About: I've taken care of a wide variety of cats and dogs from a young age. Even working at a pet store and under the wing of professional animal care. I am currently in college and can accept care during weekends and some weekdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays are good from mornings til 2pm. Mondays and Wednesdays after 4pm - 8pm ( Fridays Are okay on base to base schedule) I stay in a dorm, so home sitting wouldn't work for me. Working for my clients your pet will be safe and well taken care of.
About: I've been around many different breeds and sizes of dogs since I was a little kid. Family, friends, and neighbors have all had me to care for their dogs on multiple occasions for the past 4 years since I absolutely adore dogs and puppies! I'm presently working full-time with a varying schedule (we are quite understaffed, so lately my hours of been long full-time night shifts that start at 1:30), so most of my mornings (until 1) are free to play and care for your pups! My part-time job schedule allows me 2 off days every week--we can definitely discuss and work around times to see what can work for you! I want to be able to provide the best loving care that will best suit and accommodate your dog! Have an active dog? Let's play fetch, tug-of-war, and go for walks! Separation anxiety? I'll make sure to comfort your dog while you're away! While you're away having fun, I'll make sure your dog is having fun too! :)
“Kyra is absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend her enough. She spends so much time with Koda and takes the best photos on their walks. I know that my little guy is well taken care of in Kyra’s care. I will continue to use her anytime I am in Jackson!”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid. I would love to able to walk and watch your pets for you. I currently work in the animal field and would love a way to enjoy my passion and make money for my savings. I currently work a part time job and would need to text or have a call about what days I’m available. I would prefer a day of walks, check-ins, and would be open to overnight. I would love to sit at the owners home. I would take them for daily walks in your neighborhood or nearby parks. I’m also good at nap time and daily feedings for your pets.
About: Hi, I’m Ayanna! I have taken care of dogs and other pets for most of my life and nothing makes me happier! I love giving attention and affection to all animals. I don't have a fenced-in yard but the inside of my house is very spacious for them to run around and have loads of fun. I also have a 10-year-old Manchester mix who is kinda lazy haha and a 1-year-old Jack Russel who is very hyper and playful so she doesn't take a lot to be persuaded to play if your puppy is as hyper as mine is. I take my job very seriously and my main priority when watching your pup is to make sure they're safe and comfortable while in my care. If you have any questions at all please send me a Message :).

About: Hello! I am an experienced dog walker and animal caretaker. I am a lover of all animals and have had a variety of animals as pets throughout my life. I have had cats, dogs, fish, reptiles, and hamsters, and can provide care for any of these animals. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and abilities and can provide any care they need. Prior to moving to Mississippi, I primarily used Wag (see my profile in the photos), which I noticed isn’t very popular here. I have a flexible schedule and I’m hoping to continue to build my client list here on Rover. I currently work full-time from home and travel occasionally. I am able to walk dogs or complete drop-ins early in the morning, during my lunch break, after my work day, and anytime on the weekends. Although my 3 cats are used to family dogs visiting our home, I am unfortunately unable to board any cats or dogs in my home due to the space of my apartment. However, I’m happy to sit in your home, stay as needed, and complete drop-ins while you’re away.

About: As a life long animal lover I finally realized my dream of working with pets starting in 2015. I have been employed at multiple dog daycares and held consistent pet sitting and dog walking positions for many clients. I have been responsible for dogs and cats of all ages, feeding, giving medication, assisting with training, communicating with clients and making sure all the pets in my care are happy and safe while also having fun. As a full time dog walker and pet sitter my schedule is open and flexible, I am available for visits and walks during the day, as well as nights and weekends. Since 2015 I have worked with dogs in different settings and developed excellent leash handling skills and training techniques. I plan to take care of clients pets as if they were my own and am comfortable and willing to stop by clients houses for daily visits as well as for dog walking.
About: I am a pet groomer of 10+ yrs. I am cat and dog CPR and First Aid certified. I have worked in a vet clinic for 2 years as a groomer where I filled in for vet techs also. I have completed dog training courses and animal behavioral courses. Taking care of pets is more than just a job. It is something I am passionate about, and providing the best care for these fur babies. I am a house call dog groomer running my own buisness so I makes sure to schedule everyone around eachother to make sure all the pets in my care are taken care of. I am very flexible as every dog and or cat has different needs. I have slip leads and extra leashes if needed but would prefer if you had your own. For pet walking I ask that you have a secured collar or harness to use for their walk. I have poop bags on hand always. If you send me a message telling me what your looking for specifically I can do that or we can talk it out to fit your needs. If I am pet sitting in your home I would like a list of things for your pet like food and or medications, how much they need and when they need them etc. How often you want them taken out. Are you looking for someone to stay overnight or make visits throughout the day, etc. As I said I am very flexible it just depends on what your pets needs are and what is available
About: I'm a freelance writer and blogger and have the flexibility of working from home. I have two chihuahuas of my own. They are both older dogs and pretty chill. I have a masters in mass communication where I studied animal behavior and the media's influence on society's views of animals. I adore all living things. If I could have any job in the world and money wasn’t an issue, I’d open my own animal shelter and animal protection organization. Having the resources to shelter as many animals as possible would bring me the utmost joy and sense of fulfillment. I'm more than happy to brush your dog/cat and offer delicious homemade treats. Please supply a list of any medical conditions or allergies your animal may have. **IMPORTANT** If your dog is not comfortable with people, please do not request my services. I don't want to take any chances risking your dog's safety or my own. Thank you.

We found her to be a true animal lover who was attentive to the needs of our pets. Our dog was fed, walked, exercised and pampered. The cats also enjoyed cuddles and care. On one occasion, our cat became ill while we were out of the country. Lauren alerted us and took the cat to the vet securing the care she needed. While sitting for us, Lauren would occasionally send pictures of our furry friends and it was nice to see them having fun in her care. Lauren has been consistently responsible. We trust her with our pets and home. I would highly recommend her as a house/pet sitter.”
