About Us

Our Story

Established in 2008, Waggy Tails Pet Sitting + Dog Walking is a locally owned and operated small business, that grew out of Summer, the owner’s, true love for creatures big and small. From humble beginnings as one-person-operation, Waggy Tails has grown into a professional team of pet sitters and dog walkers located throughout the greater Knoxville area, serving hundreds of families and their four-legged “kids.” With over 5 years of experience in the pet care industry, we’re proud to say we have exceptional online reviews, and multiple clients that readily refer us to their friends and family. We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Most importantly though, we all love our jobs and thrive in the care of pets. Our promise to you is exceptional, unbeatable service. We want all of our clients to wonder how they managed before they met Waggy Tails!

Meet Summer, Owner + Manager

summerfamily Hi! I am Summer, Owner + Manager of Waggy Tails! I absolutely love what I do, and it shows in my devotion to the business I have grown over the past 6 years. I enjoy working with all of our furry clients (and their humans too, of course!).

I’ve lived in the greater Knoxville area for all of my life, and currently share my life with my two 4-legged canines, Sierra and Chloe; my 2-legged daughter, Paige, and son, Trevor; and my husband, Brett. I hold my Master’s Degree in Education from the University of Tennessee (go Vols!). Since 2009, I’ve spent countless hours providing great pet care and customer service to our clients. I’m excited to learn more about you and your pets, and how we can provide your pet with the best in-home care available!
