Dog Walking Jones-Buena Vista

About: For the past 10 years, I have dedicated myself to pet sitting, providing long walks, boarding, and even some training. Growing up, I was never able to have pets of my own, so pet sitting has given me the joy of welcoming, many animals into my life as a part of my extended family. My reliability, friendliness, and patience, have allowed me to build trusting relationships with both pets and their owners, ensuring that every pet in my care feels safe, loved and wellcared for. I am in the works to enter graduate school, allowing for plenty of time to take care of your pet babies. Caring for them would make my day a bit more brighter Your pets are allowed in my home as my own, lots of cuddles, walks, and love. When at your home I will make sure to follow all task asked, play time, and many belly rubs

“Teresa is the best! She communicates clearly and is always prompt with her responses, making sure I’m kept in the loop when she takes my dog, Marley, for walks. Marley is always excited to see her, and she’s become a familiar face he truly looks forward to. We love Teresa!”

About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and have had four different dogs throughout my life, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, personalities, and life stages. When I was 10 years old, I started my own neighborhood dog walking and plant watering business, which taught me responsibility, reliability, and the importance of caring for other people's pets as if they were my own. I know every dog has their own routine and personality, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply some extra love and attention, I'll provide dependable, compassionate care and treat them like one of my own. I'll be starting graduate school at Vanderbilt this fall, so pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I'll be available after my classes to provide walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I look forward to making it a regular part of my week while helping busy pet owners ensure their pets receive the care, exercise, and attention they deserve. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine. Whether I'm taking your dog for a walk, stopping by for a drop-in visit, or caring for your pet in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I'll provide plenty of exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love and attention while treating both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: Have been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and many different breeds across the years. Labs, setters, and various shepherds. I also owned a rabbit growing up and have cared for horses. I work fully remotely and have a flexible schedule. I can easily stop for bathroom breaks while housesitting, go on walks during the day, or work remotely anywhere with wifi. I love to read and have put a lot of time into understanding dog body language, respectful touch for pets, and also just love to see them happy and content. Any dog I care for I would treat as my own.

“Anna is amazing! She connected with Cali easily and built trust with her right away. During visits she helped reinforce skills that Cali was learning and worked with her on some new ones too. Anna’s reliable and a great communicator. I highly recommend her!”

About: We consistently watch friends’ dogs and have grown up with dogs our whole life. Our friends and neighbors rely on us to take care of their loving pets. We have plenty of time to love on your pup since we are on summer break! We are currently on summer break, so we have plenty of time to take care of your dog and provide them with loving care! This is our only summer job, so all attention can go to your dog! We live in a gated community with a large dog park. We have access to other dogs that your pup can play with, and our apartment also has a pet washing station where we can bathe your dog! We also have space for your dog to roam in our home, and have a toy basket for them to choose toys to play with. We also have blankets they can lay on when sitting on the couch.

About: I have always had dogs growing up! I helped take care of our elderly dog, giving him medicine and helping him up/down the stairs before he passed. And after him, we got 2 CRAZY puppies so I have helped with all stages when it comes to dogs! My schedule is very open this summer, so I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule, whether you need care during the week, on weekends, or at the last minute whenever possible. I am happy to follow any instructions you give me! I know how important it is for your animals to be cared for while you are gone. I love going on walks, so adding a furry companion would be perfect!

About: Hi! I’m a dog mom who takes pet care seriously and understands that every pet has unique needs. I have hands-on experience caring for my own dog, including daily walks, enrichment, supplements, medications, special feeding routines, and monitoring changes in behavior or health. I’m especially knowledgeable about caring for small dogs and pets with mobility concerns. Through caring for my own dog, I’ve learned the importance of preventative care, safe exercise, elevated feeding setups when appropriate, joint health support, and following veterinarian recommendations closely. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, whether that means preparing bone broth toppers, adding supplements, maintaining medication schedules, monitoring food intake, or sticking to a specific routine. I know that small details matter when it comes to keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. Communication is important to me, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes while you’re away. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, attention, and peace of mind that I’d want for my own dog. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, a senior who needs a little extra support, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated like family. I’m currently searching for full-time work opportunities, so I and have daily availability to spend great outdoors time with your pup at any time of day. Safety comes first in everything I do. I carefully follow feeding routines, medication schedules, supplement instructions, exercise restrictions, and any veterinarian recommendations provided by owners. I’m especially attentive to pets with mobility concerns, senior pets, or pets with special routines. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, hydration, and overall well-being and will communicate regularly so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have a knack for winning over pets, especially the anxious or nervous ones. I like to be a safe, unconditionally loving place for each and every one of them. I am a life coach, so I have a very fluid schedule with a lot of gaps. Care for animals easily fits into my schedule, or should I say, can easily match their schedule :) I treat your home (and your pets) as you would. There's a good chance your home would be even a little tidier after I leave. I want you to have the same, "ah, it's so nice to trust this person" feel I would want.

“Kendra did a great job walking my dog, Chewie! She took him on long walks and sent me really nice pictures that reassured me he was happy and well cared for. I appreciated knowing he was in good hands, and I’d definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I'm a 10 year old cat mom and a dog auntie! I have taken care of both dogs and cats for years. I am familiar with giving animals, specifically cats, medicine (my cat has had urinary issues throughout the years) and I LOVE when my friends ask me to watch/play/walk their sweet doggies. I am currently working part time so my availability is very flexible. I work Wednesdays and Thursdays and have majority of the days open the remainder of the week. I respect boundaries and any specific notes that you have for your animals. They are a part of the family so when I enter the home I want them to feel safe and loved.

“Thomas was amazing with my puppy & she gravitated towards him from when she first saw him. Beautiful spirit and grate with my baby. In grateful for the time you spent walking her for me. And I highly recommend.”

About: I have been pet sitting for friends, family members, and neighbors since I was in middle school. I have also always been a regular volunteer at the animal shelters, so I have experience with all kinds of dog personalities, behaviors, and activity levels. I have trained all my dogs myself so if you are looking for help with a puppy/newly adopted dog, I’d love to help encourage those good behaviors while you are away! I work a pretty relaxed, work from home schedule. I am extremely active so would love to help you out with walks while you are at work, but would also love some couch potato company if that’s what your pet is into! Currently not available for any new walk/drop in requests Mondays & Wednesdays from 11-2. For drop-in visits, I will always take the time to figure out what your pet needs, and never make them feel rushed! For walks, I will cater our time to whatever your pet is looking for, whether that is as much distance as possible or as many stops and sniffs as possible! The end goal is your pet coming home happy and healthy and I’m more than happy to do whatever that takes!

“Kirstie is amazing. She has great energy and is very friendly. Kona took to her immediately and she treated him like he was her own dog. I was very impressed with how fast Kona and Kirstie connected. She was able to quickly pick up the commands and rules Kona follows and we felt comfortable leaving our dog in such good hands.”

“Was very communicative and friendly! Took them on a great walk and kept me informed about how it went! Would totally reach out again for future walks!”

About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking since I was 15 :) I love all aged pups and love long walks with them! Currently a Nurse at Vanderbilt and I am saving up money for my fiancé' and I's wedding next year :) I currently work 7-5 on M,W, TH, F. I am available after 6 any of those days and all day on Tuesdays and weekends. I am also available early mornings around 5am if needed :) I treat every dog in a way that fits their needs. I understand that some pups need time to warm up to new faces and some of them love new friends! I am happy to discuss your pets needs.

About: Hello! I'm Alexis. I've owned animals all my life. I signed up for Rover to be able to help people care for their dogs. I can provide all basic care and love them like they're my own. I have years of animal experience with dogs and cats as well as wild animals. Right now I am currently working full time so I can only accept pets that are ok being dropped in on either early in the morning or late in the day! However my schedule does change so feel free to reach out! I would like to keep your pets routine as similar as possible to their routine with you! Any favorite spots your dog likes to walk to or specific meal times will be noted and followed

About: My fiancé, Martha, and I both came from dog families and have had various breeds our whole lives! Despite my best efforts to not be a “cat person” too, they have always gravitated toward me and eventually wore me down so I’m a sucker for a cat purr now too. Plenty of experience dog- and cat-sitting for friends over the years, in addition to the ones we’ve owned. It’s only recently that we don’t currently have our own, so we’d love to love on your fur-babies when you’re not able to! We both work hybrid jobs (some in the office, some at home) with incredible flexibility in our day to day schedules. Recently engaged and no kids (and currently no pets of our own), so we have plenty of free time and are missing our pet snugs! Your pets are welcome in our home as long as they are housebroken. We have a fenced in back yard, albeit somewhat small, and no competing pets at either of our immediate neighbors’ houses. We love walking the neighborhood and try to go for a walk everyday, so this is a great excuse to keep that up while making some new friends with the neighborhood fur-babies!
