Dog Walkers in Mount Vernon, TN

About: I have always been able to communicate and interact with animals much easier than i have with people, it comes more naturally to me. The first thing that my closest friends and family say when introducing me to anyone, especially if they have pets, is that i’m great with animals. it fits in perfectly, i work at part time job at a clothing store but my shifts are only typically four hours, and i get off work anytime between 4-6 so right around dinner time. i have an open yard that my dog can roam freely whenever we let her out, she tends to stay within 10 yards of our front doorstep so we do not keep her on a leash. however, should i be taking care of a dog and it does need to be on a leash when being let out, that is no problem at all.

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

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, I ALWAYS give 110% when taking care of someone’s fur children! Pets are an important part of our lives! I have puppy training experience and love meeting and playing with new puppies! My own dog is diabetic and requires daily injections so I am very comfortable caring for senior and medically complex dogs. Open communication is important to me so we both know what to expect and I love sharing my time with your pets and sending photos so you know how much fun we are having! I have full time availability Monday through Friday and am available on the weekends as needed. I am excited to spend a lot of time throughout the week with pets! My chocolate Labrador retriever Ollie was diabetic. He received 26mL of insulin 2x a day along in the scruff of his neck with his food needing to be watered down due to it being a choking hazard. I would take care of ANY pet like I took care of him. I will stop in to check on your pets, play with them to get their energy out, snuggle with them, and make sure they have everything they need including walks, food, water, treats, play time, and medication.

“Breana was accommodating and very sweet with my pups!”

About: I have taken care of animals for nearly all my life. I love them all, no matter shape, size or behavior! I have a lot of patience and would love to help with your fur babies. I am about to start graduate school but have about 2 months of complete free time. I will be dedicating my time to helping with the fur babies in my area! I do prefer to take care of pets in their respective homes because I have a cat in my home, but I can do dogs depending on how long the commitment is . I live in an apartment with a large dog park and green space, close to a park that is great for long walks.

About: I am a life long pet owner who loves to watch my friend’s and family’s pets when they’re in need. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and bunnies, including fostering a cat for a friend for a few months while she was away. I am a fairly active person, so I like to go on long walks and play with very energetic animals, but I can also appreciate those who just like company or want their own space. Learning the habits, needs, and quirks of each animal is my favorite part of the job, so I can be sure your animal will get the exact kind of care they need to be happy while you’re away😊 I currently have an open schedule so I will have all the time in the world to hang out with your fur children! The only days that are busy for me are Sundays, but I will still have some time available. I will be going back to work after the new year and will be working second shift, so will have the majority of the day available then as well! I like to stick to the routines that your animals are already used to following as to reduce anxiety as much as possible while you’re away! I definitely think it’s important to give extra love and attention to show that I am a friend and am there to take care of them.

About: Growing up, I always had and cared for dogs. Since beginning and moving to college, I miss the love and companionship my pets at home provided. I recently worked at a doggy care and grooming business in Knoxville, TN over the summer. I am unable to get a dog of my own right now, so I would love to care for and play with your furry friends! I have a very open schedule & will find a way to work your pet into my day. I am available to dog walk, house sit, and dog sit around the clock most days of the week. Please contact me & I will try my best to work you fury friend into my schedule! :) I live in a gated and spacious apartment complex with plenty of room to walk your dog! Please provide a leash so I can ensure their safety!

About: Does your dog need some more consistent exercise? Or maybe additional potty breaks while you are away from home? If so, I'd love to help! I am an animal lover, and I currently have one dog and two cats of my own. I also own and care for a horse, which means I'm not afraid to handle big dogs! I love to walk, and I can go at whatever pace is best for your fur baby. I look forward to hearing from you! I currently work part-time Monday through Wednesday and have plenty of flexibility the rest of the week. Reach out to me, and I'm sure I can make something work! I would love to take the time and get your dog out on a nice walk or a leisurely potty break! I would provide updates and photos for you so you know exactly how your pup is doing.

I am currently in esthetician school part time, I have all the time to play with & make sure your pup is happy and healthy!!! I follow all instructions and notes from clients intently to ensure a positive, and safe experience in the clients home and for their fur baby!!!

About: I've had numerous animals since I was 10 years old. These include dogs, cats, and birds. I have also watched neighbors, friends, and families' pets. I have a flexible schedule and can watch your puppy or come by and check on your kitty at times which are convenient for you. I have 3 animals in my own home, and it may be more beneficial for me to watch your pet in your own home. My home is still an option as needed though.

About: Vacations shouldn't just be for the pet parents, the pets should get a new fun experience too. This is why I strive to keep in step with your pet's routines whilst also adding some fun enrichment, ample physical activities, and extra helpings of love and attention. In addition to walks; if your dog is a social butterfly, like me, and they frequent the dog parks; let's go! I have a vehicle built for pet field trips/adventures! I have a gift for helping injured or sick animals recover as well , I just haven't had the opportunity to care for a special needs dog yet. That being said, I am willing to learn and follow your routines for them. I am very dedicated to learning more pet care skills. I even rehabbed an injured squirrel for about a year until she returned to the wild. So, I am skilled in helping pets that may need extra help/care or medical issues that require a little more attention. I am also a Licensed Massage and Cupping Therapist, though I am not certified specifically in pet massage, when I do give a dog a massage....They LOVE it! I am also willing to care for pets other than dogs or cats; within reason of course....not sure I am equipped for Lions, Tigers, or Bears... OH MY! So, reach out let's set up a meet & greet; I would love to come out and meet you and your pets to see if we are a good fit! I have most days free. I occasionally do some pick-up work on some nights here and there, however, it would not be for a great deal of hours, and I am able to get home (or to your pets) at a decent time on those evenings. I do prefer to meet both you and your pets first, before taking on a care request, to assess safety for myself and the pet as well as understanding their surroundings. This allows me and you to evaluate if we are a good fit. I believe this is the first step in creating a solid foundation for a safe and fun experience for all involved. Especially, until your pet(s) and I get to know each other better, I would say I am hypervigilant in the beginning; not just for safety precautions but also to understand their routines, needs, communication styles, learning styles, training levels, etc... I am at their side anytime we go out. Even if you have a fenced in backyard I will either be out there playing with them and helping them get in some physical activity or I watch them closely from a window or door. As we learn more about each other, I take great care in developing solid communication with your pet so that they can understand and respond well. The more "simpatíca" we are, the more trust is built, the better responds to commands, which in turn strengthen that foundation of safety. Beyond the pet safety, If I am house sitting for you, I strive to keep your home safe and clean. I will respect and protect your home as if it were mine. Even If I am not house sitting and only doing drop-ins or walks. I will stay observant and keep your home safe as well; let you know if anything seems amiss, grab your mail so no one knows you aren't at home, rotate which rooms lights are on in your house, etc... A safe environment means a safe pet! I am also good at communicating with the pet parents throughout my booked care time via pictures, videos, texts, and calls. My goal is to make sure no pet parents even have to wonder how their pet is doing. I prefer to keep you in the loop so it's not you having to reach out to me. Communication is key for creating the safest most comfortable environment for any pet.

“Madason has done a great job walking my pups for the past 2 weeks. She was very flexible with timings, patient and caring for my older, slower dog Colonel. I would highly recommend her!”
