Dog Walking In McKissack Park

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and homes, primarily for friends and family, as well as through fostering with local rescues and the Humane Society across multiple states. I offer boarding for short-term and long-term stays, including support for pet owners traveling for military deployment or medical reasons. Weekend and holiday stays fill quickly, while weekday stays often have more flexibility. I am attentive, reliable, and experienced with a wide range of animals, and I prioritize their comfort and well-being at all times. I’m available dependent on your schedule as I’m a student right now. Lots of time to play with your fur babies and I have a dog park nearby for the puppers. I have a spare room for separating critters if there are issues with multiple pets. I have many interactive toys in my home and enjoy trying new tricks with training treats. Adaptable to your needs!

“Teresa is an angel! She takes fantastic care of my golden retriever pup, Mavvy, and is incredibly reliable. Very grateful to have her and would highly recommend?l!”

About: I grew up with pets and love them basically more than people! I treat them how I would myself! I need them to be well fed, comfortable, given attention and getting in their steps! I’m currently training for a fitness instructor job which is only a few hours a day. Not your typical 9-5, so my hours are more available depending on what time you would like me to help out. I make sure the pet is comfortable and well fed. If there’s ever an emergency I would immediately take them to the vet. I’ve had some scary experiences of my own and wouldn’t want that for someone else.

“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’ve worked with a range of animals from puppies and kitties to seniors. I understand each animal is unique in its needs and routines, and will strive to give your pet the best care possible. PLEASE NOTE: I may not be available for day-of bookings. I currently work a 8am-5pm Monday through Friday, and would be available in the mornings before work, during lunch (can occur between 11:30am-1:30pm) and after work (most days). I am in town and free most weekends. I’d love to chat and see what works best for your pet. I am comfortable with taking out your pet for walks, bathroom breaks and cuddles. I can feed them on their schedule, I am comfortable with crates, and I am familiar with administering pills / flea medicine.

“Piper has been such a great help on the busy work weeks and has even made the time to help out coworkers as well! Highly recommend her and my girls love her!”

“Vivi was great with Clyde! She arrived on time, took him on a nice walk, and send us some cute pictures with updates. Will definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. From playful, high-energy pups to calm, cuddly cats, I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them extra attention and affection, I make sure they feel cared for every moment you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love all animals. My goal is not just to care for your pet, but to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I currently am not working. I am available to watch your animals Monday through Sunday! I am available for up to 3 drop in visits daily between 6am through 5pm. If I do have any unavailability in my schedule it will always be updated in my calendar with notice! I will be offering dog walking & drop in visits for cats and/or dogs. I will make sure that your animals have food, water, pets, playtime & anything else necessary that you require while you are gone! For kitty’s I will make sure that the litter box(s) are scooped or changed out with new litter if need be while I am there!

About: I grew up on a hobby farm caring for chickens, dogs, cats, and just about every animal in between, so being around animals has always been second nature to me. I was also actively involved in 4H and FFA, which taught me responsibility, attention to detail, and how to confidently care for animals with different needs and personalities. I started pet sitting in Nashville in 2019 after moving here to pursue my music business degree, and since then, my business has grown entirely through referrals and repeat clients. I’m proud to say many of my clients have trusted me with their pets for years because I truly care for every animal like they’re my own. I have experience with overnight house sitting, drop-ins, walks, feeding routines, medications, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. I also know how important communication is, so I always provide updates with photos and pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and routines. I like to joke that I become your pet’s second favorite human, but earning their trust and making them feel happy and cared for is genuinely the best part of what I do! I am a musician so my work comes and goes. I have a lot of free time to work around so pet sitting is perfect! I make sure that I have clear expectations from all of my clients on what is/isn’t acceptable in their home. I make detailed notes to make sure everyone is happy with the routine!

About: I’ve cared for every kind of pup in my lifetime— from potty-training puppies to sweet senior dogs, from tiny little nuggets to 200 lb gentle giants. Having owned two dogs myself and cared for dogs belonging to family and friends, I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I’ve provided trusted dog sitting and house sitting services, managing feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I’m confident handling both high-energy dogs and calmer senior dogs, and I always prioritize safety, consistency, and communication. I don’t currently have a dog of my own, so every dog I meet gets to be “my dog” for a little while, and I treat them with the same care, attention, and love I would give my own. I just graduated college and am in between jobs, so I have plenty of time to care for your pup. My schedule is open and flexible enough to accommodate same day services. I currently cannot care for pets in my home; however, I’m happy to commute to a client’s home to provide care where pets are most comfortable and familiar. I always try to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible, focusing on creating a calm and dependable environment through consistent walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and companionship. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. In high school, worked in an animal hospital where I was in charge of kennel care and assisting veterinary personnel. Since moving to Nashville, I have missed having fur babies to love and care for and I’m excited to care for animals again! I have a flexible work schedule on Fridays and I am free on weekends. I live off West End and I’m near the Vanderbilt-Belmont area. I have pets at my parents home but I do not have a pet here in Nashville. I have plenty of time and love to dedicate to your fur baby.

“Brianna was so great with my 2 big dogs! They loved her and I felt so at ease going out of town knowing she would be coming everyday to care for them.”

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! 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!

“Niki was great with our boy, Sokka! We got home and he had enough food & water still and no accidents! Niki updated us once her visit with Sokka was complete. We would hire her again for another visit if needed!”

“Sarah was the best! While I was out of the country she made sure my pugs still got their midday walks! They appreciated the exercise and treats. Will definitely use her again!”

“My dogs had a few accidents including getting into my trash and tearing it up in the house. Savannah was a great walker and helped us out by cleaning up the mess. I would book again.”
