Malorie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hey! I am a wife, mom of 2 girls, and I’ve had and cared for just about every domestic pet and farm animal. I do have a part time job, however I am able to work around my schedule to fit your needs. I prefer to watch kids over the age of 3 just due to communication. I am able to pick up after school as well as run to activities, help with homework and just a fun night out. I love animals with all my heart. They are a true blessing in this world. No matter the age, weight, breed, etc., I am more than willing to look after them. I do prefer it to be in the comfort of your own home. I’m available for drop ins, walks, and overnight. I am not licensed, however I have administered medication to dogs, cats, horses, and rodents. I am also available for the average runs for errands. This includes, but not limited to, house sitting, grocery shopping, transportation, organization, etc. I appreciate you giving consideration into getting to know me and I hope to be able to work with you in the near future!

Hi! I’m Michaela, and I’ve been a trusted pet sitter and house sitter for over 20 years. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine, and over the years I’ve had the privilege of working with families, busy professionals, and frequent travelers who rely on me to keep their homes and pets safe, happy, and well-loved while they’re away. I offer a full range of services, including in-home pet sitting, daily check-ins, dog walking, feeding routines, playtime, medication support, and general home care such as plant watering, mail collection, and light household upkeep. My experience covers a wide variety of pets—dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats with all kinds of personalities, and even small animals like rabbits, hamsters, and birds. I’m skilled in creating calm, comfortable environments for pets, whether that means sticking to a precise feeding schedule, taking long neighborhood walks, or spending quality time giving them attention and play. I’m completely comfortable with large breeds, energetic dogs, and animals that shed (I’ve definitely met my share of furry couches over the years!). Above all, I’m patient, reliable, and deeply committed to making sure every pet feels secure and cared for, just like they would with their family. If you’re looking for someone experienced, dependable, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’d love to help care for your home and your pets.

YAY! Great job :)

Booked by 1 family in Lamar, MS

I currently attend the University of Mississippi, where I am majoring in Professional Sales. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old and have also spent many years dog-sitting for families in my community. Caring for others has always been something I genuinely enjoy, whether that means helping children, looking after pets, or supporting families however I can. One of my favorite things about caregiving is the joy and energy that children bring. Kids always know how to put a smile on my face, and I love being a positive, dependable person in their lives. I am patient, responsible, and enjoy creating a fun, safe environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. Something personal about me is that I have always been family-oriented and love helping others. Building relationships with families and knowing that I can make their lives a little easier is one of the most rewarding parts of caregiving for me.

We love our Lizzie! She is so wonderful with both our 11yo and 3yo. She consistently communicates and follows any instructions we leave with her. We’re so lucky to have her!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
