Dog Walkers in Harrogate, TN

About: I grew up on a farm, which gave me hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from small pets to large breeds. I’m comfortable with all sizes, temperaments, and personalities. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs. I currently have a senior diabetic cat, so I’m comfortable administering injections, monitoring blood sugar, and giving medications. In addition, I help care for a senior three-legged Chihuahua and a Lab mix, so I understand the extra patience and attention that senior and special-needs pets require. As a prospective Physician Assistant, I bring strong attention to detail, responsibility, and a genuine passion for caregiving. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to be reliable and accommodating for your pet’s needs. I treat every pet like my own and can’t wait to meet your furry family member! Pet care is something I prioritize in my daily routine. I’m currently between jobs, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and be available throughout the day. This flexibility means I can provide reliable, consistent care, whether that’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or extra time and attention for pets who need it. I treat every pet in a client’s home the same way I care for my own, with patience, attention, and respect for their routine. I make sure to follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs. I’m also very mindful of keeping your home safe and secure while you’re away, and I’ll always communicate with updates so you have peace of mind.

About: My mom has a pet sitting business and I became a pet sitter and trainer when I was in highschool! After highschool, I became a vet tech working during summer and winter breaks before I got accepted to vet school to become a veterinarian. I’m very comfortable taking your pups on walks but also taking care of your pets needs including medical needs! I’m currently on summer break as I’m a veterinary student so I have plenty of free time! I’m happy to take care of your pups walking needs while you’re at work or to take care of them while you’re out of town! Whatever you need I’m happy to accommodate! I would come to your home so your pets feel most comfortable in their normal environment! Whether they need crating, walks, meds or more, I’m happy to do what’s needed.

About: I have 8 years of experience being a veterinary assistant and 10+ years of caring for dogs/cats of my own. I’m capable and more than happy to accommodate any special needs your pet may require! I have a lot of experience with oral and injectable medications. I’ve cared for pups that have had epilepsy, dietary restrictions, and anxiety or other behavioral concerns. I currently have class sporadically throughout the week but my husband works from home and is happy to fill in any gaps I may be away from the house. We are both happy to devote weekends entirely to your fur baby. My husband and I can be available select weekdays and can be flexible around your schedule with a little heads up! We have a large fenced in yard and two friendly pups of my own to keep your pet company. I’m also happy to work with your pup on training or learning new tricks.

About: I grew up immersed in my passion for animals and their needs. I started pet sitting 13 years ago and never stopped. I went to James Madison University in Virginia and graduated in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a pre-veterinary minor. I was also the president of their pre-veterinary society. While in college in addition to pet sitting, I worked weekends at a local emergency clinic triaging sick patients as they came in. After college, I transitioned to a high-volume non-profit veterinary clinic as a veterinary nurse where I worked for 4 years. My husband's career led me to Harrogate, Tennessee where I hope to establish more amazing clients and patients. I offer basic services such as dog walking and drop-in visits as well as more complex overnight and weekly stays. In addition, if requested, I can supply photos and videos during my time with your pet(s), report cards, and notes on how we spent our time! My services can include the following: Feeding, refreshing water, maintaining your pet's exercise routines, bathroom breaks, cleaning (littler box, pee pads, yards, etc.), enclosure cleaning (crates, tanks, cages, etc.), grooming needs (brushing hair, brushing teeth, trimming nails, EXCLUDES shave jobs), administering medication (liquid, tablets, injections), providing enrichment activities, taking your dog to the dog park or on hikes, transporting your pets (grooming appointments, vet visits, etc.), training basics and so much more. Each patient should and will have a tailored experience unique to his/her needs! I can also provide home services such as watering plants and collecting mail if necessary. I am experienced with everything from puppies/kittens to our more elderly companions as well as our pets with special needs. In addition to dogs and cats, I can also care for large animals from basic husbandry and more. My goal is to maintain a normal routine in your household for your pet while you are away… and maybe spoil them a little too if allowed! I am a current LMU veterinary student and new mom so I currently can only do drop-in visits and no overnights until my little girl gets older. Although I hate saying no, this is what is best for me and my family currently. If you need a petsitter recommendation who can currently do overnights please ask and I am more than willing to find you a reliable sitter! I will update my profile once I can accept overnights again. My current schedule easily allows around 4 drop in visits a day. Typically if a client is leaving town for a day or more I prefer 4 drop in visits a day to ensure your pet the proper care; 1 early morning, 1 lunch, 1 dinner, 1 late night. This can fluctuate if you have a cat, exotic, or more of a low maintenance pet. As an animal caretaker with plenty of experience as a veterinary nurse, the safety of your pet is my top priority. Due to my advanced knowledge, I have increased attention to detail for abnormal appearance and behavior and will act on it in a calm but efficient manner keeping you as the pet parent informed along the way. I do have experience with pets who are escape artists and flight risks as I own one myself. I will ensure safe entering and exiting of doorways, check all perimeters for possible openings/holes, and always check the durability of collars, harnesses, and leashes prior to use. I do provide car seat belts for dogs if transportation is needed for any reason whether it be to a dog park, grooming appointment, vet visit, etc. I have taken classes on proper fear-free handling techniques and I am CPR and first aid certified for your precious furbabies' safety as well!

About: I grew up caring for a wide variety of pets from dogs (small and large) to fish and pigs. I'm prepared to handle anything your pet throws my way. Aside from caring for my own pets, I have consistently pet sat for 4 years. I ensure even the pickiest of pets are happy I am currently in school and need a more flexible schedule. If I can have a flexible schedule and interact with pets I'll be the happiest I've ever been. I'm willing to work with other people's schedules whenever needed and I understand things suddenly happen. When I come into your home your wishes and rules are respected. That is your space and it is especially your pets. I will play and walk your pets, as well as ensure any other needs. Every animal has their own needs and you as the owner know the best way to care for them. If you have something extra I understand and will do my best to see it through.

“Thank you for filling in. My regular will be back next week. You did a great job on short notice. Will keep ypu in mind should I need a walker in the future. Leave key where you picked it up.”

About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals and homes has always been part of my everyday life. I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, so understanding routines, responsibility, and making sure pets feel safe and loved comes naturally to me. In high school, I ran my own small pet care and house-sitting service, which gave me real experience being dependable in someone else’s home and earning their trust. I also have experience with house sitting and cleaning, so I don’t just care for your pets—I help keep your home tidy, respected, and well looked after while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, kittens, and senior pets who need extra patience and care. I can help with basic grooming like brushing and baths, and I always follow routines closely so pets feel as comfortable as possible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and have always made time for. I’m used to being responsible and organized, so I can easily plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, litter box care, check-ins, and any special instructions a pet may need. I’m flexible during the day and able to adjust my routine to match each pet’s needs, whether that means early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care. I also make sure to leave time for quality attention, not just quick tasks, so pets feel comfortable and cared for. Since I also have experience with house sitting and cleaning, I naturally build that into my routine as well—making sure the home is respected and kept tidy while you’re away. Overall, I structure my time in a way that prioritizes reliability, consistency, and making sure every pet feels safe and cared for. I care for pets in a calm, consistent, and attentive way that follows their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress while their owner is away. I make sure feeding schedules are followed exactly, fresh water is always available, and litter boxes or outdoor potty routines are kept clean and consistent. I also take time for interaction based on each pet’s personality—whether that’s playtime, walks, gentle attention, or simply giving them space if they’re more independent. I’m very mindful and respectful in clients’ homes, and I also have experience with house sitting and cleaning, so I keep things tidy and make sure everything is left as I found it or better. I provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel reassured and connected while they’re away. My goal is always the same: keep pets safe, comfortable, and cared for so they feel secure until their owner returns.

About: I’ve never gone a day in my life without a dog, and they’ve always been family — never just animals in the house. That same love and respect is what I bring to every pet I care for. With two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable walking, feeding, playing, and giving oral or topical medications. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality so they feel safe, understood, and truly cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep routines consistent. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions to ensure safety at all times. I take time to make pets feel comfortable and calm in their own environment, keeping things clean and organized before I leave. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and understanding of animals, especially cats, combined with my commitment to providing personalized care. I take the time to learn your pet’s unique routine, preferences, and personality to ensure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. With a deep attention to detail and experience as a cat owner myself, I’m skilled at recognizing subtle cues that may indicate their needs or moods. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while giving you peace of mind. As a full-time student, I’ve mastered the art of balancing responsibilities, and pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize the well-being of animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s feeding, playing, or providing companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine, ensuring they receive attention and care when they need it. Caring for animals isn’t just a task for me—it’s a passion I make time for every day, even amidst my busy academic life. When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home, my priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them. In my home, I ensure the space is clean, secure, and pet-friendly, with plenty of room for play, rest, and exploration. I maintain a structured routine that includes feeding, exercise, playtime, and quiet time to keep pets happy and healthy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect and follow their established routines to provide consistency for their pets. I take care to keep the space clean and secure, ensuring their pet feels at ease while maintaining the familiar surroundings they’re used to. Whether it’s walks, feeding, litter box maintenance, or administering medications, I provide attentive care tailored to their specific needs. In both settings, communication with the pet owner is key—I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give peace of mind and ensure trust.

“Samantha was absolutely wonderful to our little Pomeranians and kitty!! She was on time for all walks and even fed them before walking in AM and PM! She is sooo good with them, they were so happy when my husband and I returned home :) We will definitely be using her again soon!!! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!!!”

About: I had a Great Dane for 8 years. Proficient in giant breeds and senior dogs. Love to walk and hike with dogs. Had cats since I was a child and currently have three at home. Currently volunteering at the Humane Society. I'm available Monday thru Friday to walk dogs and home visits for dogs and cats. My schedule is flexible. I'm available for overnight pet sitting upon request. If overnight pet-sitting I prefer to meet with the pet parents prior to spending the night so that I understand your pet's schedule and needs.

“Allyson was great. She sent loads of pictures of our elderly dog. She obviously had no trouble helping him up and down the ramp, and helping him get up from laying down. He's an old dog (age 17) so needed a little assistance and she was willing and able to do so. She judged what he could handle, as it was warm and he is an old husky, kept in good contact with us during her visits.”
