“Jayme and her family took amazing care of Pig. I received multiple picture and video updates throughout the day and I went from feeling guilty for leaving him to happy he got a nice little vacation. Pig came back happy and tired from all the fun. Will definitely use again.”
“Mark and Steph were so loving with our girl! They sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the weekend. They took great care of her and she got many cuddles! She will definitely be back!”
“Callie is excellent!! She is very responsive and took our Shih Tzu Cooky on very short notice. She kept us updated with pictures. I knew without a doubt after leaving Cooky, she was in the best hands possible. We were able to enjoy our weekend without any worries and highly recommend Callie. Thank you Callie!”
“Lexie was amazing! My plans changed multiple times at the last minute and Lexie was always quick to accommodate me. She truly made the experience easy and worry free. My fur baby loved her and I felt comfortable knowing she was not only being taken care of by Lexie, but shown all the love she would get at home. Lexie is obviously a true animal lover and will care for your fur babies just as you would. Thanks again, Lexie! I'm sure we'll be back!”
“Lynsi did a great job watching my dog Fitz. She kept me updated on how he was doing throughout the visit and made sure he was safe and comfortable. Definitely recommend and would book again!”
“Rachel and her family took amazing care of a mama cat and four babies we rescued from a shipyard. She was accommodating, responsive, and clearly loves to take care of animals. Could not recommend anyone more and would absolutely use again in the future.”
“Jesse was amazing! He accepted my booking on very short notice and took excellent care of my dog, Xena, all weekend. He kept me updated, was reliable, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Xena was happy, well cared for, and I could tell she was in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jesse again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. Thank you so much!”

“Angela took great care of Kian! She sent me plenty of pictures, took him for long walks, and made sure his stay felt like a vacation too! I’ll absolutely be booking with her in the future.”
“Nicole was phenomenal with our dog. She paid attention to her and spent so much time playing with her and taking her on walks, etc. We use dog sitters a lot but Nicole exceeded our expectations and we will be using her for all future dog sitting needs. 10/10 recommend. If you’re on the fence about who you should use, definitely book Nicole you won’t regret it! Our dog thought she was on vacation.”
“2nd time using Elizabeth and I can stop saying how lovely of a person she is. My partner and I were out of state for the weekend and we were not getting back until later than expected. Elizabeth understood and was able to take Ginny over night again and allowed us to pick her up the next morning before work. It was such a blessing and ease for our travels to not rush home late at night with and added stressor. We love Elizabeth and Ginny loves her too. Elizabeth is kind to sent updates as well to put you at ease. 💕🫶🏼💕”
“If you are looking for the most patient, kind sitter for your fur child you need to contact Dannie. This was the first time Cooper was away from us for a long span of time. Her messages, pictures, video clips, were hilarious and comforting at the same time. Great with communication and quick responses. Cooper is very rambunctious Doxiepoo, and she handled him extremely well. We had such peace of mind and that helped make our vacation more enjoyable knowing he was in good hands.”

About: I understand how stressful it can feel leaving your cat with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your cat like they’re part of my own family. After years of caring for pets, I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs and I take the time to make sure each pet feels understood.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have always loved being around them. Growing up with multiple cats taught me how to understand their different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, whether they are playful and social or more independent and reserved. Last year, I even took in a stray cat and cared for her for about a month while I worked to find her a safe, loving home. I know how important it is for cats to feel comfortable and secure in their environment, and I always make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection while their owners are away
“Shannon is great, she takes her time with both of my cats and gives them all the love while I am away. Now that they are used to her, they are happy every time she comes over and they are well taken care of.”
“Lindsey was Amazing!!! She took excellent care of Cleo and my home, and didn’t mind helping with the odd task if we asked. Will definitely be looking to book with her again!”
“Rachel was great. We had a last minute trip out of the country and she was able to keep both our cats for the trip. Both cats are pretty shy and have never been around another family before so it was new and hard on them, but she took great care of them for the week. They were happy to be home but in great hands. I would definitely recommend her in a heart beat.”
About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of animals, including my own cats and dogs. I am happy to take care of dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I will provide the highest level of care and tailor my care to meet your pet’s needs. I love going for runs and hikes so would be happy to give your dog an energizing workout. If your pet is nervous or shy I am very patient and will make sure they are comfortable. I have always loved all animals, so much so that I became a wildlife biologist and have studied/worked with everything from birds to bats to desert tortoises and other reptiles. I currently live with an especially cute dog who I care for whenever I am needed. I so look forward to taking care of your treasured pets and will treat them as my own I am available evenings and weekends for house/petsitting. I am a graduate student so have classes/work during the day from 8:30-4:30. With my schedule I will care for/walk/feed your pets in the morning before I go to work and in the evening when I get home. However, my schedule is somewhat flexible and I can check in on your pets during the day if needed. I will take your dog on a multitude of potty breaks and give at least two solid walks during the day for overnight care. I will follow any specific instructions to a t, as I am very detail oriented. My home is an apartment which does not have a fenced in yard, however I would be able to take your pet for frequent walks. I also have a dog in my home which is friendly to other dogs and cats.
“Jennifer did an amazing job taking care of my cats while on vacation. She went above and beyond! I would recommend her any day, as she clearly loves animals! I will definitely be using her again!”
About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart. As the owner of six cats, many of them rescues, I have experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities, from outgoing and playful to shy and cautious. I understand that cats thrive on routine and patience, and I take the time to earn their trust while ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I also have experience caring for a rescue cat during recovery from a broken arm, which required extra attention, monitoring, and gentle handling. Whether your cat needs feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, medication reminders, playtime, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I am committed to providing compassionate, reliable care. I know how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away, so I am happy to provide updates and photos during every visit.
About: I've been pet sitting since I was in high school, grew up with a dog (a Westie) and now have three cats of my own. I'm in grad school so I've moved around a lot and nearly every person I've lived with has owned pets, so I'm familiar with many breeds! I'm a grad student working remote most days, making me flexible and available to accommodate your pet’s needs as required. Whether your pet requires walks, playtime, or special care, I can adapt my routine to provide reliable and attentive support. While I cannot offer pet care in my home (we've already got too many legs!), in your home I am flexible to work with your needs and follow care instructions, ensuring your pets feel secure and happy.
About: I have raised many kids and many dogs over the years and I’d love to care for your sweet dogs- much love will be provided For the summer, I am free pretty much all the time and I can sit in any of the surrounding towns around south Mississippi :) When school starts I can still board or sit your pet as long as they are OK during the workday as I am a teacher. I have many years experience with dogs starting as a small girl. I’m a nurturer by nature and will be the most attentive person for your pet.

“Nicole was wonderful. I needed last minute assistance for my pup and she had no issues working within my short timeline. She did a meet and greet the next day. And kept me posted while I was gone. Even made a special trip to ensure my pup was taken care of. Will be using her again for sure!”
“She was great with my two girls! She was very gentle and patient with my nervous dog and won her over fast! Madeleine sent pictures and gave updates during her visit. We will be using her from now on! My girls loved her.”

“Robin was so sweet and good to Lucas. She communicated daily and sent pictures of Lucas playing with her dogs. Needless to say Lucas had a wonderful time playing with the liter of puppies they currently have. She asked questions to clarify how much I feed my fur baby and the times. She also showed me how my crate collapses so it's easier to bring for his overnight stays. I will be using Robin as my permanent pet sitter, very happy with her service.”
“You could not ask for better dog sitters than Mark and Ghost! My dog Beaux had his first drop in visit and he (and I) loved it! Mark definitely understands dogs and after just meeting him I left confident that Beaux would be well taken care of.”
“Laurie kindly accepted our last-minute request for day boarding a day in advance. Within just a few minutes of meeting her, Laurie put us completely at ease. Thanks to her, we were able to attend a family function with complete peace of mind, knowing our Bella was in great hands.”
“Alexis did a fantastic job with Jimmy! She stayed in consistent contact with us and even sent pictures, which we really appreciated. We're especially grateful for how she accommodated us on such short notice. I wholeheartedly recommend her without reservation.”
“What a delightful experience. Two days of daycare and my six month old doodle was pulling at the leash to get to Patricia! Lots of communication and she clearly has a love for animals! Her neighborhood was fabulous and offered a great safe place for walking! She treated my dog like she was her own and I would highly recommend her and would feel safe leaving my puppy there for a more extended visit as well!”
“Lexie was very quick to respond and accept taking care of our Zoe! Without her we would have been in a bind. It was a Sunday on a short notice. She communicated well with us through out the sit. Lexie made us feel comfortable throughout the whole time and Zoe was well taken care of! Would definitely recommend her!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! Molly enjoyed her time and loves her new pet shark! :) Thank you so much for allowing me to take my kids on an adventure in the middle of our move!”

“Aubrey was so wonderful! She came to my home to walk my dog and play with him the week of Thanksgiving. She was cordial, friendly, would communicate promptly and send updates when needed. I’m very thankful I chose her to help with my lab! I could also tell that she really cared for animals and loved taking care of my boy. Thank you Aubrey!”
“Shannon's been to walk Hap twice. Each time she is attentive, a brisk walker, asks relevant questions, and leaves him with a warm-hearted pat. My second dog allows her to pet him and we are working towards him following her out the door to the back yard. Shannon is very patient with him. She was punctual and cheery. I feel confident in her with my dogs. 5 Stars!”

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life and have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was 15. I also volunteer regularly at the Humane Society, where I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities — including seniors and pets with special needs. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, especially when caring for senior dogs who may need extra love, slower walks, or medication support. I also have experience with basic training, including leash manners, potty routines, and reinforcing positive behaviors with consistency and care. Animals truly make me the happiest and I’m so excited to start this journey. I treat every pet like family, because that’s exactly what they are. I’m currently a college student at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.

About: I've been taking care of animals since i was a child. As a professional, I have over six years of animal boarding and dog training experience. I have experience in animal bathing, and administering medications for both cats and dogs. I love working with young animals, but i adore senior pets the most. I would love to take care of your baby! If you are interested in dog training just let me know. I'm experienced in balanced-dog training and have trained over a hundred dogs through housecalls and group classes. For a typical day, it's potty breaks and breakfast first thing in the morning. If I don't have any housecalls, I'll be home with your pet. Your pet will get potty breaks every 1.5 hours on minimum until their last potty break at 8 p.m. Your pet will get 2 walks a day either around your neighborhood or at a dog park. If I do have housecalls to attend to, my work day will cut short so your pet won't be alone for too long. If I'm doing a dog training housecall, the lesson is typically one hour. We will go over one or two commands at a time and we will train the dog until i feel that the client and dog have a good understanding of what's going on. I can usually cover over basic obedience in eight lessons. I try to schedule these lessons once every week, but its all based on the clients schedule. I never let your out of my sight while their are in my care. The only times I would ever leave pet would be to go to housecalls or gather supplies. I will take your pet on walks, training practice and provide them with a bath if you ask me or if they get too dirty while in my care.

“Jennifer came thru with a short-notice appointment after THREE SITTERS ghosted me :D. She made herself accommodating to my dog who is sometimes grouchy with strangers and I can't wait to have the peace of mind scheduling a nice, polite, responsible dog walker.”

“Jayme and her family took amazing care of Pig. I received multiple picture and video updates throughout the day and I went from feeling guilty for leaving him to happy he got a nice little vacation. Pig came back happy and tired from all the fun. Will definitely use again.”
“Mark and Steph were so loving with our girl! They sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the weekend. They took great care of her and she got many cuddles! She will definitely be back!”
“Lexie was amazing! My plans changed multiple times at the last minute and Lexie was always quick to accommodate me. She truly made the experience easy and worry free. My fur baby loved her and I felt comfortable knowing she was not only being taken care of by Lexie, but shown all the love she would get at home. Lexie is obviously a true animal lover and will care for your fur babies just as you would. Thanks again, Lexie! I'm sure we'll be back!”
“Jesse was amazing! He accepted my booking on very short notice and took excellent care of my dog, Xena, all weekend. He kept me updated, was reliable, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Xena was happy, well cared for, and I could tell she was in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jesse again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Kristin was very polite and kind. I felt very comfortable with my puppy staying with her. She sent lots of videos and photos. She was quick to respond with any questions. Romeo was well taken care of. It was a pleasant experience.”
“Angela took great care of Kian! She sent me plenty of pictures, took him for long walks, and made sure his stay felt like a vacation too! I’ll absolutely be booking with her in the future.”
“Nicole was phenomenal with our dog. She paid attention to her and spent so much time playing with her and taking her on walks, etc. We use dog sitters a lot but Nicole exceeded our expectations and we will be using her for all future dog sitting needs. 10/10 recommend. If you’re on the fence about who you should use, definitely book Nicole you won’t regret it! Our dog thought she was on vacation.”
“2nd time using Elizabeth and I can stop saying how lovely of a person she is. My partner and I were out of state for the weekend and we were not getting back until later than expected. Elizabeth understood and was able to take Ginny over night again and allowed us to pick her up the next morning before work. It was such a blessing and ease for our travels to not rush home late at night with and added stressor. We love Elizabeth and Ginny loves her too. Elizabeth is kind to sent updates as well to put you at ease. 💕🫶🏼💕”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them. I’ve helped foster animals and have experience caring for pets of friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic routines, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. You can count on me to communicate regularly, follow your instructions carefully, and care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in dependable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My dog, Benji, keeps me active with daily walks, playtime, and outdoor activities. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable care, regular potty breaks, exercise, feeding, and plenty of attention to every pet I care for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Benji and I enjoy daily walks and visits to dog parks, and we have the luxury of a large, fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I’ll follow your routines, respect your instructions, provide lots of love and attention, and send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Sarah was great at watching our two dogs over Christmas, even our large one with anxiety. She also didn't have a problem keeping them on such short notice. Definitely recommend.”
“Jecinda went above and beyond for our little pup and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We received daily updates with photos and/or videos which we truly appreciated. This was our second time booking with her and we’ve never been happier. Our little guy was also excited to see her again because he knew he was about to get the VIP treatment. I highly recommend booking her if you’re looking for top notch professional care for your fur baby.”
“I was a bit anxious at first leaving Bubba with a complete stranger, but Scott was great during our meet and greet with him and I knew they would get along fine and Scott would take good care of him. Scott was conscientious about taking notes on how much to feed and when, potty habits, quirks I thought he needed to know. He provided me pictures everyday and I was pleased to see that Bubba got plenty of exercise while I was gone. I definitely plan to use Scott again. Thanks for a great experience.”
