Dog Walking Oakridge

About: Hi! My name is Katherine, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’m a Certified Veterinary Assistant with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with animals. Because of my veterinary training, I’m able to provide a level of care that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I understand animal behavior, health, and safety, which helps me keep pets comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. My experience includes: • Veterinary clinic experience • Pet boarding & daycare care • Shelter volunteering • Caring for puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets • Administering medications when needed • Recognizing early signs of illness or distress I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, medication, or just a calm companion, I adjust my care to their individual needs. When your pet is with me, you can expect: ✔ Lots of love and attention ✔ Frequent updates and photos ✔ Safe handling from someone with veterinary training ✔ Reliable and responsible care I understand how important pets are—they’re family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for, and that you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I also understand that quality pet care can get expensive, so I’m always willing to discuss pricing and work with you when possible to find something that fits your needs and budget. 🐾 I look forward to meeting you and your pet! 🐶🐱 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a online college student with a flexible schedule and a background in veterinary care, I am able to dedicate focused time to each pet I care for. I structure my day around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins to ensure every pet receives consistent attention and care. Because animals have always been a big part of my life, spending time caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. As a Certified Veterinary Assistant, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any medical needs so I can provide consistent care while their owner is away. I closely monitor pets for signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and ensure they are always in a safe environment. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine, providing plenty of attention, and keeping their space clean, calm, and secure.

“Tyler is great! She is very responsive and you can tell she is an animal lover! She walked my dog, sent pics, and communicated with me before and after the walk. I will definitely use her again and fully recommend her!”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals. At one point, my family had 25 dogs! These days, I share my home with two incredible dogs: Porkchop, a sweet and loving companion, and Applesauce, my energetic sidekick. In Tennessee I work from home and able to spend my time caring for your pup. In my professional life (when I travel to California), I’m a studio teacher, working with kids on television and movie sets, though I previously taught kindergarten and third grade. I absolutely adore animals and dream of starting my own rescue one day. Until then, I enjoy offering a safe and loving space for pets through dog sitting, especially during breaks between my show seasons. Your furry family members will be treated like my own! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I work from home with a flexible schedule. I can easily adjust my day to provide attention, walks, meals, and playtime for pets, ensuring they are comfortable and cared for. This flexibility allows me to give them plenty of love and care without feeling rushed. I care for pets by creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. In my home, I provide plenty of attention, regular walks, and playtime, as well as a cozy space for them to relax. It is important that your pet be up to date on vaccines and flea/tick medication to ensure the safety of all animals in my care. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions, maintain the pet’s routine, and ensure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. Their well-being and happiness are always my top priorities.

About: My approach to pet care is rooted in patience, genuine love, and treating every dog as a valued member of the family. With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs and puppies, I deeply understand that pets require more than just basic needs. They thrive on love, reliable structure, and a comfortable place to stay while you are away. My goal is simple: to give pet parents complete peace of mind during vacations or work trips, knowing their animal is in safe and genuinely loving hands. I am excited to shower your beloved companion with care and make a new connection. I am a stay at home mom so I would be able to adjust to almost any schedule. I would be able to give one on one care to your special pup! I would love your dog to be able to make a comfortable living space. We have a small fenced in yard to play and potty breaks, but I am very comfortable with leash walking for bathroom breaks and exercise. We are able to use a crate if needed for night time, I also don’t mind a dog sleeping on our couch for added comfort if that’s what the dog is comfortable with. I truly want it to be a specialized and adjustable experience to whatever the fur baby needs.

About: I have taken care of dogs and pets since I was a teenager. My friends relieve on me to watch their dog while they travel. I make sure they are happy, fed ans taken care of as it they were my children I currently work a part-time job from home, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pups. I’m mostly available in the mornings and evenings, but I have a flexible schedule and can work around your needs. I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love. In my home, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I follow their feeding schedules, provide fresh water, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention. I have a fenced yard.

“Quick responses and she even cleaned up when my pup had an accident in the kennel. I will definitely be using Tammy again.”

“Leanna really has a heart for animals, and people too! She was highly communicative and flexible about walk dates and times. My dog and I are very thankful for her help!”

About: I’ve had many pets throughout my life, so I understand their needs and personalities. I’ve also spent a lot of time dog sitting and walking for friends and neighbors, making sure every pet gets plenty of love and attention. Your dog will be in caring and experienced hands with me! I’m a last year college student so between my classes can be there to play with your pets and love on them as needed. I do not provide care in my home but will follow clear instruction given to me by owners when providing care within their home! I will respect each owner.

About: I have had both dogs and cats my entire life and currently have both in my home. I would love to meet all of your furry friends! I am currently on a 12 week leave from work so I have plenty of time on my hands to ensure the best care for your pets. I have no problem with coming to your home to care for your pets, but if needed, my home is always open to any pets in need.

About: I volunteered at an animal shelter for 2 years with all different breeds and sizes of dogs. I had 2 dogs growing up who I took care of my whole life. Up until recently putting them down. I got my own puppy and grew an even stronger love for animals. I started working at a doggy daycare where we also have fosters and have been working there now 2 years I work most weekdays at the daycare- but am able to work around schedules to provide for your fur baby’s and make sure they are comfortable, well fed, and exercised according to their specific needs! I prefer not to crate- rather have more freedom and play through the day. Throwing a ball outside, taking a walk, maybe some enrichment activities which are good for the mind and tiring

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years, and it’s something I truly love. When I lived in Florida for about 9 years, I regularly pet sat for families, including overnight and extended stays of up to a month, as well as drop-in visits for walks and playtime. I genuinely connect with the animals I care for—I still remember and think about the dogs I’ve watched over the years. I believe the Lord created animals with love and purpose, and caring for them is something He has placed on my heart. I treat every pet like they are my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I also have experience with basic training, including potty training, leash walking, and teaching dogs to sit and wait. What sets me apart is the attention, patience, and heart I bring into this work—I don’t just watch pets, I spend quality time with them so they feel comfortable and secure. I truly love caring for pets and enjoy getting to know each pet and their unique needs. I currently work Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 AM–3:00 PM in Nolensville, so I have more limited availability during those hours. I’m happy to work with families around my schedule to provide their pets with loving and dependable care.I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate feeding times, walks, playtime, and overnight care as needed. Whether it’s regular drop in visits or extended stays, I prioritize consistency, reliability, and being fully present to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide care exclusively in my clients homes so pets can remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. I follow each owners instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, routines, medication, if needed, and any specific preferences or habits the pet has. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while maintaining their normal routine my goal is to keep them happy, safe, and as stress-free as possible, while their owners are away.

About: I've been helping care for friends' dogs on and off for several years through drop-in visits and daily care. My experience includes feeding, providing fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. As an active person who enjoys walking and running, I understand the importance of exercise and mental stimulation for dogs. I treat every pet with patience, attention, and affection, and I strive to provide dependable care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, I have availability throughout the day for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I'm active and enjoy spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who need exercise and attention. I strive to be dependable, communicative, and accommodating to each pet's unique routine and needs. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each owner's care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and household rules. I provide a calm, loving environment and pay close attention to each pet's behavior and well-being. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

About: Hello! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 16 and have experience with all breeds and sizes. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend! At present, I have full availability and am able to accommodate check-in visits on weekdays as well as select weekends! I would love to help you out I currently have a friendly Golden Doodle and a sociable cat, both of whom love meeting new friends! I’m happy to follow any care instructions you provide to ensure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while visiting my home.

About: My wife Diana and I run the Barksville Pet Waggin here in Clarksville. We have been growing our pet/home sitting business steadily for the last 15 years. We moved from Texas 4 years ago. Before that we served as pet sitters in the Austin, TX area for 3 years. Prior to moving to the Austin area, we had numerous clients throughout El Paso and Las Cruces, NM. We have experience caring for animals of all sizes, varieties and ages, administering pet medication including shots, walks, and caring for animals with special needs. We have significant experience with older animals who need special care. We also have experience dealing with larger dog breeds who can be a challenge to care for or walk. We have cared for a wide variety of animals in the past including dogs, cats, birds, lizards, goats, chickens, geese, horses and even an alpaca!! When away we’ll make sure that your fur-children have lots of cuddles and playtime. We enjoy helping fur babies get the exercise they need to stay happy and healthy until mommy or daddy return. We look forward to meeting all the loving pets and pet parents that Clarksville has to offer. We share pet sitting jobs as that way we can have more availability to care for your pets at different times. I am now doing pet care full time as my only job. We are currently offering overnight pet sitting and drop-in visits and/or walks, anytime you need. We do our best to accommodate and match you and your pet's needs. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. We have quite a few regular clients and they would be happy to give you references for us at any time, just ask. We look forward to hearing from you and setting up a meet and greet to meet your fur babies!! I am a full time pet sitting professional. My wife works but helps out and we often share overnight duties. Having two of us does often help with flexibility in scheduling. We also do have a team of background checked and trusted pet sitters who work for us who help fill in the schedule when we can’t. These sitters are trained, insured and supervised by us. You will get the same Barksville Pet Waggin quality from all of our sitters and you will know, meet and approve in advance of who will be in your home if we are unable to do your sitting. You will know BEFORE you book if we are not available. Anyone booking for a holiday period must pay one month in advance and these reservations are non refundable. Half of the reservation amount can be credited towards a future booking. ** If you are booking an overnight pet sitting we do require an actual bed to sleep in. An air mattress in the living room or couch surfing is not going to work for us. If you want older more reliable people you get older bad backs that require a real bed. If you would like care in our home we could take small dogs there. We have a fenced yard and one small dog of our own. Diana’s mom is home full time so pups would have supervision all day.

About: What truly sets me apart is not just my love for dogs, but the hands-on experience I have caring for a wide range of breeds and personalities. I currently have three dogs of my own a sweet 8-year-old Chihuahua-Yorkie mix who is our spoiled little baby, a very energetic Shih Tzu who keeps me on my toes, and a gentle giant of a German Shepherd who’s just a big cuddly lovebug. Because of them, I have real-life experience managing everything from small, senior pups to large, high-energy breeds. I’m especially patient with hyper dogs I know how to keep them active, happy, and well-behaved. Whether it’s caring for older dogs who need extra love or keeping up with pups who never seem to run out of energy, I genuinely enjoy every moment of it. I treat every dog like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring and capable hands! I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which means I get to choose the shifts that work best for me. This allows me to easily plan around pet sitting needs. As long as I’m given a little notice, I can adjust my work hours to fit your schedule whether that’s for regular check-ins, overnight care, or last-minute plans. You can feel confident that your pet will get the attention and care they deserve without any conflicts. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it by using leashes and taking pets on regular walks around my neighborhood or to nearby parks. I enjoy being active and love spending time outdoors with the dogs, giving them plenty of exercise and enrichment. My own dogs are very friendly and would love the extra company, which helps create a warm and welcoming environment for any visiting pets. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for whether they’re staying in my home or I'm visiting them in theirs.

“Andrea is very responsive and attentive! She was very patient with our new pup as she gets settled into our home! Highly recommend Andrea!”

About: My wife and I did pet sitting in Virginia for a little over 3 years before moving to Tennessee. Our pet parents loved us and recommended us highly. We have never met a dog or cat that didn't like us and some even called my wife the dog whisperer because she has a very calming demeanor. We have taken care of dogs from toy poodles to boxers (3 boxers at one time for the weekend). We love to play and snuggle and we will treat them like they are our own. I work nights but my wife is a stay at home grandmother and between us we have plenty of time to give your dog(s) or cat(s) the special time they need and we would love the chance to get to know yours. I am home full time so I have plenty of time to love on your pet(s) except when I have to go to other clients homes to love on theirs. I have a fenced in yard and take them out regularly and I go out with them to make sure they are safe and secure.

About: I adopted Timber when he was six month old in 2012 from a family who was unable to care for him due to his high energy levels and special dietary needs. I brought him home and had to potty train, obedience train, get him over separation anxiety, and socialize him all from scratch. I specialize in dogs that can be a handful, but of course I'm open to caring for any kind of furry friend! I love all animals and would the love the opportunity to care for yours! Thank You!
