Dog Walking in Jackson

About: I've had different dogs in the house for my whole life. As a kid my family brought dogs in for foster care. We've taken care of multiple dogs with disabilities, including deaf dogs and partially blind dogs. Dogs get along with me well and I'm good at getting shy dogs to warm up to me. I've also volunteered with the Jackson County Animal Shelter, working with the cats at PetSmart. I've also taken care of relatives'/friends'/neighbors' pets. Currently I spend most of my time at home working on my online classes so I will have plenty of time to spend caring for your dog. On the rare chance that I'm not home at least one of my parents are in the house and will be able to fill in for me while I'm out. The dogs that I own eat at the same time everyday and go out as needed, but if your dogs need to be treated differently it will be easy to change things for them. Just fill me in on what your pet needs to be taken care of properly and I should be able to get it done.

“Super timely and friendly! Ginger loved it.”

“Wendy was AMAZING!! We came to town for a funeral. She went to our hotel picked up our fur baby and walked him 2 separate times, and gave him dinner. She posted photos to the Rover app, and stayed in constant contact with me the entire time. I would recommend Wendy to ANYONE!!”

About: What sets me aside from the average sitter is I don't just think of your animals as just your pet but as your own human kid. I treat it as it's equal and deserves my eyes and not my phones camera lens. Your pet, and everyone's pet human child deserves a fresh mind. I can help them even achieve any goals/tricks. I'll come with a handful of treats ready to start our day. Pet Care fits in my routine by a breeze. I'm a stay at home mom of 2. I wake up early prepare breakfast, pack lunches, get them ready and off to school they go. I get home do a little morning clean up as I do that I can easily exercise and play with your pet. After the morning clean up (which can always wait till later) I'm ready for your pet and Mine's adventure. At my home I have a fenced in yard, that's a decent size for small or large pets. I am close to dog friendly walking parks/trails. My neighborhood has a sidewalk that wraps around the block so its a nice for morning stroll.

“Brooklyn was flexible and easy to work with. I will certainly look for her again next time. We met prior to her scheduled walking of my Pomsky, Razia to give her access to my apartment and discuss details. She is very nice and professional. Thanks, again!”

About: I can travel. I have dealt with medications. Great at juggling more than one pet! Attentive!! Responsible. Happy pets! Happy owners! You won’t be disappointed! I am working part time. I’m hoping to make pet care a larger part of my occupation. I’m available more than most people with jobs. I ensure they have a healthy routine. Consistency is important to me for walks and meals. And giving them lots of love! Always being cautious!

About: I’m knowledgeable in breed-specific needs and maintain consistency to keep them mentally and physically happy! I have previously taken dog behavior courses and am familiar with dog body language. I have worked with dogs of all sizes and ages! No dog is “too much!” I am comfortable with administering medications and providing grooming for long haired/high maintenance breeds. I have worked with puppies all the way up to senior dogs so I am comfortable handling all ages. I have a full-time job but am more than happy to fit time in to take care of your lovely fur baby. My typical shift is 8:00-4:30pm M-F. I have open availability on weekends to provide housesitting! If you are looking for constant care (pet cannot be left alone for 4 hours or more), I am happy to provide that however, I do charge a constant care rate if during the work week as I will need to take those days off and I will need to recoup lost salary. For constant care pets, I do require at least a month’s notice ahead of time so I can get that time off to accommodate. I will never take a sit if my work schedule cannot accommodate it—your pet’s care and safety is extremely important to me. I will work with you to decide if I am the right fit for your pet’s needs and routine. Nothing is worse than upsetting your pet’s routine and comfortability! I now offer drop-visits as well! This is great for people who might need someone to check in your fur baby a couple times a day but does not need around-the-clock needs. I am happy to drop in before work (8am) and can drop by after work! If you’re someone who works longer shifts, this is perfect for you! I am comfortable crating your pet if requested but they are also more than welcome to share a bed with me if they are used to sleeping with you! If you have an unfenced yard, I will keep them on leash at all times. If you have a fenced yard, I will stay out and monitor them until they are ready to come inside. Doors will be locked at all times whether I am in the home with your pet or if I’m at work. If you have any home-alarm systems, I will use them as well.

“Thank you for caring for Poppy and Iris today. I know they appreciated the love and attention while I was gone. They were so calm when I got home so I know they enjoyed your time together.”

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Poppy and Iris today! I really appreciate you walking my girls and spending time with them! I know they were happy to see you!”

“I highly recommend Veronica as a dog walker and caretaker. Reliability and responsibility are among Veronica‘s greatest strengths. She communicates effectively with pet owners by providing regular updates and photos.”

“Breanna was amazing! My dog is a puller & she had no issues walking him! She helped me out last minute & was very communicative. If i wasn’t moving, I’d book her again!!”

About: I have owned and raised many dogs and cats in my life and also have the experience of pet sitting other peoples pets since I was in high school. As of right now my schedule is pretty much wide open so I have as much free time through out the week to be available. I live in a one story home, in town, on my own with no other animals. I have a fenced in back yard that is secluded from the street.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 8, when I got my own puppy. With my family i have 2 dogs, a Beagle and a Puggle. Growing up, I also had a Yellow Lab. I have pet sat multiple times in the past few years, both overnight and daily check ins. I love dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, and treat all dogs I encounter as if they were my own. I have a very open schedule that allows for me to pet sit at any time throughout the day, and any day of the week. I would not be able to care for pets in my own home, only in client’s homes. I am willing to fulfill whatever needs are presented by each pet, whether that be getting to know them slowly to allow them to build trust, snuggling with them so they aren’t lonely while their owners are gone, or any other needs they may have.

About: I am an LVT, I’m here because my heart truly appreciates, adores and values four-legged souls. I myself, have no children and the souls that walk on four feet in my home. They are my world, they are my kids❣️ My personal experience of being a dog mom that had always put me in a catch 22 situation, “ Yes I want to go for a getaway !” But then the thought, the fear of leaving me leaving my Beaty Queens (my kids) at home. Scared me, and several times I didn’t take my getaway trip. One of my beauty queens, when she was alive with me for 11 years , had a strong trust issue from her past. Which is what hinder her from winning “The Crown for Miss congeniality”, lol. No, in all seriousness, my miss congeniality joke was a serious matter. That some of our four legged kids have. Trust issues, the ones that are Leary of strangers. The special souls that work best on their own routine. Feel the safest in their own pack. Us, as moms & dads our responsibility is their safety & comfortability. I am here to help, I personally understand. I provide and value an open & honest relationship between you and I. I work as a full-time license veterinarian technician. I want yo open up my knowledge, care and love where it is needed. I love taking care of animals, and being their voice when they even advocate. The passing of one of my girls couple of months ago, has sent my 2 year old lab mix, Miss Tullia into separation anxiety. I am asking if you consider me, also consider meeting Tullia she needs new friends to brighten up her world as well. I work full time, I have an hour lunches. I am able to stay through the week days. More availability on the weekends. I am flexible. I would be going to clients homes. I care for any animal with respect then love. I am here to relax them while you’re away. I will meet up with you and your family as many times as possible for your comfort.

“Owen was fantastic with Murray. He took the time to make sure Murray (and me) was comfortable with him before his walk and even sent pictures during the walk. I would definitely recommend Owen.”
