Dog Walking Melrose

About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual needs. I’ve lived with and cared for animals ranging from small pets to large dogs my entire life, including senior pets and those with special needs. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m attentive, patient, and happy to provide whatever extra care your pet may need. Whether that means accommodating mobility limitations, administering routine care, cleaning up accidents, or simply providing some extra love and attention, I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable while they are in my care. 🐾❤️ I’m a graduate student at the University of Tennessee, so my weekdays are generally busy with classes until noon. I’m typically available after that and have plenty of flexibility on weekends! My schedule can vary, but I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s needs. Feel free to reach out, even if you’re not sure my schedule will work, just ask! I do not currently have the means to care for pets in my own home, but I am able to meet your pets at home and provide care however necessary!

“Gidget did a great job taking care of my boys. I really appreciate the pictures and updates she provided.”

About: I am a caring and attentive individual who absolutely loves my pets and treats them like family. Located near the Foothills of the Smoky Mountains. My home is the perfect home away from home for you pet while you enjoy your vacation. I occasionally care for my neighbors pets with drop in visits at their home when they are out of town. I am home all day with my fur babies. I would be able to care for your pet and give it all the attention and love it needs. I have a fence, but not completely closed. We are working on getting that done soon. I do have a small fence closed in around my patio so the dogs can freely hang outside with me. During potty breaks I will make sure to have your pet out with a leash at all times. I have 2 friendly dogs as well. If your pet needs to be crated I can do that also.

About: From an early age, I have cared for, rescued, and loved animals of all types. Into adulthood, I have been blessed to be trusted to provide care for several fur babies, small to large. Developing and maintaining ongoing friendships with both the pets, and the owners is important to me. Earning trust and getting invited back is what drives me. I will be honored to meet you, and your four-legged family. Thank you for your consideration! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am passionate about the well being of animals and will be available rain or shine. I believe the safety of your four-legged family member is very important. At my home, my cats are never without. Simply walking, feeding, and providing clean water is not what pet-sitting is all about. Our furry friends also need love and companionship. That, I believe, sets me apart.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for all types of pets combined with a highly personalized and attentive approach to care. I treat every pet as if they were my own — learning their unique personality, preferences, and routine so they feel comfortable and happy right away. Above all, I’m deeply committed to building trust with both the owner and the pet. Previous clients often mention how relaxed and joyful their pets are when they return home — that kind of feedback means everything to me. Pet care is something I look forward to and easily weave into my daily life. I’m a real estate agent with full control over my schedule, which means I can stay flexible and give your pets the ample time and focused attention they need. Whether it’s longer visits, mid-day check-ins, or consistent care, I’m able to prioritize them without the constraints of a traditional 9-to-5. A great deal of my work is also be done at home with a laptop while I’m snuggled up on the couch or out on the patio in the sunshine with pets. I genuinely enjoy the responsibility and rhythm of pet care and would communicate regularly with you to make sure your see that your pet feels right at home no matter their choice of daily activities and schedule. My goal is to keep you pet happy and comfortable while maintaining their normal routine while you are away- no matter the type of pet or they’re stage in life. I create a calm, safe, and loving environment for pets in my home. I start by learning their normal routine from the owner and do my best to keep it consistent. This means potty breaks matching your normal, fresh water always available, and meals served on their regular schedule with any needed medications. During the day I make sure they get plenty of playtime — whether that’s friend fun in my backyard with my two pups, play with their favorite toys, or gentle training sessions. I also give lots of affection and quiet companionship so they don’t feel lonely. At night, I provide a comfortable sleeping area (crate if preferred) or free range indoors to pick their own comfy place and I always do a final potty break before bed. My home is fully pet-proofed, clean, and free of hazards. I’ve cared for several friends’ and family dogs overnight and for extended stays, including high-energy young dogs to calmer senior pups and even stage in between. I send regular updates and photos if desired so owners can relax knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Natalie is great. She’s walked and played with both our pups (a small lazy beagle tripod and a huge energetic German Shepherd) a few times. She’s reliable and takes good care of them. We’ll definitely use her in the future!”

“Danita was amazing, she help me out at the last moment when my scheduled dog walker did not show up. I would recommend her to take care of your fur baby. She even offered to dog sit so my vacation was not stressful due to the other dog walker being a no show.”

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have a lot of hands-on experience caring for them. Over the years, I’ve taken care of dogs for friends, family, and people I didn’t personally know through pet sitting. I’m comfortable with everyday care like feeding, walks, playtime, bathing, nail trimming, and giving medication when needed. I also have experience with mild dog training and working on basic manners and routines. I understand that every dog is different. Some need lots of exercise and attention, while others are happier relaxing and sticking to their normal routine. I do my best to follow each owner’s instructions and make sure their dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and treating them like part of the family. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I make sure I have enough time for feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention. I understand how important it is for pets to stay on their normal routine, so I do my best to follow the schedule and instructions each owner provides. I’m also flexible when it comes to drop-ins, walks, and sitting, and I always make sure I have the time needed to give each pet proper care rather than rushing through a visit. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for someone else’s pet. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, and any specific rules for the home. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other areas are secure, and I keep a close eye on pets during walks, playtime, and visits. I also take the time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and comfort level so I can help them feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like I would want someone to treat my own. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and let owners know how their pet is doing while they’re in my care.

About: Although I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve always loved being around animals and would love the opportunity to care for yours! I’m responsible, patient, and very attentive to routines and individual needs. I’ll make sure your pets are fed, comfortable, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I’m very active so I love to play and keep your pet entertained. I also have experience in bathing as well! I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are doing well. I’ll treat every pet like they’re my own and do my best to make their time without you as comfortable as possible. I’m currently a student, so my schedule is flexible and I’m primarily available on weekends and select weekdays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable and safe in their own environment. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

“Cheyenne was amazingly flexible. We were new to Rover and helped us get started. We changed times and they were extremely flexible. We would definitely work with Cheyenne again”

“Thomas was wonderful with our doggo! He sent plenty of updates, videos, and pictures. Our dog looked extremely happy! Thomas had great communication and was amazing all around. He helped us so much to avoid having to board our dog while on vacation. Our dog had an accident before one of Thomas visit and he was kind enough to clean it up and offer to run the carpet cleaner. Thomas is 10/10!”

About: With 10 years of experience in caring for dogs, I’ve developed an unmatched understanding of canine behavior, health, and happiness. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of sharing my life with some truly special dogs, each of whom has shaped my approach to pet care in unique ways. My journey began with my beloved Sparkles Jane, whose sweet and gentle nature taught me the true meaning of loyalty and companionship. She was more than just a pet; she was a friend, a teacher, and a source of endless love. While Sparkles Jane is no longer with me, the lessons I learned from her continue to guide my care for all dogs I encounter. I’ve also had the pleasure of caring for Patches, whose playful spirit and affectionate personality brought joy to every moment. Through these years, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, and the deep emotional bond that forms between a dog and their caregiver. Now, I’m lucky enough to spend time with my sweet Beau Beau and Chippy, two dogs who continue to hold a special place in my heart. I absolutely love house-sitting for Beau Beau and Chippy, providing them with comfort and companionship whenever I’m back home. Their personalities are a perfect reminder of why I’m so passionate about what I do—every dog is unique, and they all deserve love, attention, and care tailored to their needs. Having lived with dogs my entire life, I understand the importance of building trust and creating a safe, positive environment where dogs feel comfortable and loved. Whether it’s providing extra care for a senior dog or engaging in playful activities with a younger dog, I know how to cater to their individual needs with kindness, expertise, and a lot of love.
