Dog Walking Merry Oaks

“Sydney did such a great job! Highly recommend!!”

“Keegan is exceptionally gifted with animals. She bonded immediately with our Sheltie Dani, whom she walked all summer. In fact he looked for her first thing when he got out of his crate. Having grown up on a ranch, she has a wealth of information about animals. This proved extremely helpful because at just over a year old, Dani is still a puppy. She conscientiously told us anything unusual that he did, e.g. yesterday he surreptitiously ate a small rock, typical puppy behavior. She came back everyday with stories of Dani’s antics (he loves to chase dragon flies!), showing how she lets animals into her heart. Keegan is extraordinary. We hate to see her go back to college in OK. We and Dani look forward to more walks when she comes home from school at the holidays!”

“Steve is one of the few people that can get my stubborn dog to walk further than just down the street. He has been very professional and detailed since I’ve been using his services. I would highly recommend using Steve if you’re looking for someone to look after your pet.”

About: My family has had dogs since I was very young, and I have had my own dog for 3 years now. She is a rescue, and I have had her since she was 6 months old. I work full-time in a bakery and am off most days around 1-3pm. I do have some free mornings as well and would be able to drop by with notice. I live close to East Nashville with my dog, Millie, and cat, Spoon! I live by all the good walking trails. I would love to schedule some dog-walking nearby so that i can take full advantage of all the great weather we are having.

About: Hi Mike here! I am a fellow dog dad that enjoys spending time with his dog and taking care of animals. I am the dad of a two-year old mixed breed named Dolly. My wife and I rescued Dolly when she was around 4 months. I have experience with the puppy blues and the never ending training that I experience with my dog. I also work on a farm from time to time working with large breed farm dogs and other farm animals. I have experience with all sizes of dogs. I am experienced with medicine in the form of pills, eye drops and oral syringes. I am a full-time dog dad and a part-time student and animal farmer. I work twice a week on a farm tending to sheep dogs, chickens, geese, goats etc. I am very cautious given my dog has a tendency to cause mischief. I am constantly on alert of any chewable items and certain toys in the home. My dog Dolly, has given my wife and I a couple of good scares and trips to the emergency vet. Learning from these experiences has taught me to be vigilant about my surroundings inside and outside the home.

“Ali was wonderful. She asked whether I wanted to do a meet and greet with the pups ahead of time, since I was going to be away for most of the time she was walking them. She also kindly helped clean one of my pups up when he had some digestive issues. She was kind, reliable and my pups were better off with her caring for them while I was away.”

About: I am a huge animal lover, with a cat of my own, but grew up with dogs and cats! I have experience taking care of dogs and cats and would love to meet your furry friend! I know how stressed I can get leaving my cat, so I want to make sure your animal is feeling loved and taken care of, just as I’d want my own to be! :) My schedule is very flexible at the moment and have plenty of time to care for your furry friend! Feel free to reach out and I’d love to help! I am a very detail oriented person and feel confident that I can meticulously follow any particulars or instructions in relation to your pet. I know how important routine is and would not want your pet to feel thrown off in any way!

About: I am an animal lover and have over 33 years of experience! I grew up having dogs and cats. I have had 3 of my own dogs and 2 cats, 4 of which were strays. I have trained all of my furry friends and even helped my Boston Terrier Mix have puppies. I have also cared for elderly pets and so I understand what it takes to give them the love and treatment they need in their more frail years. I currently have very flexible hours and can take care of your furry friend whenever you need me. I had a career in Nursing, but I am currently not practicing so I am free to help you out with your needs. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I have always had pets in my home, but take great pride in my home being well cared for and clean. I would ensure your home would be taken care of in the same way while looking after your pets. Whether it is my home or yours, or taking your pets for a walk, I will be respectful and ensure your pet and your home is well looked after.

“Ashley has been so attentive and available for our animals ! they love the days that their “friend” comes to visit and I love knowing they are well taken care of!”

About: I am a disabled Vet that loves pups and can handle all of their needs. I love the outdoors so your pup will constantly have an outlet. I will help your pup expend some of its energy while you're at work or whatever your day entails. I love small dogs, but I am also large and strong enough to handle your larger pups with ease. I grew up kenneling animals as a family owned business, so I definitely can handle anything thrown at me. I am very flexible with times and understand if you're running late or if you need to drop off your pup early. My phone is on at all times so if you need to call and check in that's fine. I also will FaceTime. Any questions feel free to ask me anything. I work solely from home and I work at my own time so being able to take your pup out for walks and play time is easy, and quite fun for me as well/ I have a big yard to play in and a huge park nearby as well. I also use apple tags on my pups. It is always better to be safe.

“Zach is very personable and took care of our Phoenix when we were away! Would certainly recommend.”

“Konnor is extremely patient, understanding and gentle with my pup and myself! She welcomes honey with a beautiful warm smile which absolutely made a difference! I will absolutely return! 10/10!”

“Claire is wonderful! She is very flexible when I need to change plans last minute. Lucy loves when she comes to take her for a walk and to play during the day.”

About: I’ve helped to care for dogs, cats, and more for friends and neighbors since childhood. My most valuable experience with dogs has come from volunteering at a dog rescue called Champs Chance in college. There I walked and handled dogs at events and transported them to vet appointments. It was there that I adopted my own dog, Mavis. I have handled dogs of many different breeds, demeanors, and sizes. I would love to provide the care that your pet deserves! I’m currently available during the week or on weekends to help out with your pet! Just let me know how I can help and I’ll be there! I am happy to provide some exercise and extra love to your pet(s)! I have some experience training dogs in the basics and am continuing to learn more, so I can help them to learn their leash manners if needed.

About: I'm a 10 year old cat mom and a dog auntie! I have taken care of both dogs and cats for years. I am familiar with giving animals, specifically cats, medicine (my cat has had urinary issues throughout the years) and I LOVE when my friends ask me to watch/play/walk their sweet doggies. I am currently working part time so my availability is very flexible. I work Wednesdays and Thursdays and have majority of the days open the remainder of the week. I respect boundaries and any specific notes that you have for your animals. They are a part of the family so when I enter the home I want them to feel safe and loved.

“Torey was fantastic! My wife and I were very anxious to leave our dog home for a two-week trip he couldn't join, but Torey put us right at ease with two meet-and-greets and plenty of updates and pictures. She was also very reachable through the app, which helped us feel comfortable being away. And she even watered our plants for us! Our dog and home were in great condition when we got back, and we're so grateful to Torey for making this as easy as possible for us. We definitely recommend her and will be reaching out next time we need a Rover!”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life so I love dogs (and even cats.) I professionally started walking dogs in college when I had extra time and developed a love for hanging out with animals and helping others when they can’t. I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I have open availability to spend time with your furry friends! I would love to help someone out where I can. I will always love on your animals the way they like to be loved, whether that be just sitting with them or taking them on a long walk in the neighborhood.

“Savana was great! She was able to come same day that I booked and took my girls on a 30 minute walk. She sent photos and her communication with updates was appreciated. We would love to book with her again. Thank you!”

Alexis H.

“Taylor is wonderful to work with. She’s great with dogs—and people too. She’s always right on time and very conscientious of a household’s circumstances (e.g., if kiddos are sleeping, she’ll text instead of knocking or using doorbell). Our dog was nervous the first time a new person took her for a walk, but after a couple of days, she would excitedly prance out the door on her leash when Taylor arrived.”

About: I have lived/taken care of animals my whole life. Have taken care of dogs,cats,bunnies,lizards. I have two dogs at home that I care for and have trained. I work at a coffee shop in the morning/afternoons during the week but after noon my days are pretty open and am usually available anytime after that. I have a fenced in backyard and take my dogs on a walk 1-2 times a day. I follow whatever instructions are given and make sure the house is clean before leaving. When taking care of dogs will make sure to take them out every couple hrs.
