Dog Walking Dowelltown

About: Growing up with pitbulls and large dogs. I know I'm more than capable of taking care and loving your dog as my own. With having a pitbull boxed mix that never stops I know I can exercise your pup. I know I can exercise and care for your dog as my own. I'm a stay at home mom with 2 little girls. My husband just got out of the military so it's time for me to shine and and do what I love and that's taking care of your pup. With notice I can be available at the times you need. I feed and give my dog food. I love throwing a ball with my dog he doesn't bring it back tho. My dog gets treats and alots of love and affection. My cats love pets and cuddles and I'm all for it.

About: My love for dogs started at a young age, reading about different dog breeds and being fascinated by their unique sizes, personalities, abilities, and the purposes they were originally bred for. I genuinely enjoy working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Through my own training experience with my pal, I've learned to appreciate patience, consistency, discipline, and most importantly, creating a positive experience for our four-legged companions! One of my proudest achievements before entering military service was training my own dog to successfully pass the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test with flying colors! It made me realize just how far I'd come in training my own dog and the potential I had to further develop my dog training skills. Looking toward the future, I aspire to continue developing my dog training skills, with the long-term goal of working with dogs that support hospitals, my fellow veterans, law enforcement, and wounded warriors. I am a full-time online student but I do have lots of time to train my own dogs and increase my proficiency on dog training and walking I am always diligent to make sure my dogs always have appropriate outside time. They are always outside and always play fetch, nose training exercises, and repetitive basic obedience training. I will make sure your dog's always taken care of with professionalism and care!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11yo. I’ve cared for Australian Shepherds, Poodles, Rat Terriers, Cairn Terriers, Papillions, Irish Wolfhounds, Pit Bulls, Bichon Frisés, and more. I have four dogs now: German Shepherd Mix, German Shorthaired Pointer, and two Pembroke Corgis. I’m familiar with small and large dogs. I’m non-judgmental and understanding if your baby has separation-anxiety. I work 8AM to 4PM Monday through Thursday, but am free to watch your babies in the evening and Friday through Sunday. I provide drop-in visits and house-sitting. I have a fenced-in yard, two crates and four dogs all ready to be their new best friend! I do prefer to watch them in your home, not mine as I have one dog that isn’t the most friendly.

About: My name is Hannah, but I go by Mikki. I have had pets since I was 15 years old and they have ranged from cats, dogs, and the exotic! I have a serious love for all the different types of fur-babies and am a proud pet parent myself! I’m the purrfect fit if you love someone enthusiastic about animals and their care, someone who is strict with rules and restrictions, and someone who is flexible! I have worked in a pet boarding type facility in the past and carry much experience wrangling dogs of all sizes and in all group sizes, with all different types of personalities. I also have a dog and cat myself. My daily schedule involves me waking up and letting my dog out while preparing their breakfast. After they eat, we get some snuggles in until it’s time to go potty. Later on, it time for dinner and then a nightly walk 30 minutes to an hour after dinner has been served. That ends our adventure for the day! For Drop-Ins: I stop by for feedings and enrichment for between 30 minutes to an hour. I make sure they care squared away and everything is locked up before I leave. For Walks: It’s simple … we just go for walks. 30 minutes to an hour or whatever set path and time per appointment. For House-Sitting: I set a time for me to come over. I stay for the duration of the appointment set and bring my own necessities so that I don’t have to leave the premises. I stay within your home, where your babies are most comfortable, and provide them with company and a set schedule. Before I confirm a booking, I will ALWAYS set up a meet-and-greet. I need to be able to sit down with the fur-babies and parents so we can get a good view of the vibes and to see if I would be a good fit. These meet-and-greets are NOT OPTIONAL and refusal will result in a CANCELED BOOKING! Sitting should be a comfortable experience for pet, pet parent, and sitter. Checking the vibes and getting details is critical for success.

About: I am such an animal lover, and I like to think they love me too;) I have owned dogs my whole life and recently adopted a cat, Willow! I’m excited to meet and care for your pets:) I am a student at Middle Tennessee State University with classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This means I am available often for your pets! I am very attentive of my animals (currently one dog and one cat). I feed them on a consistent schedule and let the dog out every two-three hours. I also provide them with lots of attention, whether they would prefer to be in my skin (my dog) or relax in the same area without touch (my cat). I can be very adaptive to any animals’ needs!

“Super good with anxious pups!! Soph is definitely a very kind and caring soul.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, when we adopted a stray that was pregnant. Throughout Sweetie’s pregnancy, birthing, and weening, and our raising of her puppy Zorro, my mom taught me all about dogs, since her dad used to breed pugs and cavalier King Charles spaniels. Before Sweetie came to us, I had been wanting another dog, as our previous golden retriever, Jasmine, had been stolen. So, my mom bought me several books on all the different dog breeds, so I could educate myself on what to expect and what I wanted when we got our next dog. I learned so much throughout this time, and have only continued my education and experience with dogs. I love dogs so much that sometimes it feels like my heart is going to explode out of my chest. Every dog I meet, no matter how old, will always be a puppy to me. I sometimes think that the closest we will ever get to experiencing a physical manifestation of the love of God, is the love dogs have for us. I’m self-employed and currently don’t have any pets, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your dog(s) routines! Noting and being aware of any specifications, such as meds, their usual routine/schedule, unique preferences, and any special requests the owner has made. Consistency is so important in maintaining mental health and stability for your pets!
