“We have a high needs pet and Elizabeth did great handling her medical care as well as with communication. I would happily work with Elizabeth again and recommend her.”

“Jasmine is amazing!!!! She loves our babies and spends quality time with them! She stayed over to watch them and left the house better than how we left it! 10/10 recommend!! She is awesome!!!”

“Alexandra was great and kept our two pups happy, exercised and safe along with caring for home with care. We also appreciated the daily updates and “proof of life” pictures she shared.”

About: I’ve always had dogs in my family, so I look forward to taking care of pups! Spending time with the animals is one of my favorite things to do. I’m currently working part-time so i have ample time in my schedule to dog sit. I go on daily walks in the park, so it would be a treat to have a dog by my side I care for pets in their home by keeping them comfortable in the environment. They already know and love. I follow each pets normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, play time, medication if needed, and lots of attention and affection! I will also make sure the home stays clean, secure, and stress-free while providing regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they’re away.
About: I was a dolphin trainer for 7 years and have had dogs my whole life! I have experience with training animals and boarding them as well. I am a stay at home mom of an adorable 14 month old baby so I have LOTS of time on my hands. I also have a one year old puppy that I take care of as well. I live 5 minutes from the dog park and try to take my dog there daily. If I can’t make it to the park I will walk him around my apartment complex. We are a very pet friendly home!
About: I'm the foster coordinator at an animal shelter and I have experience training and dog sitting senior dogs, puppies, and special needs/disabled dogs! I also have experience cat sitting underage kittens who needed to be bottle fed! I worked as a doggy daycare attendee for 7 months and have more than a year experience volunteering at New Hope Animal Rescue Center. I'm very passionate about dogs and cats and love to study their behavior, health and nutrition! ❤ I work full time as a foster coordinator but can check on your precious furbabies anytime before I go into work at 9:00AM or when I get done after 5:00PM! If you live nearby enough I may also be able to check on your furbabies during my lunch break, shoot me a message and we'll sort it out! ☺️💕💕 I always make sure to respect an animal's personal space and boundaries by reading their body language to understand how they're feeling. I will do everything I can to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable with me. ❤
“Kirsten house sat and did so well with our pets! She was reliable and there when she said she would be there. She also seemed to be knowledgeable with the care given to the animals! Would use her again!”


About: I can't currently have a pet because I'm moving soon, but I love them so much. I technically have 5: 3 cats, 2 dogs. I am very active and I love hiking and walking and nature so this gives me another excuse to be outside AND with a buddy!! I have a very flexible schedule. I am currently between jobs and looking for part time. I'm independent, have a car, and am willing to drive the extra mile if people need. I understand being busy and needing a helping hand. As long as there is strong communication and set guidelines for how your pet needs to be cared I should always be able to deliver.
About: I’ve owned many dogs since the age of 8, and have always been the primary caretaker and caregiver of each of my dogs and cats. Today I own a little cream colored Shih Tzu named, Codie Banks! I have a very flexible schedule, so let me take care of your puppy or cat needs! I am available for both quick trips on short notice and also available for reoccurring walks & check ins. It brings me so much joy to be able to take care of your furry angel/angels, when you aren’t able to! I promise to treat them as if they are my own! I love all dogs and cats, no matter how big or how small, how smelly, or how wild. Try me out and I promise you won’t be disappointed.
About: I love all pets like they are my own. My kids and dog love pets. We love outdoors and would love to give my kids more experience with other animals outside of our own. I am available almost everyday all day long. When I need to run out for usually no more than an hour. I am just a loving pet owner that would like to help bring in additional income while having fun and spending time with my family. I can not wait to meet your dog and love on them. All animals must show proof of vaccinations being up to date. As well as be on flea, tick, and heart worm prevention. I work from home right now with plenty of free time to come to play with your fur babies. I can house sit every other weekend. Willing to come to you or pet whenever needed to assist in all daily activities. Also willing to house sit in your home if needed.
About: Volunteering in animal shelters, fostering, and independent animal rescue work has given me years of experience in animal behavior and care. I live on a 7 acre rural homestead with lots of room to walk dogs. We do not have a fence so visiting dogs will always be on leash. I have a large room set aside as my petsitting room so that your pet can move around freely and we can have plenty of room to play and snuggle. My personal pets love other animals and are always up to date on vetting, so if they are compatible, they are more than welcome to romp and play with my fun crew! I currently work from home as a part time tutor and homesteader, so I am available to give your pets all the attention they need. Pet care is personalized. I will discuss your animals’ needs with you and we will determine what will work best for them in the way of living and sleeping arrangements. I’m very flexible and want what is best for your fur baby. Pet care is already a staple in my daily life. I'm a nurturer by nature. I often drive transports with 40+ dogs and cats cross country to their adopters and have to care for them all! I have one rescue dog who is very timid and dog friendly. She sometimes comes with me when I dogsit and sometimes stays at home with my partner, just depending on the situation.

About: I’m great at giving medicine, cat and dogs alike, as i’ve done it personally with my own pets and others pets. I’m good at following owner directions and paying attention to certain changes in pets. I’ve never met an animal who hasn’t loved me! I am coming back home from school and will be free anytime someone needs me! I’m more than happy to adjust to last minute plans if someone is in need for a pet sitter. I’m great at following instructions and learning each individual pet and their needs. Family and friends have trusted me to take care of their pets so you can trust me with your fur baby! If a pet needs medication, certain feeding instructions, or specific instructions, I am reliable and willing to help!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, but I started taking a more active role in their care about 9 years ago. I began by helping with family pets and more recently started doing my own pet sitting and drop-ins. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities and have experience handling multiple dogs at once. I really enjoy getting to know each dog and figuring out what they like and need. I try to keep things calm and consistent so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m still building my experience, which is part of why my rates are lower right now, but I take pet care seriously and focus on giving your pet reliable, quality care. I’m currently in college. So my schedule is finicky. At school (Columbus, MS area): I’m available most afternoons. At home (Laurel/Hattiesburg, MS area): I’m mainly available on weekends and school breaks. Best times at home: Friday nights Anytime Saturday Sunday afternoons Schedule subject to change—please check my calendar for the most up-to-date availability. 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 also keep communication clear so you always know how things are going.
Varnado pet parents share their Rover experiences
Liz was incredible! I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our pup. She was so attentive to Melly—sending us updates and pictures all day (which we loved!) and sharing sweet little details about her throughout the day. Liz even went out of her way to buy more peanut butter and a mat to go under Melly’s bowls, just because—such a thoughtful gesture. She took the absolute best care of our girl, and I truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better!
