Dog Walking Silsbee

About: I have had cats and dogs all my life. I love taking care of animals, so much I know how to bottle feed baby kittens. I have had a range of dog sizes to care for in my life ranging from chihuahuas to siberian huskies. I love all animals and love taking care of them. I am currently a full time student until December, and I have a pretty much open schedule with only one in person class. I can visit your furbabies any day from 7am-5pm! My cats are free-feed babies, their litter boxes are changed daily and dumped weekly. My dogs are kennel fed out of pure safety, as well as walked on leashes until their recall is adequate. I will not be leash-less with a dog unless stated otherwise by owner.

About: I’ve had friends of family rely on me to drop by and make sure their pets are fed, watered, and let out for potty breaks. I do work full time but I work one week on and one week off. So I’m able to do a few jobs a day. I’m only available on the weeks that I don’t work I am able to walk your dog or drop in and help feed and water and take your dog out for potty breaks and play with them for a little bit.

“Chase has been super awesome! This was my first time using rover and I was not disappointed. Very friendly, professional and respectable. Dakota has made a friend for life, and we plan on continuing for as long as we can!!”

About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes in all stages of life from puppy to elderly. I have had many different kinds of pets throughout my life. I currently work part time and from home some so I'm home quite a bit to take care of your babies. I'm not away from home long periods of time. I have a fenced in yard to keep them safe. I have 4 dogs, 2 cats, and a kiddo to keep your baby busy while you're away.

About: I’ve spent many years taking care of animals ranging from dogs, all the way to snakes. I’m a firm believer that all animals should have a loving home, and an even more loving owner. I have a very flexible schedule, and will always put your companions needs before my own. I am currently working part time. Just 16 hours a week. So I have plenty of time to put your pets needs first. I usually only work 4 hours so morning walks are always available. I have a fenced in yard, and one small dog. He’s extremely sweet and doesn’t attack other animals. But I won’t let them outside together, that way they will be comfortable in a new environment.

About: Whenever I was in highschool I spent the whole school year at the vets office for a class. I have always loved all animals, and made sure that they were always safe and well cared for. I have also rescued a few reptiles, I have some of my own. Rover is my summer job, most of the time I’m at home, so I’m available a lot. I’m starting college in fall so this money would go towards that. I have a fenced yard, no dogs, but I do have inside cats. When I did have a dog I treated her like a baby and I would do the same for yours.

About: I’ve taken care of my pets as well as family pets since I got my first cat back in 2010 when I was 7 years old. I have my own cat that I take care of. I feed her and take out her litterbox every day. She’s an indoor cat so she remains close to me at all times. I’ll follow whatever instructions that are provided. I’m used to dealing with my indoor cat. However our neighbors have outdoor cats that roam around and I hang out with them all the time.

About: I have over 25 years experience as a bull breed breeder and dog shower. My family bred and showed Chows and Sharpei thru the 80's and 90's, and we bred and raised American Bulldogs until 2017. I also have done many rescues and have extensive knowledge of potty training, and am very well read on dog behavior and socialization. I would love to use my passion for dogs to help you and your family. Dogs and I have a very special understanding. I have cared for packs as large as 17, and as small as one. Every dog I have ever met holds a special place in my heart. I'll treat each dog like it is my very own, in my home or in yours. In my home, I have an old retired American Bulldog mama who is 9 years old. She is 120lbs of sassy mommy! I have two medical needs chihuahuas, and a french bulldog. I own my own pet transport business. We provide ground transportation and in cabin flight services for dogs and cats! I love everything about animals and they are my life! We do a slow introduction to my existing pack of four! Dogs are never left unattended when we have guests. Dogs eat as a pack and go out as a pack.

“I’ve had Melissa walk my dog a few times now. I can tell she really loves what she does and my dog is always so happy to see her! She sends plenty of photos and maintains an open line of communication. Book with her and your pup will be in great hands!”

About: Hi! I am Reagan I have over 10 years of personal pet care experience. I have previous experience dog and house sitting for family friends. I would like to further my experience and knowledge by working with other animals besides my own. I can handle a range of dog sizes from large to small and accommodate to their needs. I am very patient and I am willing to work with any any animal young or old. I hope you take interest in my services and I am willingly to work around your work or personal schedule! I do have a full time job that I work during the day! I would prefer to have walks scheduled in the morning or later in the after, as to beat the intense midday heat, but would be willing to work around this. I have my own reliable transportation, that has the room to carry multiple or larger animals. I am prepared to plan a walking route in your neighborhood or, if you prefer it, a nearby park.

About: Brand new to this site, but not new to pet care! Please consider giving my services a chance. I have my own dog training/pet care business outside of this site but figured I'd sign up here to get some more reach. I have had animals of all kinds throughout my life time. From cats and dogs to rats and snakes, I've cared for a large variety of pets. There was even a raccoon I pet sat at one point! My true passion though falls with dogs! I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian but changed my career path when I found my love and affinity for dog training in highschool. Ever since, I have studied and researched dog body language, training techniques, and other fun interactive activities and sports that can be done with dogs such as canicross or dock diving! Now my dream job is to become experienced enough to train service dogs for those in need, while also running a board and train facility. Outside of my own pets, I've also trained/cared for puppies and pet sat senior dogs and pregnant dogs. One pregnant dog actually went into labor during the time I was pet sitting, so I have experience handling dogs in labor. Additionally. I have experience administering medications and am knowledgeable on how to perform CPR and the Heimlich maneuver on dogs and cats. I have had to perform the heimlich once on one of my own dogs when she began to choke on a treat she'd been chewing on. I currently work a full time job at a local pet store, but I work around my retail work hours to provide care for both my pets and the pets of those who entrust me with them. I wake up early to care for pets before work, I use my hour lunch break to care for pets and after work I make my way out to care for pets before going back home to take care of my pets. My days consist of nothing but pet care around the clock! While I am adaptable to any schedule or routine set by a client, here is my own general routine for my own pets as an example of my care: My own pets are on a daily routine. My dogs get let out in the morning to potty and play while I prep breakfast for all my pets (3 cats, 2 dogs). After breakfast, my doberman lays down in her crate for an hour nap to avoid developing bloat and my corgi goes back outside to play with my mom's dog. My cats typically will take a nap after breakfast and lounge around. After an hour, my doberman goes back outside to play and I will go out to throw toys and play fetch or tug with them all. At 2pm, the dogs all come in for an hour or two nap time and then are let back outside to play. Around this time I will take one of my cats outside on a leash to let him explore. My cats are all indoor cats and typically don't show any interest in going outside, but he does so I felt this would be a safe way to let him do so. I also intend to build a little catio window unit for my bedroom to allow my cats a safe way to experience being "outside" without risk. Due to all my cats being 10+ years old, they spend most of their day relaxing, sitting in windows and watching the birds and squirrels outside. At about 8pm the dogs come inside and usually settle down and relax until dinner between 9:30pm and 10:30pm. After all my pets eat their dinner, the dogs will go to their crates to rest until I lay down for bed and let them out to join me. Typically I would not leave my dogs outside for such a long time, however I am currently living with my parents to help with my mom's disability and my dad prefers the dogs spend more time outside. Because of this I do try to find days to take my dogs out on walks in parks nearby. When I lived in Oklahoma, I would occasionally take them hiking as well. Thankfully, my parents do have a large enough fenced in back yard that the dogs have lots of room to run and play when I'm unable to take them out for an adventure. Once a month I give my dogs an oral flea and tick preventative. Every 2-3 months I will also fully groom my dogs. I shampoo and condition their fur, trim their nails, brush their teeth, clean their ears and moisturize their fur and paw pads. Nail trimmings are done more frequently, at least once a month if not twice, to ensure their nails don't grow too long. They do a lot of running outside, which helps manage the length between trimmings.

About: I have always had dogs and had a several dogs growing up. I currently have two dogs that I love one of which has heartworms. So I have experience caring for dogs who need medicine and extra care. One of my dogs is also senior so I understand the requirements that come with caring for older dogs. This will be my first time working as a pet sitter but I have lots of experience around animals. I currently work full-time, but I am able normally completely free on the weekends. I also work near downtown Kingsport so I am able to leave on my lunch break to do dog walking. I do travel around the area a lot for my job and sometimes work late so I may not always be nearby or able to walk dogs very frequently through the weekday. I will be as attentive as possible when watching dogs in your home. I will also be respectful to your space and follow whatever rules I am given.

About: I have experience with small hyper dogs like Chihuahua dogs, sassy bulldogs, and intelligent pit bulls. I am also Cat friendly! I have been a dog owner for all my life and recently just got a cat. I am a responsible pet owner who will take great care for your loved fur baby! I will send any information needed to make you comfortable and know where your pet is! I have a list of parks where I can walk dogs where they are safe and welcomed. I have supplies such as portable water bowl and toys. I will hydrate your pet and may offer treats with your approval! I have experience with most dog personalities. I will be attentive and make sure your pet is taken care of and safe. They say do what you love and it won’t feel like work. I will make time for what I love. I think pets are therapeutic and fun I always ask what the client feels comfortable with, we take lots of photos. If there is anything in specific that you think I can think of please feel free to message me about it !

“Our Lab was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and were advised from our vet to keep him out of doggie day camp for the week for his well being and that of the other dogs. Taylor responded within minutes to me and we could tell our boy was content with Taylor's visits/walks this past week. As a bonus, she included daily pictures which was appreciated. We had a very positive experience with Taylor and will reach out to her the next time we need our Lab in good hands.”

About: Being a versatile person and lifelong pet mom, I've experienced animals in all stages of life from bottle feeding kittens to teaching old dogs new tricks. It is possible. I currently have two senior cats, both since they were kittens. In 15 years they've had unique situations and varried interests that we as a family have adapted to such as traveling, fostering, and aging. Currently I am carrying for a senior dog that has weather anxiety and likes pillow forts in bad weather. Also with me is a 2 year old foster who loves the park and snuggles but is not good around some small dogs. I was able however to acclimate the large dogs to living peacefully with my two cats. It was a precarious situation at first. Both dogs love car rides as well as one of my cats. He might think he's a dog. I do my own pet bathing and grooming (trimming nails...polish, brushing, ECT.) I have also raised puppies and have worked with and house trained both cats and dogs. While walking the dogs we work on their social skills when encountering other people and animals. I have a flexible schedule, however, with a part time job I will need advanced notice to coordinate my schedule to meet the needs your pet. Short term and long term assignments accepted. I'm looking forward to meeting your pet! I would prefer to care for your pet in its home. My animals are still working on socializing. In time this may change however we currently can't have guests.

About: I genuinely love dogs and grew up with at least 3+ dogs in the house. I have spent over 5 years caring for dogs of all personalities. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality, energy level, and routine so they feel safe and happy. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just extra attention and cuddles, I make sure every dog feels loved, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I am a personal trainer. Most days I’m finished with work around 10/11 AM and don’t return until 4 PM or later, which gives me a large midday window to focus fully on dog care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and attention during the day, as well as evenings and weekends. I love spending my free time with dogs and making sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and consistency. I have a fully fenced yard and one very friendly dog who loves to play or nap providing a safe and social environment. I closely supervise all interactions and follow each dog’s routine carefully. I’m comfortable using crates if provided by the owner. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and loving space where your dog feels comfortable and cared for.
