“Destiny was there for me last minute on a holiday weekend. She’s got a dog park right behind her apartment, and she took great care of my dog for the day. She kep me updated on my dogs stay and sent me photos throughout the day so I knew my pup was doing well. Thank you Destiny”
“Absolutely amazing! So happy to know I am leaving my kiddos in good hands. Summer and McKenna do an excellent job of communicating, sending updates, and giving my pups the love and playtime they need while I’m away. I highly recommend!”
“I was very anxious about leaving my 2 dogs with anyone I didn’t know. We have 2 Rottweilers and they have never stayed anywhere overnight before. When I contacted Morgan she responded immediately. Then agreed to meet us to be sure it would be a good fit before dropping them off. Once we met her she answered all of our questions and was extremely accommodating! Deacon and Diamond seemed to love her dog Pete and it would only be the three of them until we picked them up. Morgan let them sleep in the floor of her bedroom and sent pictures throughout their stay. I was definitely more relaxed knowing they were doing ok! I would definitely recommend Morgan as a sitter!”
“Mason literally was a like saver. We were visiting from New Orleans for a wedding in Oxford. The hotel was pet friendly but we realized quickly that our newest puppy ( who we had never traveled with) was a howler when left in the hotel room. Last minute we reached out to Mason who agreed to watch both our pups at the last minute. She was extremely accommodating and sent pictures and text messages to us the entire duration of their stay! I would 100% use Mason again.”
About: Apart from taking care of my own and friends pets my whole life, I’m also employed at an animal hospital/resort. I am responsible for enriching their time with us through activities, meds, and proper feeding. I also perform baths and I am certified for nail trims, anal glands, and ear cleaning. I am working part time at the Animal hospital currently, so I have lots of free time to take care of furry friends! I also spend most of my time at home! Although I do stay in an apartment, I have access to the dog park right up the road! I am more than willing to carry your pup to the dog park multiple times a day if needed, it’s almost a 5 min drive! If sitting at your place, I’m still happy to take them to the dog park! I can also send updates on how you’re pets doing throughout the day with pictures!
“really nice person and I believe worked hard to take care of my puppies. the only draw back I have is that she lives in a condo and does not have a fenced yard. I have to say this was disclosed to me and I knew this in the beginning. As far as the experience I am sure she took care of my dogs. She is a very nice person and was very prompt.”
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’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years and have looked after dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I’m comfortable with puppy training, giving medication, and making sure senior pets feel comfortable. Friends, neighbors, and family always trust me to feed, walk, play with, and love their pets like they’re my own. My goal is to keep every pet happy, safe, and well cared for. Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly life. I plan my schedule around walks, feeding times, and play sessions to make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether I’m doing drop-ins or overnights, I treat it like a priority—not a side job. In a client’s home, I stick to the pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable—feeding, walking, and playing just like their owner would. I keep the space clean, follow any special instructions, and give plenty of attention. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, I make sure they have a quiet, safe space with lots of love and supervision.

Dogs and caring for animals is something i’ve always enjoyed doing and id make sure your dog is super happy and always gets quality time. I am a college student here at Ole Miss and would LOVE to spend some time with your puppies! I am available usually the whole week i have class online and am staying here in oxford over the summer! I’d love to take care of your dogs whenever u might need. Id be offering care for your dogs by spending quality time with them, feeding them and adhering to any of your dogs needs, walking them and getting them some active time! I’m super open to any suggestions on how I can help care for your dog and make sure they’re ok when you return! Waking dogs would be my favorite as it gets them exercise and gets them out of the house for a little
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: I have grown up with a family pet since I was 2 years old, and have been trusted by friends and family since I can remember to take care of theirs. I have raised my 2 year old puppy since I adopted him at 8 weeks, and can handle all the training that comes with it! I currently am taking 2 in person classes at Ole Miss, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m home most of the day. My nights and weekends are usually spent at home or at the park with my own puppy, who loves meeting new people and pets! I live in an apartment complex which has two fenced in dog parks and plenty of grass around the property to use on leash. I would be happy to crate your dog or administer any oral medication they might need. I can fit any accommodations you or your pet may have.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young and have been dog sitting since high school! I have my own dog as well! I am currently a student so I am home everyday before 8 and after 3! Besides weekends when I am home all day, Tuesday and Friday I am able to fit in pet care by noon. My husband is also home most of the time during lunch. I have an unfenced yard but also a deck that they can easily play on and keep safe! I have no problem keeping dogs in crate and with my own dog I usually like to keep him sleeping near me so we can do the same for your dog if you like!

Oktavia W.
“For as long as I’ve known Oktavia, I can confidently say she would make an AMAZING pet sitter!! She’s such an incredibly sweet, God-fearing woman and has always taken great care of her own pets as well as those around her! She’s responsible, well-organized, and beyond trust-worthy!! As a sitter myself who’s been working with Rover since 2019, I truly believe she will make a great sitter!”
Carsen C.
“I can’t think of anyone more perfect for pet sitting or dog walking than Carsen. I’ve known Carsen for almost my entire life, She’s had a deep love for animals ever since she was little—always the one to stop and pet every dog on the street or care for any animal that needed love. That compassion has only grown over the years. She’s taken care of my pets multiple times, and I always felt completely at ease knowing they were with her. Carsen is gentle, patient, and truly treats every animal like her own. She’s also incredibly reliable and communicative, so you’ll never have to worry about a thing. Any pet would be lucky to be in her care, and any pet parent even luckier to have found her!”

Alissa O.
“I met Alissa while my cat, Doug was hospitalized with a urinary blockage. Unfortunately I had to leave town the following week for a business trip and was panicked about leaving little Doug behind. She offered to pet sit and made sure he got all of his meds and monitored his litter box functions for me. She was perfect to my Doug. 100% recommend!”
