Dog Walkers in Helena, MS

About: My household has always had a furry friend in it since the day I was born from small ankle biters like Chihuahuas to hefty cuties like my current Bully Pit that I can safely wrestle in some horseplay. Puppies, seniors, we don't discriminate 'round here! I don't mind getting my hands dirty and have small experience in clicker training younger pups along with an energy to match whichever personality I'm given. A boundless Collie? We can play all day! A sleepy old Bassett? We can chill with some TV. I'm not above being put to work either. Give me a litter box to clean. Give me medicine and I'll make sure it's getting swallowed. Toss a cat my way as well why doncha? I worked as a cat caretaker during my fall and spring semesters in Auburn University, as well as own a lovely kitten named Autumn, so having a feline to shake things up would be a nice treat! Trust me, my hands have a good pain tolerance. Beyond that, I know it costs major bucks to look after your pets. Or pay someone ELSE too. Sometimes a week stay for a pet can run up to $500! That's why you come to me. I offer affordable rates because I'm more concerned with the passion than the money. I have multiple pets of my own and I know the chip they can put in my wallet just from vet visits! So I won't let it get in your way! 🤠 I've graduated happily from Auburn University with a degree in Animal Sciences and am settling into a new job. This means that while I'm happy to take on new clients, my schedule is sporadic as it's determined on a weekly basis. It also means I will be gone for many hours at a time. My current work schedule and thus how long I'd be busy for Aug 11-17 is: Mon: Free Tue: 4-9:30 pm Wed: 5-9:30 pm Thurs: 5-9:30 pm Fri: 3-9:30 pm Sat: 4-9:30 pm Sun: Free Safety is a non-negotiable when it comes to our furry friends. Just like I do with my own pals, I stay by them at all times when outside and encourage their attention with toys or loving scritches when they're not doing their business. If push comes to shove, I am capable of safely wrestling an overzealous dog into calming down or tightening the 'ol leash if need be. With cats, responsibly scruffing rarely fails. Inside, unless stated otherwise where they're allowed to park themselves, I stay with my little friends on the floor and can crate them if specified to do so when it's bedtime. If they're free roamers, I let them tag along where I go! Except the kitchen. I also welcome animals who require daily or periodic medication. Bear in mind I charge $10 per day of administering medication, and it would cover all required meds for that day. Rest assured your friend will be taken care of!

“This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Charsy is such a nice and sweet person. Our dog looked so happy after the walks. She always kept me updated and made the experience to be a 10/10. She treated our dog so good and with a lot of kindness.”

“Shannon's been to walk Hap twice. Each time she is attentive, a brisk walker, asks relevant questions, and leaves him with a warm-hearted pat. My second dog allows her to pet him and we are working towards him following her out the door to the back yard. Shannon is very patient with him. She was punctual and cheery. I feel confident in her with my dogs. 5 Stars!”

About: I have been a genuine animal lover my entire life! Since I was young I was quick to bond with any animal, no matter how ornery they were. For years, I have been the trusted sitter for my family's, friend's, and coworker's furry friends.

I also have a passion for animal photography, so there is a good chance you will be left with a cute little memento to welcome you back home. I'm excited and look forward to watching your tail-wagging sidekicks! I strive to be available for your pet whenever I am needed! I'm passionate about keeping your pets on routine as much as I can, and am willing to adapt my schedule as much as possible to achieve that. My experience revolves around pet sitting in the client's homes. I'm a "by the book" personality, so I will follow all pet care instructions to the tee. So I will care for your pets in the exact same way that you care for your pets.

About: I have over 30 years of experience taking care of a variety of animals including: dogs, cats, horses, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, snakes, fish, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I have raised animals from birth up until their assent to heaven. I work for Uber, so I have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to fit your needs. I have two dogs myself, and while they come first, I have plenty of time and love to give. I am a very clean and trustworthy person and your animal family member will always be in a safe and loving environment. I want every animal to get their exercise, so if that's a walk or just playing I will make sure they do so in the most fun way possible.

“Jennifer came thru with a short-notice appointment after THREE SITTERS ghosted me :D. She made herself accommodating to my dog who is sometimes grouchy with strangers and I can't wait to have the peace of mind scheduling a nice, polite, responsible dog walker.”

Whether it’s a long walk, keeping up with a playful pup, or caring for a senior dog who needs a gentler touch—I’ve done it all. Your pet will be in loving, capable hands. I am a student at Ole Miss and have classes throughout the week, but have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! Let me know what/when you need me and I can do my best to make it work!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends for years. I have 2 dogs of my own I love dearly! I am good at walking, administering medicine, feedings on time and of course lots of cuddles!

“Atrisha was great! She came to visit the "boys" the same day I contacted her, and she was very accommodating when I asked her to come back on the same day. I will be requesting her services again.”

About: I have had dogs, sometimes multiple ones, all my life. I am an animal lover, and advocate, of all kinds of animals. I just lost my Maltese of 13 years old which traveled the world with me literally. I was only away from him for two nights his whole life, and that was bc he spent the night at the vets one night, and I spent the night at the hospital one night. He went everywhere with me. From restaurants to Walmart. If I went he went. I have no children, so he was my child. I will treat your baby with the same love, and care. I have a newly build house with an acre that is fenced in. So, if your dog is large and likes to run outside, it can. I also have a screened in back porch. You baby will be safe and loved in my home. I am retired and spend most of my time at home. So your dog will be supervised, as per hour request. I am flexible and will listen to the owners request, as much as possible. I have a fenced in acre of land. I also have a screen in back porch. If you have small dogs, they can run freely, and I would stay outside to watch them. If you have large dogs they can stay out all they want. Dogs love me! They know if you are of good character, or not.
