About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of a 2½-year-old Cavapoo. Throughout college, I fostered small-breed dogs from very young ages and have regularly pet sat for friends and family. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and will treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I do work a normal 9 to 5 job. I come home for lunch for an hour and have weekends open as well. I have a doggie door with a fenced in backyard for playtime and can always close it while I’m gone. My office is nearby so I am happy to go check on them periodically! When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care instructions, so they feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. With approval, a night time pup cup is a standard in our home!
“Highly recommend!! Brandy and her family were great with our dog. Excellent communication, quick response, and it’s very clear they love animals. She responded on really short notice and was fantastic to work with. Will book again!”
About: I started caring for animals at a young age when I launched a small neighborhood dog-walking business. From early on, I knew I wanted to spend my time around animals, and that passion has only grown stronger. Today, I’m the dog parent of two pups, Arlo (7) and Kirby (3), who truly are my pride and joy. Being a pet owner myself has helped me understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your fur baby. I’m patient, attentive, and compassionate with both people and animals, and I’ll treat your fur baby with the same care and love I give my own. I’m always happy to answer any questions you may have before booking! My availability is open during the week and typically weekends, providing the opportunity to meet your pets daily or weekly needs. I can be available during the morning and / or afternoon! I will carefully follow any instructions you provide. Keeping your pet safe and your home secure is very important to me and my standards. I always enjoy when my pet sitters provide updates during a day care or boarding session, so I plan to do the same!
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I also have one of my own. She is a total sweetheart and would love a friend to play with. I would love to care for your puppy!

About: I’ve had dogs since before I could walk, and I’ve been around them my entire life. I have experience with all sized and tempered dogs, cats of different ages and even birds and farm animals. If there was a sitter to gush over your pet, it’s me! I work from home so I’m available any time. I will keep my schedule regularly updated. Let’s chat about what I can do for you and your fur baby! In my household I have one small dog named Rosie. She is free fed, we take a daily walk and she goes outside to potty or relax about 5/6 times a day. I really aim to focus on what each particular pet needs and enjoys to make sure they’re in the best care.

“Heather was a very gracious host to our two dogs. This was our first Rover.com experience. Traveling in our camper but wanted to get to New Orleans. Our dogs were safe and well cared for while we enjoyed NOLA. Heather is very convenient to Paul B Johnson state park and would recommend her services for others. We got back early enough that she allowed us to pick our dogs up before boarding the second night. We appreciated the flexibility.”

“Very happy , my puppies were happy and calm when I dropped them off and picked them up . They were very well taken care of and loved .

About: As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and caring looking after your feline family members. I currently have four cats of my own and am experienced in their daily care, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure they are comfortable and happy. I am comfortable handling basic cat-sitting responsibilities and maintaining your cat's normal routine while you're away. I know that every cat has a unique personality, whether they're playful, affectionate, shy, or independent, and I will make sure they receive the care and attention they need. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so you can feel confident that your cats are safe, well cared for, and comfortable in their own home.
“Britt did an excellent job caring for our 3 pets, one of which has medical needs. Very professional, responsive when messaging, and providing photos of our fur babies. Highly recommended her!!!!”
About: To me, our pets are like family. They deserve to have the best care available since they are dependent on us to provide for them. I enjoy spending time with animals and will follow their routines so they feel comfortable and safe. I am a detail-oriented person — I will make sure your pets are cared for according to your directions, with a lot of cuddles sprinkled in (if they are snugglers). I am a freelance writer, semi-retired, so I have a lot of time on my hands to devote to animals in my care. I enjoy playing fetch or tug-of-war or providing whatever other stimulation your pet needs. For those who prefer to be alone or sleep all day, I'll respect their space and keep watch from a distance. I try to follow the routines of the pet parents, so the pets have some consistency while their family is away. That's also why I prefer to stay in the home, so they are in a place they already know and feel comfortable with. I feed at the designated times and am vigilant about potty breaks or cleaning litter boxes, taking walks or whatever else the pet does in the course of a typical day. I don't give table food or snacks to pets, and I will handle any type of emergency per your instructions. I love to take pictures and videos of your pets throughout the day and will send them to you, so you know your babies are doing great. I don't mind running errands or collecting the mail and other small tasks that may be needed while you are away.
About: I've taken care of dogs & cats for as long as I can remember. We keep our pets until they pass that rainbow bridge. I am very reliable and will always send updated photos every time I am with your pet to remind you they are in good hands. I am also experienced with large breeds and the tiniest of pets! Located in Petal, near the Library area 😊 Early mornings before school, or in the evenings are great as well. I usually sit outside with a cup of coffee in the morning so they can run around, then in the evening the door is open with free roam to come in & out. If care is done in my home we have a fenced-in covered fence backyard and two of our own dogs to play with. I also have two playful children who can play fetch for hours! If care is done in your home depending on being watched in a fenced backyard or on a leash. Your dog will be watched and given the attention they deserve.

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals and have been around pets my entire life. Growing up, I cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, and guinea pigs, which helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior and needs. For the past four years, I have worked at Camp Bow Wow Airport in Metairie, Louisiana, where I have gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My work has taught me how to provide safe, attentive care, recognize pet behaviors, and ensure dogs are comfortable and happy while away from their owners. In addition to my professional experience, I have also dog sat for family and friends, giving me experience with in-home pet care and maintaining pets' daily routines. I am passionate about animals and committed to providing loving, reliable care so pet owners can have peace of mind while they are away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I currently care for three dogs and four cats of my own, so my days revolve around feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, exercise, playtime, and making sure all of my pets are healthy, comfortable, and happy. Caring for multiple pets has helped me become organized, attentive, and comfortable managing different personalities and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have worked at Camp Bow Wow Airport in Metairie, Louisiana, for the past four years. My job has given me valuable hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am responsible for monitoring their behavior, ensuring their safety, and providing attentive care throughout the day. Having grown up with dogs and cats, as well as caring for other animals such as hamsters and guinea pigs, pet care has always been a significant part of my life. Because animals are already part of both my personal and professional routine, I am confident in my ability to provide reliable, loving care and maintain a pet's regular schedule while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. This includes feeding them according to their schedule, providing fresh water, ensuring they get appropriate exercise and playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. As the owner of three dogs and four cats, I am experienced in managing daily pet care tasks such as feeding, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior, and recognizing when something may be out of the ordinary. I understand that every pet has unique needs and preferences, and I make it a priority to follow any instructions provided by the owner. My four years of experience working at Camp Bow Wow Airport in Metairie, Louisiana, have given me additional experience handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether caring for pets in my home or visiting them in theirs, I strive to create a safe, clean, and positive environment while keeping owners updated and giving them peace of mind that their pets are receiving quality care.

About: Having grown up alongside my own 17 year old dog, I have a deep understanding of senior pet care. I am comfortable managing slow-paced walks and noticing any health shifts that come with old age. I am also comfortable with younger, more energetic pets. When being with pets, I don't just see an animal; I see a family member who deserves the same care I would give my own. Currently, I am a college student with a weekly routine that allows me to have full availability every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I am also available on Tuesday mornings. During the summer months, my schedule opens up completely! My approach to pet care is rooted in a "safety-first" mindset developed from a lifetime of caring for my own 17 year old dog. In your home, I prioritize security and routine, making sure your specific instructions are followed. This lifelong experience has made me an undistracted dog walker who checks for body language. Whether I am caring for a high-energy puppy or a gentle senior who needs a slower pace, I provide a patient and attentive environment where your pet’s safety is my priority.
About: I have had animals my whole life including exotics such as birds and ferrets. I started rescuing an array of different breeds of dogs around 3 years ago and found that it suited me well.

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. My first pet was a stray cat I named Smokey when I was 3 years old. We rescued my first dog, Lucky, from the pound for my fourth Christmas. I was gifted my first chocolate lab, Wesson, for my 6th birthday. I rescued a litter of kittens who’s mom got ran over by a car when I was 10. I still have two of those cats to this day - Prince and Tiggy (14 years old, happy, and spoiled rotten). When I went off to college I adopted my soul dog, a black lab I named Enzo, from the Humane Society. Unfortunately, he passed away in November of last year. The point is, I’m a genuine animal lover who will treat your pets like my own - because that’s what they’ll be in my care. Nothing brings me more joy than a dog licking my face or a cat rubbing against my leg. I promise your babies are safe with me. Not only will they be safe, they’ll be happy :) I’m currently working full time Monday through Friday 8-5. I can walk dogs, check on pets, play with them, etc. before 8 AM, during my lunch break 12-1, and after work (5 PM). I am completely open and free on Saturdays and Sundays. My apartment has a fenced in dog park right across from my apartment building that is very rarely used, but in good condition. I have two cats that I can keep locked on one side of the house if your animals prefer no company :). I am very flexible and can adjust to most needs your babies might have!
About: I have 15 years of experience with walking dogs and caring for animals. I have 4 dogs, 2 cats ,1 horse and 1 pig. My daughter and 2 grandkids live with me and my daughter has worked at a vet clinic for 4 years she has experience with pet care also, and now she works at home in her newly built pet grooming salon. Trista’s Grooming Paw-lor Im a stay at home YaYa with two grandkids. I have plenty of time to offer to your pets. I will treat them like my own pets. I have a fenced in yard. I have a big yard away from the road. I would walk your dogs on a leash if required. I would take care and be attentive to your pets.
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.

“Second time we have used Shawna! Always quick to respond and Moretisha has a great time. Moretisha is very needy and it is always great knowing that she will be well taken care of while we are traveling. Great Family to take care of your pets!”
“Brianna was outstanding! She was so gentle and loving with our sweet boy and made his first boarding experience an absolute dream! She kept me informed of how he was adjusting and sent me the best videos and pictures of him interacting! We will definitely be using her in the near future!”
“Highly recommend!! Brandy and her family were great with our dog. Excellent communication, quick response, and it’s very clear they love animals. She responded on really short notice and was fantastic to work with. Will book again!”
About: I started caring for animals at a young age when I launched a small neighborhood dog-walking business. From early on, I knew I wanted to spend my time around animals, and that passion has only grown stronger. Today, I’m the dog parent of two pups, Arlo (7) and Kirby (3), who truly are my pride and joy. Being a pet owner myself has helped me understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your fur baby. I’m patient, attentive, and compassionate with both people and animals, and I’ll treat your fur baby with the same care and love I give my own. I’m always happy to answer any questions you may have before booking! My availability is open during the week and typically weekends, providing the opportunity to meet your pets daily or weekly needs. I can be available during the morning and / or afternoon! I will carefully follow any instructions you provide. Keeping your pet safe and your home secure is very important to me and my standards. I always enjoy when my pet sitters provide updates during a day care or boarding session, so I plan to do the same!
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I also have one of my own. She is a total sweetheart and would love a friend to play with. I would love to care for your puppy! I go on a long walk with my puppy daily (morning and night), and go to the dog park every other day! Your puppy will have lots of playtime with mine! I will help care for your puppy and home like it is my own. I know the stress of leaving a pet home during a trip. I want to alleviate that stress for you!
“Alicia took such great care of our 2 dogs. She would send me pictures daily, sometimes multiple times a day, with a quick update on how everything was going. I didn’t worry about our dogs all weekend, what a relief!”
About: I’ve had dogs since before I could walk, and I’ve been around them my entire life. I have experience with all sized and tempered dogs, cats of different ages and even birds and farm animals. If there was a sitter to gush over your pet, it’s me! I work from home so I’m available any time. I will keep my schedule regularly updated. Let’s chat about what I can do for you and your fur baby! In my household I have one small dog named Rosie. She is free fed, we take a daily walk and she goes outside to potty or relax about 5/6 times a day. I really aim to focus on what each particular pet needs and enjoys to make sure they’re in the best care.
“Sarah took great care of our pup. He settled in quickly and we received happy pics while we were gone. She was flexible when we had a last minute change in our travel plans. We’d use her again!”
About: My name is Lilly and I am a huge lover of animals. I started a pet sitting/walking business when I was 9. I work for a technology company out of the Ridgeland/Hattiesburg area. I rescued Milo from Southern Pines in 2022. I was a foster failure from Hub City in 2024. They are my BABIES. My absolute pride and joy. I took a break dog sitting for a while, but I am back to meet some new babies! I have the ability to work from home. Both of my dogs have some energy. They love the play in the water hose or play fetch. I live in a friendly neighborhood with a fenced in backyard. I also offer boarding inside my home. Otherwise I am more than happy to make drop in visits throughout the day and night at your home. My dogs love to make new friends. They never had a problem sharing toys or show signs of food aggression
“Very happy , my puppies were happy and calm when I dropped them off and picked them up . They were very well taken care of and loved . While I was gone I was given updates as to how they were and Logan didn't mind me asking how they were all through the week. I never felt any kind of negativity from Logan and he even finished teaching them to use a pad . Great service and I'm very happy . Don't think twice about leaving your loved ones with Logan . Will use again in the future.”
About: I‘ve had pets as long as I can remember. I have a cat and a dog who love to play! My family bred cats growing up, so I have dealt with MANY different situations and know the proper responses in emergency situations. I have experience training, walking, socializing, and showing dogs and cats. I love pets and would be thrilled to take care of your furry friend. Spending time with pets brings me joy. I know each pet has a unique personality, and love learning and adapting to each one’s! I look forward to meeting your precious pet and taking care of it as if it were my own. Thanks for checking out my profile! I’m a stay-at-home mom to a toddler, so my schedule is fairly flexible! Whether it’s an early morning walk or a late night check-in, I’m here to help care for your pets. I have a cat and a dog at home, both of whom are high energy. I love to play tug and fetch and use wand toys to entertain, but am just as comfortable giving snuggles or taking your furry friends on a walk.
“Emily and Derek took great care of my baby. She had never stayed away from home and was timid and frightened and they were very understanding and accommodating for her. Thanks you two”
“Autumn, thank you for taking care of my big baby. Thank you for sending pictures and videos of Diesel, while I was out of town. Those pictures and videos melted my heart. I appreciate your kindness and your professionalism. We will surely be back! Alicia”
“It was an outstanding experience from beginning to end. She took such good care of my dog. Did he almost didn’t want to come home. She’s very kind and considerate. I can’t imagine leaving him with somebody else.”
“She was amazing with Nugget and he absolutely loved her and her pets. She sent me pictures and answered all my messages in a timely manner. I will definitely book with her again!”
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. My first pet was a stray cat I named Smokey when I was 3 years old. We rescued my first dog, Lucky, from the pound for my fourth Christmas. I was gifted my first chocolate lab, Wesson, for my 6th birthday. I rescued a litter of kittens who’s mom got ran over by a car when I was 10. I still have two of those cats to this day - Prince and Tiggy (14 years old, happy, and spoiled rotten). When I went off to college I adopted my soul dog, a black lab I named Enzo, from the Humane Society. Unfortunately, he passed away in November of last year. The point is, I’m a genuine animal lover who will treat your pets like my own - because that’s what they’ll be in my care. Nothing brings me more joy than a dog licking my face or a cat rubbing against my leg. I promise your babies are safe with me. Not only will they be safe, they’ll be happy :) I’m currently working full time Monday through Friday 8-5. I can walk dogs, check on pets, play with them, etc. before 8 AM, during my lunch break 12-1, and after work (5 PM). I am completely open and free on Saturdays and Sundays. My apartment has a fenced in dog park right across from my apartment building that is very rarely used, but in good condition. I have two cats that I can keep locked on one side of the house if your animals prefer no company :). I am very flexible and can adjust to most needs your babies might have!
