Dog Walking Old Hickory

“Perfect!”

Jordan F.

“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!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Ashley... we were in town on vacation and she took care of our little dogs perfectly! She was caring, timely, trustworthy and the dogs enjoyed her visits and being walked in our absence..... highly recommend and will reach out to her again next time we're in Nashville! Thx again Ashley!”

“I had a fantastic experience with Brooke through Rover. She was incredibly responsive and even accommodated a same-day booking, which was a huge help. She bonded quickly with my dogs and made us feel completely at ease. Her professionalism and clear communication stood out from start to finish. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy care for their pet.”

“Shelby was incredibly thorough and professional while booking and during the walk. She sent a few photos and made sure that we knew that Nikita was well cared for. 100% would contact her again!”

About: I've been pet sitting since high school. I looked after the neighborhood pets until I graduated. I've been sitting in Tennessee since I moved here in 2011. I've also fostered dogs through various rescues. I'm a school teacher so I'm free most evenings and weekends. Once summer starts I'll be more flexible. I have a dog so I can only provide drop ins. I offer drop in visits for your pet. I'll be able to take them for walks and administer meds or refresh food and water for your pet.

About: I treat every dog like family, giving them lots of love, patience, playtime, and cuddles. Comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets needing extra attention. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work remotely while job searching, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, attention, and companionship. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine, giving love, walks, and attention. I also have a gentle senior dog and fenced yard for safe socializing.

About: Hi there! My name is Hayley, and caring for dogs has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’m a full-time mom and dog lover, and I share my home with my own four pups — so your dog will always feel like part of the family here. Dogs in my care are treated just like my own: loved, spoiled, and given plenty of play, structure, and comfort. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pup behind, whether it’s just for the day or for a longer trip. My goal is to make the experience as smooth as possible for both you and your dog. You’ll always receive daily updates with 3–5 photos, and I’m happy to share how their day is going so you feel completely at ease. Services I Provide in my home: 🐾 Boarding (Overnight Stays): • Cozy, family-style environment with space to play and rest. • Dogs are not left alone for long stretches — they’re part of the daily routine with me and my family. • I welcome 6–10 dogs per day, which means plenty of playmates, but I carefully manage group sizes for safety and comfort. • Nights are flexible: dogs may sleep in crates (if that’s their routine), on a dog bed, or snuggled up wherever they’re most comfortable. Free-roaming spaces are limited due to safety and health but available! 🐾 Daycare: • Drop your pup off for a fun-filled day of play, potty breaks, and rest. • Outdoor playtime in secure spaces, weather permitting, and indoor playtime with toys and friends. • Nap/Cool down breaks to ensure dogs don’t get overstimulated. 🐾 Dog Walks (Add-On Service for boarding as well): • For well-leash-trained dogs only. • Neighborhood stroll: $5/per day (boarding, extra fee) • Park adventure: $10/per day (boarding, extra fee) Services I provide in your home: 🐾 Drop-In Services: • Visits are 15-60 minutes, depending on individual needs • Photos + report card provided each visit • Prices vary based on number of pets and responsibilities 🐶 Dogs: potty breaks, feeding, play time (as needed) 🐱 Cats: feeding and litter box cleaning, play time if needed. ***Price varies depending on number of cats and litter boxes ***Cat drop-ins typically last 10-20 minutes unless discussed prior ***aggressive cats will result in care ending early and a cancellation fee Why Book With Me • I’m CPR/First Aid certified for pets. • Experienced with seniors, anxious pups, medication needs, and high-energy breeds. • Dogs get personalized care — no “one size fits all.” I follow their routines as closely as possible and adjust where necessary to provide the most comfort for your furry family member. • Lots of love, patience, and communication along the way. 🏠Crate Time Policy • Dogs are crated according to their normal routine at home, or if it is in the best interest of their safety and comfort. • No dog will be crated longer than 4–6 hours at a time, with the exception of overnight. Crate time may be used for: • Rest breaks after active play to avoid over stimulation • Meal times (to ensure each dog eats undisturbed) • Safety during transitions, pick-ups/drop-offs, or if weather prevents outdoor play • When I leave my home or at my discretion based on where the dog is most comfortable and safe. 🐕 Puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs may have differing crate intervals to match their comfort and training level. 🐕Parents should provide a crate their dog is comfortable with (or one will be provided if discussed prior). Dogs should already be familiar with crating prior to their stay (unless discussed previously) 🐕Dogs showing extreme crate anxiety will be accommodated with alternative safe rest areas when possible. This will be based on my experience and assessment with the dog. I will discuss with the parents for full transparency before proceeding with any changes in care. ✨ Please note: Your dog’s health and safety is always my top priority. Every dog is unique and comes with individual needs. Based on my experience and ongoing assessment, I will create and follow the care plan that best supports your dog’s comfort, well-being, and happiness during their stay.

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule to make sure pets get the time, attention, and exercise they need.

About: I'm a softie for a dog nuzzle and I have lots of time to dedicate to your pooch. Does your dog need a walk? So do I. It's a lot more fun with a dog! I work from home on my own schedule, so my days are pretty open. I am able to work around any schedule, any time of the day. Give me instructions on how you care for your pet and I will strive to make the transition as seamless as possible. Do you mix wet and dry food? Do they get a cuddle after eating? Whatever your routine is, I will accommodate.

“So appreciative of the time & attention Cassandra gave to my boys. It was a blessing!”

Patricia A.

“Jennifer was wonderful! Pixel sometimes takes a little while to warm up to new people and he took to her like she was a long lost friend! We will definitely be using her again!”

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: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a kid. I love taking care of these awesome little buds! I’ve taken care of and been around all sorts of dog breeds, including a few years of fostering dogs that needed some special love to make them feel safe and comfortable. I currently work part time from home, mostly doing video editing on my computer. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to make time for watching over furry friends when they need it the most. I also live with my cousin, who is around a lot of the time and loves it when friends come to visit! Dogs are welcome to roam the house, and I am happy to crate your pets, if that is desired. Any pets I look after will get an enormous amount of attention, because I just won’t be able to help myself!
