Dog Walking in 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.

“Odin had a great time!”

“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 have always had a soft spot for animals of any kind and have been consistently watching and taking care of the pets of friends, family, and neighbors since I was 10 years old. I have special experience in the care of senior and disabled animals. I’m currently working part time, so for daytime care I will be available on week days from 2:30 pm - 9 pm. On weekends I will be available all day. I have a spacious yard and house that your pets will definitely feel comfortable in. I have one friendly dog and three cats who will keep your fur baby company. If your pet doesn’t do well with others, then I can keep my animals separate from yours with no hassle.

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!

“I would highly recommend Ryan. He’s a great communicator and very dependable. Blue liked him right away and was a very happy boy after their walk!”

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 taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. I have more experience with dogs but I love cats too. I have pet sitted for family and friends and consider pets to be part of the family. I will treat yours as my own. I work full time and I am currently a student as well. I am available on the weekends any time and weekday afternoons after 5pm. I have a dauchsund mix who is currently the only child. She attends daycare and although she is shy she gets along great with other dogs. We just bought our first home and do not have a fenced in yard yet. I do not feel comfortable having any pets over for pet sitting until I have a fully fenced in yard but I am happy to house sit or walk your fur baby whenever you need me.

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’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.

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 primarily cared for cats, but I love being active with my friends’ dogs. I’m th one who reaches out to friends to be like hey can I take you dog on a hike. I know weird request, but I’m not in place to take on a dog of my own. I’m available seven days a week both before and after my regular day job. Typically, I would only be available twice per day, but could do three times per day on the weekends. I’m only available to care for your fur babies in your homes since I have 2 cats of my own and live in an apartment.

About: I have two dogs of my own, and have been a volunteer and dog foster-parent with the Humane Educational Society since June of 2022. I have worked with my own dogs, friends' and family members' dogs, and hundreds of dogs at the shelter. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages, and I am a respectful, careful, and gentle handler. I absolutely love spending time with all my canine friends! I am a teacher, so during the academic year I am only available on weekends. However, during the summer months and other school vacations, I am available nearly every day, and my schedule is very flexible! I am happy to follow whatever rules, training and feeding protocols, and walking requests you have in place with your dog(s). I would also be delighted to work with dogs who need practice with loose-leash walking, confidence-building, or other training needs during my visits. I am clean and respectful of your space, and will bring treats and toys to keep your pup happy and entertained.

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!

“JaNiya was amazing with my dog, Goose! I can always tell if he’s been well taken care of by how calm he is when I return from work. She even gave some love to my cat, too!”

About: I have worked with pets of all sorts and sizes in all environments. I specialize in dog walks and drop ins. And even the shyest cats usually warm up to me fast! I am experienced with exotic pets too. I work with animals full time and am available when not scheduled with another client. Please, let me know how I can work with you. I prefer to care for animals in their own homes. I have 4 animals in a small home, but can provide care in my home depending on the situation and the pet. However, whether in my home or your home I will treat your pet like my own and can exercise them, socialize them, or lounge around with them.

“Kelly is great! I had never used a dog walker before, but we live in an apartment now and my roommate can't handle my dog and the stairs. While I was out of town, Kelly came by each day and sent me detailed little reports with pictures. I really appreciated how communicative she was; it helped relieve my anxiety about my dog while I was on vacation. I will definitely use her in the future!”

About: I have 16 years of experience caring for pets, whether it be my own personal pets, pet sitting for others pets and working in vet clinics- Most recently in an Er vet clinic! Before I became a stay at home mom I managed the front desk of an ER vet and helping triage serious to non serious visits. I also have roughly about 1 year of vet tech experience as well! I am currently a stay at home mom so I am able to help care for your furry family members any time of the day! At this time, home visits are what I offer due to having an infant! I will be there to feed, walk, play and care for your fur baby and give companionship and a sense of comfort while you are away in your pets safe space!
