“Callie was very good with our cat, Shadow. She sent lots of pictures and made sure that all his needs were met and also made sure to keep us updated throughout his stay. Definitely would recommend to anyone who needs a sitter!”

About: I understand how important it is for your pet(s) to be walked a certain way, have their food prepared exactly how they like it (because if not, they simply won’t touch it), and be groomed to their personal comfort. That’s why you can enjoy confidence and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by a genuine animal lover who will do everything possible to make them feel safe, happy, and relaxed. I live in the county, about 18 minutes outside of Starkville, and I’m happy to provide dependable, loving care for pets in the surrounding area. I offer flexible scheduling with reliable, on-time visits, because pets thrive on routine and familiarity. Whether your pet needs a morning potty break, midday check-in, evening walk, or consistent daily care while you’re away, I make their schedule a priority. You’ll never have to worry about rushed visits or missed routines — your pet’s comfort always comes first. Safety, trust, and consistency are at the core of my care. I follow all instructions closely, maintain secure entries and exits, and keep a watchful eye on your pet’s behavior and wellbeing during every visit. You can trust that your home and your pet are always handled responsibly and with full attention to detail.
About: I’m new to professional pet sitting, but I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and currently have two dogs of my own who absolutely love other animals. Caring for them has given me daily hands-on experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and lots of patience and attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love and care I give my own. I’m responsible, attentive, and excited to build experience while providing a safe and happy environment for your pup. I work Monday through Friday from 8am–5pm, but I’m available for morning and evening care, walks, drop-ins, and weekend services. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to structured feeding schedules, walks, and giving lots of attention before and after work. On weekends, I have more flexibility for extended care and quality time. We live on private land with plenty of space for safe outdoor time. While our property is not fenced, I always use a leash for walks and outdoor time to ensure your pet’s safety. I’m very mindful and attentive when it comes to supervision. I also have two friendly dogs who love other animals, and I carefully monitor all interactions to make sure everyone feels comfortable. Your pet will be treated with the same care and responsibility I give my own.
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.
“Sara did a great job during the boarding. She sent many of pictures and videos so I can enjoy my trip without any worries. Grett looked enjoying and comfortable during the stay! I’ll definitely book the service again :) Thanks Sara!”

About: I have taken care of many kinds of dogs. I am always excited to take care of dogs. They are my best friend. I love them. I am willing to work Full-time every day of the week. I will board dogs if needed. I will take care of them like they are my own. I will give them their medications if needed. I will walk them as far as the owner wants me to walk them. Dogs are always welcome.
About: I’ve been a veterinary technician for 5 years working in primarily emergency services but also general practice, oncology and ophthalmology. I’m comfortable and confident with animals of every age, temperment and practice a fear free approach. Rest assured your pet will be loved and well cared for at all times. I’m available for sitting, walks and medication administration, boarding and day care I currently manage a veterinary hospital but I am able to take pets to work with me daily alongside my golden retriever Appa. If your pet prefers to hangout at home instead I have pet cameras to monitor them while I am working. I have 32 acres of property and an invisible fence available for dogs in need of some exercise. My home is 2 stories and big enough to accommodate large dogs. I have a spare bedroom dedicated to my cats filled with toys and towers for them so I can easily assist felines in need of a more confined space
About: I am flexible with any care your pet may need. I have a direct line to a vet clinic where I also work at. I also accept pets with prescribed medications or special needs. 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.
About: I work at Shaggy Hound where we treat your dogs just like our own. I take care of dogs from 3 months to 17 years old. I can administer medications and keep them on a regular schedule. I can also start training your dog basic commands while they are in my care. I believe what sets me apart from other people is my knowledge and experience. I used to work at a vet clinic for four years and now I work as a Kennel Tech. I have gained so much confidence in my ability to handle and work with animals. Pet care fits into my routine because it’s what I do for work, i work with dogs and then I come home and get to spoil my own dog and cats. I have a passion for caring for animals because they can’t do it for themselves. Your pets depend on you and that is my motivation to be better for them everyday. I care for other people’s animals with the same genuine love as I do my own. Pets are apart of the family and deserve to see love and respect always.

“Jaide was super sweet and detailed in her daily report cards! I felt like I knew exactly how my cats behaved while she was visiting because of her notes and pictures :) Would definitely book again.”

About: I’ve loved and have been taken care of animals since I was a kid. Also I am currently attending school to specialize in animals behavior. I am currently working a part time job, so I have more than enough time on my hands to fit pet sitting in my schedule. I am very attentive to the pets at all time. I also make sure that anything that could possibly harm them isn’t in their vicinity.

“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!”
