Dog Walking Franklin

About: Families, friends, and neighbors have been trusting me with their pets since I was young. I have proudly developed a reputation for being a dependable and compassionate pet care taker, specifically dogs and cats. I offer Drop-in Visits and Dog Walking as to ensure that your pets can feel comfortable in their own environment. I provide care to dogs and cats of any breed, size, and age. I have experience with puppies and high-energy dogs, senior dogs and cats, and pets with special needs. As a plus, I have experience in light housekeeping, basic brushing and bathing, administering medications to dogs and cats, and performing safe handling and restraining if necessary. I consistently strive on forming positive bonds with you and your pets. My schedule is open and flexible. I can care for your pets pretty much anytime of day. I can drop in on your pets according to.your request and pet's schedule. I try to make your pets feel as comfortable and secure as possible while I am in their environment and before you return to your lovely pets. I pay attention to your pet's body language for signs of anxiety, stress, or fear. I try to ease your pet's discomfort according to their personality, comfort styles, and your suggestions. I carefully place your pet's food in their bowl as to ensure they feel comfortable with me handling their food. I also never hastily take your pets outside. I make sure the area and weather is safe, and your pets feel safe enough to go out. If you have a fence, I always check that the fence is properly locked.

“Megan was extremely kind and attentive to our pups! She braved the freezing cold to ensure they received proper exercise. We are very appreciative!!”

About: I’ve been passionate about animals my entire life and bring a deep understanding of dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments to every pet I care for. I have experience with both puppies and adult dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to a wide range of energy levels, personalities, and behavioral needs including behaviors such as resource guarding. Whether your dog thrives on structure, needs extra patience, or has a more outgoing and playful nature, I take the time to get to know them individually so I can engage with them in the way that suits them best. I understand that every dog and household has its own routines and expectations, and I’m committed to following any specific instructions or precautions to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and also very outgoing, which helps me build trust with dogs while keeping them happy and engaged. I’m also able to administer oral medications if needed and am attentive to any health or behavioral cues. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with care, respect, and genuine love. I’m new to the area and currently planning my wedding, which gives me a very flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. Because I’m not working a traditional 9–5 right now, I’m available during weekdays, evenings, and for overnight stays—making it easy for me to give your pets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of distinct temperaments and understand how important it is to recognize and respect each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’m very mindful of the routines, boundaries, and safety measures that help pets feel secure, and I make it a priority to follow them closely. I treat every home with the same respect and care as I would my own, and I approach each pet as if they were my own as well. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care while maintaining the natural flow of your home and your pet’s routine—ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away and that you feel comfortable as well.

“Courtney has been absolutely amazing with our dog Bia. She has accommodated last minute requests. Her communication is excellent during scheduling requests and walks. Most importantly Bia loves her! Highly recommend.”

About: Being an energetic and patient person, your pets will thrive in my care, getting loved like they are my own. I have many years of experience w/ dogs & cats, a couple reptiles, and an occasional hamster. Not having any pets of my own, and being an empty nester, I have a very flexible schedule as well. I am now an empty nester, with no pets of my own, so my schedule is very flexible. I can happily provide short- or long-term care for your pets. I will ensure that your pet is loved and kept safe from harm. I can also give your pet a bath if needed, take them on walks and/or runs, give medication and lots of snuggles!

“Professional, kind and good communication!”

About: I have had a dog of myself for 10+ years, and he has definitely helped me learn a lot! I’m able to easily form great relationships with any dog I have met (so far), and absolutely adore being around them and caring for them. Thanks to my experience as a dog owner, I know all there is to know of the basics of caring for dogs of all ages. My current job has me working 2-6 Monday through Friday, and 1:15-6 on Wednesdays. Since I don’t work long hours, that leaves me pretty open when it comes to pet care! Since I don’t offer boarding in my own home, I will travel to yours to care for your pet. When housesitting, I tend to hang out in the area where your pet is in the most to keep an eye on them if they need anything, and to keep them company while I’m around (if I can, I also like being on the floor so if they want to come and say hi or get some pets I’m right within their reach)! Also, I may be unfamiliar with the neighborhood, but that won’t discourage me from taking your furry friend on walks if they’re able!

I have experience with old and young dogs, giving medication, and house training! I am out of school, I am in the Army National Guard, and typically always having evenings free! I don’t work until around 10am so I can do potty breaks before then! I prefer to stay overnight at your home so I can take care of you pets best! I am okay with feeds, potty breaks, and cleaning up in any way. I can also do medication if you show me how!

“Our dog, Shep, always looked forward to his walks with Taylor! We loved all the photos and updates she would give us after every walk. We will miss having her in Houston!”

About: I have dog sat for several families for about a year now and it is my favorite thing to do. Dogs truly are a man’s best friend and all pets for that matter. I am currently in nursing school looking for an extra way to make money! I have previously house sat for many dogs of all ages and breeds even puppies and older dogs with disabilities. I have also watched turtles, cats, and fish. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I am currently in nursing school so dog sitting between and after classes is perfect for me! During breaks I dog sit/walk full time as well as babysit. As a dog owner myself, I know how important our fluffy friends are. Safety is a top priority and I will ensure your pet is safe and happy!

About: I have had a passion for animals since I was a child. I had my own rescue for several years, working with animals of all kinds from house pets to livestock. Our fur kids have free run of our home daily. They are bed hogs and love lounging on the furniture. We have dog beds, toys and treats galore. Family & friends have relied on me to feed, bathe, walk and care for their pets while on vacations or even just during work hours. I have experience with most breeds big & small. I do more than just care for your pet, I create a bond and friendship with them so they are always comfortable, loved and happy. I strive to do the best job possible for my clients. You'll receive frequent updates/pics of your beloved fur babies. I work part time, seasonally. I typically have a very flexible schedule. I am available on week days, weekends and some holidays. Hours vary from day to day as needed. I have a fenced in yard and have my own dogs as well who are well loved and spoiled. I offer crates and separate play times & potty breaks for your dog. But my dogs are friendly if yours needs a pal to play with during their stay.

“Winter always loves her walks with Destinee, she is so dedicated, even in these below freezing temps! Much needed exercise for our little Westie!”

“My dog was very happy and relaxed after his walks with Summer! She was great about communicating and providing pictures. I had a very positive experience with her. Thanks for everything! (:”

About: I've lived with dogs and cats, big and small, since I was five years old. I have a passion for animals of all sorts and I previously worked as a kennel tech for a veterinary office and worked as a dog groomer for several years before my son was born. I’m currently a stay at home mom to my children. I especially love dogs and cats of all sizes and I love being able to work from home taking care of them and helping pet parents know their pets are safe and loved when they’re with me. I'm open to caring for animals of other species as well! I’m experienced in taking care of many different types of animals with different levels of care, such as senior pets, medically needy pets, puppies and kittens, aggressive/reactive pets, as well as exotics. I took a 4 year long veterinary assisting course and I received my CVA (certified veterinary assistant) license in July 2016! I’m a stay at home mom to my children, so I work from home and have pretty open availability to help whenever I’m needed, including weekdays! When caring for someone else’s pets, my main goal is to make sure your pet is happy, healthy and loved. I strive to follow the directions given and keep your pet in a routine they are familiar with, so please don’t hesitate to ask for special requests! For grooming: I have been a professional groomer for several years, plus animal experience as noted above! Please let me know what haircut you would like, your pets’ temperament with grooming, any special requests or concerns you may have during the groom, I am happy to accommodate. I am familiar with most breed specific haircuts and I’m well versed in many different breeds, so please feel free to let me know exactly what your desired haircut looks like! I have open availability as I am a stay at home mom! I’m usually available most days of the week, but may need a couple days to plan, so please shoot me a message and I’ll be happy to get something scheduled! I care for pets as the owners intend me to. I strive to provide a safe and loving environment whether your pet is in my home or yours. When your pet is in my care, rest assured that I am doing everything in my power to keep them happy and healthy :) My schedule can be quite flexible, so please reach out to me to see if we can make something work! I have pretty open availability most days. My goal is to take care of your pet in the same manner that you typically would, so that you can leave them in my care knowing they are loved, safe and cared for as you intend.

“AMAZING! Spectacular! There isn’t a word to express how amazing Jason and Tania are! Kona was treated like a king :) Tania sent the best pictures and always let me know how Kona was feeling. She communicated every concern and showed how much she loves what she does. After a few walks she figured out his likes and dislikes and just let my pup do his thing whether that was rolling in the grass and just chilling or watching all the squirrels. Kona also LOVED Tania, you could tell by the pictures. I was always at ease knowing that Kona was being cared for so wonderfully. Not only are the best people ever, they are also extremely flexible and are amazing communicators. When ever I had a last minute walk needed or a change in schedule they were eager to help make that change. They will be Kona's number one choice for walks for life. ❤️”
