Dog Walkers in Ridgetop, TN

About: Before becoming a mom, I lived dogs and learning dog training. It was my passion. Certified with 16hrs continued training, apprenticeships, 1yr experience at a large veterinarian hospital, certified in dog first aid, studied dog psychology, along with several of my own on the side dogs I have personally owned and trained or helped others to train- to say I have years of experience is more than just helping friends and family along the way. I was on the way to becoming a full time dog trainer before having children put a pause on it. Now that my children are getting older, I am ready to get back at it and start sharing my passion and experience with others again. There is nothing like being able to help others understand and know how to work with their fur babies better. Seeing the light and joy in both the dog and the owners eyes once a new skill is unlocked or a problem is resolved or simply helping someone out by getting in an extra walk for their pup while they are at work, I enjoy all of it! Age has no boundaries on learning! I have worked with puppies all the way up to seniors! Pure breeds of all kinds with so many mixed rescues too! No dog is beyond change or learning! If you have any further questions about my abilities, please feel free to reach out! I am happy to answer any and all questions or do a meet and greet. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your babies as I have cared for mine! Currently a stay at home mom, I am quite flexible during the weekdays. I am available to make sure your pup gets well taken care of. Safety of your pet is my utmost priority. Consistency to routine is also important. So if there is a certain way you like things done in regards to feeding or care, please feel free to let me know.

About: I have been dog sitting for 10 years. Not only will they get a walk or visit but they will also receive a belly rub and play time. I am currently available everyday for the next couple weeks and then I will be available 4 days a week. Once I start work again my days vary from each week. Dog walking is a passion because I love walking and will gladly have a little companion walk beside me. I will take great care of your best friend and make sure he is well exercised. If your dog is learning commands I will uphold them and practice the tricks with him or her. Message me to find out more information and hopefully I see you soon! I have and open schedule during the week Monday through Thursday and would love to fill my time visiting you cat or dog or taking your dog on a walk. Walks are very enjoyable for me, especially with a companion. I ensure that dogs are safe on their walks. They will walk on the side furthest from the road and always remain on leash during walks. I will also make sure that their immediate environment is free from choking hazards.

About: I am experienced in pet sitting! I have many friends who I’ve pet sat for as a favor and have always loved animals. I also have a cat at home and have grown up with both cats and dogs. Would be happy to help you with any of your pet needs! I am a stay at home mom with a 2 year old. He is in school part time so I have plenty of availability to come at a moments notice to help with any of your pets needs. I am very respectful of my clients and their space. I am engaged and helpful with the pets and even clean and organize while I’m there (if requested). I am a mom, and pet mom, so everything I do comes from a place of consideration and love.

“Mrs. Anita was GREAT! This was my first time leaving my Freenie with a stranger. When she came to meet Freenie, she was so loving and kind that I immediately felt comfortable with this arrangement. Mrs. Anita kept me informed through messages and pictures which put my mind at ease that my Freenie was being well taken care of. I am absolutely happy with the service that I received. I will definitely use her again.”

About: Hi, my name is Becca! I am a cat mom to 4 wonderful cats, including 2 seniors with medical needs. I also previously volunteered at an no-kill animal shelter in Idaho where I completed their Level 2 training in cat socialization. Through this training, I learned skills for reading cat body language; interacting with all types of cats with care, respect, and empathy; and monitoring cats for signs of distress. I also grew up with dogs, including a German Shephard, Golden Retriever, Jack Russell Terrier, and Lab. I have 20 years of part-time and occasional pet sitting experience with both dogs and cats in client's homes. I am an animal lover who will care for your fur babies like they're my own. <3 I am an attorney currently in between jobs while I wait for my law license to transfer to TN so I currently have open availability I can care for dogs and cats in your home (drop-in visits and/or walks). I can provide feeding, watering, oral medication, cleaning, playing, and cuddles. I am also happy to provide other housesitting services (plant care, mail, packages, trash).

About: I've had animals of all kinds my entire life. I've had dogs of all sizes, cats of many kinds, guinea pigs, and even snakes. I've never met a pet I didn't love, and I'm known for unsocial animals warming up to me very quickly. I'm a huge animal lover and would love the opportunity to keep your fur baby company while you're away. I currently work full time in Nashville. Due to that, I have my availability turned off during the week. However, I am happy to to work together on evening visits for when I get home. I also have open availability during the weekend. My cat in my home gets the queen treatment, so I'd absolutely provide the same treatment for your fur baby. I provide all of the cuddles, pets, and play time to make for a happy pet.

About: I am the youngest of 4 girls and we always got the same pets together. But for some reason, my pets always lived the longest! I like to think its because I took the time to educate, play and love on my pets. My first pet was when I was 7: a hermit crab. Then a finch, a parakeet, a hamster and a rabbit. My hamster even knew his name, Ted, like a teddy bear. So when all the hamsters escaped their cage, only Ted came back! When my family got our first dog, Kovu, I quickly became his best friend (after my dad, of course). I taught him sit, down, shake, spin and roll over. We got a second dog, Hercules, who I taught all those tricks to as well as beg! Herc was a little more agile than Hunky Kovu. Kovu went on to learn how to retrieve their dog bowls for dinner and to help carry bags of trash to the trashcan or groceries to the house. As Herc got older, he became more anxious. So I’d give him extra cuddles every 4th of July and put on his vest that felt like a hug around him. Both Kovu and Herc have gone on to Dog Heaven after 14 years of life each. And I’ve gone on to live with a roommate with a very skiddish, anxious dog to owning two rescues with my Husband, Jax and Milo. They too, know all the tricks I taught my family dogs and have learned to be great around our 3-month old baby. I’m working part time in the early morning hours on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. Otherwise, I am free pretty much all day to care for your fur babies. If you have a fenced yard, I’ll make sure to get them plenty outside time for play. If not, I’m happy to take them for walks throughout the day. I’ll make sure to clean up after them so your home stays nice and tidy while you are away. I can give them a bath if needed and time for tricks and treats if you allow!

About: I’ve taken care of friends and families animals throughout my life and can never get enough of doggy kisses! I have taken care of many pets on and off throughout my teen years and college and now that I am back in college…here I am! I am detailed, great with schedules, and understanding of special accommodations or unusual pets. I am in college part time, and am available to your pets all day Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, while Mondays and Wednesdays are before 9 and after 2. I have a fenced yard and understand keeping a proper schedule to make your pet feel safe and comfortable. I will always take special care of your animals in your home as well with toy pick up, wiping up messes, and scheduled outside play time that leaves them tired.

“Kyla is so dependable especially in the cold, cold weather! Very flexible with my husband and my schedule! My first pick on Rover, and I am so glad I found her! Dent loves his walks!”

About: Hi! I’m Amanda, a registered nurse and lifelong animal lover offering drop-in visits, walks, and boarding in my home. I currently travel all throughout Nashville and surrounding areas providing wound care to patients, so my schedule is extremely flexible and there’s a good chance I’m already in your area often. My nursing background has made me very dependable, attentive, patient, and comfortable handling routines, medications, senior pets, puppies, and anxious dogs. I’m also a dog mom myself, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, and yes, I will absolutely send you a million pictures and updates because I love getting them of my own dogs too. <3 I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week since I work as a registered nurse traveling throughout Nashville and surrounding areas providing wound care to patients in their homes. Because I’m already driving all over the city daily, I’m often able to accommodate drop-ins, walks, and check-ins in many different areas. I’m available for boarding in my home as well and will always make sure your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, love, and updates throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have two friendly dogs of my own and a fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, so I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, crate routines, and any special requests to help them feel comfortable and secure. As a nurse, I’m very attentive, calm under pressure, and detail-oriented. I’ll treat them like family and send plenty of pictures and updates along the way because I know how much that means as a pet parent.

“Lori B is the BEST dog walker I’ve had so far in the local Greenbrier/Springfield area. Timely communications. Prompt.”

About: Ever since I was a young lad, I've had 2 cats that I still take care of to this day. I've also been taling care or my parents' dogs not super long ago. I always try my best to help your pets! I'm available at anytime! I should be available at anytime unless I note it somewhere in my profile. Also available at day and night anyday. I always try my best to follow the owner's instructions on how to take care of their pets no matter how I feel about them.

About: My name is Lauren and I work in the corporate pet food industry but have plenty of extra free time and would love to use it to do something I love, hanging with dogs. I currently have a beagle and Australian Shepard that I share with my husband and throughout my life I've fostered and pet sat several dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages. I enjoy being outside and love getting my steps in everyday, so plenty of walks will be given. Animals have always been a passion of mine and I would love the opportunity to take care of and love on yours! I currently work full time from home with some work travel during the week. If I am traveling, I'll set my status to away but am very available when home. I currently live in a townhome that does not have a fenced in backyard, though it does have a yard I can let dogs out quickly on leashes and the neighborhood also has plenty of walking trails for long walks. In general, I let dogs roam (supervised of course) as they please and all dogs are allowed on furniture.

“Katherine and her daughters always take such great care of our fluffy boy. And I know he enjoys being able to stay home and not have to go to a foreign kennel.”
