Dog Walking McKnight

About: I’v taken care of dogs since I was old enough to be responsible for them, around age 12. I was in charge of feeding our family dogs, walking them, and exercising them through intentional playtime. We had 3 dogs then, and now we own two. I enjoy going on long walks and hikes, and often take my dogs on hikes. I also enjoy a casual run, and I am happy to take dogs on runs as well! I just graduated from college, and I have a couple weeks available until I begin my job. I will start working as a Firefighter for the Franklin fire department on June 8. Once that starts, I will be available on most weekends and evenings to care for your pet! I am happy to walk or run your pet! I also offer pet-sitting. As a responsible student, with several years of families trusting me with babysitting, I can give you confidence that your home and pet will be cared for as if they were my own.

“Shayla has been wonderful! She walks my little Rocky every Tuesday while I'm at school. It's been so helpful to know I can rely on her to help give him a potty break mid day, and Rocky seems to love her!! :)”

About: I have been a lifelong dog owner, caring for multiple breeds including dachshunds, chocolate lab, beagle mixes, Doberman, Rhodesian ridgeback mix, and mini schnauzer. I have hands-on experience providing end-of-life care for a senior dog with osteosarcoma, demonstrating compassion and patience in difficult situations. Currently, I care for a 5-year-old neutered Doberman and an 8-year-old spayed Mini Schnauzer. My work-from-home schedule allows me a flexible schedule for your pet’s supervision. This deep personal experience, combined with my flexible availability ensures professional and cozy care tailored to each dog's needs. Since I work from home, taking care of dogs fits perfectly into my day. I’m able to check in on them frequently and give them plenty of breaks and playtime. I make sure they get regular exercise and lots of affection between work tasks. Because I’m home almost 24/7, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit each dog’s unique needs and routines, making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away. I ensure that all dogs are treated with love and respect. Letting them know they’re safe and that everything is okay while their humans are away is of utmost importance to me.

“He is amazing. Plan to keep him walking my dogs. Very nice and shows up on time!”

About: Hi! Before moving to Tennessee, I lived at a 35-dog professional racing kennel on the North Shore of Minnesota. Needless to say, I am passionate about dogs, and critters of all kinds for that matter! I am well-versed in medication delivery, first-aid, temperamental pets, unique feeding preferences, and just about anything else you could throw at me. I work from home with flexible hours! I am a notorious early bird and I’m more than happy to spend as much time as possible with your baby. I am eager to learn your exact care preferences to make sure your pet barely notices you’re gone! As the owner of two incredibly high-energy breeds, I believe that a tired pooch is a happy one. I would love nothing more than to make sure your baby has fetched, walked, and played to their heart’s desire.

“Haley came to my home for a meet and greet before her walk with Spirit. She was very sweet and answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease that my pup was in good hands. And he was. She communicated very well if anything occurred. I would definitely let her walk Spirit again.”

About: I’ve loved dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. I started learning about dog training when I was around 10 years old, checking out books and videos from the library because I was fascinated by how dogs communicate and respond to people. I have experience with breeds such as Boxers, Poodles, German Shepherds, and Pit Bulls, and I’m very patient with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I believe calm, confident energy and clear communication are so important when caring for pets. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy giving animals a great experience. On walks, I don’t rush dogs. I let them sniff, explore, and enjoy themselves while making sure they feel safe and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet with kindness and respect. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because animals are already such a big part of my life. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure pets feel cared for. I enjoy being active and getting outside, so dog walks and drop-in visits are something I genuinely look forward to. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give pets the time they need, whether that means a good walk, extra snuggles, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I pay close attention to each owner’s instructions, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special preferences. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I give pets fresh water, attention, playtime, walks, and patience based on their personality and needs. I also enjoy sending updates so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Fun fact I used to be afraid of animals until I was about 12. Now I have 4 cats and have owned 6 dogs over the years. I have trained 3 of them to a basic degree and also own a snake. I love animals of all kinds and more often than not they warm up to me instantly! I am interested in summer work during the off season and am available most days almost anytime with some exceptions. I prefer mornings to mid afternoons but am very flexible! Standard house sitting includes overnight care plus daytime absences up to 4–8 hours depending on the pets’ needs. I also offer constant care for houses and pets for a custom rate depending on the individual and pets schedule! Since I have 4 cats and a human I cant board pets at home. But I have no issues staying over a night if needed, and can easily House-sit, Dog-sit, and Cat-sit in the greater Franklin area!

I provide care exclusively in your pet’s home or through outings, so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling secure while you’re away. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible—feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I spend quality time with them so they feel cared for, not just “checked on.” For outings, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise and enrichment tailored to their energy level and personality. I’m very attentive to behavior, surroundings, and safety at all times. My goal is to provide consistent, loving care while keeping your pet happy, relaxed, and in their normal routine.

About: I myself have a spunky 3 yr old border collie/shepherd mix. We have worked with a trainer to channel her high energy drive. Because of this, I have learned ways to overcome a lot of challenges dog owners face & how to build healthy bonds. With me, you wouldn’t be getting just a regular walk or play! We will learn cool things together & have so much fun while doing it 😎 In addition to my own current fur baby, I’ve owned two other pups as well as fostered back home in WI. I dog sit for friends, families, and neighbors. I treat your pups just as my own 🐶 I work M-F at home and have a very flexible work schedule as well as being completely free on weekends! I am able to do drop by visits and walks just about anytime you are needing! The same trust and care that my own receives is exactly what yours will too! I take great pride in ensuring all pups & homes are safe in my care.

About: I've taken care of my house dog since he was a puppy. I've also watched after neighborhood pets (including senior dogs and cats) for 2 years! I am working part time and will be in school so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets as long as I have a couple days notice :) I love playing with pets as well as cuddling or even just keeping them company (pets that don't like to play). I will also follow your pet care instructions as closely as possible!

About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats the last 7 years. In a boarding and clinic environment. I have experience with every size dog and cat as well as medicine administration (oral or injection). I’m usually home with my fur babies unless I have to run errands. I might be gone up to 4 hours. When boarders are in my home I try to stay with them more until comfortable. Then if they are social can introduce my pack and slowly meet one by one. Eventually everyone will be able to be out and play. I have a fenced in front yard and fur babies to play with your pets. We have a variety of temperaments and ages, based on your pups body language I would probably have the right fit for them :) or they can also have alone time and be rotated out to avoid other dogs. I crate all my dogs at night before bed. I have cameras around my yard and outside the house for security as well.
