About: Hello! My name is Jess! All of my life I have had dogs. They have always been a part of me. I started working with animals when I was very young, volunteering for fostering, working at shelters, and working for rescue groups. I grew up in the country where we used to have a ton of animals! Dogs, cats, (even chickens and gunnies). I now live in a spacious house in nashville with my hisband, daughter, 2 rescue dogs and rescue cat. The past year, I have been fostering for a local rescue. I’m so fortunate my two dogs get along well with others. My house is a dogs dream, as we have a huge fenced in back yard and I work from home! So they run until their heart is content. We welcome all breeds here and would love to meet you and your furry companion. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible! I let my dogs in and out many times a day - our house is equipped with all the toys and beds a dog could want I take safety very seriously. Especially when it’s a life I’m responsible for. Ensuring all locks are locked and precautions are in place before walking or letting out a dog is my number one focus. Then we can have all the fun!
“Abby was a pleasure to work with! She did great with my energetic and rambunctious pup and gave me lots of good information at the completion of the walk. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 10, helping my parents care for multiple pets growing up. As an adult, I’ve had 3 dogs and 2 cats throughout the years! so I’m very familiar with the energy (and snuggles!) that come with both puppies and big breeds. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with: • Training multiple puppies 🐶 • Administering medications 💊 • Managing special diets 🦴 • Caring for both high energy, large/small breed dogs 🐾🩷 I truly love animals! not just dogs, but cats and all creatures, and treat them like family. Their safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available most weekdays and free on weekends as well. I also have a car, so I’m able to come to your home for drop-ins, walks, or overnight care as needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to follow their usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether I’m dropping in for a visit, taking your pup for a walk, having them for boarding, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.❤️ Here’s what you can expect from me: • For dog sitting, I’ll give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles, while also keeping up with feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special instructions you leave. • During drop-in visits, I’ll check in on your pet, let them out, refresh their food/water, and spend some quality time with them so they’re not feeling alone. • For dog walking, I’ll take your pup on a fun and safe walk, giving them both exercise and stimulation based on their energy level. Cleanliness, communication, and care are my priorities. I treat every pet and home with the same respect and love I’d want for my own.

Meredith was absolutely wonderful! Went above and beyond to make sure my dog was as comfortable as could be! Communication was top notch! I absolutely look forward to using her services again! I’m so very thankful that she was able to watch my dog on such a short notice! If you want your pet to be treated like family, look no further! Worth every penny!
It’s truly a joy to have Astrid watch over our pup. She provides detailed reviews and photos, and you can see how much our baby adores her. Astrid is always attentive and insightful, noticing any subtle changes in our dog or the weather, which we really appreciate. It means so much to have someone who genuinely cares about pets as much as we do. We couldn’t be luckier to have her 🫶🏼
Lyla was great, took care of everything and followed pet care instructions to the letter. Charlie seems happy, healthy and well rested when I got home, didn't seem stressed at all and looked like he was enjoying his walks. Fish look perfect, not overfed! On the minute updates of Charlie's actions and potty break info, pictures with each update. 10/10 will hire again
Tracy is a God-send and my Brick just adores her. She is patient and loving and ready to make his day! Which makes mine! I needed her while I was out of town and she really came through. Definitely will be using her services even now that I'm home to keep my boy happy! Thank you, Tracy!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Madison. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
