“Stuart and Victoria were awesome! I had never met them and needed to leave my 10-year-old Doodle for a week during Christmas holidays. He got to be their inside pet the whole time and their family loved on him like he was their own. They sent pictures and were very responsive to chat and be flexible. Your pet can also roam their land and get plenty of exercise. I would highly recommend!”

About: I've been a dog owner for many years and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I currently have two Miniature Dachshunds, so I'm experienced with dogs of different personalities, routines, and care needs. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, administering basic medications when needed, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I know that every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn each pet's routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the personalized care and attention they deserve. My goal is to treat every pet like they're part of my own family and give you peace of mind while you're away. I am a graduate student at Ole Miss. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I'm available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as walks and overnight care when needed. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I make it a priority to give each pet plenty of attention, exercise, and care while sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before every visit. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean, safe environment. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during walks and outdoor time, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: I had 1 dog for 2 years, and I have very flexible availability. I make sure your dog(s) enjoy their stay and time with me. Dog sitting is my passion. I love dogs. They are so fun to be with and play with. Also, I love to see when dogs wag their tails and lick their tongue out when you give them a treat when you are teaching them a trick and they get it right. My work schedule varies, but I am very flexible with my other job, so I can try my best to work with you and your dog(s) care. I don't have a fenced neighborhood, but I have an extra crate and bed for your dog(s) if they stay with me. My dog is super friendly and loves all other animals.

About: We're flexible and very available, were very active family who loves people animals and plants the simple and greatest things in life! We've had experience with animals and dogs over 14 years. We know how to run walk and train dogs. We know how to defend dogs from other animals and keep dogs from engaging other animals when needed. Communication is fun exciting and important when it comes to caring for animals. I'm constantly growing and learning new things about animals all the time because I'm patient, focused, attentive to detail, im a good Observer, and have wisdom to understance the toughest circumstances. It's such a joy and a pleasure to be able to serve people and take care of the animals. Also we like to take the animals outside with options to put the dog on a 50ft dog cable to allow dog to explore the entire yard while not being able to leave the yard if he likes to spend extra hours outdoors. We have dogs bowls and toys or treats deppending on request. I run hobby farm/ petting farm taking care of bunnies, cows, emus, donkeys, chickens, and a dog in a kennel. I am always going out to care for many different animals. I have fenced in back yard, kennels, water systems, feeder systems, and plenty of shade and underporch areas and kennel. We know how to treat for worms, wounds, flees, and ect

About: Hi! I’m currently a Clinical Mental Health Counseling master’s student at Ole Miss. My passion is animal-assisted therapy because I’ve seen firsthand how much our furry friends can positively impact our lives. I grew up on a farm and have a dog of my own, so I understand that pets are family. I’ll make it my priority to ensure your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I also have experience working with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments through my time as a veterinary assistant. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra patience, I’m comfortable providing the care they need. I’m also happy to administer medications and help with other routine care if needed. I know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you’re away, so I’ll be sure to send plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I work full times but am able to manage! I don’t start work till Jan 5th so I am 100% free until then!! Just send me a message! I offer whatever kind of care your animals needs. This includes boarding, feeding healthy meals (i cook a lot fot my own dogs but it’s up to you), taking to the bathroom, going on walks, playing, and cuddles!

About: I have been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve had numerous different types of animals, even exotic ones! I would love to watch y’all’s furry babies. Thank you all! I’m available week days and weekends due to a limited work and school schedule so I have plenty of time to cater to pets needs. My neighborhood has a fenced in dog park that pets love to run around in or if your pet likes to snuggle I’m so down to cuddle.

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 got my first cat when I was 7 and first dog when I was 9. Growing up with pets in the home I have learned the behaviours and loving attributes that all pets offer. I trained my dog to sit, shake, down, and rest a treat on her nose! Seeing my dogs are the best part of my day and getting the opportunity to meet yours would make it even better! I’m a sophomore at Ole Miss who misses her dogs at home and would love to be with yours! My schedule varys by the day so feel free to reach out! I care for pets with the upmost love, care and protection. I know how I would want my dogs to be treated in another persons hands so I will live up to that standard with your animals.
