Dog Walking Walden

“Journey has taken care of my pup several times now. She communicates well and has been available for a few last minute requests which is super helpful for my unpredictable work schedule. She’s great!”

About: I've always had a passion for caring for animals & have had them in my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior animals with special needs. I volunteered for several years at a local animal shelter, where I spent time caring for cats and walking/training dogs. Having had an elderly dog myself, I know how to handle the specific needs of older pets too - managing mobility issues, administering medications, & ensuring they are comfortable and well cared for. I know just how hard it can be to have someone new care for your pet, so I prioritize communication. I'm happy to always send pics + regular updates to give you peace of mind & help you feel connected! Having a cat that needs fairly specific care, I'm committed to knowing & following your pet's specific care. If they need an active schedule with lots of walks and playtime or gentle care due to age or health concerns, I'll ensure they get the best attention possible. My goal is to make sure you & your pet are happy & comfortable while I’m watching them, so I always treat every animal as if they were my own fur baby. I have a very flexible work schedule, which makes it easy for me to accommodate your pet care needs, whether it's regular check-ins or walks/feeding. I’m able to ensure they get all the attention, exercise, & care they need :) As an attentive animal lover - whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime - I pay close attention & follow your pets usual routine. I take safety seriously - securing doors, gates, and following any specific instructions you provide. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy and cared for in their own familiar environment!

“JaNiya was amazing with my dog, Goose! I can always tell if he’s been well taken care of by how calm he is when I return from work. She even gave some love to my cat, too!”

About: I have nearly ten years of experience working with so many amazing animals. By working at three different pet resorts and two different veterinary clinics, I have gained so much knowledge and many helpful tips on how to ensure all dogs and cats that I care for are in the best hands possible. I am certified in pet CPR and am more than comfortable with feeding and medicating animals according to their preferences and needs. My favorite activity when taking care of the animals is spending quality time with them! Whether it’s going for a nice walk in the sunshine or lounging on the couch, I will always make sure that your fur baby feels safe, comfortable and happy!

About: I like dogs and I like getting outside and being active. If I can ever support/help you by taking your dog for a walk/run I would be honored! Sunday - Thursday: most often I'm available before 8AM and after 5PM. Friday and Saturday: with advanced notice I can make just about anything work! I've often been asked by friends to care for their pets when they go out of town and am always glad to do so. I seek to be someone who is reliable and keeps their commitments.

About: Hi! I’m Keira, a 21 year old lifelong dog lover from Chattanooga (Soddy-Daisy/Lakesite area) who’s completely obsessed with giving dogs the best care possible! I only take one house-sitting booking at a time so I can give your home and your pets my complete love and attention. Your fur babies will be my whole world while you’re away — I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and very loved every single day! I had the privilege of caring for my soul dog Charley (a mini schnauzer) for almost 10 years. During that time I learned so much about loving and caring for dogs — including giving daily subcutaneous fluids when he needed them. Because of him, I’m especially gentle and patient with senior dogs, but I also adore puppies and their endless energy! I’m very loving, attentive, and flexible with scheduling. Whether you need daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I treat every dog like they’re my own. Your fur baby will get lots of cuddles, playtime, and genuine affection while you’re away. I’d be honored to care for your dog (or cat! I’m very good with cats although I do have fewer years of experience with them!) Feel free to message me with any questions 💕 I’m currently between jobs so all of my focus is on animal care! I have a super open schedule so your furry friend will get so much attention and love!! I can’t offer care from my home, I live with too many people and would hate to stress out your pet, but I can come and stay in your home, whether it be overnight or drop-ins. I’m very good about feeding on time, watching the water bowl, giving frequent potty breaks, and taking a few walks throughout the day. I will also adhere to any special requests you may have for your pup!

“Sydney is wonderful with animals! Our dog Scooby took to her right away. She is very personable and you can tell she has a love for animals. We feel confident leaving our dog in her care.”

About: I am 37 and have been petsitting since I was in middle school. I have grown up with animals in my home. I also worked in a cat vet clinic when I was in college and have experience medicating and giving subQ fluids. I love walking and hiking with dogs and taking the dogs for car rides! I have also fostered cats and dogs for local rescues. I work full time Monday-Friday as a PreK teacher. My work schedule is 7:00-3:30. I am available most evenings and weekends for extra services, such as dog walking and outings. I have a fenced yard (chain link) and supervise their play. I have two friendly dogs (Husky mix and a pit bull mix) who would be around your dog or cat. My 5 cats roam the house freely. I can crate your dog(s) if needed while I am at work. If your pet stays in your home, I can offer up to 3 visits per day on weekdays, up to 4 on weekends depending on how far you are from my house. If you need care for a cat, you can choose to have them around my cats and dogs (must be up to date on vaccinations and parasite free) or I can have them in their own room.

About: I’ve been rescuing animals since I could talk: dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, lizards, turtles, anything with a pulse lol. I am a veterinary social worker with a passion in the animal human bond. I have recently started training to be a dog trainer. I have experience working with high energy dog breeds, puppies, kittens, and senior animals. Many of the skills that I use as a therapist are transferable to training and bonding with animals. It’s so exciting to connect the information I know about humans with working with animals. I work full time as a therapist and am gone for about 3-4 hours at a time. After 3-4 hours I come home to check on all animals. Weekends I am completely open. The day typically starts around 8am in my household and schedule may vary depending on the needs of the animals in my home. I have a fenced in yard and designated dog room for crating animals while I am away. It is important to me that your animals safety is top priority, so when unsupervised they will be crated in a room designed for their comfort. I have 2 friendly pups who have been through professional training & one cat who minds his own business. I have the ability to separate your animals from other animals if needed. I can accommodate various needs.

About: I am animal lover and I have been taking care of many animals (dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, spiders, reptiles, opossums, raccoon and you named it. They mean the world to me just like you. Make an appointment here, right away! I am free all day unless I get some appointments from them that’s it. Just give me an update when you can and we ll see from there. I can be in your house for your pet at anytime, overnight and or if you’re comfortable with not just babysitting but also bathing, cleaning with your specific instructions as well.

About: I’ve been a pet owner since I was a child and grew up on a farm, where caring for animals was part of my daily life. I had Boston Terriers along with a variety of other animals, and they were my responsibility, so I learned early on how to read animal behavior, stay patient, and provide consistent care. What sets me apart is that my schedule allows me to be flexible. I’m also reliable and able to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all ages, including puppies who need structure and basic training, as well as senior dogs who may require a slower pace, extra patience, or medication routines. I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on creating a calm, safe, and dependable environment so both pets and owners feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine alongside grad school. I plan my schedule so I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I keep my availability updated to stay consistent. During the week, I balance classes with pet care by organizing my day around walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I also keep my weekends more open, which allows me to take on additional bookings, longer visits, or overnight care. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. My goal is to keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship, while keeping their environment clean and secure. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and supervised environment where they can feel comfortable. I make sure they get regular walks, structured feeding times, and lots of interaction, while also giving them space to relax if needed. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, whether that’s high-energy play, basic puppy routines, or slower, gentle care for senior pets. My focus is always on making pets feel safe, cared for, and at home.

About: I am very experienced with giving animals medications(including injections)!! I’ve assisted in helping mommy horses deliver their babies!! I really love walking/ running with dogs!!

My dogs love to share all their toys!! Also close to restaurants that allow dogs, so I’d love to take your fur baby to outtings!

“Jessica was very polite and prompt. She took my dog for a run/walk and kept a pace that was comfortable for her (my dog). My dog came home happy and tired. I will definitely be hiring her again and would 10/10 recommend her.”

About: I am an avid animal lover. I specialize in high energy dogs. I have been caring for all kinds of animals my whole life. I have my own dog who i adore. My dog is very high energy and also has to take medication everyday. I trained my dog to sit, lay down, down, stay and leave it. Your animal will be treated like family.

She loves going to the dog park. I would love to take your dog for walks all the time.

“Hal took the time to really understand my dog's needs. He was always professional and very easy to work with. He sent me updates every time he walked Charleigh, and let me know when she was having an off day, which is very important to me as a senior dog owner. Charleigh also loved him!! I highly recommend Hal for taking care of your pet.”
