Dog Walking Amherst

“Hannah has been great since the first day she started! She loves the dogs and she gets them out for nice walks while I am unable to walk them. She shows up at the agreed upon time and is very reliable! Hannah is definitely a great dog walker.”

About: Animals are my passion. I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and currently have 3 dogs and two cats of my own. I have a senior dog that requires daily medications, with a specialty in hiding the pill 🤭. I also foster dogs for local rescues and shelters and will dog sit when other fosters are out of town. I truly can’t wait to spoil your fur baby. They give love with no conditions and deserve the same back ❤️. I have the flexibility to drop in as needed! I do have a young child and am usually not able to do overnight stays at this point, but will update as that becomes available in the future. Volunteering in the local shelter has given me some experience in making a dog that I meet for the first time more comfortable. I’m happy to do whatever your pet needs to feel at ease.

About: I have been caring for and loving cats, dogs, birds and once a baby skunk since i was a kid. I love all animals domestic and wild. I have raised batches of kittens and found wonderful homes, cared for sick cats/dogs, raised and rehabilitated a orphaned baby skunk, and volunteered with various types of animals. I have had a life filled with laughter and love because of the animals in my life. I will love and do all that is needed to protect your baby while in my care to give you peace of mind while you are away. Welcome to my pet sitting service! As a dedicated professional with a passion for caring for both animals and children, I understand the importance of providing a nurturing environment. Currently, I work full-time at an elementary school, where I cherish the opportunity to support young minds and furry friends alike. I am available to care for your pets during evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. As a homebody, my commitment to the well-being of your beloved companions is my top priority. Whether they're two-legged or four-legged, I treat every pet with love and compassion. Let me help provide a safe and comfortable experience for your pets while you are away! I can care for your pet in your home and follow all instructions to keep your baby safe and happy. Your baby will be my first priority.

“Emily is reliable and my dogs are having a great time on their walks. So glad we found her!”

About: We’re proud parents to a lively crew: 3 dogs, 3 cats, a sweet tarantula, a curious bearded dragon, and a hamster—so we’re no strangers to different personalities, species, and care routines. Whether your pet needs belly rubs, quiet snuggles, medication, or a bit of extra patience, we’re happy to tailor the experience to meet their needs as we work from home we can provide 24/7 attention. My husband and I both work from home, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship 24/7. We also have 2 adult children who live at home to supplement snuggles and playtime. This also allows for time to send you pictures and videos of your loved ones. We have a fully fenced-in backyard that's perfect for playtime, potty breaks, and safe outdoor fun in our pesticide-free yard. Additionally, we have a split level home if your pet needs some space from our pets. We treat every pet like family, and we'd love to welcome yours into our home or care for them in yours!

“Colby was great! Offered a meet and greet which I appreciate. Was punctual, professional, and had good communication sending pictures and the map of the walk.”

About: Hi, I am new to Knoxville and looking for new clients! I love hanging out with dogs and would be happy to give them love while you are away. I am detail-oriented and will follow your directions to a tee. I also love snapping cute pics of your pet to keep you updated! I am a big animal lover! I have helped care for family members pets my whole life. I am a recent graduate of the University of Kentucky. During undergrad, I fostered dogs and volunteered through the Lexington Humane Society. This work was so fulfilling and allowed me to provide shelter dogs with socialization and get them adopted! I would love to hang out with your furry friend(s) while you are away! I recently moved to Knoxville to start my Masters program at the University of Tennessee in August. I have classes at night Monday-Thursday and will be working 4 hours a day Monday-Friday, so I have flexibility to care for your pet(s)! Through my time with the Lexington Humane Society, I completed trainings that covered dog behavior, body language, socialization, basic training, and basic health info. This knowledge helps me provide the best support while I am working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and behaviors.

“Thank you so much!”

“Lauren is great with my boys. They just loved her. She took them to the park near by so they could take them on a good walk. Unfortunately our townhome complex is small and doesn’t have sidewalks and area for walking but Lauren made it happen. Thank you.”

About: I’ve loved animals as long as I can remember and thought I might become a vet when I was a kid. I had the best cat ever for 17 years and especially love long walks with dogs. I currently work from home and can easily schedule walks or visits as needed. My schedule is flexible in the evenings and on weekends as well. I will take excellent care of your pets. I am respectful and will follow your guidelines to the letter. I am tidy and will respect your home.

“We've had Gabriella for just over a week, and she has fit right in with our Lila. We are very pleased with her professionalism and personality!”

About: I've spent several years caring for animals through both my education and professional experience. I am currently studying veterinary medicine at UTCVM, where I gained hands-on experience handling dogs and cats, recognizing signs of illness, understanding animal behavior, and learning proper restraint techniques to keep pets safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies and kittens, senior pets, and those with special medical needs. I have experience administering oral medications and can carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific care instructions you provide. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable while you're away. Whether we're going for a walk, playing in the yard, or simply relaxing at home, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I am currently a student at UTCVM, so visits during the week would be before class and after class. On the weekends, I am open to almost everything that fits your pets schedule! When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the home and the pet with the utmost respect. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any household rules you've established. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure before taking pets outside and never allow off-leash walks unless they're in a safely enclosed area and you've specifically requested it. I understand that every pet is different. Some love to play and be active, while others simply want companionship and a calm environment. I adjust my care to meet each pet's individual needs and pay close attention to any changes in their behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. Communication is also very important to me. I'll provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit or stay so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving the care they deserve.

About: Since I was a kid my idol has always been Steve Irwin, and his admiration and respect for all animals, even dressing up as him with my brothers to go out into nature and learn about all different kinds firsthand. I’ve had the pleasure and privilege of raising just about every kind of domestic animal excluding cattle and horses. So, whether it lives on land, swims in the sea, or soars through the skies, I’ve got it covered, furry, scaled, or feathered. I’ve house sat and taken care of pets for friends and family, since I was a teenager, of all different mannerisms from ghostly skittish to aggressively friendly, rest assured me and your pet will get along just fine. I’m the one you hear people referring to when they say “They usually aren’t this friendly with strangers.” I currently am only working 3 days out of the week, so Friday through Monday I am mostly free to take care of any pets that need looked after in your absence. I have grown up and raised just about every animal you can think of, from rodents to reptiles, birds, cats, dogs and everything in between apart from large cattle and horses, but I love them all the same. I will do my absolute best to ensure that your pet’s wants and needs are met and their daily routines kept uninterrupted in your stead. I do prefer to be introduced to them and shown around their environment prior to taking full care of them so that I may take notes, learn about them, and have a chance to make friends with them before they are left in my care, so that I may ensure they don’t even notice you’re gone. Care for your pets would include ensuring they have access to clean fresh water, food eaten/made available, litterboxes emptied/taken to the bathroom, any medications given, and that ample playtime/pets given for their much needed exercise.

“Kaylee was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time trying Rover and now I'll definitely be using it again. She was great at giving consistent updates and super considerate about my pup! Kaylee kept my sweet boy comfortable throughout the fourth of July weekend. I could tell he was so happy and calm when I returned especially compared to when I've boarded him in the past.”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires a lot of trust, so I focus on providing not only safe and reliable care but also plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they can feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I also believe in keeping owners updated with regular messages and photos, giving you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. As a lifelong animal lover, I have experience caring for a variety of pets and understand the importance of maintaining consistent routines, monitoring behavior, and paying attention to the small details that keep pets healthy and comfortable. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine alongside my part-time job. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure I have plenty of time to provide dependable care, attention, and companionship for the pets I look after. I am organized, responsible, and committed to following each pet’s routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or check-ins. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make sure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. Currently, I am available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays anytime, but my schedule should open up even more soon as I am planning to leave my job. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also keeping their environment clean and safe. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their individual needs and personality. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

“I am always more at ease when Hila is looking after my fur-baby! She gives me updates so I don't worry, and she loves on my doggy bunches so that she is well and happy when I get back!”

About: Do your furry pals need to be walked/let out daily? Need AM to PM pet care during your vacation? 🦮🐕‍🦺🐾 I have worked for years as a professional pet sitter with a licensed agency as well as through Rover, and I have two senior doggos of my own. 💜 One of my dogs has severe arthritis and needs help to walk and encouragement to eat, so I am familiar with senior needs. I can help senior dogs walk and exercise, as well as administer oral/nasal/ear medications. I keep a pet first aid kit in my car at all times, just in case! ⛑️ I am comfortable around all ages, sizes, breeds, and energy levels 🐕‍🦺🐈🐩🐕🦮🐈‍⬛ This is my full time job and I love it! I can accommodate one off vacation bookings or daily visits/walks 🦮🐈‍⬛ Small to large, I love to care for furry friends 💗 I always want animals in my care to feel relaxed and safe, so I like to know all their words(go potty, outside, etc.) and their little quirks(loves to give kisses, hates tail being touched, favorite places to sleep, etc.) I need to meet an animal with their owner before I take care of them alone. I will only walk dogs on a leash, no off leash walking. I never wear headphones or use my phone excessively while taking care of your pet. I always use pet waste bags on walks and dispose of it in the proper receptacle at the end. I want your home to look exactly as you left it, with healthy, happy fur kiddos waiting for you when you return! Please let me know locations of cleaning supplies and trash cans so I can take care of any accidents that might happen.
