Dog Walking In Shelby Hills

About: I’ve loved dogs and cats my whole life! I have been pet sitting/ walking since I was old enough to, and I now own two lovely cats :) I love pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes, and am very patient / experienced with elderly and young pets. As a musician, I get to create my own schedule—meaning I am very flexible and can adapt to your needs. If you’ll have me, I’d love to treat your precious ones with the same love and care i could my own someday :) I have a very flexible schedule at the moment! I can create my daily schedule based on your needs. I am organized and reliable, and have no problem waking up very early or staying late to make sure your pets are happy and safe! I am very gentle with pets, but also very playful! I recognize that they are often home alone for a good portion of the day, and that they would love a companion and a way to release energy. In my own home, I carve out time each and every day to properly stimulate my cats! In others’ homes, I do my best to appear as a familiar figure in the pets’ safe space. With cats, I take a gentler approach. With dogs, I let them sniff and then shower them with cuddles and playtime! And on walks, I am happy to walk them for as long as needed. I recognize that some dogs need a lot of exercise or stimulation, and with my active lifestyle it’s nothing I can’t handle.

“Laura is our regular dog walker. She's wonderfully responsible and consistent and a great communicator. I never have to worry that my older dog is in good hands.”

“Kirstie goes above and beyond and I'm so glad we found her to take care of our pup while we're at work. We contacted her with short notice and she is a life saver for us and our dog. Would highly recommend her!”

“Ally is fantastic! She walked my dog and my mom’s dog while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. She came to meet our dog beforehand and was extremely professional and nice. We had such peace of mind on our vacation knowing Ally was giving Finn, consistent, good walks! We will absolutely be using her again.”

About: Hi! I’m Macy – a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I raised my own pup, Teddy, from about week 10, and that experience taught me patience, intuition, and how to build trust with animals.A few summers back, I cared for my sister and brother-in-law's dogs in Atlanta—a sweet Cavalier and a high-energy German Shepherd—which meant managing very different needs and energy levels all day, every day. It was a full house, but I loved every minute of it. I have a large, secure backyard perfect for playtime, and I’m an avid walker and runner (newly accomplished half-marathon girly here!), so your dog will get plenty of fresh air and exercise. With a flexible WFH schedule 2–3 days a week, I can give pets extra attention and companionship throughout the day. I treat every animal like my own, and I’d love to help give yours the same love, care, and fun they’re used to at home. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays, which means your pet will have plenty of company and care throughout the day. I build in regular breaks to take dogs on walks, play in the yard, and keep up with feeding routines. Whether your pet needs activity or just a calm presence nearby, I’m here to make them feel safe and loved. Creating a safe, trusted environment is my top priority. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality and needs, whether that means extra snuggles, space to roam, or a calm, quiet spot to relax. In addition to my WFH days, I’d love to welcome your dog for overnight stays—especially on weekends, when they can enjoy plenty of time outside playing with my friendly dog, Teddy, in the backyard. I'm happy to crate your pup or let them have free roam of the house—whatever makes them (and you!) most comfortable.

About: I have always been an animal person. I love animals and I love the privilege of getting to know their personalities and getting to take great care of them. I have a great flexible schedule that allows me to fill whatever pet needs you may have. I love going on walks and having a pet with me is such a bonus! My own cats are taken care of like queens. Your pets will be no different! I am happy to fill your pet needs and beyond.

About: I’ve cared for every kind of pup in my lifetime— from potty-training puppies to sweet senior dogs, from tiny little nuggets to 200 lb gentle giants. Having owned two dogs myself and cared for dogs belonging to family and friends, I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I’ve provided trusted dog sitting and house sitting services, managing feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I’m confident handling both high-energy dogs and calmer senior dogs, and I always prioritize safety, consistency, and communication. I don’t currently have a dog of my own, so every dog I meet gets to be “my dog” for a little while, and I treat them with the same care, attention, and love I would give my own. I just graduated college and am in between jobs, so I have plenty of time to care for your pup. My schedule is open and flexible enough to accommodate same day services. I currently cannot care for pets in my home; however, I’m happy to commute to a client’s home to provide care where pets are most comfortable and familiar. I always try to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible, focusing on creating a calm and dependable environment through consistent walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and companionship. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands.

About: Hi! My name is Sydney and I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy! I have grown up with cats and dogs and I have experience staying in other people’s homes to take care of their pets for an extended amount of time. I also have experience with walking dogs, whether they are well-trained or leash tuggers. I am able to be mindful of the boundaries of the pet owner and the pet themselves! Every animal deserves genuine love and quality care, and I am here to provide! I am currently not working as I am studying for the board exam to become a licensed physical therapist, so my schedule is very open! I am willing to work with your pet sitting needs! I am always attentive to the owner’s specific needs for their pet to make sure everyone is comfortable and cared for. I have a doctorate of physical therapy! I am a very trustworthy person as I take my patient’s health very seriously. I am here to care for all forms of life, big or small :)

“I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention Jacquelyn gave to my dog! She took my pup on three great 30-minute walks and kept me updated with detailed notes and adorable photos after each one. It was clear she really cared and made sure my dog was happy, exercised, and safe. I felt totally at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind walker!”

About: I grew up with pets and love them basically more than people! I treat them how I would myself! I need them to be well fed, comfortable, given attention and getting in their steps! I’m currently training for a fitness instructor job which is only a few hours a day. Not your typical 9-5, so my hours are more available depending on what time you would like me to help out. I make sure the pet is comfortable and well fed. If there’s ever an emergency I would immediately take them to the vet. I’ve had some scary experiences of my own and wouldn’t want that for someone else.

About: I’ve helped to care for dogs, cats, and more for friends and neighbors since childhood. My most valuable experience with dogs has come from volunteering at a dog rescue called Champs Chance in college. There I walked and handled dogs at events and transported them to vet appointments. It was there that I adopted my own dog, Mavis. I have handled dogs of many different breeds, demeanors, and sizes. I would love to provide the care that your pet deserves! I’m currently available during the week or on weekends to help out with your pet! Just let me know how I can help and I’ll be there! I am happy to provide some exercise and extra love to your pet(s)! I have some experience training dogs in the basics and am continuing to learn more, so I can help them to learn their leash manners if needed.

About: I'm a 10 year old cat mom and a dog auntie! I have taken care of both dogs and cats for years. I am familiar with giving animals, specifically cats, medicine (my cat has had urinary issues throughout the years) and I LOVE when my friends ask me to watch/play/walk their sweet doggies. I am currently working part time so my availability is very flexible. I work Wednesdays and Thursdays and have majority of the days open the remainder of the week. I respect boundaries and any specific notes that you have for your animals. They are a part of the family so when I enter the home I want them to feel safe and loved.

“They love Jill so much! They are so much better after seeing her.”

About: I absolutely love animals! My mom calls me the animal whisperer because every animal l meet loves me just as much. I believe it's because they know I'm a good person and they can trust me. Either way, your animal will be loved and looked after until their fur mom and fur dad gets home. I'm available all week 😄 you just let me know when you need me and I will be there for you and your fur babies ❤️ Unless the owner has a special way to care for their fur babies, then I just go with the flow. I do whatever makes their fur babies happy and have a great day while in my care.

About: I have had dogs and cats all of my life and my dogs have all lived very long and healthy lives. I’ve adopted them and taken in strays, including one that was pregnant and then had 8 very healthy puppies which we cared for, weaned and found permanent homes for. Several of my dogs have lived very long senior lives (21!) and I can give medications and special diets. I’ve also transported many dogs, large and small, to the vet. I take my dogs to the dog parks on a regular basis and have taken them on long trips too. I am available to dog walk and also watch them in fenced-in yards for potty breaks and play. I produced several “Pet Care" series for HGTV, DIY Network and TNN, including dog care segments with Dr. Craig Prior, owner of Murphy Road Animal Hospital and a very popular and well-known Nashville veterinarian, who was also my personal vet for many years. I’m retired so I’m available all days and times. And I love taking photos and videos of pets and would be able to share updates for clients. I am currently retired and am available all days and times. I do volunteering on a regular basis but can adjust that schedule as needed. I also do freelance Marketing and Development including grant writing for nonprofits, on my own time schedule. I have a fenced-in back hyard for my own dogs but also take them on walks and to the dog park. So I would be able to walk dogs as needed. I also know about safety in a home, including keeping food, liquids, cleaners and materials away from pets. My own Beagle can get ninto things easily so I always put things up. My dogs do not use crates but I know how to crate dogs too.

“Kate is a super person, very personable with a great personality. She clearly loves dogs and Kallie waits every day for her arrival! Highly recommend.”
