Personalized care for your dog or cat - Pontotoc

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Pontotoc
“Matthew(Kevin) was very prompt with communication about the overnight visit. He listened carefully to information about my two senior dogs and asked questions. He immediately engaged with my dogs when we arrived. He provided pictures and updates daily which was really nice. He took care of all items brought for the dogs and followed care instructions thoroughly. Both of the dogs seemed very happy and well cared for when we picked them up the next day. I would not hesitate to use his services again and would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of any type of care that he offers! Great experience!”

“Caitlin and her family were the absolute BEST pet sitters!! They watched my 2 yr old frenchie and 3 yr old blue healer and were phenomenal! Both dogs seemed to thoroughly enjoy their time with them. I would definitely recommend Caitlin to anyone who needs a pet sitter!”


“Leila is a great pet sitter! She is so good with dogs and really goes out of her way to make sure the dog is comfortable and feels secure. She is very good about sending pics and videos. I highly recommend Leila”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with both dogs, cats, and more so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’ve handled everything from daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure the pets feel safe and comfortable. I do have two sugar gliders currently, so I’m used to caring for animals that need extra attention and specific routines. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet like they are my own! I’m available most weekends (Friday–Sunday) with flexible scheduling to fit your needs. I also have some availability on weekday mornings before 1 PM for drop ins or walks. Perfect for weekend getaways or busy schedules! I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress free! In your home, I stick to all feeding, walks, and care instructions while giving plenty of attention and affection to your fur babies. In my home, I provide a safe and calm environment with lots of love, playtime, and supervision. I do have a backyard, though it is not fully fenced, so all outdoor time is carefully supervised. I also live in a safe, walkable neighborhood that’s great for regular walks. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, happy, and cared for just like they’re my own!
“Carsen was amazing! She was the sweetest and treated my boy like her own. She sent pics and updates. I could tell he was very happy with her while he was there and when I picked him up! Highly recommend.”

“Stephanie was genuinely attentive and adaptable to my needs. She responded well to my cat’s unique personality, and it was heartwarming to see my usually shy male cat begin to open up to her so quickly—she treated her with real love and kindness. I am truly grateful!”

“Ashlyn did a wonderful job with my cats! They are usually very shy and timid with strangers and they felt safe enough to come out and greet her during drop in visits. She took wonderful care of them and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

About: I'll be honest in saying I do not have any "professional" time looking after animals, BUT I have had a dog throughout my entire life that has always been my entire life. There is no doubt in my mind that I would be able to give the best care available and I think upon meeting me anyone would be able to see the genuine care I have for animals. I have a GORGEOUS 11 year old silver labrador named Gus. We have had him since he was nine months old and he has been spoiled ever since. He's my whole world. Unfortunately, he passed in June 2025 💔 I do look after the strays in my neighborhood. When you drop off & pick up your babies, I will have the strays behind my fence. Once your dogs are inside my house or back in your car, I let the strays out. I trust your dog(s), I do not trust the strays. I work M-F in Oxford. I leave @ 7:10am & arrive home at 5:10pm. Other than that, please message me with any questions you may have! I am located in Belden, MS. I offer outside play time with plush toys, tennis balls & more! If you’d like to meet me before booking, I would love that! Animals will always have the biggest place in my heart.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages from puppies to elderly dogs. I am also comfortable with larger dogs, chickens, and other farm animals. I can administer medication and clean up after dogs if a mess were to occur. I understand how important dogs are in our lives so I make sure to take care of them as I would want my own family taken care of. I truly enjoy being with other peoples pets and meeting new animal personalities! I have taken care of all of my friends dogs while they go on vacation and have a Great Pyrenees/Poodle mix of my own! I work from home and have an extremely flexible schedule to make any kind of drop in visits work. Message me to inquire about scheduling visits. I have a fenced in yard and have experience with dogs who dog out and try and escape. I take the responsibility of caring for other animals and being in clients homes very seriously.

“Taylor did an amazing job taking care of my five cats and my African grey parrot over the weekend. Her check-ins were incredibly thorough, and she made sure to include photos of everyone along with detailed updates about how they were doing. I could tell she truly followed my instructions, and it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I got home, the house was clean, the pets were relaxed and happy, and everything had been done exactly as I asked. It was such a relief to know my babies were so well cared for. I’m truly grateful for the level of attention and professionalism Taylor showed, and I hope this is the start of a long and wonderful relationship with her. Highly recommend!”


“This is my first time booking with Tayla and I would book her 1000 times again! She took wonderful care of Rubí while I was out of town and she was really calm when I came home rather than being anxious like when I’ve left her with people in the past. Highly recommend, she did a meet and greet with me and Rubí a week beforehand, communicated really well, sent lots of pics, which I loved, and even bought her extra snacks! Definitely recommend! I only booked her for my cat but I would absolutely book her for my dog as well.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Pontotoc
About: I have grown up around pets, including dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, etc...but my most favorite are DOGS 🐕 of course! (We can all agree...) I have an affinity and a knack for "winning them over" and LOVE to talk to them, understand their behavior, read their signals, and act accordingly. I am extremely intuitive and high-energy. The combination of these two makes me ideal for dog & cat sitting, because when they're with me, they're going to have fun and be understood! 🐾 I also babysit (children) quite often, so I completely understand that a pet is your CHILD. I have utmost patience and respect for these furry children. Parent certified and approved over here 🙌🏼 Also, it’s worth noting, I communicate and I send pics. There's no reason to be out of the loop. #pleasebecool If you have questions, 🗨 just ask. I LOVE spending TIME with dogs, taking them on quality walks and runs, 🏃🏼♀️ or even on special car trips to parent-approved areas! 🚗 ☀️ As long as they are in my care I will make sure they get a lot of love and exercise, and YOU will get lots of picture updates about the fun they're having. I look forward to caring for your beloved friend! Send me a message and we can set up a time to meet-n-greet and further discuss your needs. 🐾 Some of the following will be: Is your dog potty trained? What commands do they respond to? Any allergies? Any behavioral issues? I’m currently working part-time, and dogsitting is one of my ‘gigs’ so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I work online from home mostly, but if I’m on the go, I am never gone longer than ~ 3 hours. ⏰ If allowed, I am more than happy to take your fur baby with me. I usually say “if mom or dad are going on vacation, you get a vacation too!” so they are free to tag along and adventure with me on errands, to the beach, or to a friend’s house if they are friendly and so-inclined. I love giving dogs the opportunity to socialize, but only if it’s allowed. 🐕 I prefer to house-sit in the dog’s familiar environment, because they are so much more relaxed in their own home versus if they are introduced to a new place with unfamiliar smells, etc. I have plenty of referrals and recommendations to attest to my trustworthiness. Basically, I'll treat your home like a stellar AirBnb hotel maid guest, sans cleaning fee 🧼
“Robin did such a great job taking care of our pup! She was very communicative and we loved getting picture updates. Our boy came home happy and tired, which is always so wonderful. We will definitely be booking again!”


“Jenna is very sweet and made our anxious little dog feel right at home. We especially appreciate that she was able to accommodate us on short notice as we were in town for one day. We didn't worry a bit about him being in her hands while we attended an event. Great communication and photos. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years and have looked after dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I’m comfortable with puppy training, giving medication, and making sure senior pets feel comfortable. Friends, neighbors, and family always trust me to feed, walk, play with, and love their pets like they’re my own. My goal is to keep every pet happy, safe, and well cared for. Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly life. I plan my schedule around walks, feeding times, and play sessions to make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether I’m doing drop-ins or overnights, I treat it like a priority—not a side job. In a client’s home, I stick to the pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable—feeding, walking, and playing just like their owner would. I keep the space clean, follow any special instructions, and give plenty of attention. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, I make sure they have a quiet, safe space with lots of love and supervision.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little. My neighbors would asked me to watch, feed, play, and walked them for as long as I remember. I can deal with all different types of dogs.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old! We have a German Shepard and mini poodle. I really enjoy dog sitting and getting to know and love your pet! I’m currently working full time, in the city of New Albany. I have a pretty flexible job, so I am able to leave when needed! My home is next door to my job, so I am able to check on dogs who are in my home at anytime. I am available any time on the weekends. I enjoy watching pets. I will be sure the pet does not mess up the home and will ensure that we will play together. If there is a fenced in yard, we will play there and go on walks.

About: 🐾 Growing up in Mississippi, animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and currently have 5 fur babies of my own. I was raised around German Shepherds and have extensive experience with large, intelligent breeds that require consistency, patience, and confidence. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. In addition to my love for animals, I’m currently a nursing student, which has strengthened my attention to detail, responsibility, and commitment to providing quality care. I understand how important it is to follow routines, monitor, and communicate clearly with pet parents. I know leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision, and I don’t take that trust lightly. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care and treat every pet like one of my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m used to staying organized and managing responsibilities, which helps me ensure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. Since pet care is already a regular part of my life, adding your furry family member to my routine feels natural and enjoyable. Safety is always my top priority. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, and any special needs before care begins. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise requirements, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and closely supervise pets during walks, playtime, and outdoor activities. As a nursing student, I’m detail-oriented and comfortable monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for.
