Dog Walking Rocky Top

“Sarah really took her time to let our dogs warm up to her, that took a while, and then she even completed the entire walk time after that. She was very communicative & committed. Thank you Sarah!”

About: I am an experienced veterinary assistant with experience handling all breeds and temperaments of dogs! I have experience with both behavioral and medical needs, and I am happy to do whatever is necessary to keep you and your babies happy! I currently work full time, however, I work at a doggy daycare so many times the dogs can come with me as long as they are up to date on shots! I also get an hour long lunch break, where I am able to go home and give them love! I am avid about keeping a clean and neat home whether mine or yours! I am happy to clean up after myself whether that means laundry or baths for your babies!

About: (PSA - I’m married! So if you don’t mind a couple watching your pets, we’ll be more than happy to serve you! The below agreement will still apply, of course; there’s just a second set of hands. I can also watch your home and pets solo if that’s what you prefer. 🥰) Home/Pet Owner Satisfaction Agreement: - My personal motto is "Leave it better than you found it." - Your home will be taken care as if it was my own. - I will do light cleaning and even landscaping if needed, so your home stays well kept. - Your pets will receive the attention they deserve. - I will do my absolute best to make sure their daily routine stays the same as if you were home. - I will send you all the pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. - If you ask me to do something, it will get done. - When you return home, you'll be able to rest immediately because your home will be clean and your pets happy (though definitely excited to see you again!). I always don't trust people easily, and I usually rely on myself a lot to get things done. So it'd be scary for me to have a stranger taking care of my home and pets. I'd worry constantly over my furry family. That's why I try to immediately put you at ease during our initial conversation and respect your home and pet(s). I grew up with pets (hence the 20 years of experience), so I am definitely an animal lover. I've also house/pet sit here on Rover and by word-of-mouth referrals for two years now and already have 32 reviews of pleased home and pet owners. After reading the reviews on my profile and browsing the photo gallery (Get ready for cuteness overload and not from me!), here's how you can work with me: 1. Send me a message. 2. In that message, tell me about your pets, their needs, and what dates you'll be gone. 3. We'll adjust the pricing if needed. 4. Before finalizing the booking, I will meet you and your pet(s) in your home for you to walk me through the daily routine and see if we're a good fit. 5. If both parties agree, we confirm the booking. It's that easy! Thank you so much in advance for trusting me with your home and pet(s)! In return, I will strive to take the best care of your home and pet(s). So that you won't loose any sleep worrying if they're okay or not. That way, you can actually enjoy your vacation or fully focus on business and/or family while you're gone. I work remotely full time as a writer and freelance marketer, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m completely available any day for whatever you need and will be able to give your home and pet(s) the attention they deserve. I will follow whatever instructions you give to a T. As a creative person, my brain can be scattered, but having instructions in a text or list helps a ton. That way, you have utmost peace of mind that your home and pet(s) are receiving the best care!

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and understanding of animals, especially cats, combined with my commitment to providing personalized care. I take the time to learn your pet’s unique routine, preferences, and personality to ensure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. With a deep attention to detail and experience as a cat owner myself, I’m skilled at recognizing subtle cues that may indicate their needs or moods. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while giving you peace of mind. As a full-time student, I’ve mastered the art of balancing responsibilities, and pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize the well-being of animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s feeding, playing, or providing companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine, ensuring they receive attention and care when they need it. Caring for animals isn’t just a task for me—it’s a passion I make time for every day, even amidst my busy academic life. When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home, my priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them. In my home, I ensure the space is clean, secure, and pet-friendly, with plenty of room for play, rest, and exploration. I maintain a structured routine that includes feeding, exercise, playtime, and quiet time to keep pets happy and healthy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect and follow their established routines to provide consistency for their pets. I take care to keep the space clean and secure, ensuring their pet feels at ease while maintaining the familiar surroundings they’re used to. Whether it’s walks, feeding, litter box maintenance, or administering medications, I provide attentive care tailored to their specific needs. In both settings, communication with the pet owner is key—I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give peace of mind and ensure trust.

About: I've had both cats and dogs my whole life and I have been boarding and walking dogs through River for about three years now! I recently relocated to Knoxville and am excited to take on new clients to spend time with their fur babies and treat them as my own!

I am flexible so I can fit whatever day or time works best for my clients. I do not currently board in my home. If I come to your home to watch after your pet, I am very respectful of your home and the items in it. I want to make your pet as comfortable as possible and maintain their regular eating schedule. I will ensure they have access to drinking water at all times and get frequent potty breaks, every two hours or so. We will go for walks, if permitted, and spend extra time with play toys and cuddles!

About: I have taken care of my own dogs, neighbors dogs, and friends dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I am always all of their first calls when they need some last minute walks, feedings, or overnight sittings. I am an independent contractor so I set my own schedule outside of dog walking so I am always pretty available. I am also a college athlete so my schedule can be fairly hectic during the day, but my evenings are always wide open for lots of attention and play time When caring for your dog in your home, I will make sure to follow all instructions you have left me and ensure I contact you if I have any questions that could put your dogs safety at risk. I want to ensure their owner has peace of mind that they’re fur baby is being well taken care of. I am a college student and a student athlete so mornings/afternoons can be a little hectic. I am still able to provide some play time and attention with that. However, my evening are always wide open to provide even extra attention and play time for the dogs. I always make sure to keep them a priority in my schedule either way! I want to make sure to follow the dog’s normal routine to put them in as much ease as possible. Being left with a stranger can sometimes be stressful, but I will be sure to try and ease that for them.

About: My experience with dogs has gone on since a very young age. Growing up, my favorite job was always pet sitting. I've been surrounded by many types and sizes and have learned about many of them. I've trained my 100-pound lab and now have to provide her with certain medications. My family, friends, neighbors, and others have trusted me to take care of their pets and know they will easily become comfortable. I take my dog on daily walks, as well as feeding her in the morning and at night. We take her on drives since she loves the car, and play many different games with her to keep her smart. We make sure our pets are always comfortable. Meaning getting many walks, as well as being fed food and water. We make sure they get plenty of playtime, as well as taking their little naps.

About: I am a licensed veterinary technician so I am professionally trained to know how to take care of your animals especially if there is an emergency! I currently work full time at Lincoln Memorial University. I can only do weekends because of my schedule, but I can also see what I can do to help during the week! I do not have a fenced in yard. My dogs have been trained to stay in the yard. I have 3 dogs, they are younger and very playful. I also have 3 cats. Even though I do not have a fence, I can offer walks in the yard or walking up and down the road and put them on the leash while they use the bathroom. I have a whole room dedicated for the animals where they can stay unless they are kept uncaged then they can have free roam of the house.
