“Amazing! I absolutely LOVE them!! I love Nadia and Aaron, and we are all lucky that such a beautiful family is willing to watch over our furry loved ones! We are repeat clients and I honestly could not say enough about these 2 INCREDIBLE people and their home!”
“Jessica was awesome! I needed a sitter while in the area for work and she was able to take a last minute booking. My pup stayed with her for a week and had a great time! Jessica gave periodic updates and pictures; I knew my dog was getting lots of love and care with her!”
“We have used Rover.com many times to board our 2 dogs while we travel and have had some really wonderful sitters…but Kay and Julian surpassed them all. They went above and beyond our expectations. They sent us multiple daily pictures and videos of our dogs…took them for daily walks and runs, and responded within minutes when I texted to see if there were any problems. Kay and Julian are awesome! They obviously love dogs and know how to make us feel confident in trusting our dogs to their care.”
“We had an awesome experience with Lauren! Carson loved her and she took great care of him. I got a photo and an update each day that I was away. I would definitely ask her to keep my pup again. :)”
“I’m so glad we found Saskia! We requested her services last minute and she accepted! - she took such good care of our sweet girl, I was comfortable leaving our dog and had no worries on our trip. I definitely would use her again in the future and recommend her to others!”
About: I’m a long time pet care taker of every capacity! In addition to having multiple pets of my own, I’ve been pet sitting for 24 years. I’ve cared for countless dogs and cats but also worked at 2 farms and have bird experience as well. I’ve handled many emergency situations with dogs and cats. I’d like to think I’m a pet whisperer and definitely am an animal lover to my core! I’m currently a stay at home mom of one 3 year old and my 8 year old is in school. Both of my boys are very gentle and kind with all the animals I babysit, quite a lot have come through our house! They’re very used to it and love it. We live on base in a house with a good size yard and plenty of walking paths. I’m a very happy to accommodate whatever amount of walking or playing that’s needed.

“Nicole came to cat sit for our two young cats for the third time. She sent us twice daily updates with little videos and photos. We never have to worry about leaving them when we know Nicole is looking after them. She has been so patient with them since they were small, I secretly think our girls look forward to their visits from Nicole 😀. We highly recommend Nicole to anyone wanting a cat sitter. We will definitely use her again.”
About: Taking care of a cat is more than just feeding and grooming—it’s a rewarding experience that involves patience, love, and understanding. My journey into cat care began two years ago when I adopted a stray kitten named Luna. Since then, the process of learning how to meet her needs has taught me a great deal about responsibility, communication without words, and the special bond that can exist between humans and animals. One of the first things I learned was the importance of establishing a routine. Cats thrive on consistency. Feeding Luna at the same times every day and maintaining a clean litter box helped her feel secure in her new environment. I quickly discovered that cats are sensitive to changes, and even a slight delay in dinner would be met with loud protests. This daily rhythm helped build trust between us and made caring for her feel less like a chore and more like a meaningful commitment. Grooming was another essential part of cat care I had to become familiar with. Though cats groom themselves, regular brushing helps reduce shedding and hairballs. Luna, being a long-haired cat, especially needed help keeping her coat clean and tangle-free. At first, she resisted the brush, but over time—and with plenty of treats—she began to enjoy our grooming sessions. These moments became opportunities for bonding, and I learned how crucial patience and gentle handling are when caring for animals. Health care was also a critical area of learning. I scheduled regular vet visits for vaccinations and checkups, and I became familiar with signs of illness, such as changes in appetite, behavior, or litter box habits. When Luna once developed a minor skin irritation, the vet’s advice and early intervention made a big difference. I came to appreciate how observation and early action are key to keeping a cat healthy and happy. Perhaps the most enriching part of cat care has been understanding Luna’s personality. Contrary to the stereotype that cats are aloof, Luna is affectionate and expressive. She greets me at the door, curls up beside me when I read, and follows me around the house. I learned to interpret her body language—how a flick of her tail or a certain meow could communicate her mood or needs. This mutual understanding has deepened our bond and made every aspect of her care more intuitive and fulfilling. In conclusion, my experience with cat care has been a journey filled with learning, patience, and emotional growth. From establishing routines and grooming to understanding feline behavior and health, each step has strengthened the connection between me and Luna. Caring for a cat isn’t just about meeting basic needs—it’s about forming a relationship built on trust and affection. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything.
“Mary was reliable and helpful, and was very considerate fur any other help we may need. My kitty got his lap time and wet food while we were away on vacation and didn’t have to worry about him.”
“I have no words to express the gratitude I have for Justin and Kari’s assistance when we are not around. Our kitties absolutely love them. Justin and Kari gained their trust, and Someday and Papaya feel safe when they are around during feeding and play time. Justin and Kari take their time to think on creative ways to entertain them, and the kitties always have a blast! Thanks again for the excellent service! It is greatly appreciated 😻😻”
About: Hi, my name is Elle and I moved here to Biloxi last May. I have one dog named Jasper. He may have a little underbite that looks threatening, but don’t be fooled, he is the sweetest little cuddle bug around. I love doing outdoor activities. I take Jasper hiking, alongside me on bike rides, runs, beaches, and walks. We haven’t braved the kayak or paddle board yet but once he’s more comfy in the water—it’s game on. Although I do enjoy a lot of outdoor activities, I also like to have a good book and curl up with Jasper on my couch to get some relaxation in. If there’s anything else you would like to know, feel free to message me and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible! I work 8-4 during the week, but am home throughout the evenings and mostly all day during the weekend. I walk Jasper each morning and can easily add another doggo or two to get in some exercise before the day starts. We play fetch in the afternoon for a short while—the heat index is killer, so we only do it a small amount of time. Caring for a pet(s) is engrained in my everyday routine. I don’t plan anything without a thought of how to take care of Jasper and any other babies I might have at the time. Jasper is my first baby, yours will be no different. They are allowed on the furniture and beds. They can free roam (as long as that’s their usual routine and they aren’t destructive).
About: If there’s one thing I love almost as much as my family — it’s pet sitting. For me, pet-sitting has always been a very rewarding experience. Having your pet stay in your own home means he/she is in familiar surroundings while you are away. Thanks to smartphones and email, it makes it easier for you to check in daily with updates and pictures. You’ll know yours is just fine while you’re gone. I have house-sat for many friends with both cats and dogs ranging from 5lbs to over 60lbs+. I have sat for kittens as well as full grown pit bulls. Dog walking and litter boxes do not bother me. I do work FT on weekdays but I can leave during my 1 hr lunch period. I would be with your pet every morning and at night. I do not travel, nor have much of a social life that would take me away. I don’t do much boarding, but when I house sit I follow all instructions. I also do not allow others to enter the home unless otherwise accepted.
“Saskia was a great cat sitter, taking extra care to make our cat (and us) feel at ease. Her thoughtful questions, attention to detail, and extensive experience were very reassuring. Saskia and her family gave our shy kitty plenty of space to warm up to them, and we were so happy to see his tail up in our update photos. Would definitely recommend for new or repeat bookings!”

My name is Ana — I’m a full-time working mom and proud mom to a toddler who absolutely loves dogs. I work (early evening to really late night shifts 3:00PM-11:30PM) (anything before my shift I will be happy to provide care/services), and my full days off are Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which gives me flexible daytime availability.

About: Long time dog owner of Yorkie (Vlad), Shih Tzu (Muffin), cat (George), and Maltese (Yeobo) - Flexible work schedule allowing me to be home often and I work close to my house so can pop home in 15 minutes if needed. My wife Teleworks Full Time and is able to stay at home with our babies and yours! She also loves all kinds of animals, recently asked if we could have a goat lol …I’ll have to think about that. My eldest dog Tess had diabetes and required a special diet and daily insulin injections. She was our first baby and surprisingly still loved to walk, but not when it’s too hot outside! Sadly she has since passed. Our little guys Vlad (Yorkie) and Muffin (Shih Tzu) loves to walk and climb and yap at anything that moves lol I work a flexible schedule allowing me to be home often and my wife Teleworks Full Time, so that leaves us plenty of time for our babies and yours! My wife and I have had pets with diabetes and heart defects which required daily insulin injections and time sensitive maintenance medications were required by our dogs cardiologist, so we are pretty comfortably with what every your animal might need from us.
