kept me informed and kept up to date, with messages & pictures the entire 5 days, Coupe’ was there. I am beyond grateful to have found Alissa on Rover! Thank you both Alissa & Kyler! Yall are THE BEST!”

“Magdelyn is awesome! Brody loves her and she is always on time! We did a long term daily visit without any issues whatsoever. I trust her to take care of my little guy and I highly recommend anyone looking for a sitter to consider Magdelyn. Thank so you much for all your help. Knowing Brody was taken care of each day allowed me to focus on my job at Columbus AFB.”


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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Mathiston
About: I understand how important it is for your pet(s) to be walked a certain way, have their food prepared exactly how they like it (because if not, they simply won’t touch it), and be groomed to their personal comfort. That’s why you can enjoy confidence and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by a genuine animal lover who will do everything possible to make them feel safe, happy, and relaxed. I live in the county, about 18 minutes outside of Starkville, and I’m happy to provide dependable, loving care for pets in the surrounding area. I offer flexible scheduling with reliable, on-time visits, because pets thrive on routine and familiarity. Whether your pet needs a morning potty break, midday check-in, evening walk, or consistent daily care while you’re away, I make their schedule a priority. You’ll never have to worry about rushed visits or missed routines — your pet’s comfort always comes first. Safety, trust, and consistency are at the core of my care. I follow all instructions closely, maintain secure entries and exits, and keep a watchful eye on your pet’s behavior and wellbeing during every visit. You can trust that your home and your pet are always handled responsibly and with full attention to detail.

About: With my experience working at a Doggy Daycare for the past two and a half years, I have taken care of wide variety of breeds ranging from puppies to senior dogs, and I would love to care for your pup too! I'm currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty open and flexible, especially during weekdays and particularly in the afternoons! I will be available every other weekend. As a guest entering my client's home, I will respect the privacy of their home and the boundaries of the dog. I will complete tasks as preferred or directed by the owner.
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 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 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 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.
