We had a great experience! They took wonderful care of our dogs and made us feel completely comfortable and confident while we were away. Our pups came home happy and well cared for, and the printed photos they sent home with us were such a thoughtful touch. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!

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: 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 work at Shaggy Hound where we treat your dogs just like our own. I take care of dogs from 3 months to 17 years old. I can administer medications and keep them on a regular schedule. I can also start training your dog basic commands while they are in my care. I believe what sets me apart from other people is my knowledge and experience. I used to work at a vet clinic for four years and now I work as a Kennel Tech. I have gained so much confidence in my ability to handle and work with animals. Pet care fits into my routine because it’s what I do for work, i work with dogs and then I come home and get to spoil my own dog and cats. I have a passion for caring for animals because they can’t do it for themselves. Your pets depend on you and that is my motivation to be better for them everyday. I care for other people’s animals with the same genuine love as I do my own. Pets are apart of the family and deserve to see love and respect always.

About: I’m new to professional pet sitting, but I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and currently have two dogs of my own who absolutely love other animals. Caring for them has given me daily hands-on experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and lots of patience and attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love and care I give my own. I’m responsible, attentive, and excited to build experience while providing a safe and happy environment for your pup. I work Monday through Friday from 8am–5pm, but I’m available for morning and evening care, walks, drop-ins, and weekend services. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to structured feeding schedules, walks, and giving lots of attention before and after work. On weekends, I have more flexibility for extended care and quality time. We live on private land with plenty of space for safe outdoor time. While our property is not fenced, I always use a leash for walks and outdoor time to ensure your pet’s safety. I’m very mindful and attentive when it comes to supervision. I also have two friendly dogs who love other animals, and I carefully monitor all interactions to make sure everyone feels comfortable. Your pet will be treated with the same care and responsibility I give my own.

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: Ever since I can remember I have felt very deeply about animals and their wellbeing; my dream since I was a kid was to become a Vet, and so I did! Not only do I love to be around animals, but I also have the knowledge and patience to take care of their needs, healthcare, and wellbeing. I have always taken care of our family pets. The feeding, the grooming, and of course, the walks in the park and exercise :) For the past 6 years I have taken care of all my friends and relatives pets, when they go to travel, and even tend them when they get sick and need special treatment at home. Pet care fits well into my routine. I’m available for evening pet sitting and care in clients’ homes, and I also care for pets staying with me, where they aren’t left alone for long periods. On weekends, I’m available all day. I make sure pets receive consistent attention, care, and companionship so they feel comfortable and well cared for. I can care for pets in my clients’ homes, always following their routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m careful about safety, making sure doors and gates are secure and maintaining a clean, calm environment. In my home, I have a fenced yard and two friendly kittens who are used to being around other animals. Pets are always supervised and introduced safely in a relaxed, loving space.

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!

They need affection and to be taken care of. Whether it is in my home or yours, your animal will be treated like a prince or princess like they deserve!

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.

I am also experienced with many medications and know how to administer them. Your pets needs are my top priority.

About: I’ve worked at a veterinary clinic, a boarding, and grooming facility, where I gained experience caring for a wide range of animals. I’ve also pet-sat for exotic animals, puppies, skittish dogs, elderly dogs, and more. This has helped me understand different pets’ needs and behaviors, allowing me to provide the right care for each one, whether it’s medical attention, comfort, or just some extra patience. I currently have open availability for drop-ins on the weekends. I can come late nights, early mornings, and throughout the day. I can’t wait to meet your paw-some pets! As a pet sitter, I offer top-quality, reliable care right in the comfort of your pet’s own home. You can trust that your furry friend will be in good hands, as I focus on providing personalized care that meets their unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or simply snuggling on the couch, I make sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away. With my experience and dedication, I treat your home and pets as if they were my own, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and well-cared for!

About: •Worked at a dog kennel for 5 years •Two years of veterinary school before pursuing another career •Years of animal handling and care experience •Comfortable with all breeds and temperaments •Price negotiable based on number of animals, temperament and amount of care needed •We can discuss hours of care upon request. During the week I have a full-time job from 8a-5p. I have an hour lunch that I could walk pets during. On the weekends, I try to be with your pets as much as possible. I may need to run random errands. Your pet won’t be unattended for longer than you are comfortable with. We can discuss what your specific needs/wants are prior to pet care. I treat all dogs as if they were my own. I know each person cares for their pets in different ways and I try to accommodate any requests made •I live with my fiancé, who is a big animal lover. I will be taking care of your pets, but for full transparency like to let you know there’s another person in the home. I also have a cat, she minds her own business. I can always keep her separate from your pets if they are not good with cats. When sitting, I try to not schedule any other events so I can be with your pet as much as possible. During the week I work 8a-5p with an hour lunch. On the weekends I normally leave it open for pet sitting and will not go anywhere besides a random errand if needed. I accommodate almost all requests no matter how unique. Special diet, nightly routines, or any activities you do with your pets I try to follow

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: I am 22 years old and have grown up with pets in the house. At one point we had 5 dogs! I love dogs and have taken care of them since I could walk. I always assist when my friends need help with pet sitting or anything or the sort! I also have a dog of my own, his name is Cash and have raised him from 8 weeks, so I am very familiar with puppies! I am a full time student at Mississippi State University and have classes every day. However, on Monday and Fridays my classes are only in the mornings, and Tuesday and Thursday I have one in the afternoon. Besides this, I have a pretty free schedule! I am able to take care of your pets however you please. Whether this is walking them, feeding them or giving them water, or just playing with them for a little. Just let me know what you wish for!

About: Hey everyone! I work at The Dawg House playground and salon, and over the years, I’ve also had the privilege of working at three veterinary clinics. During my time at the vet clinics, I learned valuable skills like bathing dogs and cats, trimming nails, and administering medication when required. I deeply understand the responsibility of caring for your furry companions, and I’m passionate about providing them with the best possible care! As a student at Mississippi State University, my availability is primarily limited to the afternoon. However, I encourage you to reach out, as I would be delighted to discuss potential arrangements! I treat animals as if they were my own, always striving to give them the best possible care. Since animals cannot speak for themselves, I firmly believe that we are the ones who speak on their behalf.

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 work at Shaggy Hound where we treat your dogs just like our own. I take care of dogs from 3 months to 17 years old. I can administer medications and keep them on a regular schedule. I can also start training your dog basic commands while they are in my care. I believe what sets me apart from other people is my knowledge and experience. I used to work at a vet clinic for four years and now I work as a Kennel Tech. I have gained so much confidence in my ability to handle and work with animals. Pet care fits into my routine because it’s what I do for work, i work with dogs and then I come home and get to spoil my own dog and cats. I have a passion for caring for animals because they can’t do it for themselves. Your pets depend on you and that is my motivation to be better for them everyday. I care for other people’s animals with the same genuine love as I do my own. Pets are apart of the family and deserve to see love and respect always.

About: I’m new to professional pet sitting, but I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and currently have two dogs of my own who absolutely love other animals. Caring for them has given me daily hands-on experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and lots of patience and attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love and care I give my own. I’m responsible, attentive, and excited to build experience while providing a safe and happy environment for your pup. I work Monday through Friday from 8am–5pm, but I’m available for morning and evening care, walks, drop-ins, and weekend services. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to structured feeding schedules, walks, and giving lots of attention before and after work. On weekends, I have more flexibility for extended care and quality time. We live on private land with plenty of space for safe outdoor time. While our property is not fenced, I always use a leash for walks and outdoor time to ensure your pet’s safety. I’m very mindful and attentive when it comes to supervision. I also have two friendly dogs who love other animals, and I carefully monitor all interactions to make sure everyone feels comfortable. Your pet will be treated with the same care and responsibility I give my own.

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: Ever since I can remember I have felt very deeply about animals and their wellbeing; my dream since I was a kid was to become a Vet, and so I did! Not only do I love to be around animals, but I also have the knowledge and patience to take care of their needs, healthcare, and wellbeing. I have always taken care of our family pets. The feeding, the grooming, and of course, the walks in the park and exercise :) For the past 6 years I have taken care of all my friends and relatives pets, when they go to travel, and even tend them when they get sick and need special treatment at home. Pet care fits well into my routine. I’m available for evening pet sitting and care in clients’ homes, and I also care for pets staying with me, where they aren’t left alone for long periods. On weekends, I’m available all day. I make sure pets receive consistent attention, care, and companionship so they feel comfortable and well cared for. I can care for pets in my clients’ homes, always following their routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m careful about safety, making sure doors and gates are secure and maintaining a clean, calm environment. In my home, I have a fenced yard and two friendly kittens who are used to being around other animals. Pets are always supervised and introduced safely in a relaxed, loving space.
