“My puppy was well taken care of. I was nervous about leaving my baby alone for the first time because she has a couple quirks but Lynsi made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Would most definitely book again!”
“Kristin was great with our baby, Sophie. She kept Sophie away from the others until she was comfortable enough to go around them. I appreciated her accommodations. She is very responsive to texts. I highly recommend Kristin as a sitter.”

“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.”
“Glad to have found such a wonderful sitter in Dannah. She was so good sending daily pictures and updates on Cohen. I could tell he was having a great time. It’s good to be able to enjoy time away knowing that Cohen is well cared for and enjoying himself.”
“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.”
“Pamela has taken care of Sebastian three times and he has been happy as a clam whenever we pick him up. She is great! Sebastian is a senior dog with medication and needs extra attention so to have someone that has the patience for him is very comforting. We really appreciate her. We will be booking with Pamela until we leave Gulfport!”

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.”
“Angie was simply amazing. Showed my doggies love and care while staying with her. She has the same high standards of care that I have when it comes to caring for a pet- they are family and are treated with love and respect. She sent frequent updates. My babies were happy, safe, and content while in her care. Thank you!!! Xoxoxo”
“Cierra was awesome - very quick to respond to the request for booking, even though it was very "last minute". She was very friendly and professional and obviously took very good care of our dog while we were away. Cierra kept us updated frequently on our dog throughout the weekend with texts and photos. She was also very flexible with the scheduling. Overall, we HIGHLY recommend Cierra D. and will be calling on her again in the future!!”

I wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth for anyone seeking a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again!”

About: Dogs are every girls best friend. I have experience in administering medicine to dogs if they need medical attention. I also have 13 years of pet care experience. I do online college. I am able to provide reliable pet care every day during the week. I would love to take care of your pet. I do not mind if dogs get on furniture as long as the dog is clean. I love little dog snuggles so that doesn’t bother me. I will make sure the pet is sticking to its routine & I will also update the owners on how the dog is. I am also available to do drop ins for any farm animal or exotic pet even if it’s not an available option when you book. Just let me know!
About: I have been taking care animals since i was 5 years old and so i became a vet tech. Now i am living a dream Pet care fits in my schedule because this is what I do every day for work. I have been a veterinary tech for 2 years I have 2 acres fenced in yard for your fur babies to run around play all day. I will care for babies just like my own
About: Along with my years of experience in caring for my own pets (dogs and cats), I have also fostered puppies and kittens. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they are well taken care of. I currently work from home and set my own schedule, so my schedule is flexible. There are various times through the week and weekend I am available to take care of your beloved pets! I am always alert to the needs of my cat, whether she needs food, water, her litter changed, or wants to play. Whatever animal you may have, I will have them the attention and care they need, through playing, walking, feeding, etc. (Just like you would :))
About: On walks, I’ve been known to smile at dogs yet frown at the owners. Not really, but it’s true that seeing pets on walks is my motivation for doing them in the first place. I only have one little pupper (Bella) who is 14 years old! Although she has the energy of a toddler, the way she follows me into any room any time I’m in the house is something I’ll miss when she’s gone. We take walks daily, and I’m careful not to over feed her or harm her in any way. Even though this is my first app, I think the foundation of trust and looking for any signs the lore is showing (as well as my clear communication with pet and owner)
About: I have always had pets of my own my entire life. I am also the go to dog walker, kitty sitter, and fish feeder in my neighborhood. With my medical skills ( with specific instruction from you) I can administer pills and medications as needed. I am highly responsible and will treat your fur babies with much love and follow your routines to keep them happy. I am happy to take them for many walks and play as much ball as they would like:) As a homeowner and pet owner myself. I can appreciate also that leaving your pets in the care of a stranger can be nerve wracking. I will treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I give mine. Since I’m retired, I have the flexibility and availability to give your pets the attention, companionship, and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether your dog loves playtime, walks, cuddles or simply having someone nearby. I will make sure they feel comfortable and cared for as if they were my own. Your pup will be treated like family in my home. I have a large fenced-in yard for safe playtime, they are welcome to my entire home—no being confined to a kennel unless that’s what they are used to and prefer. They will always be treated like one of my own 🐾 ❤️

This means frequent bathroom breaks, regular feeding times, and lots of love, supervision, and attention throughout the day. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for just like they would at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home provides a secure, welcoming environment where animals can relax, play, and enjoy their time away from home. I have a small fenced-in yard, perfect for safe outdoor time, quick potty breaks, and supervised play. For pups who love to run and explore, there’s also a dog park right in my community, giving them extra space and opportunities for fun, exercise, and socialization (based on your comfort level). Inside, pets have access to plenty of toys, cozy spots to rest, and a calm environment where they can feel at ease. I offer frequent walks and outdoor time throughout the day to make sure they stay active, stimulated, and happy. Whether your pet prefers relaxing cuddles or energetic play, they’ll have a safe, enriching environment to enjoy during their stay.
