Dog Sitting in Starkville

About: I have worked with animals of all types over the best several years. I have personally had dogs, both big and small, in my household since I was a child. I currently have a cat who was adopted. In high school I worked with farm animals, exotics, reptiles, and birds. I am also a current first year vet student. I am a current first year vet school student at Mississippi State. I am available before classes on weekdays and after class (8-5), although some days I get out as early as 1:00. I am available during the evening after 5:00. I am available all weekend for your service. I am more than willing to work with every pet own to determine the best schedule for their pets. When working in a clients home, I would first set up a meeting to talk through their normal routine. I would strive to match what they do for their beloved pets throughout the service. I have experience with handling rowdy dogs, anxious animals, and untrusting pets.

“Payton is an amazing dog and puppy sitter. My fur babies were well taken care of and any one that books with him is getting the best service. He demonstrated patience and care for my babies.”

“Anna did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs. They loved her immediately upon meeting her and I noticed that she did not back away when they jumped on her to greet her. She was reliable and took great care of them while we were on vacation. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter and will be using her again in the future!”

About: I have had dogs as pets since I was 8. Always loved all types of dogs. We have a 2 year old inside dog that is spoiled rotten. He loves playing with other dogs. I’m self employed and can set my own schedule. I have the capability to come back home and check on pets and let them outside. I live on almost 3 acres in the country. Very quiet street with very little traffic. Not fenced in but can keep a close eye on pets when outside.

About: I’ve had animals since I was five and when I was 10, I started doing dog walking and dog sitting for friends and neighbors I also started taking care of my grandmother whenever I was 16 I must spend my week playing video game watching. I’m just hanging out around the house with my animals. Sometimes I will go out on the town to do something. I take them out for walks feed them and make sure they’re comfortable in their house. Also ask questions about the animal if I need to know anything.

About: I have taken care of many kinds of dogs. I am always excited to take care of dogs. They are my best friend. I love them. I am willing to work Full-time every day of the week. I will board dogs if needed. I will take care of them like they are my own. I will give them their medications if needed. I will walk them as far as the owner wants me to walk them. Dogs are always welcome.

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.

“Anna, was a perfect fit for Dolly and Lucky. Sweet kind and fit all my needs💞”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. They are an absolute joy. Friends have trusted me to look after their pets many times, and their pets absolutely adore me just as much as I adore them. I believe in giving pets ample love and attention, as well as activities so they get exercise and they're not bored. I do not work my full-time job on weekends, which gives me the opportunity to give my undivided attention to your fur baby. Although I work during the week, I will take breaks to check in on your pets and allow them to take potty breaks. I am happy to have dogs in my home, or keep them company at your your home. I will keep them active by going on walks and visiting the dog park, if that is something you think they would enjoy. I do not have children or other pets, so your pet will be 100% safe.

About: I’ve had a wide variety of animals since I was young. I’ve had birds, cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters and all kinds of other things. I had to take care of puppies so walking dogs or trying to keep up with their pottying is no problem i am currently fully available to care for any and all animals. i have had a big opening in my schedule and can’t wait to get back into taking care of animals. i currently have three cats and two dogs. all of my animals are up to date on shots and medicines. All of my animals are fed in the morning and before bed. they get outside time every three hours for potting and exercise.

“Very pleased with Sara’s care for our senior dog. She was very thoughtful when she did her drop in and got him all set up on the couch with his ramp and some HGTV. Will definitely use Sara again!”

About: Hello! I have been a volunteer with the Humane Society since 2018 and have experience doing all sorts of things! I have overseen meet and greets with new owners, fed/watered dogs on a schedule, cleaned yards, walked dogs, watched over playtime in the yards with multiple dogs, dealt with puppies, trained puppies, handled senior dogs, and handled cats as well. I went through orientation and training in order to be in this position at the shelter, so I have a good understanding of animal behavior and treatment. I also have two dogs of my own back at home and have been around dogs my whole life. (I’m okay with snakes too, I’ve had one of my own). I have been a pet sitter for family friends as well and have been told that they love the way I care for their babies! I am an avid animal lover and plan to become a veterinary surgeon. I am currently at Mississippi State University in the pre-vet concentration of my animal and dairy sciences major! I am home from college for the summer, so my schedule is super open! I work part-time and shifts are only about 4 hours, so that leaves me plenty of time to give your pets the quality time that they deserve! I will be very dedicated to giving your fur babies the best care possible. My own dog is super active and she gets walked for an hour in the mornings, another shorter walk mid-day (weather permitting), and then another hour long walk in the evenings with plenty of play time in between! I will send daily updates and photos if you are away from home and I am doing drop in visits! I know that when pet parents are away, pets can become lonely and feel left out but I am here to make sure that they have fun and have a happy time! I have such a great passion for helping pets and will treat your babies like they’re my own!

About: I have always had dogs and enjoy taking care of friends and families animals as needed. I especially love walking dogs and getting to play with them. My family has always had bigger working dogs so I am familiar with breeds such as Aussies, Labs, Goldens, and Chessys. Weekends are best for me! My schedule is pretty dense during the week, but could arrange to let dogs out if am able to plan ahead. I also love walking dogs! I prefer to keep dogs on leash at all times. I love to cuddle and throw toys with animals. I also love to take animals on car rides.

“Anna was amazing! Extremely responsive and kind, sent a million photos, dogs were so happy with her! We will be return clients!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in first grade. From my first experience with my dog crawling under the seat to pet sitting as an adult. I make sure to follow pet-owner instructions, walk pets, and care for their basic needs. I take extra time to play with pets make sure they have the best quality of life. One specialty I offer is sending multiple pictures of pets while sitting so owners can have an update on their special one. I work full-time (8:30-4:30) with an hour lunch break in between. I am available during the weekdays after 4:30. I am available all weekend as well as game weekends and holidays. I allow your dog/pet to roam freely in my home (unless otherwise specified). I have a dog park at my apartment with a range of activities to keep pets/cats moving. I can also care for pets in their pet-owners home however pet-owner specifies.

About: I’ve taken care of animals from the time I could walk. I was raised on a farm so I have extensive experience! Friends and family have requested me and suggested me to their acquaintances so I’ve had a large genre of animals I have cared for. I am in and out of town this summer so I am using this as my job whenever I am home! I am open any time and any day that I am in town and can accommodate to anyones busy schedule! In clients home, I play and love their animals. Walks, snuggles, belly rubs, play time, and attention is offered at an endless amount. Honestly, I want to pick up where y’all have left off, to make your pets as comfortable and loved as they are when their own family is home!

About: I trained my old and current dog and now she is ESA certified. She’s exceptionally well behaved and listens to commands very well. I spoil her with treats and play time and I would risk my life for her like I would for yours. I take my dog out 4-5 times a day to play or use the bathroom. I feed her twice a day and give her plenty of love and attention. From belly rubs to wrestling. I would treat any animal I sit like mine. I keep an eye on them 24/7. I watch them outside so they don’t eat anything that will make them sick. I don’t let them chew on anything that could be dangerous.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, and have looked after multiple dogs at once on several occasions. I am a lover of all animals and have always had several pets growing up. I have two cats at home and love them like my own children. I work part time so I have plenty of time to set aside for sitting and walking, and I have a flexible schedule than can easily be altered. I always make sure to keep a close eye on animals when they are having outside time and make sure they are in a safe and comfortable environment.

About: Dogs have been in my life since I was born and it has shaped my love for animals tremendously. I treat dogs like my own family even if they aren’t my own! Dogs hold the happiness in my heart and every dog I have taken care of holds the most special place in my heart. I am currently in the Vet Tech program at Mississippi State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine therefore I am learning and helping animals daily! I am in class from 8-12 on weekdays during Summer 2025! I will ALWAYS be sure to keep your fur babies safe and sound while they are in my care! I will respect your home at all times no matter the circumstances.

“Brooke was simply phenomenal! She gave genuine care and consideration to our cats - ensuring they remained beyond content while we were away. Her communication and updates kept us well informed and we felt immediately of her trustworthiness and integrity. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
