Dog Walkers in Richmond, MS

About: 🐾 Growing up in Mississippi, animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and currently have 5 fur babies of my own. I was raised around German Shepherds and have extensive experience with large, intelligent breeds that require consistency, patience, and confidence. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. In addition to my love for animals, I’m currently a nursing student, which has strengthened my attention to detail, responsibility, and commitment to providing quality care. I understand how important it is to follow routines, monitor, and communicate clearly with pet parents. I know leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision, and I don’t take that trust lightly. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care and treat every pet like one of my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m used to staying organized and managing responsibilities, which helps me ensure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. Since pet care is already a regular part of my life, adding your furry family member to my routine feels natural and enjoyable. Safety is always my top priority. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, and any special needs before care begins. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise requirements, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and closely supervise pets during walks, playtime, and outdoor activities. As a nursing student, I’m detail-oriented and comfortable monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Lakyn is AMAZING! Goes above and beyond every time with Bear... I can always tell the days she walks him because he is in such good spirits when we get home. He also is getting his strength back in his right leg from a previous injury with the walks twice a week. So grateful to have Lakyn and her husband to help us with our pup.”

About: I’ve taken care of my families and my own dog for 5 years now. I mostly deal with larger breed dogs but I’m also open to smaller breeds as well. I often take care of my sisters 3 dogs while she’s out of town as well as my own dog that I care for full time! I’m fairly flexible when it comes to caring for your fur babies. Just let me know what time and I’ll see what I can work out for you! I’m also open to overnights on the weekends if needed! I have a large years with a line I can attach to the collar so your pup can freely roam while still staying in the yard and away from the street. I have a dog that can keep yours some company as well as a few cats that aren’t too afraid of dogs.

“Tayla helped me in a last minute pinch! She responded very promptly and super early and was very willing to help me walk my dog while I had to do a longer-distant day trip, suddenly. Once I finally made it back home I knew my pup wasn’t stressed bc she had been taken care of. She was very relaxed and happy. Tayla also sends pics to let you know your animals are safe and happy. Thank you so much, Tayla!!”

“Matthew was so helpful and let out our little guy while we stayed at a hotel due to the ice storm! He sent lots of pictures and Weller had a great time with him!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. Always taking strays home and even learning to administer medication and sometimes even ivs. I’ve also helped deliver puppies. I’m currently doing gig work but I have a super flexible schedule. I have a dog of my own so I make sure to fit my schedule around him. I have a golden retriever at home currently who is small for his age but healthy. He loves to play and will get along with anyone because he thinks everyone is his friend

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old! We have a German Shepard and mini poodle. I really enjoy dog sitting and getting to know and love your pet! I’m currently working full time, in the city of New Albany. I have a pretty flexible job, so I am able to leave when needed! My home is next door to my job, so I am able to check on dogs who are in my home at anytime. I am available any time on the weekends. I enjoy watching pets. I will be sure the pet does not mess up the home and will ensure that we will play together. If there is a fenced in yard, we will play there and go on walks.
