Dog Walking West Central Jackson

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and was always in charge of taking them outside, playing, bathing, and overall taking care of them! If you choose for me to watch your pet, I’ll treat them as if they were mine and give them all the love you would! My availability is very flexible because I only work 20 hours a week at work. I’m good at time management especially with animals because of my cat. I’m home most of the day. I have an unfenced yard, but I‘ll be able to take your dogs out and on walks frequently. I have a roommate who also uses Rover so she’s able to watch any pets if I’m out. I have a cat who gets along with all animals as well.

“Thanks for taking such great care of Sam! I appreciate the pictures and the feedback on how the walks went.”

“We had a very, very last minute request but shawna was able to come through for us and Luna and went above and beyond. We really appreciate everything she did and I don’t think Luna missed us one bit because of her”

About: As a maltipoo owner for 4 years, I know firsthand what small and doodle breeds need. They need gentle handling, regular grooming upkeep, and lots of love. I understand separation anxiety, picky eating habits, and the importance of keeping routines consistent. Your dog won’t just be watched, they’ll be spoiled. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like part of my family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine as a dog owner myself. I’m available most days and can accommodate last-minute requests. I’m flexible with drop-offs and pickups, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the day. Your dog will be in a safe, pet-proofed home with a maltipoo who loves making new friends. I’m experienced with small breeds and know how to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding schedules, leash all dogs on walks, and send regular photo updates so you always know your pup is happy.

About: I am a dependable and compassionate animal lover with experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I understand the importance of providing pets with regular exercise, attention, and safe handling during walks. I am comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic care, and ensuring each dog feels comfortable and well cared for. As a graduate student, I am highly organized, responsible, and attentive to detail, and I will treat every pet as if they were my own. I am currently a graduate student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, as well as weekend visits. I can accommodate both recurring and last-minute requests whenever possible and will work with you to ensure your pet receives consistent, reliable care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, leash preferences, and any special needs. During walks and visits, I provide attentive supervision and make sure your pet feels secure and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own.

About: I’ve been working with dogs for over 19 years and provide a structured, calm, and safe environment in my home. I have a dedicated dog room with secure kennels, supervised interaction, and clear boundaries. I currently own and train multiple dogs, including a fully trained service animal and another dog I’ve personally raised and developed. This gives me strong experience with behavior, energy management, and different personalities. Dogs in my care are treated like family, but with structure. They can enjoy comfort like furniture once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I do not allow destructive or uncontrolled habits. I’m comfortable with puppies and can reinforce basic training, routine, and good behavior during their stay. I also provide advanced training reinforcement as part of my care. Dogs naturally work on obedience, confidence, impulse control, and daily mental and physical engagement while they’re here. I have experience building service-style task foundations and higher-level behavior, but I do not certify service animals. Every dog benefits from structure in my home, whether they need basic manners or more advanced work. My focus is safety, consistency, and communication so every dog is properly supervised, exercised, and leaves more balanced, responsive, and confident. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not something I fit in on the side. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured interaction, and regular potty breaks, exercise, and mental engagement. My background in disciplined environments has shaped how I run my home—dogs here benefit from routine, clear expectations, and a calm, controlled atmosphere. Each day includes a balance of activity, training reinforcement, and rest so dogs stay healthy, settled, and stress-free. Because I’m available throughout the day, I can adapt to each dog’s needs—whether that’s higher energy, puppy structure, or a more relaxed pace. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, engaged, and well looked after at all times. Safety, trust, and structure are the foundation of how I care for every dog. My home is set up specifically for pet care, with a dedicated dog room, secure kennels, and supervised interaction at all times. I carefully manage introductions and only allow dogs to interact once they are calm, balanced, and a good fit. Dogs in my care follow a structured routine that includes regular potty breaks, exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. I maintain clear boundaries while still allowing comfort—dogs can enjoy furniture and a relaxed environment once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I require dogs to be crate familiar or comfortable with structured downtime. Owners are encouraged to provide a crate or familiar setup for overnight stays, though I have limited kennel space available if needed. I prioritize communication and will keep owners updated with how their dog is doing. My goal is to provide a calm, controlled environment where dogs feel safe, are properly supervised, and leave more balanced and well cared for than when they arrived.

“Laura is a great sitter! She was prompt, communicated, and followed instructions to a tee. She went above and beyond to make sure me and my pup were comfortable and satisfied. I hope to work with her again in the future!”
