Dog Walking in Starkville

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was 6 years old. I used to have a blue heeler that I taught how to heel. This was very useful at the dog park. I’m a college student at Mississippi State University and only have a few classes in person so I have plenty of free time to care for pets. I have two pups in my hometown that I miss a lot while I am at college. Caring for your dogs makes me feel a little less homesick.

About: I have my own dog for 8 years and have taken care of him. I have worked at a dog boarding and kennel facility for over a year. I am in college for animal and dairy science. I want to pursue a career in the animal field one day. I have several repeat clients not on this app that I have watched for years. I don’t have a set job anywhere so I can dedicate all my time to taking care of your pets. I workout early in the morning and have the rest of the day off. I take care of other peoples home as they are my own. I will treat you furry pets as my own and will care for them to the best of my ability.

About: I have been sitting on Rover for about four and a half years and for both dogs and cats of ALL ages, particularly high-energy puppies! I work at State full time Monday - Friday. I am able to be there full time on the weekends and can come home during lunch time for potty breaks. I would keep your home clean and leave exactly the way I entered it. I will make sure that food/objects are not within reach for curious pets.

“Christine is awesome! She is conscientious and dependable! We will definitely have her dog-sit again, and not have large packages delivered during that time for her to lug inside!”

I work from home and love an excuse to get out of the house. Therefore my schedule is usually wide open to take care of your pets when you can’t! I treat every animal like they’re family—because they are. My goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and as relaxed as possible while you're away. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers couch snuggles and lazy strolls, I’ll match their vibe. I am very detail oriented and will make sure you pet gets exactly what they need! For cats, I understand they run the show. I let them take the lead and respect any and all boundaries!

About: I haven’t been taking care of dogs that long I probably started when I was 16. I would help take care of my dog and my best friends dogs when she needed me to. I am currently working part-time in the afternoon but I only work 3 days so I can do early mornings, around noon and sometimes at night. I am very patient and loveable to dogs that just need a little more attention than others. I would also make sure to keep the dog on a leash and protect them from other dogs as well.

I also have dog sat for neighbors and friends all throughout high-school and a few times so far in college! I’m currently in school but my schedule does allow for daily drop-ins or staying overnight! I would love to be able to accommodate requests to the best of my abilities! Anything that is asked of a pet parent I am willing to do for the care of your animal! I can take walks, simply check in with your pet, or stay overnight if you’re away!

About: I am 22 years old and have grown up with pets in the house. At one point we had 5 dogs! I love dogs and have taken care of them since I could walk. I always assist when my friends need help with pet sitting or anything or the sort! I also have a dog of my own, his name is Cash and have raised him from 8 weeks, so I am very familiar with puppies! I am a full time student at Mississippi State University and have classes every day. However, on Monday and Fridays my classes are only in the mornings, and Tuesday and Thursday I have one in the afternoon. Besides this, I have a pretty free schedule! I am able to take care of your pets however you please. Whether this is walking them, feeding them or giving them water, or just playing with them for a little. Just let me know what you wish for!

I would love to take care of your pet! I am a student at Mississippi State and work Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. I do my best to keep my Rover calendar up to date.

I am also experienced with many medications and know how to administer them. Your pets needs are my top priority.

I have volunteered at different animal shelters in the Jackson and Starkville area, taking the dogs for walks and playing with them. I always look forward to taking care of all animals, whether they are new to me or not! :) I am currently studying and taking classes for nursing school, however, I am more than capable of waking up early and coming by to check in whenever I need to. Additionally, with enough notice I could schedule in visits with my daily plans I can easily leash up pets for daily walks and follow whatever instructions are given to me to ensure the safety of your pets. My priority will be your pet’s safety.

About: Hello I have worked at a veterinarian clinic in my home town for 3+ years now and I am looking for some jobs here in Starkville while I am away and would love to help take care of any animals. As a full time student I think pet care will be easy to fit into my schedule daily or weekly any time that is needed. You can trust in my care of your pets as I worked at an all animal clinic so I have experience with many different animals and things to do in emergency situations.

“Very gentle with my little chihuahua whippet mix. By day 4 of walks he was very excited to see Alexis when she arrived for his walk. Unfortunately, weather was so miserably hot outside, longest walk was only about 20 minutes. Shortest about 12 minutes (paid for 30 minutes walks). I would definitely use her again! Highly recommend!”

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 have been caring for pets of all kinds since I was 13. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets, relying on me to provide dependable and loving care. I currently work full time at Mississippi State, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to step out to feed and walk your dog during the day. I’m available after 5 PM on weekdays and can provide full-time care on weekends. I’ve had dogs in my life since the day I was born, and caring for them is truly one of my passions. I’ll treat your pets like my own—making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. I am available to stay at your home to keep your dog comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Along with pet care, I can also handle additional house-sitting responsibilities if needed. I take the responsibility of staying in someone else’s home very seriously and will make sure both your pet and your home are in good hands.
