Dog Walkers in Rutledge, TN

About: I’ve never gone a day in my life without a dog, and they’ve always been family — never just animals in the house. That same love and respect is what I bring to every pet I care for. With two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable walking, feeding, playing, and giving oral or topical medications. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality so they feel safe, understood, and truly cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep routines consistent. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions to ensure safety at all times. I take time to make pets feel comfortable and calm in their own environment, keeping things clean and organized before I leave. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.

About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember, and I knew early on that working with them was where I belonged. Over the years I’ve gained hands‑on experience with pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable with bathing, feeding, walking, cleaning, and providing general care to keep animals happy, healthy, and relaxed.

Caring for animals is already part of my daily rhythm, and my online schedule makes it easy for me to be consistently available and attentive. While I don’t offer boarding, my home environment is fully set up for cats and reflects the way I care for my own four. My apartment is every cat’s dream with toys, towers, enrichment activities, and plenty of stimulation. This experience helps me understand what keeps cats comfortable, engaged, and stress‑free.

About: I have had pets all my life. I love them all…especially the doggies! We have four rescue pups, a bunny and and a bearded dragon so we share the love with all different animals. I started a dog treat bakery business a couple of years ago that’s really starting to grow, so I’m now transitioning from the 9-5 job so I can pursue my passion for animals full time. I own my own dog bakery and work from home, so my availability is very flexible. We have an 11 acre farm with 2 separate “dog yards”. I will take your dog(s) for long walks and of course playtime if they like, give them food water and treats as needed, and I’m happy to accommodate with any special requests if your fur baby has a favorite activity, treat, or any special needs.

About: Born and raised on a farm in Ohio, caring for animals has been in my DNA my whole life! I love animals of every shape and size, and raised Pembroke Welsh Corgi's for many years.

I am generally available anytime on Monday and Tuesday's, and all other mornings till 1 pm. Also able to transport to airports.

About: I am such a huge animal lover! My last job was at a doggy daycare & boarding facility, which has given me so much first-hand experience and knowledge on working with animals! My dream has always been to be a voice for the animals that have none, which is why I have two rescue pups of my own! I am currently a dog groomer and love making pups feel beautiful everyday. I currently work at a grooming salon! I used to be a BarkRanger at a doggy daycare monitoring dog behavior in group settings. I love animals and am looking to spend even more time with pups during my free time! I have a fenced in yard and live in a very rural area! My neighborhood is very animal and kid friendly, which was a big factor in settling where I did. My senior dog, who will be turning 8 soon, is completely house-broken and has been spoiled with getting the second bedroom all to herself. My youngest girl just turned two! She has been crate-trained due to rescuing her from a very serious neglect situation. I am slowly transitioning her into being house-broken, but I take it at a very slow pace to not overwhelm her with it all. I have a double bark box subscription for them, so there is always an endless flow of toys and treats in our house! I also have a cat I rescued! He just turned 4 last month. He is not the biggest fan of my pups so he also has his own bedroom in the office area of our house, finished with his own little cat door to give him that freedom at night once everyone heads to bed!

About: I’ve taken care of pets big and small and families have always trusted me that I will take the best care of their babies. I’m very honest, trustworthy, and dependable. I just moved here from Florida to be with my daughter and grandkids and I would love to help take care of the precious pets in our area. I can give your pets potty breaks, take them on walks and give them lots of love. I’m dependable and reliable! I will always treat your pets like they are my own.

About: I've been around and cared for animals my entire life. I have experience with reptiles, rodents, and birds, as well as farm animals like horses and goats. That being said, I also have plenty of experience with cats and dogs! I'm used to big dogs (I hang out with Great Danes) but have no problem with smaller dogs as well. I've done overnight/weekend puppy sitting for family in the past, as well as drop ins. I currently work nights in a restaurant, but I am trying to transition out of that industry. I am currently pursuing a few options, and would love to end up pet sitting full time! My house has cats and a nine year old boxer great dane mix (named Tucker) who is totally ready to let your fur baby be in charge! I have a half acre yard to play in at my house, but if we need more space we can go to Tucker's favorite place...the farm! There are goats, horses, and two great Dane friends to play with at the farm, and 25 acres to play on! If I come to visit your fur baby at your house, I will show your home the utmost respect. I will follow any instructions left, and I'm excellent with communication if you want updates.

About: I had a Great Dane for 8 years. Proficient in giant breeds and senior dogs. Love to walk and hike with dogs. Had cats since I was a child and currently have three at home. Currently volunteering at the Humane Society. I'm available Monday thru Friday to walk dogs and home visits for dogs and cats. My schedule is flexible. I'm available for overnight pet sitting upon request. If overnight pet-sitting I prefer to meet with the pet parents prior to spending the night so that I understand your pet's schedule and needs.

“My favorite sitter yet! She provided exactly what my dog needed. Elizabeth was super understanding, and gave off good vibes to us and our dogs. My dog does not do well with me being gone, but he loves his new Rover friend?❤”

About: I’ve taken care of many many pets. From German shepherds, Labs, Boxers, Beagles, little dogs too, Pomeranians, Yorkies, Chihuahuas. I’ve raised many litters. Pets are not just animals, they are family. Your pet will be right at home in my care, comfort snuggles, playtime. I will care for them like they are my own. I work for myself, and at home so my hours are very flexible and I have plenty of time to play and care for your fur baby! In my home, I provide a calm, cozy, and safe environment where pets can relax and feel loved. I follow each pet’s usual routine, feeding schedules, walks, medication, and playtime to help them feel right at home. Pets have access to clean indoor space, comfy spots to nap, and a secure deck to sunbath, and plenty of land for leashed walks. In Clients’ Homes, I care for pets just like you would, keeping them comfortable, loved, and on their routine. I’m respectful of your home, follow all instructions carefully, and give updates with photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I got my first dog at age 8! I’ve cared for my own as well as family and friends. I think of them as true family members. I have experience giving dogs injections/medications. I’ll also be available to play, feed, walk, take outside, and of course give all the treaties :) I’m an RN! I spend most of my off time with my dogs or other dogs <3 my husband also is home most days while in school and helps me with the dogs while I’m away. We’re a team! I have a fenced in backyard. It is rather small but allows our little corgi to freely roam off the leash. We have a little patio back there and often when it’s warm will sit outside and play with the dog. We allow our dog to be out and about in the home provided she is clean. She sleeps with us in the bed. We allow other dogs to stay out in the home to sleep if that is preferred and they are housetrained. If not, we do have a crate on hand we can use if away/sleeping. We have a couple neighborhoods nearby we do walk in.
