And her gone and yard are clean, warm and welcoming. Our dog loved his stay. We will be using her again in the future!”

About: I have been training dogs professionally since 2016 and am currently running my own dog training company, Koda's Canine Academy. Since I am rather new to the area, I would love to be able to meet more fellow dog owners and their pups while being a safe place if you need a little time away or somewhere for them to play. Plus, I work from home, so you can rest assured that not only will your pups have someone with them all the time, but they will be in the hands of a dedicated dog professional. In addition to training dogs, I also have about 6 years of experience working in various boarding kennels across the United States, and have a lot of experience handling dogs of all different types, grooming, dispensing medication, and of course, training. I currently run a dog training company from home, and have two dogs of my own whom I spend as much time as possible with. Everyday has walks, hikes, playtime, and meal time built into them strategically to keep them stimulated and happy throughout the day. In other words, my life pretty much revolves around dogs! My dogs are and have always been the number one priority in my life, and I will treat your dogs no differently. Every dog that comes into my home is welcomed with love and treated like family. We have walks, hikes, playtime, and even mini training sessions that we do daily, as I like to make sure that all the dogs in my home are respectful and responsive, as this allows us to do more things together.
“Great! Very sweet and accommodating and sent me multiple photos every day which I loved!! Big open (****fenced in***^🤌🏼🤌🏼) yard for my dog (Rosie) to run around in and very sweet little boy who loves dogs for Rosie to play with 🥰 Would absolutely book again.”
“Charles was a fantastic sitter for my dog Carter during our weekend trip to Waveland, MS. He kept us updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind. Carter got plenty of fresh air with daily walks through Charles’ wooded neighborhood and even a fun outing to the local farmers market. We’ll definitely be booking with Charles again if we come to town.”
“Pamela goes above and beyond, my pups love her! She has great communication and always keeps us updated through messages and daily photos. We are so grateful for her attentiveness and care and for Pamela being so accommodating for a last minute request. We look forward to our pups next visit with her 🐾”

I’m flexible and make time for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day.

While I don’t have a fenced yard, I stay very attentive and keep pets secure at all times. I enjoy being active, so I make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and fresh air. I also follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules and medications, and I have experience caring for my senior dog with past heart issues, so I’m patient and attentive to each pet’s needs.
“Holi-Nicol did an excellent job caring for our two kitties. She sent an update with pictures during each visit.

We will definitely use Rover again and highly recommend Holi-Nicole to care for your special family members.”

About: I’ve shared my life with cats for years — currently with my 10-year-old cat, Lux, who has taught me everything about patience, body language, and earning a cat’s trust. I understand that every cat is unique: some want constant attention and playtime, while others just need quiet companionship and a gentle hand. I’m experienced with everything from shy or independent cats to affectionate lap warmers. I know how to handle routines, feeding schedules, litter maintenance, and giving medication if needed. Most importantly, I take the time to make each cat feel safe and loved in their own space — with plenty of chin scratches, playtime, and peaceful company while you’re away.

“Kristin was so amazing!!! She treated my babies as if they were her own, and for that, I appreciate her! I will definitely be a repeat customer! Thank you and I highly recommend!!”
“I’ve used Ellen for Doggy Day Care and Boarding since July. Ellen and her pup, Jackson, are the sweetest. Ellen does a really great job of keep me updated on Brady’s stay. I can tell Brady is very happy and comfortable at her home. I feel 100% comfortable leaving Brady in Ellen’s care.”
“I’m so glad I found Sandy! I was hesitant about taking my dog to daycare because she can be very reactive when meeting new dogs. Sandy immediately put us at ease. She obviously has a lot of experience with animals and their behavior. My dog loves going to daycare and has even become less reactive on walks and in the car.”
“Malia has genuinely saved my life this summer. Getting a puppy in the busiest part of my season with my partner away wasn’t our smartest move but we just knew we’d never find another one like Bear and had to have him. He’s well crate trained and Malia pops over during the shifts I can’t have a family member over to let him out and play with him till I get home. This weekend she she watched him while I put in twenty four hours at work and it was such a weight off my mind knowing he was being so well taken care of. She’s a great communicator and sends photo updates and he’s just grinning away. I literally don’t have the words to express how grateful we are for her and the care she takes of our fur baby.”
“Holi is wonderful! Juniper is always excited to “go to work” as I say in the morning. I appreciate that I can drop Juniper off early and that she has some doggos can play with during day care. She always comes home happy and worn out from a day of play.”
“So grateful! We had a last minute cancellation for our two doggos for a doggie daycare day drop off for our baby shower and they were super accommodating last minute. Our dogs had a blast and were so tired after getting back. Highly recommend”
“I can’t say enough about Robin. We are relocating from another state and I do not know anyone in MS. She was willing to help us with our 2 labs for two days of doggie daycare. I was nervous about leaving them at someone’s house vs an actual facility. We usually take them to the vet’s facility in our area. Robin and her own dogs made me feel comfortable right away. I have 1 dog that isn’t big into socially. I was surprised to see pictured of how happy she was roaming the fenced in yard with the other dogs. We plan to continue using Robin’s services. It’s hard to find not only someone trustworthy but FLEXIBLE with your own schedule. Thanks again Robin!”
“I could not be happier with Elizabeth's care for Great Dane Penny. Penny is two years old with lots of energy wand needs to be center of the action and attention. Elizabeth watched Penny in her home for a day while I was in Biloxi for vacation. Penny was utterly exhausted after a day of walks and other exciting activities. I received multiple updates and pictures from Elizabeth throughout the day.”
“You can really tell Pamela loves what she does and is dedicated to caring for animals. I’m so happy my dogs enjoyed their time with her and we are looking forward to our next visit. Thanks again! 🐶🐾”

About: Animals have always been part of my daily life — I currently share my home with a sweet 10-year-old cat and a 5-month-old terrier puppy, so I’m no stranger to different personalities or energy levels! Training my own puppy from the start taught me patience, structure, and how to keep even the most playful pets focused and happy.

“I knew I made the right decision when, Patunia burst through the door to meet Elizabeth. She is trained (or so I thought) to wait for company to come in. I instantly felt at ease and knew she was the one for my girl. Very caring, communicative, and friendly I'm very happy with the help Elizabeth was able to give me. You'd do right by hiring her.”

“Leda helped us out with a last minute request for walking services for our 12-year-old Lab while we were on vacation. She was great to work with! She always answered my Rover messages right away, did a meet and greet with us, and provided timely communication while we were gone. She used Rover to track her walks and sent pictures, so we always knew what happened each day. My husband and I are pretty anxious dog parents and felt like we had really great care with Leda.”

As a bunny owner I have responsibilities with feeding, changing out her litter box, and giving water to my bunny as well as traveling and taking her to the park for playtime. I would make sure to take care of them with feeding them, giving plenty of water, and administering meds if needed. I’d also give them playtime and take them out for walks.

About: I’ve had many dogs all throughout my life, so I know all of the tips and tricks for a happy healthy canine! I am constantly taking care of my friends/family’s dogs! I am currently a nail technician. This means I make my own schedule at the salon I work at. I am extremely open with availability, and I want to make pet care as convenient as possible. My house is fully fenced in with a large backyard great for playing! There is never anything small on the floors that a dog could get into or choke on!
About: I’ve taken care of many animals over the years and I decided to expand to outside of my family. Because of my love of pets and as a college student with free time I have decided to fill that time with something I love, taking care of animals. I love all animals and have taken care of a dachshund, terrier, cats of all kind, and even insects and amphibians. I currently work part time at a gym and am a college student but I have free time that I would like to fill with something that benefits the people around me. I have taken care of many dogs and am comfortable with any instructions you can give me and promise to do exactly what you tell me when taking care of your loved pets!
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)

“Jecinda took care of my old pup mid-trip while I was busy. It worked out great for me and my puppy was happy to stay and happy when I picked him up. I felt very comfortable leaving him and she kept in touch with me during the 24 hours she had him. Highly recommended.”
“Kristin was amazing with our dogs. She took care of our three chessie's for three days. I couldn't of had anyone better to watch them. There was plenty of room for them to run and play. I even got pictures of our dogs every day. 😁”
“Sandy was so amazing with our dog Cooper! He stayed with her for five nights and I don't think he wanted to leave - it was like summer camp for him. After dropping him off at her house and meeting her dog I felt more than comfortable leaving him there. Sandy sent us updates with pictures every day, and Cooper looked like he was having a great time and made himself right at home. We will definitely be rebooking with Sandy again!”
“Lexie was absolutely fabulous taking care of my girl for the week. Gave daily updates, pictures and videos and reassuringme she'sdoing great. Raija thoroughly enjoyed herself and was so well taken care of. Will definitely be rebooking Lexie for my next trip!”
“Danielle was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. She was timely and frequent in her communication with us and didn't hesitate to help in any way she could. She is a jewel and an absolute Godsend!!”
“10/10 !! Angie and her Bella were amazing host to my baby girl ! Angie communicates very well and kept me updated with how my pup was doing while I was away. She has my highest recommendation to book with her!!”
“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.”
“Robin was great! She took great care of our sweet boy! Our pup had a great time and made lots of friends. She paid special attention to our dogs hip since he’s getting older. We will definitely have our boy stay here again!”
“Hanna was great with Lottie! She kept her on her routine and sent me lots of pictures and videos during her stay, Lottie had such a good time she almost didn’t want to get back in the car to go home. Will definitely be booking with Hanna again!”
“I’m so glad we were lucky enough to get Elizabeth! She was incredibly helpful and accommodating to us. We tried not to ask anything too exorbitant. But considering we booked with her in less than an hour of making the request, added a bath, and changed our departure time, she rolled with all of it and made our experience that much better. Next time we are in town, she will be the first person we try to book with ahead of time next time. Just to make sure we get her! :)”
About: I have been training dogs professionally since 2016 and am currently running my own dog training company, Koda's Canine Academy. Since I am rather new to the area, I would love to be able to meet more fellow dog owners and their pups while being a safe place if you need a little time away or somewhere for them to play. Plus, I work from home, so you can rest assured that not only will your pups have someone with them all the time, but they will be in the hands of a dedicated dog professional. In addition to training dogs, I also have about 6 years of experience working in various boarding kennels across the United States, and have a lot of experience handling dogs of all different types, grooming, dispensing medication, and of course, training. I currently run a dog training company from home, and have two dogs of my own whom I spend as much time as possible with. Everyday has walks, hikes, playtime, and meal time built into them strategically to keep them stimulated and happy throughout the day. In other words, my life pretty much revolves around dogs! My dogs are and have always been the number one priority in my life, and I will treat your dogs no differently. Every dog that comes into my home is welcomed with love and treated like family. We have walks, hikes, playtime, and even mini training sessions that we do daily, as I like to make sure that all the dogs in my home are respectful and responsive, as this allows us to do more things together.
About: Pets (and working animals) have always been in my life. Currently I do have dogs of my own and always have. Moved to the city and sure do miss my goats, chickens and most of all my potbellies that couldn't come 😭 My father was an animal scientist and I've been around animals of all sorts since the day I was born. I'm a stay at home mom with my youngest at 11 years old. My entire day is free! If I'm not caring or playing with a four legged friend or two webbed feet I'm not having fun! Safety for your pet is most important. Playtime would be wherever you request whether it be your own backyard, walked on a leash, dog park or inside playtime. Your pet will be treated with the utmost care with lots of fun with the safety of him/her always in mind.
“Great! Very sweet and accommodating and sent me multiple photos every day which I loved!! Big open (****fenced in***^🤌🏼🤌🏼) yard for my dog (Rosie) to run around in and very sweet little boy who loves dogs for Rosie to play with 🥰 Would absolutely book again.”
“Charles was a fantastic sitter for my dog Carter during our weekend trip to Waveland, MS. He kept us updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind. Carter got plenty of fresh air with daily walks through Charles’ wooded neighborhood and even a fun outing to the local farmers market. We’ll definitely be booking with Charles again if we come to town.”
“Ma'Liyah was a lifesaver! I had a sticky situation with a short notice need for dog boarding. Also, my dog is not nice to other dogs, and requires isolation from other dogs. Ma'Liyah was quick to respond, and understood all of Koda's needs. I got plenty of pictures along the way, and was so grateful to her for taking care of my pup! If I need boarding again, I'd definitely contact her!”
“Pamela goes above and beyond, my pups love her! She has great communication and always keeps us updated through messages and daily photos. We are so grateful for her attentiveness and care and for Pamela being so accommodating for a last minute request. We look forward to our pups next visit with her 🐾”
“KADIE IS INCREDIBLEEEEEEEE!!!!! We just recently moved to Tampa in the last few months and already had a terrible experience with a new sitter so we did our due diligence for this one and it was very well worth it! She sent amazing photos every single day (some that I honestly want to frame) of all three babies, asked great questions to make sure she had the care instructions correct, made sure to accommodate the comfort of our cat. We will be coming back again and again for trip after trip as long as she'll have us. Thanks so much, Kadie! Figgy is counting down the days until next time, I'm sure. lol”
