Dog Sitting Cooksville

About: Hi there! i grew up with a dog in my house for the past 25 years. I moved out and unfortunately had to leave my family pup with mom. He’s my everything and I treat all dogs like my own dog! I have two dogs of my own. One is special needs so I have experience administering medicine and helping with accommodations as needed. Now that ive been working full-time from home since COVID hit, i go a little stir crazy in my house, so I thought I should take up dog walking and babysitting to fill my days. I am a trustworthy person who will give your dog the same love you give them while you’re out working, running errands or traveling! Please feel free to message me if you have any other questions or want to get to know me more :) I am looking forward to meeting your pups! I work from home and have plenty of time to give your pup love and plenty of walks! I work from home so I really have all the time to dedicate to your pup. I can take your pups to a dog park or long walks. I can play tug of war with your pup or fetch. I can even work on teaching them new tricks!

About: I grew up on a farm so I have had animals of all sorts since I was little. I ran an equine boarding facility for 2 and a 1/2 years caring for up to 25 horses at a time. I am currently halfway through my degree to become a vet technician. My husband and I own 3 horses 2 dogs 4 cats and and 4 fish. I love taking our dogs for walks and hiking. Our cats enjoy playing with toy mice, the laser point, and eating treats 😋 We foster cats, so I have dealt with cats of all shapes and sizes! I also have worked with dogs that have a more aggressive/cautious personality. I am willing to work with them as well! Your animals will be in great hands! 😊 I currently work part-time so late morning to late afternoons are the best! My classes are in the evening and we take our dogs on walk in the morning before my husband goes to work. Midday walks and dropins are perfect! We have about 1/2 an acre fenced in backyard that our dogs love playing in and our cats love to play with toy mice, the laser pointer, and eating treats! One of our dogs is older so I am completely comfortable with older dogs and puppies! Since we foster cats and kittens I am familiar with cats of all shapes and sizes!

“Liz did a fantastic job watching our two cats. They were both well taken care of and very happy when we came home. Liz kept in communication with us throughout our time away and was very nice to work with. We'll absolutely use her to watch our boys again in the future.”

“This was my first time using Rover.com. I interviewed Angela prior to our booking and she was friendly, professional, punctual, and clearly loves pets. Angela was very flexible and did a great job caring for my senior cat! I highly recommend her and appreciate the pictures she took during her visits. Thank you so much!”

“Theresa was wonderful! She took great care of our kitties when we were away. Kept us updated with photos and descriptions of her visits. Very responsive via text/email. Will happily book again!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have six years of pet care experience. As a Biology Pre-Med student at Howard University, I balance my passion for science with my love for animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, including puppies and senior dogs. I provide attentive care, ensuring pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away ☺️❤️ As a student at Howard University, my school schedule keeps me busy, but I have plenty of time for pet care! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays Mondays and Tuesdays from 8am-4pm and open Fridays. Making sure your pets receive the attention and exercise they need. I have a spacious home, perfect for dog sitting, with plenty of room for pets to play and feel comfortable. I’m also open to dog sitting in clients’ homes if preferred. Whether at my place or yours, I ensure a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for your furry friend!

“Samantha is awesome with my pets. She has come by for last minute drop ins and has always been reliable, friendly, and kind. Would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!”

About: I’m Chelsea, and I recently moved to the downtown Columbia area. I’ve taken care of an assortment of pets/ babies since I was a child. My family loved cats and as of recent I have started sitting dogs. Because I work from home several days a week and have a hybrid schedule it’s quite easy to me to watch my friends fur babies while you are out of town. I’m very detail oriented and willing to ensure your fur baby has a great time while you’re away. I know it is very stressful for the pet and parent. I work from home 3-5 times a week and my job is very flexible so I am able to work around my schedule very easily. I personally do not have any pets however, I have lots of room, furniture, and windows for their entertainment. The owner would need to provide food, crate, and other needed items for their pet if needed. I have an extra food bowl, blanket, and some toys

“Conor was great with my cat, Lola. He was attentive and kind! We were lucky to have him take care of Lola while we were on vacation! I would recommend Conor!!”

About: I’ve always been the go-to person for family and friends when it comes to caring for their pets, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a gentler pace. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for, whether that’s going for a long walk, playing, or just keeping them company. What sets me apart is the way I treat every pet like my own — I pay attention to their routines, personalities, and little quirks so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. As a student with a part-time job, I keep a balanced schedule that still gives me plenty of time for pet care. I’m usually available mornings, evenings, and weekends, which works great for walks, drop-ins, or just spending extra time with pets. I make sure to plan ahead so their care always comes first. I know how important it is to feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I keep their environment comfortable, clean, and secure. I follow your pet’s routine closely, from feeding schedules to walks, and I always pay attention to details like keeping doors and gates shut. Most importantly, I give each pet the same patience and love I give my own, so you can trust they’re in good hands.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Growing up with dogs has given me a lifelong love for animals and an understanding of how important it is to provide them with love, patience, and proper care. I’m currently the proud owner of a 1-year-old French Bulldog, so I have hands-on experience with the daily responsibilities of being a dog owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and making sure my pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. Whether your pup is playful and energetic or prefers cuddles and relaxing, I’ll do my best to make them feel right at home. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same love and attention I give my own dog! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I want every owner to feel confident that their dog is in caring, responsible hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged best friend! 🐾 I work only 3 days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to pet care throughout the week. On my days off, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of keeping a consistent routine and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual needs and schedule to make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve! 🐾 I care for every pet as if they were my own! As someone who has grown up with dogs and currently has a 1-year-old French Bulldog, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I make sure pets have fresh water, meals on their regular schedule, plenty of playtime, exercise, attention, and lots of affection. In a client's home, I would follow their pet's normal routine and any specific instructions to help them feel comfortable while their owner is away. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I always aim to be patient, attentive, and gentle. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while their furry family members are in my care. 🐾❤️

“Ember was so attentive and treated our kitties like they were her own. She also sent very thoughtful and thorough updates while we were away. I will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thank you Ember! ❤️”

About: I take care of my neighbors pets all the time when they are out of town! I also have 2 dogs of my own and love to take them on walks, play at the park, and take them on car rides! When I am away at college, I volunteer at the local animal shelter to walk dogs that are still up for adoption! I am available most days of the week, and I am currently on summer break so feel free to reach out with any other questions! :) I play with my dogs very often! We have a very big yard and I love to play ball with them or take them on walks. They also love to swim in my pool with me and love water! When taking care of your pet, I would like to see what your comfortable with me doing with your pet inside/outside of your home!

“Nicole was an absolute lifesaver! She came by early to meet our cats and learn their routine, so everything went smoothly while we were away. She even handled giving Roux oral medication (no small feat!) and sent us photo updates throughout. I loved that she played music and spent time talking to and petting them — Roux especially loved the extra attention! Maple is shy, but by the last day she even came out to say hi, which speaks volumes about Nicole’s patience and kindness. We’d absolutely book her again!”

About: As a life-long animal lover, I've had the wonderful opportunity to take care of a variety of animals over the years. I personally have 2 shih tzus of my own, Archie and Chess; I formerly volunteered at adoption events walking dogs and caring for cats; and I have been trusted by friends & family to take care of their pets. I am currently a full-time student and work sparse hours. Consequentially, Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busiest days. Barring that, I surprisingly have very flexible availability! And no matter what, I will always prioritize your pet's care :) As a former house cleaner, I have years of experience taking care of others' homes! This has left a profound impact and, even in my personal life, I take the upmost care to ensure the spaces I inhabit are left a little better than I found it.

“Isabella is absolutely wonderful with my pups. They immediately loved her. She was thorough and timely on her visits.”

About: I am reliable and trustworthy! I have worked closely with families for 5 + years, walking their dogs daily and house sitting and caring for their beloved pets while the owners traveled. I am available daily, mornings, afternoons and evenings, I just ask for 24-hr notice so I can plan accordingly! I am happy to walk them for atleast 15-20 minutes so they can stretch their legs and get out some energy! I also am happy to feed them for their routine meals if you are unable to do so. I am comfortable walking your dog if there is a safe space to do so, or playing with them in your fenced in yard, it is what you are comfortable with.

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and attentive approach to pet care. Having grown up with dogs and currently caring for three cats since 2021, I understand how important routines, comfort, and trust are for pets—especially when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether that means energetic playtime, gentle companionship, or simply giving them space to feel safe. I am especially good with shy or sensitive pets, taking time to build trust and help them feel relaxed in a new environment. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of pet parents’ instructions, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and home care rules. I also provide regular updates and photos, so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Most importantly, I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own—because I know they’re family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I am available outside of my regular work hours, as well as on weekends and holidays, which allows me to provide consistent and reliable care when pet parents need it most. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive proper attention, timely feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am dependable, punctual, and flexible, and I always communicate clearly about availability to make scheduling easy and stress-free. For the safety and comfort of all pets, I do not provide care in my own home, but I am happy to care for pets in their own home, where they feel most secure and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and respect household routines, rules, and boundaries. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times—whether that means secure doors and windows, clean food and water areas, or safe play and litter box environments. I am attentive, reliable, and respectful of your home, and I treat both your pets and your space with care. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and happiness are always my top priorities.

“Samantha was a great repeat walker for us! AlaHs responsive, and she followed my pedantic neighborhood dog rules to a T (again lol I'm so sorry but great work), avoiding the houses she had to avoid, etc. I would trust her again!”
