Dog Walkers in Old Hickory, TN

“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!”

About: Hi! My name is Sydney and I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy! I have grown up with cats and dogs and I have experience staying in other people’s homes to take care of their pets for an extended amount of time. I also have experience with walking dogs, whether they are well-trained or leash tuggers. I am able to be mindful of the boundaries of the pet owner and the pet themselves! Every animal deserves genuine love and quality care, and I am here to provide! I am currently not working as I am studying for the board exam to become a licensed physical therapist, so my schedule is very open! I am willing to work with your pet sitting needs! I am always attentive to the owner’s specific needs for their pet to make sure everyone is comfortable and cared for. I have a doctorate of physical therapy! I am a very trustworthy person as I take my patient’s health very seriously. I am here to care for all forms of life, big or small :)

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.

“Emory was on time and took my dog out for an efficient amount of time. She provided lots of fun photos and was trustworthy! will definitely let her walk my dog again!!!”

“Riley and Victoria have been great from day 1. They walk our puppy twice a day and always leave good, detailed notes about how each walk went. They are very patient with her as she is not great on a leash yet and easily excitable by other dogs. So happy I found them through Rover!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid and have pets of my own, so I understand the level of care and attention they deserve. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every pet like family. I'm happy to follow any routines or special instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

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.

About: I have 2 big dogs of my own as well as a cat. I’ve taken care of all of them since they were little puppies and kitties. One of my dogs is medicated and I’m happy to assist you with medications if needed. I have past experience walking/ looking after my neighbors, family’s and friends dogs and cats. I am currently a student so during the summer I am completely free. I prefer Monday- Friday but am happy to help on weekends. I don’t have a problem with early mornings or late nights. Whatever is convenient to you! I have an electric fence to conceal my two dogs. Although we have this, I never leave them outside without my eyesight on them. I try to keep my eye on them as much as possible to avoid anything that could go wrong/ prevent harm to your home.

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats of all kinds since I was a child! I truly love being around and taking care of animals. I am so excited to meet your fur babies!! The needs of your animals are of utmost importance and I would be more than happy to give them the care they need while you’re away or busy. I am a flight attendant, so I travel sometimes for days at a time. I want to show my love for animals by providing care to them on my off days! I also just adopted a three year old cat and she is loving her new life! I am willing to do same day visits any days that I am available. I am also available late nights and have great rates for drop ins and dog walking. Animals always seem to naturally be drawn to and trusting of me. I cannot wait to meet yours!

“Adazia was super responsive, reliable, and efficient! She communicated really well if/when there was a change in her ETA, it was clear that she prioritized keeping us in the loop and we absolutely felt that. Adazia followed instructions seamlessly and came in and out of the house safely. When we experienced a minor security system issue & the alarm went off, she was quick to inform me and remained calm given the circumstance. Will absolutely be using Adazia's services in the near future.”

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.

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.
