Dog Walkers in Bakewell, TN

About: The people closest to me know me as their go-to pet sitter for any and all occasions! I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I spent years volunteering at animal shelters, walking dogs and socializing both dogs and cats. I have been pet sitting for over a decade, and come with excellent references. I have strong empathy for animals, and I'd love to become your most reliable pet-sitter! I am available most mornings, days, and evenings. I am open to boarding if the situation is a good fit. My schedule is flexible so please feel free to just ask, I am happy to try and accommodate! I have a small fenced yard and screened in back porch, living in a very walkable neighborhood. I am respectful of any and all environments, responsible, and reliable. You can count on me to ensure your pets needs are met and then some, your space is left tidy, as well as ensuring your home is secure post-check in.

About: I love animal behavior and training. I personally trained our service dog, Crew. He goes just about everywhere with us- trails, stores, restaurants, hotels, airplanes. In my neighborhood growing up, people would call me whenever they went away and wanted animal care. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, and rabbits. I had my Siberian husky for 16 great years. I loved training her. I considered stuffing pillows with the volume of fur I brushed out of her coat! I can help with puppy and obedience training. I can help with advanced canine skills, including scent work, service work, and public access. I can administer medication. I can bathe and brush. I can play and have a great time with your pet! Something else? Just ask me! My wife and I keep a remote work situation which enables flexibility. Let me know what your specific needs are and I’ll be happy to coordinate with you. Consistency is key for animals. I aim to maintain the status quo that your pets are used to in their home. I welcome owner instructions and preferences. If crating a dog, I prefer to do so after exercise and potty.

About: I have had dogs in my family since I was born and I absolutely love all dogs great and small. I have cared for dogs from puppies to seniors and even a cat (shocking I know)! I currently work from home and I am able to give great attention to your pet. If you need any urgent care, just let me know. I like to let pets warm up to me, I don’t like to try and pet them or hold them - I think it’s better to let them learn to like you. Once they’ve accepted me, I’m their best friend!

About: Hi! I’m Keira, a 21 year old lifelong dog lover from Chattanooga (Soddy-Daisy/Lakesite area) who’s completely obsessed with giving dogs the best care possible. I had the privilege of caring for my soul dog Charley (a mini schnauzer) for almost 10 years. During that time I learned so much about loving and caring for dogs — including giving daily subcutaneous fluids when he needed them. Because of him, I’m especially gentle and patient with senior dogs, but I also adore puppies and their endless energy! I’m very loving, attentive, and flexible with scheduling. Whether you need daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I treat every dog like they’re my own. Your fur baby will get lots of cuddles, playtime, and genuine affection while you’re away. I’d be honored to care for your dog (or cat! I’m very good with cats although I do have fewer years of experience with them!) Feel free to message me with any questions 💕 I currently work part time at a grocery store, so I have ample time to stay with and play with your pups! I usually work 3-10pm, and I have an hour break that I am able to come check on your dog. My scheduling at work is also very flexible, so if you have a dog that needs 24/7 care, that’s also not an issue for me! I can’t offer care from my home, I live with too many people and would hate to stress out your pet, but I can come and stay in your home, whether it be overnight or drop-ins. I’m very good about feeding on time, watching the water bowl, giving frequent potty breaks, and taking a few walks throughout the day. I will also adhere to any special requests you may have for your pup!

About: We have 8 acres with a large fenced in yard providing lots of room to run. We treat them like a member of the family. Our Mini-Aussie Dingo loves the company too!! We are 15 minutes from downtown Chattanooga and lots of mountain climbing, water adventures, and trails around us! I am an online student full time so I am available all the time to pet sit in my home. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and play. We have balls, frisbees, and other toys we use to play with them. Details about your pet, and schedule are very helpful when inquiring about services! I’m a full time student online, so your furry family member will have my full attention. I take breaks to play with them outside throughout the day. Huge fenced in yard, very safe and secured area for lots of play time. Dogs are fed separately, and are given their own space for sleeping, lounging inside.

About: Hi, I'm Brandy! When you're away, you deserve peace of mind knowing your pets are receiving the same love, attention, and care that they get from you. I've spent years caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and support. My background includes working in a veterinary clinic, training in pet CPR, and caring for my own beloved animals through every stage of life. As a homesteader and animal lover, I'm also comfortable caring for chickens, small farm animals, cats, dogs, and other household pets. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, medication, companionship, or simply a reassuring presence while you're away, I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. What you can expect from me: ✔ Dependable and trustworthy care ✔ Pet CPR trained ✔ Experience with senior pets and special needs pets ✔ Comfortable administering many routine medications ✔ Experience with chickens and small homestead animals ✔ Regular photo and video updates ✔ Plenty of love, attention, and playtime I understand that pets are family. When I care for your animals, I treat them as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and respect. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or feathered!) family members. I look forward to becoming one of your pet's favorite people! Because I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and am able to provide care throughout the day. This allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Every animal is unique, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs before care begins. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or providing drop-in visits, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress and help them feel secure. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise requirements, and household rules. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, and overall well-being so that any concerns can be addressed promptly. As someone with veterinary clinic experience and pet CPR training, I understand the importance of safety and preparedness. I am experienced with pets of all ages, including puppies, senior pets, and those requiring extra patience or specialized care. I also have experience caring for cats, dogs, chickens, and small homestead animals. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I will provide attentive, loving care tailored to their individual needs. You can expect regular updates, photos, and communication so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in caring and capable hands.

About: Hi!! I am 18, I will make sure you are comfortable with me being your home and trusting me with your animal!! I have been taking care of animals since I was able to understand the concept. I have a chocolate lab names Rusty and two guinea pigs named Costello and Kota. I adore animals! I work a part time job and I am currently in college. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have classes from 9:30 am to 1:45 pm. I will be available from 6:00am - 8:00am and 2:30pm - 10:00pm on those days! Any other day of the week I am completely available. (Apart from working around my part- time schedule) I can care for animals in all sorts of ways, if you just need someone to watch your pet for a couple hours, feed, water and play with them. If you need them taken to training classes, the park, etc. Anything! :)

“She was great! Took fantastic care of River and sent a bunch of updates. I would absolutely use Alexandria again. And would definitely recommend her.”

About: I’ve taken care of newborn puppies/kittens, all the way to 18 year old cats and cranky chihuahuas. I can give meds (subq shots or just pills!), I’m okay with picky eaters and love making fancy little meals. (I’ve had clients raw feed their dogs/cats or just need to add many supplements/powders, etc!). I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid but I have professional care for 3 years, 1.5 year in a boarding/vet facility, and 1.5 year at a shelter. I’m currently unemployed, I can make pet/house care as a 24/7 thing if needed. I do plan on getting a part time job soon but it shouldn’t bother my plans for animal care. As i don’t offer my own home for your pets, I will gladly come over to take your animals out in their own comfortable home. This personally makes me (and your pets!) a LOT more comfortable. This gives them more confidence and socializes them too! I can also offer nail trims and basic bathing as well (I can bring my own shampoo and brushes, or you can offer yours!)

About: I've always been the neighbor to care for neighbors pets when they are out of town. I've owned various breeds of dogs for 42 years and cats for 40 years. I love animals! I can help with the needs of your bird as well. I love overnights. Being retired, my schedule is flexible just let me know when you need me! The schedule is flexible I try not to work with animals after 10pm I can board pets in my home or yours. Wherever the pet is more comfortable. Pets are more "relaxed" in their own homes, but mine is available.

About: Hi, I’m Tony! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m lucky enough to have turned that love into my career. I’m a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) graduate currently trying to get my license. I’m passionate about making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for, just like part of the family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog needing extra TLC, or a cat who just needs a cozy lap to nap on, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and at home, even when you can’t be there. I am currently living in Ooltewah, while I wait for my veterinary license. I have lots of free time during the week to dedicate to caring for your pets! I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own home. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I have clinical experience, so I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets, special needs pets, and administering medications if needed. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and you can trust that your pet is in kind, capable hands every step of the way. My goal is to provide not just care, but comfort, attention, and peace of mind, for both you and your pet!

About: I provide a calm, safe, and structured environment where pets can truly relax and feel at home while you’re away. After many years working as a software engineer, I’m now retired and finally able to focus on something I’ve always loved — caring for animals. I’ve spent a lifetime around dogs, cats, and even chickens, and I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, they’ll receive patient, attentive care in a low-stress environment — not a crowded kennel or chaotic setting. At my home, pets enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, outdoor space, and even access to a private trail for safe, supervised walks and enrichment. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind, and to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for — just like family. Being retired allows me to dedicate a lot of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m home most of the day, so they are rarely left alone and can enjoy a calm, consistent environment. I naturally build my daily routine around their needs—regular feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest. I also adapt to each pet’s habits and energy level, whether they need more activity or a quieter pace. Because of my flexible schedule, I can provide close supervision and make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout their stay. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home environment where pets are always supervised and treated with care and respect. I take time at the beginning of each stay to understand your pet’s routine, habits, and any special instructions so I can keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. In my home, I ensure the space is secure and pet-friendly, with no access to anything unsafe. Pets have a comfortable area to rest, fresh water at all times, and a clean environment. I closely supervise interactions and never leave pets unattended in situations that could pose a risk. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully, and I monitor behavior to quickly notice any signs of stress or discomfort. If needed, I can separate pets to ensure everyone remains safe and relaxed. My goal is to create a trusted environment where pets feel at ease and owners feel confident that their pets are in good hands.

About: I am animal lover and I have been taking care of many animals (dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, spiders, reptiles, opossums, raccoon and you named it. They mean the world to me just like you. Make an appointment here, right away! I am free all day unless I get some appointments from them that’s it. Just give me an update when you can and we ll see from there. I can be in your house for your pet at anytime, overnight and or if you’re comfortable with not just babysitting but also bathing, cleaning with your specific instructions as well.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals. I have grown up with 2–3 dogs at a time throughout my life, as well as cats, so I am very comfortable with the daily responsibilities that come with pet care, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have pet-sat for my neighbors' animals on numerous occasions, giving me experience with different personalities and routines. While I am not a professional trainer, I have taught my own dogs basic commands and good habits. I understand the importance of being patient, attentive, and dependable, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I am currently home for the summer and have open availability. I am about to be a senior at Michigan State University, but while I am home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Whether it's morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or check-ins throughout the day, I am able to be reliable and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them is something I genuinely look forward to. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so their pets feel comfortable and secure. I ensure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and companionship. I also make sure the home stays clean and tidy by cleaning up after the pets and keeping their living areas organized. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I carefully follow any specific instructions provided by the owner and provide updates when requested. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I’m not sure if I have raised six dogs or if they have raised me but either way, dogs have always been a part of life. I am very familiar with quirky traits and will gladly accommodate any specific needs that make your dog unique. I’m currently working part-time from home. This allows me the freedom to devote most of my time to playing with and caring for pups of all ages. I have a fenced yard on a lake surrounded by a walking trail and two friendly Golden Retrievers (male/female each 8 years old) to play with your pup(s).

About: Hi I have lived with pets my entire life and have worked for many years in Germany doing dog sitting. Pets are becoming more and more important parts of our lives and I'm happy to ensure that yours is as comfortable as possible. I am currently working piecemeal for an AI company, which leaves my schedule extremely flexible and I can work in any place that has WiFi. (I'm very used to cleaning dog hair out of my laptop) I have a basic sense for how pets should be treated (basically making their life as comforting and stress free as possible). This means being dominant in unusual situations and relaxed in normal ones. I love to watch animals explore and be happy. A dog sleeping after a good play session is the best experience

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 10. I am a student in college for Vet tech degree. I have volunteered at animal shelters. And I have worked at vet offices in the past. Right now my schedule is flexible and I can easily work with yours. Let me know how I can work with you to care for your pup! I can come to your home to let your pets out to potty as well as play with them inside or outside. With your permission I could take them out on walks thru your neighborhood, Greenway, or the Riverwalk to get their exercise.

“JaNiya was amazing with my dog, Goose! I can always tell if he’s been well taken care of by how calm he is when I return from work. She even gave some love to my cat, too!”

“We have been working with Kearsten for a little bit now and she is incredible every single time. Great communicator and she takes care of our pups so well.”
