Dog Walkers in Holston Valley, TN

“Onyx's time with Ken was an absolutely amazing experience. She loved him so much. His help and attention to her, made our vacation much easier. Ken was also so kind to offer advice to our mom who was home with Onyx. We will definitely be referring Rover and Ken to others.”

“Tara is amazing!!! Took excellent care of our big dog while we were on a week long trip with multiple walks throughout the day. She is great with animals and really cares! So glad we found her.”

About: I connect with animals of all kinds! I've had several dogs and cats, rabbits, pigs, turkeys, snakes, lizards, and a chinchilla. I currently have goats, chickens, 5 cats and a dog. I care for animals the way I care for children, they bring me such joy! I have also captured strays to get them to a rescue, and helped wild animals with injuries. I am very attentive to the animals moods and behaviors, while also going above and beyond to make sure they feel safe. I have dealt with sick animals, given medications, assisted in giving injections and followed food regimens. I have been bitten by several different kinds of animals, so I know how to deal with being bitten. I have plenty of energy to walk and play, and my own reliable transportation. I've done extensive research on behaviors and relationships of pets and I'm always learning. I would be happy to write daily reports and/or take pictures, whatever makes you feel at ease. Outside of caring for my own animals, I'm not a very busy individual, so if you need a last minute service, I will likely be available. I can transport animals in my car and also have a female German Shepherd who is fixed and is sweet as can be, if your pup would like a play mate! I take care of my animals daily, but have plenty of free time for yours! Morning, afternoon or evening, I'm available for your pet care needs. My pets are well taken care of and honestly a little spoiled 🤭. We have different foods for different cat needs, we don't use cheap food brands in our household. Our dog is walked at least 5 times a week, sometimes more. Each animals gets individual attention and plenty of pets. I make my own treats to give my dog her medicine and also try other pet recipes from time to time. All animals are vaccinated, de-wormed, and get vet check-ins annually.

About: I have never been without a pet or multiple pets, mostly cats and dogs. I believe Pets are family members. I have cared for pets ages birth to 17 years old since childhood. I have two dogs of my own and one granddog I work from my phone/computer full-time scheduling clients. I am able to care for Pets in my home or yours around the clock. I also have the freedom to come and go as needed for pet walking and/or potty breaks. I live in a safe neighborhood with a decent sized yard. I never let Pets go out without being on a leash or tie out. I have a small, older Westie and a 2 year old mini golden doodle that love other animals.

About: This is from a few years ago now, but everything still applies! I’ve been doing Rover for about 6 years, and watching people’s pets for over 10 years now. Hey there! My name is Abby, I am 30-years young and I absolutely adore all animals!!! My father is a self- proclaimed dog whisperer that is amazing with pets, and he taught me how to safely and successfully interact with dogs at a young age. Since I was a wee one, I have always had a natural ability with pets; they generally tend to be fond of me, dogs especially. I have had ample practice and training, with a wide variety of dogs over that past few years. I have been watching pets for eight years now! From the ages 22 -26, I worked at a school for at-risk girls. There all the faculty members seemed to have pets, and take all these trips! No one there had a reliable pet-sitter, for when they were out of town, so those families were forced to board their pets. So I’m talking to the school nurse one day, she’s newly single & has finished plans to start traveling the world. But she owns Harley, the yellow lab, who has recently aged immensely and is no longer well when boarded anymore. And There I was waiting & beyond ready to start my side-business as a dog-sitter. Harley, became my first client and more so my buddy, I watched him for 1 to 2 week periods, frequently, over the next 3 years. Then, the other staff members began to use my services, also. I had around 5-6 dogs that I would take care of on a regular basis. Whether that meant staying with them at their house, walking them multiple times a day, playing, and anything else that needed to be done! I have been doing Rover for almost two years, now, and am extremely confident in my skills! I look forward to any and all new clients. Feel free to ask me any questions and concerns any time! Abby Morgan Pet care fits so well into my routine, since this is my main source of income right now! I can easily spend as much time needed and wanted with your pet! I strive to care for each pet as if they were my own, so I enjoy fitting this into my routine. Feel free to ask me any questions! I treat pets like they are all my children! Every pet I watch earns a special place in my heart! I try to keep pets on their schedules- whatever they must be! Right now, I am not allowed to house pets, unfortunately, so I have to stay over at your home. I have been doing that for years, and honestly, it makes the job so much easier for all parties involved, because the pets are so much more comfortable in their own turf! I currently work PRN as a CNA, which means I pick up shifts when I want to work. This allows me to be able to work around that schedule easily. I care for pets as if they were my own fur baby. I follow common safety practices while caring for animals- keeping them on leash, avoiding other pets during walks, etc. I am extremely vigilant of my surroundings at all times and try to prevent anything bad from happening by using my intuition and common sense.

About: I am currently a part time Massage Therapist, but during school, my full time job was at a dog daycare in Scottsdale, so I got to work with dogs on a regular basis! Nowadays, I take my little sidekick Beetlejuice with me almost everywhere. I firmly believe that our pets always improve our quality of life. They've most definitely always improved mine. After growing up on a farm full of animals, homes without furry companions seem to be lacking something to me. I think everyone should be able to have pet-friend, (or a few of them!) and shouldn't need to worry about needing a little extra help with giving them the best care possible. I have lots of availability to help out with walks, feeding, or just a hearty belly rub, if that's what you need! I am also comfortable with medically fragile pets, as I have personal experience with them. My sweet dog Majik, who I sadly a couple years ago, had Addison's disease. So, I have no problem giving any medications, if need be. I have quite the soft spot for the older pooches, also! I'm currently in an online class and only work occasionally, so I have a lot of free time to devote to your pets. I love to go on drives and hikes around the area, and I'm always happy to have another sidekick! I have a fenced yard and a big comfy couch. Beetlejuice, my dog, is obsessed with toys, so we have a ton of those as well. Bernie isn't much of a player, but he is a masterful napper.

About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I could remember, always have 1 or 3 in the house. My family and I used to foster dogs until they found a forever home. I'm very good with all dogs of all ages. I currently do not have a job due to the store I was working at closing down. I am available all day except for Tuesday and anytime works with me. Making sure your pet is as comfortable as possible is a top priority of mine. I love playing with dogs and letting them get out all the energy they want.

About: Hello. I'm a RN who works night shift. I enjoy caring for people and animals. I've had dogs and cats all my life. Im patient and enjoy training my dog Sadie. She is a wild mix breed with a lot of energy. I've also taught my cats to have manners as well. Let me know if I can be any help to you and your fur babies. I work three nights a week as an RN Sunday Monday and Tuesday. I am available to most days except Mondays and Tuesdays from 8-4 My husband and I care for our dog and three cats. The cats have free roam over the house and are fed wet and dry food. Our dog has her own dog room that was an add on to our home where she stays at night. During the day she is with us around the house or outside in the yard and stays within the boundary of her E fence. She is fed nightly at the same time because I believe routine is the best for dogs.

“Kristy was fantastic with my two mutts when I had to leave for a three-day work trip. They had a lot of separation anxiety but she managed them perfectly and sent lots of wonderful pictures of both the dogs as well as my cats that came and went while she was here. I am so happy to have her now established as a resource for future pet sitting!”

About: Ive had animals since I was a little girl (around 7/8) and I’m now in my late twenties! I’ve taken care of cats, dogs: old and puppies, those on medications and those that are not. I work with my own dogs and friends dogs to teach them new tricks and I take them for walks when the weather permits. I do overnight watches for a friend when they’re out of town for long periods of time. I’ve also worked at a vets office for 1-2yrs as the receptionist and occasional 2nd hand in the back to help the techs/assistants/doctors if necessary. I do work full time but no worries! Your pet will still get their proper care before I head in for the day/night and as well as after work! They’ll still get their loves, breakfast/dinner, playtime and walk time. Majority of the time I do have two set days off in a row during the weekdays but I work a job where that can change based on the demand. When I’m at my clients home, I will respect their home like it was my own. I will respect their animals like they were my own as well. If there are set rules in place how the owner wishes for their animal to be cared for, you have no worries there, I will follow them to a T. I want your pets to feel loved and at ease, like I am their friend they’ve known for years, and to do that I will do my best in providing them all the attention and care they need. :)

About: Hello and thank you for showing interest in my Rover profile! I am Shannon and I have decided to settle down in Bristol after spending a few years pursuing my passion of travel. I traveled full time in my RV and had some wonderful experiences caring for animals while on the road! After the loss of my beloved German Shepherd a few years ago, I had an abundance of time and love to give to other furry friends. I decided to join Rover and it has been wonderful. I work from home, so your animal/s will have access to me throughout the day! I am very experienced with taking care of all different types, sizes, and ages of animals. I provide plenty of playtime and walks as needed for your pet! I also have experience providing medications and assisting animals with mobility difficulties. I am happy to help your pet up and down stairs, or in and out of vehicles. I have done everything from helping 4-week old puppies nurse with their mother to giving a 16-year old cat IV fluids to keep him hydrated. I work online so my schedule is very flexible. I also specialize in drop-ins and walks during the day! I love to be outside hiking and walking so your fur baby(ies) will always have plenty of exercise and one-on-one time (something you rarely get from a doggy boarding place). I am excited to meet both you and the furry members of your family and hope we can connect soon! -Shannon I am self-employed so I am able to adjust and adapt my schedule according to the needs of you and your fur babies. I am happy to work with you to ensure the needs of your pet/s are met and their normal schedules are maintained. I take great pride in creating and maintaining a safe environment for your furry friends. I treat them as I would my own. I also ensure your home is well cared for!

About: Leaving your loved ones that cannot talk and describe their experience is scary sometimes. You want to be able to trust that they are in good hands with someone who will abide by your training, rules, and care as well as someone who will love them, show them as much attention as possible (especially important since their Person is away), and pay attention to their cues. I have been around cats and dogs my entire life, and love them more than most of the human race if we are being honest. I take pride in making new cat and dog friends wherever I go, and I can't wait to become friends with your best friend! While I love dogs and will enjoy caring for and playing with them, I am particularly drawn to cats. I have experience with both (but yes, primarily cats) since early childhood, and know how to read their body language and gradually warm up to them and build their trust. I truly enjoy the play and attention aspect that is needed when pet caregiving, and while no one enjoys cleaning a litter box or being a pooper scooper, it's something that is worth the reward of their company. I am usually home, with only things like taking my family to their job, school, and sitter as well as store runs taking up my time. I do gig work such as this and shopping/errands/delivery so I won't be away from the pet care job much if a boarding situation, and not for long increments when I am. Safety is key, I check exits before exiting, I will not leave two animals alone together that previously haven't been alone together nor will I leave them alone with kids, mine or any others. I will follow the owner's wishes as to not compromise their pet's routine or anything that could risk their health or wellbeing.

About: If you allow me to be apart of your animals life, I promise you will not regret it. I know how these fur babies can worry us when we are not with them. My goal is to ensure my clients parents that they are in the best hands possible. I will do whatever is necessary for you and your fur babies to be safe and comfortable. I hope to hear from you soon and be your favorite reliable sitter from now on! I work from home, so will be around 24/7. We have a fenced in yard! And your pet will never be lonely, we are always around for some cuddles and play time! I work from home so have ample time for an extra fur baby! I am here to give you peace of mind while you are away! I have a fenced in yard, and dogs of my own to keep yours company. I will send you many updates and pictures throughout their stay!

About: I use my experience as an RN to better care for dogs and cats. I have great assessment skills that help me understand your pets better. I have years of experience caring for geriatric people and animals. I have developed an empathy for pets and pet parents that only comes from years of working to provide the best possible care I can. Whatever your pet needs, from feeding to end of life care, I would be honored to have that responsibility. I am available any day of the week. I do have other obligations occasionally. The sooner you call, the better I will be able to accomodate you and your pet. When we decide that I will care for your pet, I prefer to meet both (or all) of you in your home so that we can discuss your pets needs. I like to spend some time getting to know all involved better, At that time you can show me whatever I might need to know. I look forward to meeting you!
