Dog Walking Maynardville

About: I’ve grown up having dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, Guinea Pigs, and birds. As I got older I was fortunate enough to move to the country where I also got to have horses, chickens, and goats. We even had a pet pig! I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets my whole life because they see the passion I have for animals. My dogs have all lived long healthy lives because of the love and care I provide. We currently have two Goldendoodles, who are littermate sisters. We obtained our girls after we lost all 3 of our senior dogs within a year. Our hearts were broken and we knew our home needed dogs running around. We got them at 13 weeks old and had them trained to go out in less than a week. By the next week they knew to ring the bells to go out. We had them crate trained after 3 nights and the only time there was an accident in the crate was when they had an upset stomach. We only used the crates for when we were going to be out and at night. This kept them safe from home hazards. They both loved their crates as it was their safe space. They have both outgrown their crates and sleep in the room with us. They are 2 years old and completely spoiled! If you select me to care for your baby, he/she will get all the love and cuddles the can handle. I am retired but I still have so much energy and what better way to spend my time than playing with animals. I’m available 7 days a week to care for your pets. Currently I am not keeping fur babies in my home due to lack of fencing. Once we fence in our yard I will offer in home care.

About: I have been around animals my entire life! There was never a time I didn’t have a let of some kind. I was always helping neighbors and family members with their animals. I have worked at dog training facilities where we also had doggy daycare. I’ve worked many years at vet offices as well. Therefore my experience with pets with medical needs gives me the knowledge of taking care of your fur baby who may need a little extra attention. I am home throughout the day as well as nights and evenings so your fur babies will get all the love and play time they need! I have a large unfenced yard where your babies can enjoy running while attached to a long leash. They will get to roam around in the home as long as they are potty trained and dog friendly. I have a room that is a dedicated dog room where crates are kept for the dogs to be safely while I am away. YOUR PET MUST BE CRATE TRAINED! Please bring a crate for each dog you are boarding with me unless prior arrangements have been made! I do have a baby so your pet must be good with children.

About: (PSA - I’m married! So if you don’t mind a couple watching your pets, we’ll be more than happy to serve you! The below agreement will still apply, of course; there’s just a second set of hands. I can also watch your home and pets solo if that’s what you prefer. 🥰) Home/Pet Owner Satisfaction Agreement: - My personal motto is "Leave it better than you found it." - Your home will be taken care as if it was my own. - I will do light cleaning and even landscaping if needed, so your home stays well kept. - Your pets will receive the attention they deserve. - I will do my absolute best to make sure their daily routine stays the same as if you were home. - I will send you all the pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. - If you ask me to do something, it will get done. - When you return home, you'll be able to rest immediately because your home will be clean and your pets happy (though definitely excited to see you again!). I always don't trust people easily, and I usually rely on myself a lot to get things done. So it'd be scary for me to have a stranger taking care of my home and pets. I'd worry constantly over my furry family. That's why I try to immediately put you at ease during our initial conversation and respect your home and pet(s). I grew up with pets (hence the 20 years of experience), so I am definitely an animal lover. I've also house/pet sit here on Rover and by word-of-mouth referrals for two years now and already have 32 reviews of pleased home and pet owners. After reading the reviews on my profile and browsing the photo gallery (Get ready for cuteness overload and not from me!), here's how you can work with me: 1. Send me a message. 2. In that message, tell me about your pets, their needs, and what dates you'll be gone. 3. We'll adjust the pricing if needed. 4. Before finalizing the booking, I will meet you and your pet(s) in your home for you to walk me through the daily routine and see if we're a good fit. 5. If both parties agree, we confirm the booking. It's that easy! Thank you so much in advance for trusting me with your home and pet(s)! In return, I will strive to take the best care of your home and pet(s). So that you won't loose any sleep worrying if they're okay or not. That way, you can actually enjoy your vacation or fully focus on business and/or family while you're gone. I work remotely full time as a writer and freelance marketer, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m completely available any day for whatever you need and will be able to give your home and pet(s) the attention they deserve. I will follow whatever instructions you give to a T. As a creative person, my brain can be scattered, but having instructions in a text or list helps a ton. That way, you have utmost peace of mind that your home and pet(s) are receiving the best care!

About: I’ve had lifelong love for animals of all kinds, shapes and sizes!! I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pets unique personality and needs! Currently I’m a Grad student a Carson Newman, this gives me the flexibility to provide care at most hours and any day of the week!! When caring for pets in my home or a clients home, I provide a safe, comfortable and welcoming environment tailored to each pets needs paying close attention to specific instructions from pet owners keeping all parties involved feeling relaxed and comfortable!

About: I have not only had dogs of my own, I also have 10 years experience in dog sitting. I am happy to take them on up to four walks a day and to the dog park if that is your preference. I will make sure to enforce any train/rules you want me to follow. I’m a part time teacher so the longest I am gone most days is 4 hour increments. I am available for boarding, walks, and play time all week! I am a part time teacher so I work from 8-12 on weekdays, leaving me plenty of time to offer your pet care and attention. I will always stick to the training, rules, and routines you have set up for your animals. I have plenty of time for animals that may require more attention, and no animals of my own in the home.

About: I’ve had many dogs all my life. Family, friends, and neighbors have depended on me for house/pet sitting, pet feeding, bathing, and pet medication needs more seriously over the last 5 years. I plan to open a pet care business eventually, and I would love the opportunity to serve you while I work towards these ambitions. I love dogs, any size, and energy level. I work bi-weekly and my calendar reflects my exact availability! When I’m not working I stay home as much as I want/ need, which means your pet will have my full attention!! Your pet will be my best friend. I’m laying roots in Knoxville and simply can’t afford my own pet yet, so I am grateful to befriend yours!

About: I love animals and have grown up around them my whole life. I have watched and help train dogs from a young age. I have had experience with all sizes and breeds of dogs. I only ask that if the dog will be coming to my place, I would prefer they be medium sized or smaller since I live in an apartment without a backyard. But, don’t worry! There is a dog park right down the road! :) I also have 2 cats, so the pets coming to my apartment have to be good with kitties! I would love to meet your furry creatures and help take care of them for you while you are busy! I can’t wait to hear from you! :) I am currently a student who works part-time, making my schedule very flexible to fit all of your needs! For the most part, my schedule is very open and even when it is not, I am always able to move things around and make time for your furry friends! I have a large apartment in a very pet friendly neighborhood. I am close to various parks to take dogs on walks frequently. I have two cats but they have their own rooms in my apartment and will not be allowed near the other animals as a safety precaution. Your animal will get access to the main areas so that they consistently have someone near them.

About: I am 31 and I have worked in retail at a pet store and doggy daycare for the past two years. I previously worked at another dog kennel, where I would take care of dogs in the best way possible! I walk, exercise, feed, medicate, clean, and occasionally bathe dogs! I love my job and I have experienced different breeds and all personality types. I have dealt with senior dogs who must be medicate at certain times, to the smallest puppy who must eat at certain times. I am reliable, responsible, and will care for your fur baby like my very own! I will say I am NOT good with plants, sadly. Not sure why. I water them and let them get sun but they still die. I killed my cactus in about 3 days 😐 If you have plants to care for I will water them and make sure they get enough sunlight, but that hasn't worked so far, but I will do my best! I have certian availability and reliable transportation, as well as a love and passion for animal care. I am willing to travel to meet you and your fur baby. I follow your exact instructions when it comes to the care and needs of your pets. When it comes to your pet's safety, I work diligently to protect your fur baby and keep you at piece of mind!

“Lucy was great! She came over to meet my dogs before the day she would be coming to pet sit. One of my dogs has been known to be afraid of strangers when we're not home. She was able to give both of my dogs potty breaks and she updated me when she was finished at my house. 5 stars!!”

About: I've had both cats and dogs my whole life and I have been boarding and walking dogs through River for about three years now! I recently relocated to Knoxville and am excited to take on new clients to spend time with their fur babies and treat them as my own! Lots of treats and lots of love involved typically 🤗 I am able to walk dogs or drop by and check on your dog or cat any time of the week or weekend! I am flexible so I can fit whatever day or time works best for my clients. I do not currently board in my home. If I come to your home to watch after your pet, I am very respectful of your home and the items in it. I want to make your pet as comfortable as possible and maintain their regular eating schedule. I will ensure they have access to drinking water at all times and get frequent potty breaks, every two hours or so. We will go for walks, if permitted, and spend extra time with play toys and cuddles!

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 20 years. In the last 10 years I have been fostering retired racing grey hounds and huskies so I'm ready to give every dog in between the care and attention they deserve. I have regularly watched friends and families animals since I was young. I am excited for every opportunity to get to know new dogs and fall more in love with my regulars! Please let me be your peace of mind the next time you're out of town! I'm currently have a lot of free time on my hands and would love to fill that time with taking care of sweet loveable pets. As with any of my ventures, I put forth 100% of my energy to making sure your pet has a great time while you're away. I guarantee a calm, happy and healthy pet upon your return! I've seen dogs become less anxious when they are staying in their own home, in the neighborhood they know. They know you will eventually return and they dont need the transition time it takes for them to become comfortable in a unfamilar place. For that reason, I do like to promote house sitting as the least stressful method of boarding for nervious pets. Please let me know if you require any plants to watered as id be happy to help you in any other way I can. I prefer to keep my bookings to one dog or one family at a time. This is to ensure I give each dog my full attention to keep them safe and happy while yall are missing eachother! This means that I prefer walking in quiet neighborhoods instead of a park with more distractions so I can get familiar with your dog's responses and they can get familiar with me during our first few walks together. After a few walks, and your permission, we can go to dog parks where we slowly work up to being unleased. I strive for 2 or more walks a day during the summer, 3 or more walks a day during spring, fall, and winter. When we arent walking or playing outside, me and your pets will be chilling inside with 2 or more feedings a day. If you book on a holiday it is likely I will have freeze dried chicken or salmon wet food to give your pet as a special holiday treat! I feel that if its a human holiday, its also a special day for our pets because they're family.

About: I had a Bichon Frise from age of 8 to 19. I have taken care of my friend’s bulldog and golden doodle for a year or so and I have also dog sat wheaten doodles and labradors. I also volunteered at the ARL! I am a college student looking to spend some time with doggos! I work part time and volunteer but I have a pretty flexible schedule! I feel comfortable putting leashes and harnesses on dogs as well as letting into crates if needed! I feel comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and understand that some dogs just don’t like to be around others & I can respect and control that!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of various sizes and personalities and am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention and affection. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine and making them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m responsible, reliable, and active, and I enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs. I also am more than happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry friend is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, playtime, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day. I prioritize being reliable and making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while maintaining a clean and safe environment. I also am more than happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
