Dog Walking Dreahook

“I cannot express how grateful we are to have found Jake! We were unexpectedly put in a very stressful situation when our longtime dog sitter became unavailable one week into our two week trip. We were facing the possibility of having to cancel the remainder of our plans and return home. In over 15 years of having multiple dogs, I have ALWAYS done a meet and greet and spent considerable time walking a new sitter through our home, routines, and VERY specific instructions. We don't have just one or two dogs. We have a six pack, each with very different personalities, routines, and needs! We had six to eight people familiar with our dogs who unfortunately weren't available to step in. Thankfully, my sister had recently met Jake through Rover for her own dogs and had a wonderful interaction. While that gave us some reassurance, Jake had never been to our home or met any of our dogs! This was a big change for me (and the dogs). Jake and I spent nearly an hour on the phone going through everything. He was competent, patient, communicative, supportive, and, most importantly, willing to step into a situation that was far from ordinary. Jake succeeded, our dogs succeeded, and we are very very blessed for this outcome. One more thing worth mentioning. I have always chosen female dog sitters, simply because I assumed that was the most comfortable fit for our household and dogs. Well, Jake has now changed my perspective on that. Thank you, Jake, for turning a potentially disastrous situation into such a positive experience!”

About: My friends and family call me Tom Care-a-lot, Tom the Mom, and The Dog Whisperer. I am often told I am too nice, but sometimes kindness and patience can be what someone needs to be a good caregiver. I have worked at East Memphis Pet Hospital & Resort as a Daycare and Kennel worker, and occasionally perform Vet Tech duties such as administering medication, which has taught me a lot about caring for multiple dogs and adapting to each dogs' individual needs. I have also worked for GoDog West Nashville and Morris Animal Inn. To be responsible for another life sometimes means that you have to be flexible, I understand if something comes up last minute, it happens; I will be as flexible as you and your dogs' needs. Your dog will be in good-hearted, caring hands while you are doing what you need to do. Your dogs and their home will be safe, you can leave it to me. I will respond to booking requests with 12-24 hours if not immediately. If something doesn’t work in my schedule I will let you know ahead of time unless there is an emergency. I work Freelance from home (remote), so my hours are flexible. I have obligations with other people and clients but I will make any booking done through the app, if they are accepted and scheduled. Failure to contact about a booking before service will result in a cancellation and YOU will be charged a cancellation fee and will take all responsibility for your pet(s). I treat them with respect, I will not hit or discipline them physically, if you instruct me to do so I will decline and cancel the stay or appointment. I do not tolerate abuse or neglect. I will clean up if they have an accident and my motto is to “leave the house roughly in the same state you came/found it in”. I will use your amenities like washer/dryer/sink/shower/dishwasher if I am staying multiple days or overnight. I will do my best to clean up after myself but I cannot conform to all expectations of perfection. Make sure there are no illegal drugs or weapons in the residence (weapons must be away and sealed in a secure location, if any are in the residence) failure to comply with this will result in an immediate cancellation and it will be on YOU.

“I booked with Natalie super last minute and she was an absolute life saver!! She walked both of my boys, made sure they were taken care of and spent time with them, we would highly recommend!!”

I am available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine including feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of love and attention. I will be starting nursing school again in September, so my availability may change slightly, but I will always communicate ahead of time and do my best to continue providing reliable, consistent care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I will always treat your pets like they are my own by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud German Shepherd mom, I bring hands-on experience with pets of all kinds, from puppies and seniors to anxious, reactive, and differently-abled dogs. I’ve also cared for cats, birds, bunnies, fish, and geckos, so no pet is too unique! My approach is warm and nurturing by nature, but I adapt to whatever your pet needs. Structured and calm for reactive dogs, playful and patient for puppies, and gentle and attentive for seniors. Every animal deserves to feel safe and loved, and that’s exactly what I deliver. I am currently available during day time, and open to taking on clients in the afternoon if available. Can do overnight sittings Sunday- Wed, and can do multiple visits in the day I am available to take care of pets in your home, whether it’s a walk, sitting or play session. Will adjust dependent on the weather and pet needs

I’m skilled in leash training, commands (sit/lay/come), and much more. As of right now, my schedule is completely open! I am happy to accommodate to early mornings, late nights, and everything in between to fit you and your puppy’s needs! I live in the woods, far from dangerous, busy roads. I have PLENTY of room for running, playing, and walking. I have multiple walking trails behind my house, as well as a pond that my puppies love to play in. I currently have two very friendly dogs at my house, who can be separated need be via a soft gate I have in my home. I have multiple crates available if your puppy needs it.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats and have taken care of and trained them since I was young. From German Shepard’s to small cats and dogs, I’ve lived with them all. I am currently getting my masters degree online so I have ample time to be with your babies wherever whenever! All days and times can be made available for your schedule or routine. I have the ability to crate dogs as well as keep them by my side when walking or caring for them. Whether your cats are dogs are allowed in your couches, beds, or off the furniture, I can adapt to your needs.

About: I’m the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family! I’m a proud mom to a 20-year-old cat and an aunt to many other beloved pets. I love going on long walks, so let me know if your pet would enjoy coming along! I work from home and make my own schedule so I have tons of flexibility. I like to take long walks in the evenings and would love some company! I have a 20 year old kitten named Wilbur who is the sweetest. I understand that pets are more than just pets, they’re part of the family, and deserve to be treated as a family member. I also understand the importance of being reassured your baby is loved and well taken care of in your absence and will follow all provided instructions and guidance.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years through fostering, pet sitting, dog walking, and volunteering with animal shelters. I’ve spent more than 10 years volunteering with shelters and also have experience helping train service animals, which has taught me so much about patience, consistency, animal behavior, and adapting to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies who need extra attention, exercise, and structure to senior pets who prefer a slower pace and a little extra patience and TLC. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship while they’re with me. And because I know how much we all miss our pets when we’re away, you can expect plenty of photo updates so you can see what your best friend is up to! ❤️ I have a full-time job with flexible hours, which allows me to fit pet care into my schedule consistently. I’m most available on evenings and weekends, and I always make sure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and care they need. I live in a house with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable and settle in. I’m very mindful about safety, routines, feeding instructions, and each pet’s individual needs. I also have a friendly 6-year-old cat who is comfortable around other animals. I’m happy to use a crate if that is part of your dog’s normal routine, and I always do my best to keep pets feeling safe, relaxed, and at home.
