Dog Walking New Franklin

About: I have over 5 years of pet-sitting experience and have had dogs my entire life, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. What sets me apart is my commitment to providing personalized care and maintaining each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. In addition to pet sitting, I occasionally volunteer at a puppy nursery that cares for rescued mother dogs and their newborn puppies. This experience has given me additional exposure to caring for young puppies, monitoring their needs, and helping provide a safe and nurturing environment during an important stage of their development. I am comfortable caring for multiple pets, administering basic medications if needed, and providing extra patience and attention to puppies, senior pets, and animals with specific routines. Whether a pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having companionship throughout the day, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to provide reliable, attentive care while keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. I am currently taking online classes over the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. My priority is always providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for pets. I live on 12 acres in a quiet setting and have one small, very friendly Cocker Spaniel. While my yard is not fenced, pets are always supervised outdoors and can be kept on long leads for safe exercise and exploration when appropriate. I never allow pets off-leash unless specifically instructed by the owner and it is safe to do so. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while keeping their environment clean and secure. I understand that trust is important when someone is caring for a beloved pet, so I maintain open communication and provide regular updates and photos. I also pay close attention to each pet's behavior and needs to ensure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout my time with them.

About: I am a band director August-May so being a teacher is my main job. Although I love it, I work for Rover as a summer funds supplement. I’ve held temporary jobs that had little to no personal meaning but getting the opportunity to spend time caring for animals seems to give it a bit more of a purpose, which I enjoy. Looking forward to meeting your fur family! My daily routine is very relaxed in the summer because I’m off as a teacher. My family is home most days other than the occasional summer outing. We have 4.5’ fenced in big yard that will allow your dog to run freely. We also live in a quiet neighborhood and have the ability to go on leashed walks whenever we like.

“Jennifer was great with Merle! She was available right away when I found out I needed a dog walker and responded within minutes. She was literally there within an hour. I really appreciate her being accommodating and taking my furbaby for a walk on such short notice. He had a great time and she sent me cute pictures of him on campus :)”

About: I’m a HUGE animal lover and have experience taking care of all sorts of animals, from dogs, to cats, spiders, bunnies, frogs, and more! I have six cats of my own and foster medically fragile/behaviorally challenged cats from the Humane Society. It brings me so much joy when I see a cat truly start to thrive again. Because of how long I’ve been caring for animals, I’m experienced in providing a wide variety of care. Your puppy is still crate training? I can help! Your senior four-legged friend needs medication? I can do it! Your socially awkward pet doesn’t like people? That’s okay! You have an animal that most people don’t know how to care for? I guarantee you that I do. Working with animals is such a fulfilling part of my life and that’s why I’ve been doing it so long! **Rover takes a huge percentage of earnings for sitters! Therefore, I request that we use Venmo or another payment method instead of Rover! I work an incredibly flexible job, allowing me to spend quality time with your pets while you’re away. I work with my clients and around their schedules, making pet care as stress-free as possible! I usually care for pets in my client’s home, as my home is a bit of a zoo. I work hard to ensure we have trust and boundaries established so we both feel comfortable! One of the ways I do that is by doing a meet n greet beforehand. I love to get to know the pet parents and meet the pets before I start sitting.

About: I am a professional young adult who has loved dogs my entire life. I walked friend's dogs all four years of high school and have a large dog of my own who I train and care for. As a college student, I currently have a very laid back summer schedule and have plenty of time to care for your pet during the weekdays and weekends! I love spending time outdoors and would love to take your dogs on long walks, provide them water, and spoil them with love and treats.

About: I have taken care of many animals in my lifetime weather it being my neighbors or the animals at my jobs. I am very reliable with animals, and I have experience because I have worked at a dog boarding place for 2 years! At this moment my availability is some what I work at a restaurant so that could interfere if it’s an earlier notice I’ll be able to fit you in my schedule easier! From past experiences I have gotten a list of chores that needs to be done for the animals (example: walking times, feeding times, playing time, etc).

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old. Ive spent my childhood and adulthood having them around to a point were life is not the same if they are not around. I am a responsible pet owner who puts the care of these innocent souls a priority 100% of the time. A dog doesnt have to wiggle its tail to fit into my space or schedule. Its more of a blend. Thats how love flows. I work remotely 2 days a week and 2 days at the office but my schedule is flexible. I treat any dog as if it my own. I see no differences. Their love is unconditional, and so its mine. During the time together, we are.

“Karisa did a great job of taking case of my 8 month old puppy. She gave her walks and did drop in visits.”

About: Hi! I’m a huuuuuuge animal lover, especially dogs. I have had dogs my entire life and am very accustomed to all kinds of different doggy personalities (and love em all!) I do respect boundaries though, so if (for example) you do not want you doggie eating table scraps I will give them none at all. If you don’t mind, great, too! I have experience caring for a variety of animals; including treating wounds, feeding, basic grooming, walks and basic puppy training (going potty, sit etc) Message me! i love animals so i can make time for this “side hustle” any time! i have an open and / or flexible schedule most days vigilante supervision, attention to owners instructions, keeping animals either fenced or in a harness. being mindful of some of the risks involved in certain scenarios.

“Truly the sweetest! She was our boys first walker and we were so happy with her! He loved her! Photos and updates! Will definitely be using Bree again! ☺️”

About: I love all animals and can’t wait to hear about or meet your furry family member . Allow me to look after your beloved pets, plants, home and many other things. If you need to be out of town or just need a little extra help with a high energy pet. Check my schedule and see if my services align with what you’re looking for. I have a few furry felines and dogs that I already help take care of.. I have cared for small to medium size dogs in the past and grew up with a house full of pets. Including but not limited to dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, foul/birds, and minimal farm animals. However, every fur buddy or man’s best friend is unique. Let’s communicate on the needs or preferences for your special furry family member and see if I can accommodate. I appreciate your careful consideration. I can be flexible on scheduling and accommodations. Such as pick up/drop off, boarding, full day care, in home care, walks, vet visits and much more. Please be considerate of my time and cancellations and I will do the same respect. Thank you so much! I can’t think of any thing more wonderfully rewarding than to help you care for your furry loved ones. I currently am only caring for a few furry felines and small/medium dogs for close family. I’m looking to expand and see the rest of MidMo and its pet lovers community. Thank you for all your consideration and shares! Fenced in yard.
