Dog Walking Starkville

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.

About: With my experience working at a Doggy Daycare for the past two and a half years, I have taken care of wide variety of breeds ranging from puppies to senior dogs, and I would love to care for your pup too! I'm currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty open and flexible, especially during weekdays and particularly in the afternoons! I will be available every other weekend. As a guest entering my client's home, I will respect the privacy of their home and the boundaries of the dog. I will complete tasks as preferred or directed by the owner.

“Emily was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Rio, for a last minute trip. She is kind, attentive, and communicated promptly. Rio adored her when she came for a meet & greet beforehand. I would definitely recommend Emily!”

About: I have one dog at home who requires medication, so I know how to give medication. I also have my own cat. I also have a betta fish. I take care of my cat daily. I clean her litter box everyday. I change her water and food daily. I make sure she gets enough attention. I will do whatever is required of me to keep your fur baby happy. Whether it's long walks or snuggle time on the cozy couch.

About: My whole life I've taken care of any dogs I can, I have experience with all different types: from small and yippy, to giants who can't grasp the fact they're not lap dogs. I absolutely love them all. Whether you have an energetic Malinois that needs to be walking at least five miles a day, or a senior pup who needs extra love and snuggles, I can provide all the care they need. I'm currently a part time student here at Mississippi State University, but thanks to my carefully planned class schedule, I am able to check in on your fur babies both during the school day as well as after! On a typically school week, I have a break between classes from 9:30 am - 12:30 pm on Tuesday and Thursdays, and a 10:00 am- 12:30 pm on Monday and Wednesdays. Fridays are quite simple where I am done by no later than 2, which brings up the weekend. Weekends are pretty much always open for me, besides a quick three hour shift at the gym, and of course an hour of church on Sunday (gotta keep the priorities straight ;) ). I would love to stop by and hang out or walk your pets between classes as needed! Your baby's safety and your comfort are always my top priority. Whatever is needed, whether that is kenneling, extra care while opening doors (my pups love to dart every time they get a chance), or attentiveness in the neighborhood, always make your concerns known to me. I will always make it my number one concern to keep your dog/ cat safe and loved!

About: With over five years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and various animals, I provide attentive, loving, and responsible dog walking and sitting services. I prioritize your pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness at all times. Since I only have one class a week at MS State, my schedule is really flexible, which lets me spend plenty of time caring for pets and giving them the attention they deserve. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by keeping their environment clean and calm, whether I’m at their home or mine. I follow any specific instructions from the owner about feeding, playtime, and routines to build trust and keep pets happy and secure.

About: I’ve been working with animals since I was little and have grown up on a farm around a wide range of animals. Living on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals with different personalities and needs. I currently work at Pampered Paws and volunteer at animal shelters, giving me hands-on experience with both cats and dogs. I aspire to become a veterinarian, so I truly love every opportunity to care for animals. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I also have a very flexible schedule so I am able to change things around to accommodate you. I also ensure that my calendar is up to date so I can be confident that I can give your dogs all the love and attention they deserve. In my clients’ homes, I always respect the routines, rules, and boundaries they set so their pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I make sure to ask detailed questions about each pet’s schedule, behavior, preferences, and any special care needs so I can provide the best care possible. Safety and trust are very important to me, and I always treat both pets and homes with respect. In my own home, I follow the same approach by creating a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away.

“Excellent experience. My dog loved the walk!”

About: I’ve loved and have been taken care of animals since I was a kid. Also I am currently attending school to specialize in animals behavior. I am currently working a part time job, so I have more than enough time on my hands to fit pet sitting in my schedule. I am very attentive to the pets at all time. I also make sure that anything that could possibly harm them isn’t in their vicinity.

About: I’ve worked at a veterinary clinic, a boarding, and grooming facility, where I gained experience caring for a wide range of animals. I’ve also pet-sat for exotic animals, puppies, skittish dogs, elderly dogs, and more. This has helped me understand different pets’ needs and behaviors, allowing me to provide the right care for each one, whether it’s medical attention, comfort, or just some extra patience. I currently have open availability for drop-ins on the weekends. I can come late nights, early mornings, and throughout the day. I can’t wait to meet your paw-some pets! As a pet sitter, I offer top-quality, reliable care right in the comfort of your pet’s own home. You can trust that your furry friend will be in good hands, as I focus on providing personalized care that meets their unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or simply snuggling on the couch, I make sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away. With my experience and dedication, I treat your home and pets as if they were my own, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and well-cared for!

“Karennna was the sweetest, most professional sitter! I would highly recommend her to other’s! She took care of my pup wonderfully!”

About: •Worked at a dog kennel for 5 years •Two years of veterinary school before pursuing another career •Years of animal handling and care experience •Comfortable with all breeds and temperaments •Price negotiable based on number of animals, temperament and amount of care needed •We can discuss hours of care upon request. During the week I have a full-time job from 8a-5p. I have an hour lunch that I could walk pets during. On the weekends, I try to be with your pets as much as possible. I may need to run random errands. Your pet won’t be unattended for longer than you are comfortable with. We can discuss what your specific needs/wants are prior to pet care. I treat all dogs as if they were my own. I know each person cares for their pets in different ways and I try to accommodate any requests made •I live with my fiancé, who is a big animal lover. I will be taking care of your pets, but for full transparency like to let you know there’s another person in the home. I also have a cat, she minds her own business. I can always keep her separate from your pets if they are not good with cats. When sitting, I try to not schedule any other events so I can be with your pet as much as possible. During the week I work 8a-5p with an hour lunch. On the weekends I normally leave it open for pet sitting and will not go anywhere besides a random errand if needed. I accommodate almost all requests no matter how unique. Special diet, nightly routines, or any activities you do with your pets I try to follow

About: "I treat every dog like family — giving them love, attention, and care tailored to their unique personality. With me, your furry friend gets more than just sitting; they get a trusted companion who understands their needs and keeps them happy and safe." I am free in the mornings depending on the schedule of my school I have to be at school at 10:30 or 12:05 and I am free in the afternoons on some days but until the first weekend of May I have rehearsal from 4-6 I will respect and clean the house and clean after myself, and I am very good at following instructions and making sure that your pet will be taken care of and spoiled !

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 always loved and cared for all animals, my family has consistently kept at least 1 dog and 1 cat in the household, and I became an active caretaker of our animals around age 9. Although I began with my family pets, I have consistently taken care of others animals for 2 years. In that time I have worked with many dog sizes and their resulting personalities. Additionally I have experience handling multiple animals at once. I enjoy getting to know each animal and finding what they like and need. I keep things calm and consistent so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I am in college, so my schedule is subject to change—please check my calendar for the most up-to-date availability. I will be traveling between Starkville and Laurel areas in Mississippi. I live in town and like to keep dogs (and myself) active with regular walks and time outside. I pay attention to how each pet behaves so I can adjust to what they’re comfortable with, whether that’s pace, distance, or time. I will follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet stays safe and your home is respected. I will also keep communication clear to ensure you are aware of any events.

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life, I am also experienced with farm animals (including large animals) and some exotics (specifically birds and rodents). I am currently working at an animal hospital and am applying for vet school soon. I am also a member of the American Kennel Club and have experience with animal behavior. I would love to take care of your pet! I work full time at a clinic so my availability is before and after work. Weekends I am often available so just check my rover calendar and send me a message! I am willing to accommodate to your animals needs. If they need to be leash walked at your home, or need someone to watch them in the yard I can do that. I am also experienced with many medications and know how to administer them. Your pets needs are my top priority.

About: I’ve worked in a cat, dog, and exotic kennel for 3 years at a veterinary clinic. I have over 500 hours in small animal husbandry and I also shadow and work with a veterinarian during the summer. This experience has made me extremely versed in reading animal body language as well as being detailed oriented when it comes to pristine care for pets no matter if they are puppies, kittens or seniors citizens. In addition, I am a pre-vet major at Mississippi State University and plan to pursue veterinary medicine in the future. Taking care of furry friends is my passion and I’d love to provide service to you! I’m currently on break from college and work at a veterinary clinic during the weekends as veterinary assistant and kennel technician. I choose to provide pet-sitting and walking services during the week to serve my community while still balancing schoolwork and veterinary hours. Your pet fits perfectly into my planned schedule so that I can provide intentional, safe care for them! At a client’s home I like to go through a detailed talk to discuss feeding times, play date times, as well as triggers for each pet in order to keep all of us safe and happy.

“Morgan is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ dog walker! Our pup took to her immediately when Morgan came for a little meet and greet. The next day Morgan came to care for our dog while we were gone. She was punctual, polite in her messaging to us, and sent us pictures of our dog getting plenty of belly rubs. She really set our minds at ease leaving our dog in good hands for the day. Thank you, Morgan!”
