“Carrie dropped in to feed my cat Sam over the Christmas holidays, and I couldn’t be more pleased. We had a meet and greet the day before we left town, and Carrie and Sam had an immediate connection.”
“Would definitely use Madison again, very communicative and sent pics of my babies while we were away! One of our cats is diabetic and needs insulin twice daily and she took care of that with no problems. Positive experience all around!”
“Destiny was fantastic! She was great with our two cats, who both require medication and special food instructions. All her communications were prompt, professional, and informative, which helped put our minds at ease as first time rover users. Will definitely book her again.”
About: We have always loved animals. We started offering pet transportation to the vet for people who are unable to take their fur babies to the vet and it turned into a full time business taking care of animals 💜 As there are two of us, one or both of us will be available to take care of your fur babies needs around the clock! We have a big fenced in back yard. We have large custom built kennels. We also offer pick up and drop offs if you need pet transportation. Our schedule revolves around dogs 😂 Thankfully there's two of us so that we can multitask while ensuring the dogs will always be taken care of. We have a fenced in yard that your fur baby can run wild in without the worry of running off. We also have security cameras that cover the back yard.
“Reagan was professional from the start and was an effective communicator throughout. She accepted a long duration job on short notice and was very accommodating. I highly recommend using her!”
About: I am amazing with animals! I will treat your baby like he/she is my own. I will keep you updated with pictures and text messages, so you will never have to worry about your babies. I will make the time to take care of your pet daily and weekly. I am always willing to help and can drop everything to help. You can count on me! I will let your pup out in a fenced yard to run loose for a little and I would also walk your pet so they can let go of some energy. Of course, if needed, I will feed them and make sure they have clean water. Your doggy would have plenty of toys, and fun to last a life time at my house or their’s. They will have the time of their life when I have or watch after them.

About: I have worked at Doggie daycare for almost 3 years now. I have plenty of experience with all types of dogs. Besides that I have two dogs of my own that are my actual children. Pet care is a big part of my daily and weekly routine. I usually start my day by feeding and walking the pets, making sure they get some exercise. Throughout the day, I check on them regularly, give them attention, and handle any medication needs. Keeping a consistent schedule helps me ensure that every pet gets the care they need. I always maintain a structured and organized approach to pet care to ensure the animals receive consistent and reliable attention. This includes feeding them on a regular schedule, providing daily exercise like walks or playtime, and administering any necessary medication. I also make sure to create a safe and loving environment for the pets, in their home.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for animals and my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a dedicated pet parent myself, I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to cater to them with patience and attentiveness. I have experience with both energetic puppies who need extra playtime and training reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who require gentle care and medication management. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Plus, I provide regular updates and pictures so you always know how your furry friend is doing. With me, your pet isn’t just getting a sitter—they’re getting a new friend who will treat them like family! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own who keep me active and engaged. Every day, I make time for walks, play sessions, feeding schedules, and cuddle breaks, ensuring they get the attention and care they need. Because of this, integrating additional pets into my routine is seamless—I’m already in the habit of providing consistent, loving care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening playtime, I prioritize each pet’s unique schedule. I’m also flexible and can adjust my routine to fit the specific needs of the pets I’m caring for, whether that means extra exercise for high-energy dogs or a slower, more relaxed pace for seniors. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s a lifestyle I love! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent to reduce any stress. I ensure they receive meals on time, get plenty of exercise and bathroom breaks, and have companionship while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pet is in great hands. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean and following any special instructions provided. No matter where I’m caring for a pet, my focus is on providing the same level of love and attention I’d want for my own!
About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends pets before, for 4 years. I absolutely love helping people with their fur-babies whenever I am needed:) I am currently working part-time in tupelo, so I am available throughout the week!! I am also available on the weekends, I typically work 12-10pm. When I am pet sitting at someone’s home, I feel better because the fur-baby is more relaxed at their own home versus my home, where they have not been and may feel anxious.
About: Hi! I used to work with animals as a bather as a salon for a few years! I used to work with dementia patients also at a nursing home! I’m currently in college doing my pre requisites for nursing! I have all free time now to watch your fur babies! Yes I can mostly care for your pet every day I’m really free. Monday through Sunday I am available and I’m available at any times throughout the day or night! I have a beagle of my own and I take great care of her that’s my baby and I rather care for your pet in your home than mine we’re doing renovations. I always get my cuddles in with the animals and make sure they are happy!! I always want to make sure they know they are safe and secure with me.I want them to feel comfortable and happy of my company.
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 out of state so I am available half of every month. When I am home I work from home so your pet will constantly have someone available for them. 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: Just like you, I prefer the company of a sweet loyal pupper or the hard-won affection of a sassy kitty-cat over Jen from the office. I own a small home aviary where I breed the smallest of exotic parrots- called Parrotlets- and hand raise them as companion pets. I will afford your furbaby all the respect, patience, and genuine care that you would yourself if you could be there, and I’ll explain to them that momma has to work to afford that next pair of shoes they’ll be eating the first chance they get. I own a small home aviary breeding exotic birds, but at this moment all my pairs are resting (I like them to rest between every clutch (egg laying) and so I have plenty of available time to tend to your most vulnerable and helpless of family members whenever you should need. I live on two acres of open land, but if boarding overnight I would of course prefer to crate indoors at bedtime and depending on the pet and the owner’s wishes I am not opposed to letting a well behaved furbaby run around the house like one of us at will in between potty breaks and walks/playtime outside. Each pet is different and requires their own parent-approved game plan. Plan

miriam h.
“Miriam Houston is a fantastic animal lover! As her mother, I allowed her to adopt and Foster many many dogs over the years. She is stellar at getting them to learn commands, potty training and socializing them. Since she was 12 years old she's always asked, pretty much once a month, to go out to the animal shelters so she can walk the dogs and give them attention. She is a high energy individual. She loves spending time with animals and has an immediate attraction to all animals. She has literally never met a dog that didn't love her! She is also always on time and commits to her schedule without excuses. You definitely want someone like her to care for your animals.”
