Dog Walking In Southside

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: 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.

“Thomas was amazing with my puppy & she gravitated towards him from when she first saw him. Beautiful spirit and grate with my baby. In grateful for the time you spent walking her for me. And I highly recommend.”

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: Pets have always been a central part of my life. I grew up with dogs and have cared for them over the years, and I’ve had cats my whole life. I know how to read their behavior, keep routines consistent, and make sure your pet feels at ease whether you’re gone for a few hours or a few days. I work full time but I have plenty of flexibility to take care of your pet! I go into the office 3 times a week but I am off work by 3:30pm. I can do early mornings, late nights and weekends! I come to your home, so your pet gets to stay exactly where they’re most comfortable — in their own space, with their own smells, routines, and hiding spots. I follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, litter box preferences, or which spots are off-limits. I’ll always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

“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!”

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.

“Olivia is responsible, a great communicator, and always on time. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been a dog walker and pet-sitter for my neighbors since I was 12. I have watched dogs of all sizes, cats, and lizards. I have a dog of my own that lives with my parents, as well as a tortoise. I have experience with all different sizes and types of animals. I work part-time, and I live alone, so I will have plenty of time to care for any animals. I adore dogs and reptiles, and spending time with them brings me so much joy. I have a small yard to take dogs out to - they will need to be leashed. I also live in a walkable neighborhood so they will get ample walk time. My apartment is large and they will have plenty of space to stretch out. For reptiles, I have plenty of space to keep them/ their enclosure in a safe area.

“Another good week w Riley for our 5-yr old, lively dog. Riley is consistently on time, positive, and ready to walk. She is attentive to his pace, especially in very hot weather. She always gives 150%.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love taking care of them. I love playing with them and making them feel extra loved. I carry excessive amounts of free time during summer and I would love to fill it by taking care of animals. I will be able to work around other peoples schedules with ease. I have a fenced yard with 2 furry friends for them to play with. We can run around and play with balls and toys and I am very generous with the treats so they will feel loads of love. I will take them on walks and any other service asked for.

“Erin is the best, she updates me on everything that happened during the walk and my dog is always so excited to see her. Book her if you’re smart!”

Carolyn O.

“Jessica was wonderful with Rizzo who has previously been too scared to go with other walkers! She was communicative, showed up on time, and always took pics! We’ll use her again”

About: I grew up on a hobby farm caring for chickens, dogs, cats, and just about every animal in between, so being around animals has always been second nature to me. I was also actively involved in 4H and FFA, which taught me responsibility, attention to detail, and how to confidently care for animals with different needs and personalities. I started pet sitting in Nashville in 2019 after moving here to pursue my music business degree, and since then, my business has grown entirely through referrals and repeat clients. I’m proud to say many of my clients have trusted me with their pets for years because I truly care for every animal like they’re my own. I have experience with overnight house sitting, drop-ins, walks, feeding routines, medications, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. I also know how important communication is, so I always provide updates with photos and pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and routines. I like to joke that I become your pet’s second favorite human, but earning their trust and making them feel happy and cared for is genuinely the best part of what I do! I am a musician so my work comes and goes. I have a lot of free time to work around so pet sitting is perfect! I make sure that I have clear expectations from all of my clients on what is/isn’t acceptable in their home. I make detailed notes to make sure everyone is happy with the routine!
