Dog Walkers in Old Hickory, TN

About: No dog is the same, all have different personalities much like people. I like to take the time to learn and educate myself with the different ways dogs may react to a new care taker. I like to give the dogs/cats the space and time to trust me and I will always be there with open arms, happily. I work from home and for myself, my schedule will be open to whatever needs you and your fur babies need whether it’s before the sun rises or after it’s sets. Animals are like kids, you don’t want to trust just anyone with them. I promise to take care of your pet as I would my own, with love, care and a little too much attention!!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid taking care of our family dogs. In college and post college I took a leadership role in co-paw-renting my roommates dogs and was very involved in every aspect of care and training. I got my dog Rocco in 2020 and got my dog Lenny in 2022. I have socialized and trained them, taking them to dog parks and other adventures regularly. I’m currently working part time (from home) building a small business so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I live for my 2, and they love meeting new friends! I can be flexible, if you’d prefer alone time for your pup I can walk them, and if you want them to play I can let them play, just let me know! I also do some light training, basic commands as well as on-leash/walking training. I have a fenced yard and two of the friendliest boys ever here to help keep your pups company should they want to come play! I can come to you, or bring yours to me! I am very detail oriented so don’t worry if you have a list of instructions for me to follow, and I’ll ensure your pup gets the attention they need!

About: I love animals of all size and breeds, including yours! I'll be more than happy to take care of your fur babies while you are away from home. They will be well-fed and loved with accommodations being met as needed. I know how to administer medication as needed, so you won't need to worry about your fur baby not receiving anything while you are gone. I am currently working full-time from 6AM till 2:30PM Monday thru Friday. I may be able to compromise for the morning routine, but I can 100% say that I will be available all afternoons and evenings. Weekends are free days for me so I will be available at all hours of the day. I live in small rental with two cats and a medium sized dog so I will be unable to care for pets in my home.

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my combination of specialized skills extensive experience and passion for Animal Care! Some of the key factors highlighting my unique capabilities include puppy training, senior pet care, personalized attention, and putting Safety First, all of which have been enhanced with taking care of my own 2 cavapoo puppies, Duchess and Coco. I currently a full-time graduate student obtaining my Master's of Public Policy. Even with this school schedule, I am able to have flexibility on the weekends and early afternoons till the evening during the week. Caring for pets, whether in my own home or a client's home, is a rewarding and fulfilling experience that requires plenty of attention of detail, compassion, and a bit of enthusiasm! Understanding a pet's unique needs based on their species, breed, age, and personality can reduce anxiety for the pet and pet owner while they are away. Creating a safe, happy, and pleasant environment is paramount when caring for pets. This includes securing hazardous items, like cleaning supplies or small objects they could swallow.

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: Hello future friend, I'm a lifelong animal lover with over eleven years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Whether it's energetic walks, cozy coach cuddle sessions, or keeping up with special diet and medications, I treat every pet like family. I don't believe in one-size fits all care. I take time to learn each pet's quirks (😊 MHA), routines, and favorite behind the ear/ belly rub spots. You'll get regular updates, photos, and peace if mind knowing your fur baby is happy and safe. As a full-time remote worker, I have the flexibility to build my schedule and pets are never left alone for long stretches. My day starts early, which means morning walks and feeding fit naturally into my routine. Afternoon and evenings are reserved for walks, playtime, cuddles, and ensuring they feel safe and loved before bedtime Whether it's a quick drop-in or full day sitting, I make sure every pet gets the attention they deserve. I treat every home and pet with the same level of care I'd want for my own. I know how important it is for both pet and owners to feel confident. I'll go Plus Ultra and keep open lines of communication with regular updates with photos and notes. You provide any instructions or guidelines for your fur baby (i.e. feeding schedule, medication or walk routines) and I'll follow all instructions to the letter. I want to be the best sidekick possible. So book with me and your fur baby will meet their second best friend (after you of course)!!

I prioritize structure, comfort, and clear communication so you can feel confident your dog is in reliable hands. Pet care fits smoothly into my day — I provide scheduled walks, playtime, and attention while keeping routines consistent. Puppies, seniors, or special-needs dogs all get the extra care they need. I follow your dog’s routine for walks, play, meals, and rest, whether in your home or mine. Puppies and seniors get extra care, and every pet gets a safe, happy, and loving environment while you’re away.

My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I provide attentive companionship and individualized care based on each pet’s routine and personality. I understand that time away from their owners can be stressful for pets, and one of my greatest strengths is creating a cozy and reassuring environment for your baby to feel loved. Whether your pet needs playtime, exercise, extra snuggles, or simply a steady and comforting presence, I am committed to treating them with the same care and respect I would give my own animals!

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

About: Hi! One thing that I feel stands me out is the fact that I grew up with animals my entire life. I say this because when you have 5+ animals in the house at all times, you learn at an early age what is safe for your pets and what isn't. Along with the very important behavioral knowledge that comes with each baby's unique personality that can end a situation in a disaster depending on how you handle it. I have been working with animals for my whole life, but if you want details on professional settings, I actively volunteer at Nashville's Humane Society and a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Joelton. I have been volunteering for roughly six years. I also worked for a while in a veterinarian's office and learned medicinal skills for pets in an emergency situtation. And also the best way to cut your baby's nails. I am available Monday through Friday, but I am in school so I have a bit of a scattered availability. Monday- I have class at noon, so I am available anytime after 1pm. Tuesday- Unfortunately I have class all day so this day would not be ideal. Wednesday- I have class at noon, so I am available anytime after 1pm. Thursday- I have class until 5 pm, so I am available anytime after that. Friday- I have class at noon, so I am available anytime after 1pm. Saturday- This day depends, so just speak with me and I will let you know my availability for this day specifically. Sunday- This day depends, so just speak with me and I will let you know my availability for this day specifically. When I enter a client's home, my first response is to locate the dog's favorite spots, whether that be the couch, or their dog bed. I feel this to be important because for a lot of dogs, invading on their personal space initiates a territorial response that could upset the dog. I am vigilant and pay close attention to ensure no destruction or rebellion is occurring while the owner is away. In regards to walks, a long walk is always the best walk. We have to get that energy out!

“Casey is a great dog walker. I’ve recently gone back to work and I’m so thankful to have a reliable, kind dog walker for my pup.”

“Tori was amazing I had enough time to clean my house and Roxy is sufficiently tired now that she's home so that should give me the rest of the evening to breathe”

Regina G.

“Jasmine is great. She takes our dog for a walks but also takes extra time to make sure he had drank water and gone to the bathroom. She sends us nice photos from his walks and also little notes about how his walks went. She is a good communicator and easy to work with. Highly recommended!”

About: Hello! My name is Jess! All of my life I have had dogs. They have always been a part of me. I started working with animals when I was very young, volunteering for fostering, working at shelters, and working for rescue groups. I grew up in the country where we used to have a ton of animals! Dogs, cats, (even chickens and gunnies). I now live in a spacious house in nashville with my hisband, daughter, 2 rescue dogs and rescue cat. The past year, I have been fostering for a local rescue. I’m so fortunate my two dogs get along well with others. My house is a dogs dream, as we have a huge fenced in back yard and I work from home! So they run until their heart is content. We welcome all breeds here and would love to meet you and your furry companion. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible! I let my dogs in and out many times a day - our house is equipped with all the toys and beds a dog could want I take safety very seriously. Especially when it’s a life I’m responsible for. Ensuring all locks are locked and precautions are in place before walking or letting out a dog is my number one focus. Then we can have all the fun!
