Dog Walking College Grove

About: Hi! I’m a high school teacher who teaches culinary arts. At home, I have a golden retriever, Saffron and a Labradoodle, Leo. I live on 2 1/2 acres, one of which is fenced in and perfect for furry friends to run and play! I am a teacher and gone from 7 am to 3:30 pm, but my parents live next door and watch my animals when I am away. Growing up, my brother had a service dog who was part Great Dane and part Black Lab. He became part of the family! I think that’s what started my love for animals. Since college, I’ve had at least one pet. While in Culinary school, I worked long hours. For Christmas, I got my cat, Basil. She was at the door with a “meow” at the end of long days in the kitchen. When I began my career as a culinary teacher, I bought my first house with a back yard and almost immediately added my girls, Sage and Sketch to the household! I work full time as a high school teacher. but live next door to my parents who watch over my pets. They love them as if they were their own! I have an acre, fenced in back yard. My dogs love the country, running and playing in the back yard! They are house dogs, but love the chance to run as much as possible.

About: My name is Isabella, a stay-at-home mom of three who has always been surrounded by animals. Growing up in Colombia, I began caring for pets at the age of 15, starting with my family, friends, and neighbors. My love for animals led me to work with nonprofit organizations for years. Now that I’m in the USA, I’m excited to bring my experience and passion for animals to you and your pets. I have a dog, a cat, and a ferret at home, so I understand how much pets mean to a family. I’m committed to providing each pet with the best care possible and treating them as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! As a stay-at-home mom, pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine. My availability is completely open and flexible, always depending on your needs! Living on two acres of country land, I provide pets with a spacious and safe environment. I have crates (if needed) and a play pen to ensure their comfort and security. Pets receive regular meals, fresh water, and plenty of playtime in a nurturing and relaxed setting.

About: What sets me apart is my experience, but mostly patience and care. I was a teacher so my energy always stays calm do theirs does. I’m currently working part time so I have time to play and love on your animals. We might even play poker if the mood hits. No pets in my home, sadly.i wish i was able to, but our lifestyle does not allow for it. Too many unnecessary opportunities unfortunately. Sorry

“Cassy is fantastic! She is so sweet and caring with our little pups. She came to walk them but went above and beyond and spent some time playing ball with them too and they were just ecstatic. Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve worked with all breeds of dogs since I was young, between pet sitting, working for a groomer, kennel assistants and working for multiple vet hospitals throughout the years. I can administer medications as needed. I have a wide array of knowledge and skills such as emergency medicine, and working with neurological patients. I currently work full time at an emergency vet hospital. I take care of cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds daily, and have been a veterinary technician for 15 years. I also have two pets of my own that are very spoiled. My pets are my babies, and I treat clients and friends pets just the same. Whatever their routine is, would be followed very closely and be kept a close eye on.

“Great person, my girls loved her. Responsive and resourceful!”

“We recently adopted a dog and were worried he was snot getting enough exercise. Although 3 years old, our Billy still has puppy energy. We wanted someone to walk him while we were both at work therefore, we turned to Rover. We contacted Jenna and did a meet and greet the next day. She came prepared with an iPad taking notes as we went along our routines. She is amazing and remained professional even after a mishmash.”

Cynthia G.

“Responsive and dogs were very happy. Great communication.”

About: I focus on individualized care, not just basic sitting. Whether it’s puppy energy or senior needs, I adapt to each pet and keep owners updated. I also have experience with giving (Dogs) Any medication they may need! As a dental assistant, my schedule is structured and reliable. I dedicate mornings, evenings, or days off to provide attentive, consistent care for pets! :) I treat every pet like family, maintaining their normal routines, providing meals, walks, play, and lots of attention. and if it’s okay with the owner, maybe even take them to get a pup cup!!

About: I have taken care of animals ever since I can remember. I have taken care of my friends animals when they go out of town. I always have enjoyed animals. I have two dogs of my own. I am currently working full time but enjoy spending time with animals. I always make time for animals and make sure they are taken care of and spoiled. I take my dogs on walks daily to make sure they are getting enough exercise and fresh air. I also make sure to play with them when I am ever free. I make sure to bath my fur babies at least once a month. I make my sure my fur babies basic needs are met.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I know how to take care of them and love them properly! I am a teacher on summer break so your fur baby will be given lots of time and attention! I am a teacher so as of May 29th, I will be home most of the summer. My dog is also in the home so your pup will not need to be home alone! I’ll closely follow any directions for care that are left.

About: Real-Life Experience with Dogs, Flexible, Family-Friendly Approach: As a stay-at-home mom with two kids (including a toddler who enjoys having pets around), pet care naturally fits into my daily household routine. This allows for a homelike, attentive environment that can make pets feel safe and relaxed. Also a reliable and consistent routine is something I am attentitive to: my schedule as a parent ensures structured days, meaning pet routines (feeding, walks, playtime) are handled reliably—just like I manage consistent routines for my own family. We can absolutely send you some selfies and updates throughout the day if needed! We are a photo friendly family 📸 I am a stay at home mom with lots of time on my hands. My toddler will keep them busy 24-7 so no need to worry about them not getting energy out! I will be the main caretaker. I have a fenced yard that offers safety for any pets staying here as well as a gate at the bottom of the stairs so they can’t go up the stairs and potentially hurt themselves.

“Maria is so patient with Buster! He’s very scared of noises and hasn’t been around a lot of people and she is bringing him out of his shell more and more! Highly recommend Maria!”

About: Fun fact I used to be afraid of animals until I was about 12. Now I have 4 cats and have owned 6 dogs over the years. I have trained 3 of them to a basic degree and also own a snake. I love animals of all kinds and more often than not they warm up to me instantly! I am interested in summer work during the off season and am available most days almost anytime with some exceptions. I prefer mornings to mid afternoons but am very flexible! Standard house sitting includes overnight care plus daytime absences up to 4–8 hours depending on the pets’ needs. I also offer constant care for houses and pets for a custom rate depending on the individual and pets schedule! Since I have 4 cats and a human I cant board pets at home. But I have no issues staying over a night if needed, and can easily House-sit, Dog-sit, and Cat-sit in the greater Franklin area! I can feed, play, walk, provide potty breaks, and even teach dogs a trick or two.
