Dog Walking Rudderville

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was around 10! I've had the privilege of volunteering at a shelter with all kinds of dogs who need love, working as a veterinary nurse learning the ins and outs of pet health, nannying a sweet bloodhound, and working at a pet boarding site. I became a dog sitter in my community in my hometown and started caring for all kinds of dogs regularly. It has become my absolute favorite pastime. I am comfortable administering medication, training, taking extra care of your senior pup, and working with aggressive/anxious dogs. I can't wait to meet and care for your dogs! Pet care is my main job! Based on what we talk about during our meet n greet, I will shape my schedule around your pets needs and routines. I'm very flexible! How I care for your dogs in your home is really up to you and your dog's preferences and routine. If you have an active dog, we can play outside, take walks, and do some mentally stimulating activities. If your dog is more of a couch potato, we can do a little exercise and then cuddle the day away. I am comfortable working on training and will accommodate what works best for you guys.

“We recently adopted a dog and were worried he was snot getting enough exercise. Although 3 years old, our Billy still has puppy energy. We wanted someone to walk him while we were both at work therefore, we turned to Rover. We contacted Jenna and did a meet and greet the next day. She came prepared with an iPad taking notes as we went along our routines. She is amazing and remained professional even after a mishmash.”

I have a relatively flexible daily schedule, especially in the summer to help care for your pets. I can take them for walks while you work or check in on them throughout your vacation. During the school year I can provide morning, afternoon, and evening check ins and walks or playtime. I have a 65 lb dog of my own who I take for walks, play with in the yard and spend lots of time snuggling. I am happy to take your pet on a walk in your neighborhood or play with them in your back yard. I can feed and water them and ensure they go outside. I am comfortable giving oral and injectable medication to dogs. Injectable medication for cats. I have experience with guinea pigs as well. I am comfortable handling them, conscious of their dietary needs and restrictions. I am not afraid of large animals and happy to walk them.

“WOW! Barbara is the BEST. She took such great care of my dog Winnie while I was out of town. She fed, watered, walked, and played with Winnie and sent me prompt updates with multiple photos each day! She even picked up my mail for me! Cannot recommend Barbara enough. She is thoughtful, warm, and polished. I was so scared to leave my dog in someone else’s care and Barbara absolutely assuaged any concerns I had. 12/10. Will be rebooking!! 💕”

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember — growing up, my family had dogs, turtles, birds, rabbits, and lizards, so I'm just as comfortable with cats and small pets as I am with dogs. I also attended a high school built around animal care, giving me formal training on top of a lifetime of hands-on experience. On top of that, I'm a college graduate, which taught me the same things animal care requires: personal responsibility, patience, and attention to detail. I treat every pet like it's my own: same routine, same patience, same attention to detail every single visit. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have a flexible schedule with steady availability throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and extended stays. I always confirm exact timing with you directly so visits fit your pet's normal routine. Since all my visits happen at your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, securing doors and alarms exactly as instructed, keeping to the routine you've laid out, and never deviating from your pet's normal environment.

About: I have been dogsitting since I was around 13 years old for many different families. I have been around dogs my whole life and have owned and helped raise 4 dogs. Two were raised from the puppy stage. The other two were raised till senior age. I have experience with many different breeds and sizes of dogs from golden doodles to Yorkies! I have a deep love for dogs and always enjoy being around animals. It brings me so much joy! I am a college student but my afternoons are usually free and on weekends I always go home if I have nothing planned and spent time with my pets and family. I am very respectful of others space and possessions. I understand I am a guest and act accordingly and take up minimal space and don’t abuse the generosity and trust clients have put in me.

“Jemma is the best! Shes so sweet and loving when it comes to Smoke. She is always on time, very communicative, and best of all, Smoke loves her. I will continue to book with her!”

About: I'm a stay-at-home college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I've grown up around both dogs and cats and have years of experience caring for them. At home, I currently care for one dog and two cats, so I'm comfortable with daily walks, feeding, basic care, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to adjust my care to meet their needs. I'm currently working part-time, but I typically work 1-3 days a week and shifts that are only 4 1/2 hours, so I won't be away for too long. I make sure there is a clean environment for the pets, and I make sure that all pets are taken care of correctly. All pets are different, and I try to meet every pet's needs so how I care for every pet differs with how the pet needs to be taken care of. When it comes to taking care of the house itself, I try to be super neat and leave the house better than I found it.

“Jen is very accommodating and easy to work with. Would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was about 15, either house sitting, walking, or drop ins. I have experience with all animal behaviors and am comfortable with most. I am available any time; I don’t have a traditional job anymore. Monday through Friday and select weekends depending on the need of the pet! I am not able to watch pets in my home, but in yours. I am mostly available to do drop ins; long or short. I am happy to give them enrichment whether it be fetch or wand toys!

About: I have two dogs and two cats at home, so I know how to handle a lot of animals! I have grown up with a house full of animals and have been exposed to lots of other pets whether family, friends, or neighbors! I can’t wait to help out! I am currently home from college and have lots of time to check on any furry friends! I am very flexible and would love to help! When I am home from college on any kind of breaks I will also be available! Your pets safety is my priority! I value communication and respect, in which you can rely on me to care for your furry friend with intentionality! Pets are apart of our families, and I will make sure your family member is feeling loved and comforted while you are away!

About: Fun fact I used to be afraid of animals until I was about 12. Now I have 4 cats and have owned 6 dogs over the years. I have trained 3 of them to a basic degree and also own a snake. I love animals of all kinds and more often than not they warm up to me instantly! I am interested in summer work during the off season and am available most days almost anytime with some exceptions. I prefer mornings to mid afternoons but am very flexible! Standard house sitting includes overnight care plus daytime absences up to 4–8 hours depending on the pets’ needs. I also offer constant care for houses and pets for a custom rate depending on the individual and pets schedule! Since I have 4 cats and a human I cant board pets at home. But I have no issues staying over a night if needed, and can easily House-sit, Dog-sit, and Cat-sit in the greater Franklin area! I can feed, play, walk, provide potty breaks, and even teach dogs a trick or two.

About: Professionalism, integrity, top tier care and timeliness are my main priorities. I have a years of experience caring for canines and cats. When they are with me, I love to take them on adventures, play fetch, walks, and give them lots of love. I’m experienced with all breed and sizes! I am a local contractor so my schedule is very flexible. I can do morning, night and mid day walks or drop ins as long as I don’t have a job to do! I will always take your dog on regular walks and play with younger dogs or any who have the energy. I know how to pet the grumpiest of cats without them walking away! I will give your pet a lot of attention as I know they might be missing you and want them to be relaxed as possible!

About: I grew up with two cats and have always been around dogs with family, neighbors, and friends so I am very familiar with both. I have always loved animals and wanted so many of my own to raise and spoil. As I have been around dogs since I was little, I have never dog sat before but I am so open and ready for this opportunity. I am willing to spend nights, daytimes, and many dog walks with your lovely animals if you will give me the chance. I am a very ambitious and persistent young lady, I love outdoors and having fun but also love staying in and cuddling with fur babies. I currently work a part-time job at a restaurant, those are mostly night shifts ranging from 4-9pm during the summer. I have plenty of mornings to make sure the animal (s) are set up for the night and ready for my attention and care straight after work. I am also a very clean and hygienic person, so your animals and house will be cleaned exactly how expected and left. As I live with my parents I am not sure that they are comfortable with animals staying at the house. This also means that at the parents house I stay at does not have animals which is why I am so excited to help other pet owners so I can get that love I have been missing. The animals in my pictures are from my mother's house who I stayed with my whole life until I moved in with my father at 18. Therefore, I am able to stay over for however long at the clients house. I have the biggest heart for people and animals in need and love when I can show them the love and affection they need. I am very good with schedules, setting alarms, and following rules.

About: What sets me apart is my experience, but mostly patience and care. I was a teacher so my energy always stays calm so theirs does as well. I am a creative writer so let me take your pets on their next adventure while you are on yours. Whether it is riding a dragon through the subdivision, swimming with the dolphins in the pool, or playing poker with the neighborhood pets, I promise to provide a fun and creative experience for your pets. I’m currently working part time so I have time to play and love on your animals. We might even play poker if the mood hits. Whether it’s a Mansion or a condo, boathouse or RV…I will provide a great housesitting experience for your pets while you’re away. I treat them with the same love and care I provide my own pets.

“Leigh- Ann has been great. She was so good we hired her for a second week. Bella, our boxer, has quickly adapted to her. I would highly recommend Leigh-Ann to anyone who is interested in a new dog walker!”

About: I have worked at a dog daycare for over 2 1/2 years! i’ve worked with groups of dogs ranging from 15-35 at once, ive worked with “aggressive” and reactive dogs. taking care of them and working together with them i live at home and i have 5 dogs! one is my babygirl, (the other 4 are my family’s) shes a rescue, i got her about 2 years ago. what i didn’t expect was how many triggers/trauma she has from her previous home. i work with her every day shes done so good since, still needs more time but shes my soulmate in a dog my home has about almost an acre, fenced in yard! lots of holes that my furbabies created for digging! there is a shed that we have planned to remove sometime. not to sound alarming but there is a grape vine, no grapes grow just leaves. and your furbabies will always be supervised. the fence is about 4-5 feet so if you have a jumper, they can still come just probably on a long leash which i have if you don’t.
