Dog Walking Handy Corner

“Meredith has been walking my big dog for about a month now. He loves her and gets really excited when I tell him she’s coming. She came for a visit to get to know him/me before she started. I am very pleased to have found her.”

About: I was raised caring for all types of animals, but I have a particular love for dogs and cats! Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets for over 10 years of my life. My experience includes feeding, administering medications, walking, playtime, and overnight care. As an adult, I've cared for my own dogs for the past 5+ years and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone dependable who will love and care them as much as you do! My schedule is very flexible this season, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I'm available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks during both weekdays and weekends. I am happy to adapt to each pet's usual routine and needs! My husband and I have a large fence yard and a home with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable. We also have a friendly male collie/retriever mix who enjoys playing, but he can be easily separated if your dog prefers their own space. I'm comfortable using crates or separate rooms as needed, and I'm happy to arrange a meet-and-greet with my dog to help ensure everyone feels safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their normal environment and routines consistent to reduce stress. I'm respectful of your home and able to follow detailed instructions. I'm also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel connected while away. Whether in my home or yours, my goal is to provide a clean and loving environment that feels as close to home as possible for every pet in my care.

“Punctual and reliable. Nadia was able to help us out last minute, so grateful for her!”

Why I love dog sitting I have always loved dogs! I grew up with a dog in my home, a beautiful English springer spaniel who was definitely a member of our family, going everywhere with us! When she passed away my senior year in high school, I begged my mom to get another one! She refused and I had to wait until I got my own place. I got my own dog the same day I moved out! :-)

About: As a dog and cat mom I understand the importance of finding a good trustworthy person to care for your pets! I have 6 years of experience caring for pets, and taking care of animals is something I truly enjoy. I treat every pet like family and want to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, giving cuddles, or sticking to their daily routines, I’m happy to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I will always do my best to make them feel at home. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies!

About: One of the most important things I’ve learned in my career as a K9 Handler is that every dog is an individual. I have extensive experience adapting my handling style to meet a dog exactly where they are: Whether your dog is a high-octane athlete or a mellow companion, I tailor my energy to theirs. My goal is to ensure they return to you happy, and—most importantly—safe. My routine is built around structure, reliability, and an active lifestyle that perfectly complements high quality pet care.This means your dog gets a consistent schedule for feedings, walks, and potty breaks, which is essential for their comfort and anxiety reduction Because of my background as a K9 Handler, I don't "turn off" my awareness of dog behavior. Every walk or play session in my weekly routine is an opportunity for subtle reinforcement of good manners and engagement. I stood watch for our nation. Now, I’m standing watch for your four-legged family members. You can trust that the same integrity, attention to detail, and 'mission-first' mindset I gave to the Corps is exactly what I will provide for your dog."

About: I am a pet person! I’ve had dogs since I was a child and have cared for my own dogs and cats throughout my adult life. Animals have always been part of my family, and I truly love caring for fur babies of all ages and personalities. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, affection, attention, cuddles, and lots of love. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m known in my community for taking care of friends’ pets when they’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, supervision, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood and love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. My home is very pet-friendly, I have a large, fenced in backyard, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my daily life. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I have a secure fenced-in backyard with plenty of green space for dogs to safely play, explore, and get exercise. Pets will receive lots of attention, supervision, affection, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to follow each pet owner’s routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special preferences to help pets feel comfortable and secure. If needed, I can also crate pets according to the owner’s instructions and comfort level.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and many different animals since I was a child! I had many pets ranging from birds, frogs, iguanas, hermit crabs, ferrets, cats, and dogs. I have always been an animal lover! I unfortunately do not get to have a pet of my own due to my husband being in the Air Force. Which means we move around a lot. This has been really hard for me considering the fact that my whole life I’ve been acclimated to caring for and loving pets. Being able to care for your pet while we are stationed here in the Memphis area would fulfill my dreams of being able to take care of animals. I’m currently a stay at home mom and disabled veteran. As long as my kids are at school (7 AM-2 PM) I am 100% available! Outside of those hours I could pet sit for you at my home! I can accommodate depending on your preferences for your fur baby and depending if they are potty trained. I have a 2800 sq ft home. And a huge back yard for your fur baby to play in.

About: Hello, I’m Emie and I have been around cats and dogs all my life you can say i’m a cat & dog lover!! I started to house/animal sit 15 years ago! I have watched animals from 6 months - 15 years old. I’m qualified with giving medication, being patient, loving, and caring for animals! Currently working in the office but very flexible with checking in on your animal/home during lunch time and after work hours of course! Taking animals on walks, checking the mail, spoiling your furry friends or whatever you may need! In my current situation I am not able to have pets stay over, but I have spent nights and days at other people’s home with their pets or just house sitting.

“Soooo glad I booked with Fran! Her communication is superb! Bailey lovessss her and fell in love with her the first day they met! He’s very comfortable with Fran and she’s so well and patient with him! Me and my mom are so grateful for Fran at this time!”

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life- dogs, cats, turtles, ferrets, horses, etc. All of my kids love animals so this seems like a great fit to help and make some extra travel money :) I work from home and kids are in school full time so I am flexible during the days alone and after school/weekend the kids love to help. My pets always have the best care and stay up to date with health, and are always very social. Must be okay with kids around who know how to be gentle and enjoy animals.

About: I love all different sizes of dogs and dogs of all ages! I have experience giving dogs shots and various medications. I run half marathons so if your dog has a lot of energy then he or she will be a great match for me. I am currently staying with family who have two great dogs, but I unfortunately don’t have my own yet. So I want to love on all of the dogs that I possibly can. I grew up on a ranch with all kinds of animals, so I am comfortable with them all. My husband and I work on different days and hours so we team up to care best for any dogs. I have most weekends off, but work one weekend a month. I love caring for all pets and always make sure they get plenty of exercise. We have a back yard, but it’s not completely fenced in, but still a great area to play! We love going to the dog park as well to burn some energy!

“Bailey is fantastic! My pup loves having her daily mid-day walks. Definitely recommend Bailey for your pet needs!”

I also try to bring out the best in here through training her new things everyday and just seeing her happy cause it makes me happy. In your home I plan to do the same I have a lot of energy as the young man I am and love new opportunities to do something great!

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child. Throughout my life, I have experience with taking care of cats & dogs of all ages. I am highly experienced with simple care of animals, and more detailed care like administering medications, grooming, exercising. Every animal has a different personality, and requires a special kind of attention. I have experience with volunteering with animal shelters as well. I am currently full-time with pet care with an extremely flexible schedule. I am willing to overnight pet sit, check in on your pets throughout the day, and anything/everything in between! I have a lot of experience with animals of various backgrounds (abused shelter dogs, strays, feral cats, and domesticated animals). I am very comfortable with all types of pet care. I am able to feed, bathe, love, exercise, and crate your animal(s). Amongst other pet care. Please feel free to ask me any specific questions that would make you more comfortable, that is what I am here for!

About: Growing up in Arkansas, it gave me that country life! I’ve had ducks, a goat, a rabbit, horses, cats, ponies, dogs, and chickens as my responsibilities to take care of. It was hard work, although I didn’t see it that way because I enjoy spending time with animals. This passion for animals has encouraged me to join 4-H( Marion/West Memphis Arkansas area), actively volunteer at animal shelters, join the Humane Society of Tennessee, and currently am working on my Vet Tech certifications. I’m here to show your pets it’s okay, their owner is leaving for the moment because we will have fun and I can give them the same attention and care that their awesome owners give them. I also have 3 years of experience dealing with domestic and farm animals! I have a very fexible schedule and I’m home almost all the time. I am committed to giving your pet an excellence experience with tons of attention. So if you need a pet sitter, I’m your girl! I’m also taking grooming and dog training courses, so I can get my certification. Currently, I don’t feel comfortable cutting or trimming pets yet because I’m still in training, although I do offer through Rover baths and brushing of teeth. 901 279 6895 I currently work at Shelby Center Hospital for Animals, although I am very flexible and accommodating! You tell me what you need, and I will definitely make sure I’m there for your pet! I care for your pet in my home by taking them out 2-3 times daily or as needed per the owner. I can provide bowls, blankets, pee pads, and a kennel for your pets if needed. I have a lot of toys to keep your pet engaged and I don’t have a pet so i have plenty of love to spread! We go on walks or the dog park on good sunny days. I send pics and sometimes videos during there stay. I care for pets in client’a home by abiding by the rules or task the client instructs me to do for there pet during the stay. I play with the pet while I’m there multiple times during the day and I make sure i leave the place how i came in or better. I usually clean before I leave and make sure everything is done as instructed by my clients!

About: We are a married couple in our 40s interested in house/pet-sitting together. We have pet-sat for a few NC and TN families for the past several years, and both of us had pet-sat before we met as well. Zachary works from home and so will be around the house much of the day if dogs need a mid-day walk or meal. Denny wakes up early and can feed and walk dogs in the early morning. Between us, we have experience with cats, dogs, fish, birds, rodents, rabbits, livestock, reptiles, and amphibians. We are willing to work with other animals as well. We prefer to sleep at the pet-owner's home when needed, as this means that we’re around and available for the pets at various times throughout the day. Denny also does drop-in care and dog-walking. Zachary has experience training dogs and volunteering with cats as well. Looking forward to meeting you! Zachary has a flexible work schedule and works from home. Denny is available to care for pets in the mornings, sometimes late afternoons, evenings, and weekends. We both enjoy walking and hiking and would love to take your dogs for walks. We don’t bring pets into our home but prefer overnight care in the pets’ home and are also open to drop-in care and walks. We are both very gentle with dogs and cats and enjoy lots of cuddles with pets, and we also make sure to take them for walks if desired.
