Dog Walking East Brainerd

About: I have had several pets with health problems, mainly seniors. I've given insulin injections well as oral meds. I am a retired Respiratory Therapist and recognize health concerns. I have always walked my dogs with harnesses/ leashes of all types. Plenty of experience with litter boxes too. My schedule is wide open and very flexible to fit the client's needs. I like to exercise, attend church, enjoy family time . I am available at all hours. I will do whatever the client wants. Some people leave their babies out, but some prefer for them to be crated. My dog stays out in our house until bedtime then goes to her room.

“Amber was so helpful to step in when our other walker canceled at the last minute. She was professional, punctual, and our girl loved her. We will definitely be using her again.”

About: I’ve been a pet owner for about 7 years and have a lot of experience working with cats and dogs. I have mostly have experience with cat sitting, but have some experience with small to medium size dogs. I am comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, walking or outside time for dogs, and spending quality time with each animal I sit for. I am currently only working part time so I have flexibility to spend more time with your pets! While I am not able to stay overnight, I can make frequent visits if needed and will prioritize the time schedule set for your pets to keep them on their routine! I want to make your pets as comfortable as possible while you are away and truly believe that keeping pets in their home environment helps them adapt to temporary changes. I do my best to gain trust with new animals through slow and gentle movements and tone of voice, and I am patient in letting your pets warm up to me.

About: I have almost twenty years of experience in veterinary care, Animal welfare, and petsitting. Comfortable watching dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals. Able to give meds of all kinds, including subQ fluids and insulin. I have a very flexible schedule with opposite days off from my spouse, who also has extensive animal care experience. I also have open areas in my home where pets can have their own space away from my animals if needed. Live in a quiet neighborhood where we can take pups out.on long walks. House is quiet and easy going. Current animals are used to all types of new friends.

“Patricia is wonderful. She is flexible with scheduling, fast work her responses and gives good updates on my pup. She's is great with large dogs and wasn't deterred by my greyhound’s squirrel drive.”

About: I have grown up with pets all my life and know first hand how pets are a part of the family. As a kid, we had 3 cats and 3 dogs, so I was always helping whether it was giving baths, feeding, or letting them out. I have started dog sitting professionally the past two years for work friends and other connections and loved it! I work full time with a very flexible schedule! I can do drop ins during midday most days. I do have my own dog as well so home stays I'll need to be able to go back and forth! Previously, I’ve been asked to walk, feed, and take pets out! I love taking care of them, so I don’t mind doing the daily things a pet needs to be happy!

About: I grew up with dogs, but always did the animal care for neighbors. I have given basic care to livestock (horses, cows etc.), birds, cats, and various other animals. During the summer months I'm working for fish and wildlife. Now that the season is over I am looking to make your life easier by giving the best care to your pet. Whether your leaving for work, pleasure, or family. You deserve a peace of mind that your pet will be loved and cared for. My policy is I must meet you and your pet before providing services. Everyone needs to be comfortable. Please let me know anything about the pet such as places they don't like to be pet. My cat has a routine and that's how I like to keep it. I prefer to go to clients home so their pet is more comfortable. Willing to house a small dog. I do live on the 3rd floor could be hard for an senior dog

About: I’ve spent much of my life caring for animals. I’ve recently left a 20+ year corporate career and I’m taking a new direction in life. Animals were my first love and I’m returning to my roots. I’ve had dogs big and small from Huskies and Labs to most recently my beloved miniature Schnauzers (I miss you boys!). I’ve had cats from cuddly Tabbies to a very picky Persian (so much hair!) to a highly mischievous Siamese (I still tell stories about that cat!). I've hand-raised cockatiels, cared for big parrots (Macaws and Cockatoos), kept a variety of reptiles (iguanas, boas, pythons and smaller snakes). I previously worked at the TN aquarium and worked at marine aquaculture facility raising fish and corals. I’ve cared for pets with a wide range of ages and temperaments, and I’m experienced in handling special diets and administering medication when needed. I have extensive experience with senior pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own and I would love the opportunity to care for yours. I have a flexible schedule and I can accommodate most any scheduling needs. Let me know your what your pet needs and we’ll make it work! I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible, whether in my home or yours. That includes sticking to their usual feeding schedule, walk or playtime, and bedtime rituals to help them feel safe and relaxed. I’m experienced with specialized feeding routines, administering medications, and supporting pets with specific care needs. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can stay connected while you’re away.

“Vanessa was great! We booked her for a last minute dog walk and she was super fast to respond and very accommodating to our fairly high-maintenance requests. We will definitely use her again!”

About: I've been around animals my whole life. I have one dog of my own and two cats. I have a 3 year old Siberian Husky. So I understand when it comes to having patience. I've rescued two cats. love my fur babies like they are my children, they are very spoiled. I'm also a Vet Assistant at Riverview Animal Hospital. I will be going to school in the spring to become a Veterinary Technician. I hope to one day open up my own rescue. Besides walking, I can give daily medications as well. I've always connected with animals and I love to get to know them and their personality. Working with animals is my passion. So I would love to walk and care for your pets!

About: For as long as I can remember, my home has always been filled with dogs, cats, and pets of all varieties. I’ve raised puppies and kittens from birth for new homes and have cared for my friends’ pets many, many times. My wife Abby and I have 2 rescue cats, Viggo and Sable, and the friendliest and most playful Aussiedoodle you’ll ever meet named Penny. Penny loves to meet and play with other dogs, she’s incredibly gentle any not at all overbearing, intimidating, and knows when to slow down or ease off of other dogs who might not be in a social mood. Our cats do their own thing, but still make time for scritches. Our world is a better place for having cats and dogs in it, and I know it’s not easy to say goodbye (even briefly) to a beloved pet. My goal is to make your pets as happy and loved as I possibly can in your absence, as I would want my own furry family members to be when I’m gone. Whether it’s a short walk or a full fun day out and about, you can rest assured your own furry family will be in great hands with Sam the Sitter! I recently left a job I was unhappy with, which has opened me up to care for your pets anytime, anywhere. Driving is not an issue, as I live centrally to most residential areas in Chattanooga. Pet comfort and safety is a big priority for my pets, so I strive to achieve the same level of comfort and safety for your pets too. Whether you wish to keep your loved ones in the comfort and safety of your own home or want your pets to go out and explore, I have a very reliable vehicle with dog safety harnesses and snacks and water available at all times, especially with the rising temperatures. I come prepared with anything your pet might need. One of the biggest things I learned from our own trainer (who is also a veterinarian and a friend) is the importance of a good diet. I try to feed our (and your) pets the most nutritional and organic food available to support a long and healthy life. I have a fully privacy fenced in backyard that is cleared of my dog’s “business” almost daily, so I am always open and happy to host pets in our home. For cats, we have numerous toys and comfy places to nap. You can guarantee your pet will be very well taken care of with me!

I have been is charge of reptiles, fish chickens, guinea pigs, horses, hermit crabs, cats and dogs. I love all kinds animals and love adding to pet sitting photo box on my phone. I take pictures of all the pets that I watch. I was a kennel technician for a year and four months at a veterinarian office. I have watched multiple dogs at one time. The most I have watched is three. However when I was a kennel tech I was in charge of a lot. I have my own transportation and loving animals is one of my passions in life and always will be. I do have a full time job however, most of my clients have no problem with me staying at their house while pet sitting. However, it's all up to whatever you want to do. If you prefer I can also drop in and take care of them as well. I have no trouble doing both jobs. Your pup will get plenty of time with me still and it will be properly taken care of. I have been house/pet sitting for some time now and have had no problems at it. I make sure that I have plenty of time to take care of everything that needs to be done. In your house I will treat them like my own. Every pet that I watch becomes a part of my own in a way. I will love on them, take them for walks, or to the park if that is what your wanting. If you have a less active pup no worries we will have a chill time just taking it easy.

“Marisa is very attentive when walking my dog. The dog can be energetic and dominating, sometimes even excited it stubborn. She walks my dog as though it was her own. Marisa has the command presence to handle a large breed dog at it's best or worst. If you're looking for a patient and trustworthy person to help while you're out, then you're looking for Marisa.”
