Dog Walkers in Taft, TN

About: Working in a groomer’s shop taught me how to safely and confidently handle dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I also grew up around animals and now have 2 Golden Retrievers and a cat of my own, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have experience with basic obedience training, crate training, housetraining, and helping pups learn good habits. I’ve also cared for a variety of other animals such as cats, rats, hamsters, and birds. I work remotely and set my own schedule, so I’m home all day with plenty of time to spend with my own dogs and yours. We live on 2 fully fenced acres, so the dogs get lots of outdoor time, play breaks, and supervision throughout the day. Every pet is different, and you know your pets best. I’m happy to follow whatever routines or preferences you have - feeding schedules, crate time, training rules, meds, anything you need. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, comfortable, and loved just like they are at home. I do slow, supervised introductions and keep a close eye during playtime to make sure everyone feels relaxed and secure.

About: I have take care of many different pups of all breeds and personalities. This includes my own, family and friends, volunteering at shelters and even the local dog wash. I'm currently starting school part-time so I'll have plenty of time to walk, take care of, and play with your pets! I'm mostly available with flexibility and depending upon my schedule, some days I'm fully free! I'm very cautious in following instructions and needs of any pet. I'm good at keeping pups at a good walking pace, I love playing with pets to keep them active, and I'll set extra timers and keep set schedules for your pet's eating habits.

“Kaitlyn was great and super quick to respond! She came over on very short notice after a cancellation to play with my puppy for a little while.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and love taking care of them. I’m able to go for long walks or just snuggle on the couch, whatever your dog needs. I’m currently a stay at home mom to 2 kids so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I’ll be home with your pets the majority of the day when they stay with us. I don’t currently have a fenced in yard so the dogs will have to be leash trained when they stay at my house. We’ll go for long walks around the neighborhood.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, and while my parents are away I go over and house sit and take care of their dogs. I also watch my neighbors dogs while they are on vacation. I’m currently working part-time and will be finishing up my college semester. During summer I will have a lot of free time during mid-day to check in on your babies! My dogs are like household members so I treat them with respect and give them lots of love. I take them out, and take them for walks when needed and they love to go for drives (especially when it ends with pupcups.)

About: One thing that sets me apart is my firsthand experience caring for a reactive dog of my own. That experience taught me how important patience, consistency, body language awareness, and calm handling are when working with dogs who may be anxious, overstimulated, fearful, or slow to trust new people. Because of that, I’m very mindful of creating a safe, low-stress environment where pets can feel comfortable at their own pace. I’m experienced with maintaining routines, managing different energy levels, and recognizing behavioral cues before situations become stressful. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy breeds, and pets who need extra patience or structure. I also know how important communication is to pet parents, so I provide reliable updates, photos, and detailed check-ins for peace of mind while you’re away. Because I run my own special education advocacy business, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive pet care throughout the week. My work gives me the ability to accommodate a variety of schedules, including daytime visits, overnight stays, weekends, and many holiday needs. I’m able to plan my schedule carefully so pets receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship rather than rushed drop-ins. Flexibility also means I can better adapt to pets with specific routines, medication schedules, anxiety needs, or extra potty breaks. I care for pets by focusing on keeping their routine as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and affection based on their individual personality and needs. I understand that many pets feel safest in their familiar environment, so I try to maintain the routines they’re used to while also keeping the home clean, secure, and well cared for. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and energy levels so I can adapt care appropriately, whether a pet needs active play, mental stimulation, quiet companionship, or extra patience. My experience owning a reactive dog has made me especially mindful about creating calm interactions and respecting each animal’s comfort level and boundaries.

About: I have about 4 years of professional pet care under my belt and have been the go-to animal person for friends and family my whole life. I’m also in the beginning stages of my vet tech program so I bring both big-heart energy and growing clinical knowledge to every fur-baby I meet. I’m comfortable with insulin, oral/topical meds, and special-care routines so pets who need a little extra TLC are always safe with me. I adore every kind of personality: the shy pups who need quiet patience, the goofy wiggle-butts who throw their whole body into love, the sweet seniors, and even the spicy little ones with big opinions. They’re my kind of crowd 🐾 Since my vet tech program is online, I have tons of flexibility and am available 7 days a week for drop-ins, walks, and overnights. I love having extra time to play, cuddle, and make sure your fur babies feel safe, happy, and absolutely adored while you’re away! I take safety and comfort very seriously and follow each pet’s routine so they feel secure in their own space. I’m Fear Free Certified, with a deep understanding of animal body language, so I use gentle handling, slow introductions, and lots of positive reassurance—especially for shy or nervous pets. I’m confident caring for dogs and cats with medical needs and always take a calm, gentle approach. In your home, I make sure food and water dishes are clean and refreshed, including water dispensers, and I’m comfortable managing all types of litter boxes, even the finicky ones, leaving your space just as tidy as I found it (maybe with a little extra sparkle thanks to my OCD). And of course, I’ll send plenty of updates so you’ll know how your furry kiddos are doing💛

“Gregoria was a blessing during our trip. She took both my babies on walks and feed and gave them water while we were out of town for the weekend. Thanks so much Gregoria!”

About: I have been a Pet Sitter, for cats and dogs, and I have walked dogs for my family and friends for years now. Pet Care has become a passion of mine! I have no problem keeping up with high-need or active animals. I am good at keeping animals calm and non-destructive by keeping them entertained and making sure they get their proper exercise. I have helped train 2 dogs recently. I am also good with older pets who may need a bit extra help. I am a part time worker so I have lots! Of time to play around with your pets! I am available most weekdays for casual things while I am available weekends for boarding! I have a big fenced in backyard that your pet can run around in! I have a older male Sheepadoodle that can keep your pet company. And you will always have the choice to ask for them to be kept separate. I will clean your pet’s paws with baby wipes after they come in from outside so that they return to you squeaky clean! I am located in a house so space is not an issue for your pet, and I can provide toys!

About: I love taking care of animals. I have been dog sitting for a long time, I have a customer that she trusts me enough to come and dog sit when their are puppies around 3 weeks old. I am passionate about taking care of our 4 legged friends. I am currently looking for a job so as of right now I’m free everyday so far. I am pretty flexible when it comes to dog sitting. I respect people wishes, I try to give their pets the best service and love as I can. I make sure they are fed and have plenty of water, I also make sure they aren’t home alone for to long.

About: I joined Rover full-time in 2023. Prior to Rover I had been pet sitting for friends and family occasionally for at least 5 years. I absolutely love taking care of all kinds of animals. Cats, dogs, bearded dragons, bunnies, frogs, anything really. I have experience taking care of senior and disabled cats and dogs. I have also taken care of many dogs that are considered reactive. I don’t have experience with very young puppies but I have taken care of a few older puppies. Since this is my full-time job, I am willing to accept requests whenever I’m available. I do require meet and greets prior to accepting new clients. For all services, I will be sure to follow whatever instructions are provided to me. I do ask that you please give me clear instructions so I can work to the best of my ability. For dog walks, please provide me with a map of the route you usually take.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Indoor or outdoor, I know each animal has a different personality, and I am very patient and understanding when it comes to pets. I’m definitely an animal lover and would love to take care of your pet and provide a positive and enriching experience. Please consider me! ❤️ My primary job is Airbnb management, which is done from mostly my phone, so I have plenty of room to operate off of your time/schedule. I have a fenced in back yard (great for dogs) and a screened in sunroom (cats love it) and am very respectful when it comes to other peoples property.

About: Since I was vey young I always had a special bone in my body for animals especially dogs. They're the joy in our hearts and the light of our lives. I live my life by the motto: I want to be the person my dog believes I am. I am sweet, loving, stern, and giving to my furry friends. I enjoy the presence of dogs & cats but I cannot have cats in my home due to an allergy in the family. I love to cuddle them and reward them for their good behavior. Feeding time is the happiest time for us! Walks are so comforting and much appreciated, I am fit and love going on walks. Thanks So much Jessi. Animal lover 💕 Open Availability for cuddles. I love spending time with dogs and cats. I miss my furbaby so much recently lost her to cancer and this has been helping me so much. I have a fenced back yard and cool AC indoor home. I love snuggling with pups and taking them out as needed. I am even able to make them homemade meals if necessary :)

“Audrey confirmed a booking at such short notice and I appreciate her for that. She was very communicative and handled my pup with so much care! It was cold and wet outside , yet she made sure he did the business he wanted to do.”
