Dog Walkers in Carthage, TN

About: Since childhood, I've had dogs, cats, fish and snakes. In the past 10 years, we have 5 dogs in the family. I have taken care of friend's pets as well (dogs and bunny). I take pride in trying to understand all their different personalities and letting them be their true selves. Seeing a true smile on a dogs face, while they're doing zoomies or running through the backyard, brings me so much joy <3 I am open to dog walks and house visits currently. My availability is mostly weekdays, but I am open to the occasional evening, weekend or overnight. I will be sure your pets are safe and happy, with full water bowls, and fed/given medication on their schedule. (We have several seniors that need medication on a schedule, so I fully understand the importance of that). I am happy to play with your pets in your yard (after I check the gate is secure), or in the house. I also provide plenty of attention in the way of pets and snuggles :)

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life, always there was a dog or cat as part of the family. I have cared for pets for family and friends over the years. I would love to care for your fur baby. I promise to love and care if they were my own. I currently own a Boston Terrier, her name is Sadie Rose. She is my 2nd Boston, and she is my little love. My 1st Boston, Chakka died from cancer 6 months before I got Sadie. I have owned every dog from Labs, Rottweilers to now Boston Terriers, and a few mixed breeds in between. I love my little Sadie Rose and want her to be loved by anyone who cares for her. I would treat your pets the same. I am working 4 days a month at the hospital. I would have lots of time to care for your pet, as you need me. My Sadie has the run of the house and sleeps with me at night. I would take care of your pet, whatever you need for them. I’m available long walks, exercise and playtime. Also included or lots of belly rubs!

“Always a great experience with Mariah!! My dogs love having her take great care of them!!”

About: My entire life I have been raised around large breed dogs, cats, and fish. I am also familiar with reptile, monkey, equestrian, farm animal, and small mammal care. Such as cleaning pens, feedings, cleaning tanks, ear canal cleanings, nail trimming, bathing, and deshedding! The personal pets you see listed on my profile are 100% accurate as well, most people find it shocking but I’ve always been raised around an entire pack of animals and they are all in the best health with the most love we could possibly surround them with! I am completely available to watch your animals! I am hoping to make this a full time job, so please book me for your long trips, and daily walks! I can ensure that I will leave your house cleaner than when I arrived. My parents run 5 AirBnB cabins, and I am the housekeeper for the guests to ensure sanitary sheets, towels, and plates/dishes are provided. As well as a well kept, and clean living environment while they enjoy our stay with us! I was previously a school custodian for South Warren Middle School in Bowling Green, KY, so cleaning was a daily job for me and I thoroughly enjoy it. Now I hope to love on animals and make sure that THEY stay in a sanitary and clean environment.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a child. I have experience with dogs, cats, small animals, and a farm animals. Have spent 17 years working in animal rescue and volunteering in a veterinary setting. In a professional capacity I ran a dog kennel, doggy day care, and grooming salon. I will love and care for your pets like my own! I run Southern Heart Animal Rescue a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to serving needy animals in our community full time. My schedule is completely flexible and can be arranged to suit you and your pet's needs. My home environment is full of love and attention. I do have a fenced yard, the back is 1 acre and double fenced, but the animals are always supervised outside. I have a very active family and am always taking the pups on long walks and hikes. I love taking the dogs to all the parks, exploring, swimming, and making new adventures! We have three people in our house, my partner, my dad, and myself. Between the three of us there is always someone at the house. My dogs are silly, playful, and very used to new dogs coming and going due to my animal rescue. My cats are also incredibly social and used to new animals. Animal rescue does that to the resident animals. 😊

About: I have over 30 years of volunteer work at animal shelters working with at risk dogs. I have 2 high energy, stong willed dogs of my own. I bring a strong, yet calm engagement with every sort of dog personality by carefully observing their behaviors and approaching them in a way that generates comfort while displaying my authority. I am very flexible within reason. I work from home and own my own company. I really prefer an intro meet with you and your baby prior to first engagement if possible. That allows me to understand the dogs and see your manners/handling. It also allows me to build comfort with your dog and make them less stressed when I show up. I live on over 40 acres. I will align to your specific wants and needs regarding care whether that be in your home or at mine. I can crate overnight, walk frequently and for the durations you want. I build rapport through calm, confident engagement with your dog and you. Open communications with a willingness to express issues with kindness is key to a strong and genuine relationship/team effort.

About: I am actually training my own service dog at the moment. He is four months old. I am going to Penn Foster to get my vet tech degree currently. I have loved all animals since I was a little girl, including the ones people are scared of!!! I am a full-time student at Penn Foster, which is an online course for their vet tech program so I can take care of your animals pretty much anytime of the day. I am training a service dog at the moment and he is on a special diet cause he is a giant breed. I also have a cat named Violet, She is a female calico and the sweetest kitty ever, I can clean up after your pets as well as make there food for them as well as take them on walks, I will make sure they have a nice amount of enrichment and if specified I will make sure to include exercise.

“Nikki has been great with my young dog. She has walked/dropped in to check on him during two separate occasions when he was healing from surgery or other procedures from the vet. She is great about sending updates for when she is on the way to my house and on my dog’s mood that day. She is very good at reading him and judging whether he wanted to walk that day or just hang out in the backyard. I recommend Nikki for drop in visits or dog walks.”

About: Thank you for checking out my profile! I have loved dogs since I was a child. I have had my first dog for 5 years now. He has been a challenge but it has made me a better dog mom and handler. I want to share my knowledge of reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs that just need a little extra help with obedience. I strongly recommend the use of dog training tools. I always want to set dogs up for success! I am currently a stay at home dog mom. I can make any day of the week tailored to your dogs needs. Unfortunately since my dog is very reactive he will not join me when walking other dogs. But that’s okay, we want dogs to be set up for success! I have a large yard, unfortunately it is not fenced. However, I would be fully dedicated to helping train your dog for leash work, recall and boundaries. My dog is fully trained to be off leash and would love to get your furry friends to the same point! I have a beginner agility course as well which is very fun! I am also willing to go to local trails and parks weather dependent!

About: I’ve been caretaking for all types of animals for over 15 years. From training puppies to pampering seniors & everything between, I’ve been the go-to for neighbors, friends & family when it comes to their pet care needs. As a farmer, I have a flexible schedule to provide for your needs & have been a farm-sitter for many satisfied folks! I work part-time (have those days blocked off my pet care calendar), so I will be able to give 100% of my time to your pet(s). I am available during the day to walk your pet(s), give them a potty break, play with them, feed them, show them attention & so on. I am also available for doggie daycare in my home where I can provide utmost safety & playtime. My care regimen is flexible & can be catered to individuals’ needs. I have a large yard & many spare 15-20ft leashes to keep your pet safe while providing quality playtime. I also have a dog to help keep your fur baby company while in my care! Your dog can hang out with us in my home, or upon your request I can crate your fur baby & take them out for as many walks/potty/play breaks as you’d like.

“She is most sweet and reliable person ever . My dogs loved her and I did too. Soft, calm, smart, gentle and paying attention to details what is most important thing. Thank you to have a people like her in your platform.”

About: I have been surrounded by pets - dogs, cats, horses, cows, birds, reptiles, and everything in between - my entire life! I joined 4H when I was 6 years old as a “clover bud” and have spent the past 10 years learning to care for and train horses, dogs, and goats. Outside of my own furry family, I have assisted my mother with her horse training and pet sitting business, and also started caring for my own homes & farms as soon as I could drive! I work part-time, I am available all day Mondays through Wednesdays, and until 3pm Thursdays to Sundays. My schedule is pretty flexible, and can be available after work if needed. For the safety of your pets and our own dogs and other small pets, we do not currently offer any at home services. Hoping to in the future!

About: Flexibility with times to get there and stay there with their animals as retired, my love for animals, my ability to administer medications if needed plus my nursing background. I have certifications in animal first aid and CPR. I volunteer at humane society in clinic. Good communication with clients. I cared for adopted and fostered animals in TN for 17 years. I clean up after the dogs and self, bring in mail and/ or take out their trash, can water plants/flowers in or out of home. But mostly loving and playful with animals. Also my ability to sleep anywhere and not mind if their animals sleep with me. I, basically take care of their home and animals giving them a caring house and animal sitter. I am retired and I have several times for visits. I can feed, walk, do play time and bring in mail or take in or out trash. I can stay at client's home while they are away and be there for their animals. I bring my own food, linen and bath/shower néeds, but usually go home to take shower and return. Never leave animals for more than 3 hours. At meet n greet we will go over your directions for feeding, litter box, walking or letting out etc. I can take cats in my home but find they do better at their own homes. Can also take in/out trash cans and bring in mail as needed. Water some plants and flowers. Too. I have found animals do best at their homes and client's have animal and house sitter.

About: I was 7 yrs old when I got my first dog...had her until I was 22yrs old. Been around dogs most of my life....had several and at the present time I currently do have 1 german short haired pointer pup. I have also foster for the humane society. I'm available most anytime.... I do work full-time outside of the home. I enjoy meeting new fur babies and owners. I live in lebanon tn. I would sit in your home. I will follow whatever your schedule is for your fur baby and give them plenty of love. Thanks for looking.

About: I have a passion for pups! I’ve had pets of all kinds for as long as I can remember and I know life gets in the way sometimes. I’ve enjoyed being a sigh of relief for family and friends numerous times that needed someone reliable and trustworthy to look after their fur babies. I love every pet like my own and enjoy meeting new friends along the way! I’m a graduate student working part time. I want to fill the extra time on my hands with something that makes me truly happy and keeps me active! I currently am offering walking or check ins M-F around my class times. If you need a drop in or walk during the week I’d be happy to chat and see what works for us both! Being a dog and cat mom, I know how important it is to keep your babies safe. I put an emphasis on making pets comfortable in their own home and safe outside of it. I take pride in learning and understanding what safety means to my clients and ensuring that I hold myself to their standard for every service.

“I had a work obligation, so I needed help in walking my puppy for a week, including one evening. She showed up on time every day, Saba was well taken care of in my absence. I will definitely be hiring Diane in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14. Between neighbors, family, and friends. I feed, bathe, walk, and play with them as much as I can I currently do not work full time or part time. I stay home with my two year old and enjoy every day of it just need a change. My yard is not fenced but we live on 2.5 acres. I have a friendly dog that could keep your fur baby company or be separated, whatever makes you comfortable.

About: I've been around all kinds of animals since I was born, and have raised and cared for them since I was old enough to help. I have done drop-ins, pet sitting, dog-walking, and even dog massage for friends and family for years. I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own, and even a few chickens, too! Others would argue I love animals more than people (they may be right about that, ha!) I am a retired massage therapist and self-published author with time on my hands (pun absolutely intended). Between writing chapters (or bouts of writer's block) I am open for pet care most of the day until the evening, with some night time hours available upon request :) I am clean, compassionate, and considerate. I leave my clients' homes just as I found them - unless the pet has had an accident in which case I'll clean that up before leaving :) I am happy to love on my clients' pets as if they were my own, and take caring for them very seriously.
