House Sitting Vicksburg

“Where do I start 😀 Rod did 2 meet and greets prior to my leaving for vacation which made me know he wanted to be right on spot double checking responsibilities for Kacey Mocha, and to get to know her disposition. Not only was he the kindest, most respectful and responsible petsitter for Kacey, he helped me with support as this was my first time being separated from her and I was quite nervous/sad. Daily texts and photos, face time, and coming home to a very clean house was a bonus! The most important thing is- Rod gave 100% attention and care to Kacey Mocha and expressed how much fun he had with her. And my stepdad would visit Kacey Mocha a couple times while Rod was here and he called me to tell me what an enjoyable time he had talking with Rod while they played with her and I had nothing to worry about with Rod caring for her. Thank you Rod so very much!”

“Parker was great! We were traveling in our motorhome with two wild Springer Spaniel puppies for a wedding and Parker came to the campground to take care of our pups. Very communicative during the entire booking process as well! If we lived in the area, we would definitely hit Parker back up for pet sitting/home sitting services!”

“Christi was amazing! She loved on our golden so well and was extremely communicative, giving us daily updates along with pictures. We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”

About: As a lifelong pet owner, I've always had multiple animals in my home and understand the love, patience, and care they need every day. I provide reliable, compassionate pet care and treat every pet like they're part of my own family. Whether you need someone to check in, provide companionship, or care for your pets while you're away, you can count on me to keep them safe, happy, and well cared for. I work with autistic kids on my work days I only work Sunday and Monday until 3:30 I am completely free every other day of the week and would love to chose those days to give your pets everything they deserve! Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in the comfort of yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and happy. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh food and water, and lots of affection while following their normal routine as closely as possible. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their individual needs and personality. I treat every animal as if they were my own, giving you peace of mind knowing they're receiving compassionate, reliable care while you're away.

About: I believe dogs and pets are part of the family, and I’ll treat yours that way. I’ve been around dogs and animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. Friends and family have trusted me to check in on their dogs, let them outside, feed them, play with them, and make sure they’re comfortable while they’re away. I’m dependable, active, and attentive, and I understand how important it is to know your dog and pets are safe and being well cared for when you can’t be there. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week and on weekends. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and scheduled pet care, and I’ll do my best to accommodate the routine your pet is already comfortable with. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so being there when expected is important to me. I believe pets are part of the family, so their safety and comfort always come first. When caring for a pet in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, water, and any special instructions are handled carefully. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Debbie, and I have always had dogs in my life! I retired a little over a year ago, and I love spending time with my husband and our 2 year old Golden Retriever, Frankie. He’s our second Golden and we love this breed, although we really love all dogs — cats, too! I enjoy walking Frankie and we are avid walkers in this house. I’d love to take your dog on walks, too! I’m available for dog walking, drop in visits for feeding and potty breaks (with or without Frankie tagging along, that would be up to you); I can also housesit your dog in your own home while you’re away on vacation or other travels. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I’m retired, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I occasionally have appointments and other activities, but I can easily fit your pet’s care into my lifestyle. I have a fully fenced backyard where my Golden Retriever, Frankie, would be ready to make friends with your dog if you’d like them to meet. If you’d prefer that your dog stay at home in his/her own surroundings, I’ll be happy to oblige whatever requests you have in order to keep your pet comfortable and happy.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a kid, and now work my full time job with animals every day. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, ferrets, and rodents! My senior dog has Stage 3 kidney disease and we provide daily care for him, including oral and injectable meds, and special diets. I am comfortable doing this with other animals :) I work a full time job during the week, hours 7 am - 3:30 pm. Am looking for supplemental income by providing pet care to those in need. I am available after 4:30 pm during the week, and weekends. I have a fenced in yard for my for dog, and a crate available if needed. I would prefer caring for your pets at your home but am willing to bring them to my home if they are dog and cat friendly. I have a senior dog who has some trouble getting around so we have ramps, but he prefers dogs that are smaller than he is, about 55 lbs. My pets are treated like kings and queens in our home and I would provide the same care for your fur babies!

“Dwayne took care of my crew while attending to family business in another state. It was clear from the start what a great animal lover he is as my big dog immediately wanted to be besties. He got my little guys to warm up to him and sent lots of pics of them smiling. He was attentive in every way. He’s a terrific human and clearly takes great pride in his services. I would highly recommend him and will definitely be contacting Dwayne again for future needs. Do not hesitate to book with Dwayne!”

“Anissa was awesome! She stayed at our house and took care of our dog and 2 cats. Communication was super easy, and she sent updates with photos. She even took our pup to the obedience class, that she’s enrolled in, so she didn’t miss it! Couldn’t have asked for a easier experience for our first time booking a house sitter through Rover.”

Brynn J.

“Casey was fantastic! I appreciated her communication ahead of tome and pre-meeting us and then updates and pictures throughout the visit. Will definitely be scheduling again!”

Christie C.

“Morgan took such good care of Alice! Received daily updates and very communicative. Will definitely hire again!”

Dan K.

“We are so grateful to Christie and her daughter. They give so much love and attention to Roxy while I’m away! Christie is a terrific communicator-she sends photos and keeps me updated when I’m traveling. I really could not ask for a more thoughtful and contentious care taker. She’s an absolute gem.”

About: Hello! My name is Garin and I’m a happy business owner as well as avid movie buff and traveler. If hired I promise to take the best care possible of your beloved furry ones whenever the time is needed! As a business owner I have unique flexibility for pet’s different needs and am available just about anytime even last minute and on some holidays We have a beloved cat Clover that mostly hangs out in our room and has a comfortable playpen when we take longer trips that we can’t bring her on. When caring for client pets we usually attempt minimal routine disruption and treat the pets as if they were our own on our own schedule

About: I've owned dogs my whole life and I can appreciate every breed. They all deserve love and compassion, and I've recently made room for cats, as well. Pets are family members, so I don't mind lending a hand for family! I have two jobs, but I am hoping to make this a replacement second job. My day job, I get out at 3pm and I have the rest of the day to help out. Of course, I have my own dog, so I'd like to stop home and care for her first before helping out where I'm needed, but other than that, I have a pretty open schedule, especially on the weekends! I will always opt for going to a client's home because I rent my place of living and am limited in bringing around other pets. I will follow any instructions given to me by my clients, and am very good at sending updates!!

“Athena is great! My dog was well loved with her!”

“Amie was amazing. I was SO nervous about leaving my boy for two nights and being so far away from him for that long, but he was in such great hands with Amie. She arrived before I left, making it a smooth transition, and we was able to stay with Oscar until I got home. She was amazing with him and it is clear that he loves her, and she was so respectful of my little home. Things were freshly washed and cleaned and neatly put away; I didn't have to do a single extra thing except spend quality time with my boy. Amie is incredible, and it is clear to me that she loves the animals she watches so much. I will definitely be hiring her again.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've been lucky to parent dogs, cats, and horses, including two retired racing Greyhounds and a tuxedo cat who made me a certified cat person. Beyond my own, I've been caring for pets professionally (i.e., beyond friends and family) for more than 15 years, and after taking some time away while completing my PhD and living abroad, I'm excited to be back doing something I've always loved. In 2011, I started walking pups professionally in Chicago as a side gig during my breaks from tour managing for a band, which quickly turned into my dog-walking clients asking me to stay in their home with their pets while they were away. Over the span of just a few years, I built relationships with more than 30 clients, with most of them turning into repeat (and repeat and repeat!) clients. I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from tiny Yorkies to Great Danes and everything in between. I've also worked with many pets that required extra patience or specialized care. I've cared for senior pets, dogs < 1yo, a blind Australian Cattle Dog, a deaf cat, highly anxious and stranger-wary dogs, VERY stranger-wary cats, a Beagle with a seizure disorder, and pets receiving medication. I've also been the go-to sitter for a couple of families going through difficult times with their critters, including caring for their pets with terminal illnesses during their final days (both a black lab named Maggie and the sweetest deaf black cat named Sam) . Over the years, I've handled a few very unexpected situations as well. Whether it's a medical event requiring an unexpected trip to the veterinarian or even arriving to a cat drop-in visit to find that the apartment had experienced a break-in (in my Chicago days, which included working with police and gathering the terrified cats from the apartment stairwell), I've stayed calm, communicated clearly, and focused on keeping the critters safe and the clients informed. There have also been several occasions where I've extended my stay last-minute due to a client's canceled flight or interrupted travel plans. One of the biggest differences between my prior pet sitting days and now is my flexibility due to my remote work. When I pet sat extensively throughout Chicago, my tour managing days had ended and I worked a full-time 9-5 downtown. This was fine for my clients, as they had a similar schedule. But I now work fully remotely, so I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to spend much more time with your pets throughout the day than I could years ago. I essentially do my best to work around your pet's normal routine. I'm happy to accommodate early mornings, evenings, or midday visits whenever possible. My goal is to make life feel as normal and stress-free as possible for your pets while you're away. When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same respect I'd expect someone to show mine, as I've also hired pet sitters over the years for my own critters. I follow your instructions (the more the better!), keep you updated with photos (lots!) and messages, and make sure your pets receive the same routines, rules, and attention they're used to (e.g., their feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, cuddle time, or simply keeping them company).

“Morgan is always so great with our pets, they are always so happy and she sends regular updates. It’s great to know our guys are in good hands while we are away!”

Sally M.

“Michelle provided updates and services as requested. Came home to a non-distressed cat which is all I can hope for with my shy guy. Would book her again.”

Jan W.

“Krystal was kind enough to fill in at the last minute. Took care great of Maisy. Will use again when the need arises. Hopefully not at the last minute.”
