Dog Walkers in Steens, MS

About: My dog Lucy and I love to play. We go for 30-minute walks (at least) every day, run around and play fetch in the backyard, and play tug of war with her toys throughout the day. We would love for your pet to join us! When I was little, I was the hired pet sitter in the neighborhood, plus I also had my own pets growing up. As an adult, I've had my own pets and have been hired to pet-sit for several friends' dogs and cats, both short- and long-term gigs, over the years. I have experience administering oral medication to both dogs and cats and some dog grooming experience (although grooming is not my passion, ha). Weekends are when I consistently have the most time to focus on your pet, but I sometimes have some availability on weekdays. Just ask and I'll see what I can do! We have a fenced-in backyard (tall wooden fence) that is the size of an additional lot. The yard has a few shade trees and is mostly open grass. We have several toys to play with, both in the backyard and inside, including a water sprinkler. Your dog will not be left unattended in my care unless I need to run an errand briefly and they are secured according to your instructions (crated, etc.) We have a large dog crate your dog can use if you'd like so you don't have to bring yours back and forth. There are several safe places to go for walks nearby with lots of grassy areas.

About: Hi, I’m Britney! 🐾 Ask me about military family discounts! 🐾 I have open availability on weekends and before and after 7:30-4:30pm Monday- Friday. Before joining the military, I spent three years as a kennel technician, so caring for dogs and cats truly feels like second nature to me. Whether your pet wants a playful walk, cozy cuddle time, or just someone patient and gentle to help them feel safe, I’m here to give them all the love and attention they deserve. I treat every fur baby like they’re my own, because that’s exactly how I’d want someone to care for mine. I work full time right now but can provide pet care before work, during my lunch after work and on weekend whenever needed from you! :) As a pet care provider, I offer tailored services to meet the specific needs of pets in my client's home since my dog prefers to be alone.

“I LOVE SUMMER! She made me feel like my dog was in good hands, gave great recommendations, and was really cool! She was very accommodating to my pup and followed all directions!”

I am a full time student so the majority of my time is spent online doing school but I am in pilot training so I fly for a couple hours everyday, but other than that I'll be home the majority of my time. I can't offer services in my own home because my husky is reactive towards other dogs. I can care for the animals in your home though.

I work as a nurse part time. I’m happily married and we have two fun, rambunctious, sweet boys. We have 2 dogs, horses, cows and a cat. My schedule is pretty flexible and I love going out for walks whenever I can. Especially when it’s with my fur friends. We live on 100 acres down a dirt road in the middle of the country. Not much goes on around here! We have a fence, but it’s set up for cows and horses. Our dogs run free inside and out; However, the pets I sitter will stay inside and go out for walks and bathroom breaks frequently for safety guarantee.
