Dog Walking in Columbus

“You must book with Jessica! She loves my dog as much as I do and absolutely crushes his care and communication with me.”

“Paige is fantastic! She was so kind and patient with my nervous dog and won his trust in the first interaction, which never happens! I would 100% recommend her to anyone to watch their dog. She is reliable and was right on time to walk my dog. I will be using her in the future for sure!”

About: I haven’t been taking care of dogs that long I probably started when I was 16. I would help take care of my dog and my best friends dogs when she needed me to. I am currently working part-time in the afternoon but I only work 3 days so I can do early mornings, around noon and sometimes at night. I am very patient and loveable to dogs that just need a little more attention than others. I would also make sure to keep the dog on a leash and protect them from other dogs as well.

About: Hey everyone! I work at The Dawg House playground and salon, and over the years, I’ve also had the privilege of working at three veterinary clinics. During my time at the vet clinics, I learned valuable skills like bathing dogs and cats, trimming nails, and administering medication when required. I deeply understand the responsibility of caring for your furry companions, and I’m passionate about providing them with the best possible care! As a student at Mississippi State University, my availability is primarily limited to the afternoon. However, I encourage you to reach out, as I would be delighted to discuss potential arrangements! I treat animals as if they were my own, always striving to give them the best possible care. Since animals cannot speak for themselves, I firmly believe that we are the ones who speak on their behalf.

“Kattie was so attentive and helpful! She listened to my very specific instructions and called me with need to know information! She was kind and I felt like my dog was safe with her!”

“I had a great experience with Payton. He has taken my dog on numerous walks and has always been flexible, supportive, and communicative. Payton has given me peace of mind knowing my dog is in good hands!”

About: I have had dogs in my house since before I could walk and currently have a puppy of my own, she is a French bulldog, Boston terrier mix. I have volunteered at different animal shelters in the Jackson and Starkville area, taking the dogs for walks and playing with them. I always look forward to taking care of all animals, whether they are new to me or not! :) I am currently studying and taking classes for nursing school, however, I am more than capable of waking up early and coming by to check in whenever I need to. Additionally, with enough notice I could schedule in visits with my daily plans I can easily leash up pets for daily walks and follow whatever instructions are given to me to ensure the safety of your pets. My priority will be your pet’s safety.

About: Hi, I’m Britney! 🐾 Before serving in the military, I spent three amazing years as a kennel technician so caring for dogs and cats is second nature to me. Whether it’s a playful walk, cuddle time, or just making sure your furry friend feels safe and loved, I treat every pet like my own. My goal? Happy tails, wagging walks, and peace of mind for you. Let’s make your pet’s day their favorite part of the week! 🐶🐱💛 I work full time right now but can provide pet care before work, during my lunch after work and on weekend whenever needed from you! :) As a pet care provider, I offer tailored services to meet the specific needs of pets in my client's home since my dog prefers to be alone.

About: Hello I have worked at a veterinarian clinic in my home town for 3+ years now and I am looking for some jobs here in Starkville while I am away and would love to help take care of any animals. As a full time student I think pet care will be easy to fit into my schedule daily or weekly any time that is needed. You can trust in my care of your pets as I worked at an all animal clinic so I have experience with many different animals and things to do in emergency situations.

About: Hi there! I’m Lauren, and I’m so excited to welcome your furry family member into my home! As a lifelong dog lover with lots of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I understand how important it is to find a trustworthy and caring place for your dog when you’re away. I have a friendly, playful Staffy dog of my own who LOVES to make new friends. He great with all types of dogs, and I’ll ensure your pup has a fun time playing, socializing, and getting plenty of exercise. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime in the yard, or cozy naps inside, your dog will feel right at home. I also have experience administering medication, so if your dog needs specific care or treatment, I can handle that with ease and make sure they get the attention they need. Your dog's routine, diet, and special needs will always be a top priority. My goal is to make their stay as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, while giving them lots of love and care. I also have base access so if you are just needing a drop-in visit I would be more than happy to do so! I am available all day every Sunday through Wednesday, offering plenty of time for walks, playtime, and snuggles. I’ll make sure your dog gets all the attention and care they need during their stay. Unfortunately I work 12 hour shifts Thursday-Saturday so I will not be available on those days. I have a dog to keep your dog entertained throughout their say! I can easily create your dog if necessary, and I have separate spaces/rooms if you prefer your pup to be separated! There are plenty of beds and toys and treats all that is needed for you do bring your own food.

“Mackenzie was great with our Finn! Highly recommended!”

About: I work at Shaggy Hound where we treat your dogs just like our own. I take care of dogs from 3 months to 17 years old. I can administer medications and keep them on a regular schedule. I can also start training your dog basic commands while they are in my care. I believe what sets me apart from other people is my knowledge and experience. I used to work at a vet clinic for four years and now I work as a Kennel Tech. I have gained so much confidence in my ability to handle and work with animals. Pet care fits into my routine because it’s what I do for work, i work with dogs and then I come home and get to spoil my own dog and cats. I have a passion for caring for animals because they can’t do it for themselves. Your pets depend on you and that is my motivation to be better for them everyday. I care for other people’s animals with the same genuine love as I do my own. Pets are apart of the family and deserve to see love and respect always.

About: Hi! I have loved all animals my whole life! I've always had a dog in the house. I have experience with all sizes of dogs from chihuahuas to Huskies! I have 3 fish, 2 dogs (Husky and Australian shepherd), and 1 chameleon! Haha I have house sit for friends and family who own cats as well. I love playing and taking them for walks and just cuddling! I am a full time student so the majority of my time is spent online doing school but I am in pilot training so I fly for a couple hours everyday, but other than that I'll be home the majority of my time. I can't offer services in my own home because my husky is reactive towards other dogs. I can care for the animals in your home though. I am very respectful and can stick to pretty much any schedule the animals need.

About: I love all animals and have always had a pet. I enjoy working & training dogs. I have been successful in training dogs : tricks, different skills and jobs taught , protection and obedience training. My dog is well behaved and disciplined, takes voice and hand commands. I consider Dixie, my dog, a important part of my family. I would treat my clients pets as I do my own which is with the utmost care and importance placed on their well being and comfort while in my care. My availability to care for your pet is flexible. I can not wait to meet you and your pet soon. I make nutritious organic dog-treats that I would be willing to share or make available if wanted.

About: I am almost 30 years old, I’ve have had dogs my whole life growing up and then I had a pit mix, a Doberman, and another pit and currently have a blue heeler! I have taken classes to learn how to best interact with all animals! I’m currently going back to school to become an equine massage therapist and would love to help out as many people as I can while I’m going back to school! I also have a 4.5 year old little girl! She is in school until 3pm everyday, I do not mind having her with me if you and your baby (dog, cat, etc) is ok with her! I am very reliable and looking forward to meeting all these new wonderful personalities! I can do anywhere between Starkville and Mathiston! I currently work on a farm part time so my availability is pretty flexible! I am in and out of Starkville and Mathiston daily between work, daughters school, and home! I always treat animals with a high respect, they are way too good for people and deserve to be loved and played with as much as possible!

About: Y'all, I have a broken ankle right now and am out of commission. I expect to be available again in September 2025. I'll update my calendar once I know! My dog Lucy and I love to play. We go for 30-minute walks (at least) every day, run around and play fetch in the backyard, and play tug of war with her toys throughout the day. We would love for your pet to join us! When I was little, I was the hired pet sitter in the neighborhood, plus I also had my own pets growing up. As an adult, I've had my own pets and have been hired to pet-sit for several friends' dogs and cats, both short- and long-term gigs, over the years. I have experience administering oral medication to both dogs and cats and some dog grooming experience (although grooming is not my passion, ha). Weekends are when I consistently have the most time to focus on your pet, but I sometimes have some availability on weekdays. Just ask and I'll see what I can do! We have a fenced-in backyard (tall wooden fence) that is the size of an additional lot. The yard has a few shade trees and is mostly open grass. We have several toys to play with, both in the backyard and inside, including a water sprinkler. Your dog will not be left unattended in my care unless I need to run an errand briefly and they are secured according to your instructions (crated, etc.) We have a large dog crate your dog can use if you'd like so you don't have to bring yours back and forth. There are several safe places to go for walks nearby with lots of grassy areas.

About: Your furry friend whether they be a couch potato or a friend filled with zoomies will get nothing less than all of my attention! Inside or outside your friend will get all the play fights and fetch they can handle, or we will sit inside and enjoy snuggles and tug of war. I’m typically available 9-5. Your furry friends will be under my watchful eye all day with plenty of time to play, or plenty of time for snuggles! There will be plenty of food and water, brushing, and best of all cuddles!! Your best friend will be entertained and well kept all while being under my watchful eye. Plenty of snuggles to go around!

About: There has never been a time in my life when I didn’t take care of some kind of animal. Mostly dogs and cats growing up. I would love to help take care of your fur friend! I work as a nurse part time. I’m happily married and we have two fun, rambunctious, sweet boys. We have 2 dogs, horses, cows and a cat. My schedule is pretty flexible and I love going out for walks whenever I can. Especially when it’s with my fur friends. We live on 100 acres down a dirt road in the middle of the country. Not much goes on around here! We have a fence, but it’s set up for cows and horses. Our dogs run free inside and out; However, the pets I sitter will stay inside and go out for walks and bathroom breaks frequently for safety guarantee.
