About: The photos on my profile are all of the pets I have taken care of while being on this app! ☺️ A little bit about me: My mom has worked as an assistant at a Vet Clinic for my entire life and I was always up there with her. I’ve done a lot of volunteer work for them and I have experience with all kinds of animals. I have 2 pets of my own. My dog, kenai, and my cat, faline. I tend to my animals every need and make sure they are happy and healthy. I am very responsible, caring and I am willing to prove that to you and your pets.

About: I don’t have any special training or pet sitting experiences, but I’ve always had a pet and I taught my cat a few tricks. I work part-time at a deli so I have a solid chunk of time for pet care responsibilities. I typically work from 10-2/4, but it’s flexible. I have a three bedroom house and a decent yard, the yard is not fenced in, but the neighborhood is and it’s very safe. Plenty of space indoors and outdoors for another pet.
“Kattie was great with my 2 dogs. She was quick to respond, very accommodating for last minute booking and overall pleasant to work with. She took great care of my dogs and they left Kattie's house happy. Would recommend for your pet needs.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for most of my adult life. From pups to seniors I've always had a warm sense of love for our four legged friends! I’m mostly available on weekends. With lots of time for walks and playtime from sunrise to sunset. I run on weekends so active pups are more than welcome to join! Those relaxed pups will be met with cold ac and chill vibes!

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’ve had family dogs since I was 10! I mostly have experience with medium and large dogs. I once helped birth a litter of 10 puppies and nursed them until they were ready for their forever homes. I have been with dogs of various temperaments, from timid to energetic. I also know that it is extremely important to understand a dog’s body language, and I will ensure that your pet is comfortable above all else! I am currently a college student, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups and walk them to match the schedule you already have them on! I have class from 9am-2pm Monday to Thursday, so I will be available before and after! I have a yard and a friendly spayed dog that can keep your dog company under my supervision! I have a spacious living area and a crate as well.

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.

“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!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life after growing up on a farm, which taught me patience and responsibility from a young age. I currently work at Pampered Paws, where I professionally care for both dogs and cats and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also volunteer at animal shelters, giving me experience with animals of all personalities, including shy and anxious pets. I’ve been a cat owner myself for over a year, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and attentive. My goal is always to treat every pet like they’re my own and give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

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.
About: Growing up I’ve always had dogs in the house, currently with a chocolate lab. At home, I used to take care of lots of neighborhood pets so I definitely have good experience with dog sitting! I have been actively dog sitting and recently fostered a puppy at my previous home in Dayton, OH, just was not listed on Rover. I am now in Columbus, MS for the military. I am flexible on pricing if something does not work out. I am pretty free at the moment for dog sitting! I can spend mostly all day with the pups! My schedule varies often, but I only go in to work a couple hours of the day as of right now. At home, my family has a large amount of land so I am used to going on long walks with my dog. I also love to walk my dog and others around the neighborhood. I love to play with pets and give them lots of love/attention :)

About: Hello I have worked at a veterinarian clinic in my home town for 3+ years now and I am looking for some jobs here in Starkville while I am away and would love to help take care of any animals. As a full time student I think pet care will be easy to fit into my schedule daily or weekly any time that is needed. You can trust in my care of your pets as I worked at an all animal clinic so I have experience with many different animals and things to do in emergency situations.
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.
“Emily was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Rio, for a last minute trip. She is kind, attentive, and communicated promptly. Rio adored her when she came for a meet & greet beforehand. I would definitely recommend Emily!”
About: My whole life I've taken care of any dogs I can, I have experience with all different types: from small and yippy, to giants who can't grasp the fact they're not lap dogs. I absolutely love them all. Whether you have an energetic Malinois that needs to be walking at least five miles a day, or a senior pup who needs extra love and snuggles, I can provide all the care they need. I'm currently a part time student here at Mississippi State University, but thanks to my carefully planned class schedule, I am able to check in on your fur babies both during the school day as well as after! On a typically school week, I have a break between classes from 9:30 am - 12:30 pm on Tuesday and Thursdays, and a 10:00 am- 12:30 pm on Monday and Wednesdays. Fridays are quite simple where I am done by no later than 2, which brings up the weekend. Weekends are pretty much always open for me, besides a quick three hour shift at the gym, and of course an hour of church on Sunday (gotta keep the priorities straight ;) ). I would love to stop by and hang out or walk your pets between classes as needed! Your baby's safety and your comfort are always my top priority. Whatever is needed, whether that is kenneling, extra care while opening doors (my pups love to dart every time they get a chance), or attentiveness in the neighborhood, always make your concerns known to me. I will always make it my number one concern to keep your dog/ cat safe and loved!
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: I have worked with various breeds from a Newfoundland to a Pomeranian. My family owns two dogs that have had two litters of puppies so I have experience with dogs from new born to seniors. I also have a two furbabies of my own. I’m highly motivated and energetic, I don’t mind taking high energy dogs for long walks/ runs or just snuggling up and comforting dogs with separation anxiety. I don’t mind taking your dog on field trips, weather it’s to the lake or the dog park or just playing inside on rainy days! I love all breeds of dogs even ones considered “bully breeds” those are the sweetest in my opinion. For dog boarding if you have your dogs trained a certain way (staying off furniture) I can certainly enforce that while they are at my house. I can also work with any other needs like that if it is needed. Such as if your dogs do not get along with other dogs I can always put mine up in their room. The dogs will always meet in a neutral area before brought in the house to make sure they get along! I am currently attending school online so my schedule is open and very flexible! Whether your dog just needs a walk midday, someone to feed them while you’re at work, or someone to come stay with them/ to come stay with me and my pup because they aren’t good alone at home! I am currently in an house it does not have a fenced in backyard but i do have a big backyard and tie outs. I also have 2 furbabies to keep your pup comapany! If your dog is reactive i will make sure to keep a close eye on our surroundings while on walks!

About: I’ve been working with animals since I was little and have grown up on a farm around a wide range of animals. Living on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals with different personalities and needs. I currently work at Pampered Paws and volunteer at animal shelters, giving me hands-on experience with both cats and dogs. I aspire to become a veterinarian, so I truly love every opportunity to care for animals. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I also have a very flexible schedule so I am able to change things around to accommodate you. I also ensure that my calendar is up to date so I can be confident that I can give your dogs all the love and attention they deserve. In my clients’ homes, I always respect the routines, rules, and boundaries they set so their pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I make sure to ask detailed questions about each pet’s schedule, behavior, preferences, and any special care needs so I can provide the best care possible. Safety and trust are very important to me, and I always treat both pets and homes with respect. In my own home, I follow the same approach by creating a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: I’ve worked in a cat, dog, and exotic kennel for 3 years at a veterinary clinic. I have over 500 hours in small animal husbandry and I also shadow and work with a veterinarian during the summer. This experience has made me extremely versed in reading animal body language as well as being detailed oriented when it comes to pristine care for pets no matter if they are puppies, kittens or seniors citizens. In addition, I am a pre-vet major at Mississippi State University and plan to pursue veterinary medicine in the future. Taking care of furry friends is my passion and I’d love to provide service to you! I’m currently on break from college and work at a veterinary clinic during the weekends as veterinary assistant and kennel technician. I choose to provide pet-sitting and walking services during the week to serve my community while still balancing schoolwork and veterinary hours. Your pet fits perfectly into my planned schedule so that I can provide intentional, safe care for them! At a client’s home I like to go through a detailed talk to discuss feeding times, play date times, as well as triggers for each pet in order to keep all of us safe and happy.
“I booked Kayla last minute and she was very responsive and accommodating stopping in to walk both of my dogs! I know they were happy to be able to stretch their legs and meet a friendly face! Would definitely recommend her!”
