Dog Walkers in Flag Pond, TN

About: I have been pet sitting for the last 4 years as well as being a nanny for 4 children aged newborn to 5 years old. During my time pet sitting I have worked with single dogs as well as up to 4 dogs in a single household. I love playing with and entertaining the higher-energy extroverted pets and enjoy quiet cuddle-time with the more laid-back, philosophical ones. Your pets safety and overall well-being is an utmost priority and I will care for it as carefully as I do my own pet. In addition to pet sitting, I have learned a lot about interacting with all sorts of personalities in mobile pet grooming business. I have a flexible schedule that allows week-day overnights and multiple daytime check-ins with your pet. For overnight sittings, my flexible schedule allows me to check it in on your pets throughout the day, and no pet will be left unattended for more than 3 or 4 hours. I will communicate proactively and adhere to all the house rules and keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible to reduce your pet's anxiety at your absence. In addition to maintaining their regular routines, I can also brush, bathe, and blow-dry your pet while you are away! I am a considerate house-guest and will wash any dishes or towels/washcloths that I might use as well.

“Madison was great! She arrived right when she said she would, did a great job with communication, and the dogs loved her. We look forward to hiring her again. It is really nice to have a reliable, responsible person to call on when we need someone to walk our furry children. Thanks Madison!”

About: I've always had a deep affection for dogs and their care.Dogs are best companions that I enjoy spending time with and who help me avoid loneliness, so I don't always think of them as animals. I'm now concentrating on my studies and schoolwork for the future, but I'm happy to assist with pet care when I have free time to help out If your dog comes and stays with me, they will have a great time and be well-cared for because I have a lot of space for dogs to run about on. My dog loves being outside and having someone to play with

About: I've worked in two different animal shelters as an animal caretaker. I learned so much from both jobs to help me in my pet sitting journey. I'll love on your babies and walk, feed and play with them. And I don't mind to clean up their messes! I work at a part time job in the mornings, so I'm available late morning to evenings most days, and on Sundays, I'll be available after church. I'm very dependable and trustworthy. You can trust me to take care of your babies and to respect the wishes you have set forth for them. I'll be very respectful of your home while I am in it.

About: I've never not had pets in my life. I've had one dog - a jack russel terrier who lived to be an old man of 16. I used to volunteer at PAWS Animal Shelter as a dog walker, so I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages. I love getting to know a new dog and seeing their distinct personalities shine through. I'm currently working Tues-Sat 3-10pm, so I am available for morning or late night check-ins and Sunday/Monday day long care. I can be pretty flexible, so feel free to reach out and see if we can work something out that works for you. I cannot currently take pets into my home, but I am comfortable following whatever routine your pet is used to. The more details you can leave me, the better. I want my care to be as seamless and stress-free for your pet as possible.

About: Hi there! I'm Stefanie, your dedicated and loving pet sitter. As a stay-at-home mom, I have the privilege of giving pets all the time and attention they need. I absolutely adore animals, both big and small, and I'm here to provide them with an amazing experience while you're away. No more worries about leaving your furry friend in a standard kennel. When your pet stays with me, they'll enjoy the comforts of a home environment without any unnecessary stress. My large fenced yard is perfect for playtime and exploration, allowing your pet to burn off energy and have a blast outdoors. Creating a routine that keeps your pet comfortable is essential to me. I'll make sure they have frequent potty breaks and access to fresh water at all times. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I'll go above and beyond to ensure they receive personalized care and attention. With me as your pet sitter, you can relax knowing that your beloved companion is in safe and loving hands. Whether it's cuddle time, playtime, or a leisurely stroll, I'll be there to provide the best care possible. I will be available to care for your pet 24/7. Depending on your pets needs I will give food, water, and medication per the owners instructions. I provide pet care services either at my home or through drop-in visits, including overnight stays at the pet's own home. I have a 3-year-old child who is very kind and gentle to our animal guests. Before an initial booking, I prefer to do meet and greets to ensure that it is in everyone's best interest. These meet and greets allow us to get acquainted, assess compatibility, and address any specific needs or concerns. Ensuring the well-being and comfort of both the pets and their owners is my top priority

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. I’ve taken care of chickens, goats, pigs, hedgehogs, and turtles. I have taken care of dogs and cats that require medicine and dogs that have food aggression. I currently work part time at Walmart in Unicoi and I am a full time student at ETSU. Doing animal care works extremely well for me because I will be able to do the majority of my school work while I’m with your pet. My Walmart work schedule can get a little tricky sometimes, so please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! Staying at a client’s house works best for me because I live with my grandmother and she has two dogs that are not dog friendly. I always make sure they stick to their feeding schedule (if they have one) and that they take potty breaks as frequently as possible. I keep all doors locked when I am inside and never take my eyes off of your dog when it is outside.

“Becca was prompt and communicative, we were so grateful for the updates and the reliability! We didn’t get to meet Becca in person this time but hope to in the future!”

About: As a passionate pet lover, I can assure you that your pets are in great hands. If your pets appreciate special love and attention then you have reached the right person. I have grown up with pets and have had a pet throughout most of my life, so pet care comes naturally. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs and I love them all. If your pet requires walks and playtime I am more than happy to offer that and more. I have an incredible passion for pets so love and care will be what they will receive. I retired a few months ago, so I am available for pet care 7 days a week for as many daily visits as would be needed. Overnight stays at your home or mine can be an option. Prior to my retirement, I was able to pet sit part-time. Now I am available and excited to be able to help more people with their pet care needs on a full-time basis. In your home, your pet will have the same loving care that you give them. But beware, they may get a little extra spoiled under my care.

About: I’ve been a life-long animal lover and pet caretaker for my own furry family members and others as well. I’ve cared for small cats and dogs up to 100+ pound doggos. If your pet needs to be picked up or carried that’s no issue for me! I own and operate a business that allows me a lot of flexibility and free time so I can care for my pets and yours almost any time. My 3 dogs are my family. We share living spaces, eating spaces and napping spaces! I love sharing car rides with them and taking them on walks with the family.

About: I have cared for my own dogs from the time they were puppies to senior dogs. That means house training, vet visits, proper vaccinations and nutrition. I also work at a professional kennel where I train puppies on basic obedience and care for the adult dogs. I am familiar with the medications for aging pets and the methods available to treat many illnesses. Dogs are treated and cared for just like family members in my home, because they are my family and I understand most people feel the same. I have cared for dogs with terminal illnesses before and given oral medications for many illnesses as well as flea/tick/heartworm preventatives. I am available for dog walks and drop in visits every day through the week for limited hours and anytime on the weekends. I can play games like fetch as well as provide other fun enrichment activities.

About: As a pet parent of both 2 dogs and a cat myself, I understand the level of care and affection your pet(s) deserve. I also understand how hard it can be to leave them behind, and to also need the reassurance that they will not only be kept safe, but also enjoy their time. From growing up with dogs and cats to now having my own, I can assure you that I am capable of proving top quality care and FUN while you are away. I have had neighbors, various family members, and clients rely on me to provide top quality care to their pets while they have been away, from providing medication to exercising and bathing. I’d love to meet and talk through all your expectations + daily life with your pets, so I can best understand how to care for them while in my care. I am currently taking a break from my professional career to pursue something more personally fulfilling- this means I’m pretty available, 24/7 most days of the year. If looking to have your dog stay with me, my husband and I live on a 2acre piece of land with lots of running space for your dog(s). If off-leash play isn’t an option, we have a fenced in dog park near by that we also frequent. For daily walks, we go up and down our gravel mountain road. Lots of fun smells!! My dog is a fantastic playmate, non-aggressive and professionally trained (and neutered!!). If looking for me to do drop-in visits with your dog or cat, I’ll happily abide to their usual schedule at your home. I have experience with training large dogs, and would be happy to help enforce and commands used in your home while I’m with any of your pets. Please let me know ahead of any special requirements for care or any verbal commands used in the home.

“Erika walked my dog, Rico, twice a day for a week while I was out of town. She was really good about letting me know when she walked Rico and sent a photo every day. As most dog lovers, I am always looking for someone who I can trust with Rico and I could tell he was very happy when I returned! We will definitely hire her again!”

About: My name is Chelsea and I am a huge dog lover! I have a spoiled dog of my own who brings so much joy to my life! However, there is always room for more! I love all dogs of all sizes and breeds. I will run with your dog, take them on hikes, or long trails if they tend to have more energy. I will also snuggle and teach new tricks to those how tend to have less energy. I can send picture updates throughout my time with your dog. If there are certain manners or tricks you would like me to work on, I can definitely do that as well! I feel that dogs are such a gift and we are lucky to get to spend time with them!

About: I am a lifetime dog owner, I currently have two dogs. Rusty is a Red heeler that came from a rescue, Gunner is a lab mix that was also a rescue. I have a cat named freya who was rescued from a horrible situation, I have 3 bunnies that are 4 years old. I am in the process of becoming a veterinarian. I was a vet tech for 10 months. My passion is help any animal in need. I have worked with all breeds with different health issues. I’m very patient with skittish, afraid or nervous pets. I have did some dog training on and off over the years. I have walked several dogs in my community. I have also house sat/pet sat while families have went on vacation. I love all animals as if they were my own. I donate every month to local shelters to help any fur baby in need. I would love to give your fur baby all the attention, play time in the world. My pets come first before anything. As my fur babies get fed once I wake up, and again a hour before bed. They get let out about 4-5 times a day. They have plenty of play time throughout the day. I have open availability to take care of your fur babies. I do not have a fenced in yard. I walk my dogs in the yard or at the park. When it’s play time there able to be off the leash and run around the back yard. I have some clients that have fenced in backyards and, some where the dogs need to be walked.

About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, chickens, ducks, mini horses, and loads of other animals so I am experienced in animal care! I currently have dogs and cats! I want to help other animal owners because I know how helpful pet sitting is for me! I am currently unemployed looking for animal care jobs throughout the week and weekend. I am very flexible. I’m working on getting my associates degree and I have classes Tuesday/Thursday. I know how much my pets mean to me and I want to maintain a safe and friendly environment for all the pets I will be caring for. I am a very clear communicator and I work best knowing what each individual pet needs!

About: Please note before considering me: I do not accept any requests for dogs not friendly with other dogs. This is because I have two very friendly/happy pugs and one amazing golden retriever, who will need to participate in any all-day or overnight care I've had dogs my entire life and love all breeds, personalities, shapes, and sizes. I work from home, so they'll be in good hands! Again, your dog will need to be OK around with other dog for any overnight stays. I am flexible with your schedule, detail-oriented, and reliable. You will not be disappointed and your best friend will come home happy. Every day of the week is open! My husband and I work from home, so we are always here and take great care of our animals. We have a secure and fenced in property with tons of land to play and roam around in, including a dog splash pad and endless toys and affections to offer.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, I grew up with dogs, cats, pocket pets, birds, horses, chickens, ducks, goats, pigs. I feel like I’ve had it all, I am also a very seasoned Vet tech. I am expierenced with giving animals medication as well. If I am watching a dog I will be sure to make sure they get enough exercise, and any other pets I will make sure they all get love and cuddles! My own pets are super spoiled, and I would treat your pets just like they were my own. I don’t care about breeds, from working in a vets office I do have experience with animals that can sometimes be moody. I sure hope I get to talk to you soon! I do currently work 4 days a week, so pets that will be staying in my home will be taken care of before and after work by me. My partner is also at the house throughout the day and treats any animal that comes into our home like his own. I will take your pups for walks/hikes, and to the dog park if your pet is dog friendly. I believe allowing them to get their energy out is very important.

“Kelsey was so sweet with our pups and they loved having her visit everyday. We will def use her anytime we ever need another drop-in or if we need an over night boarding. She was very responsive and great with our dogs. Highly recommend!”
