Waggy Tails was founded in January 2009 and is a Knoxville and Oak Ridge, Tennessee based company.

Owner - Summer Zuck Tannhauser

Summer Zuck Tannhauser is the owner and leader of the

Waggy Tails  team. Throughout her life Summer has been surrounded by pets including dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. Growing up she often spent her days taking walks through the woods of East Tennessee with over 10 neighborhood dogs tagging along! Animals have been a life long love of hers. After graduating from college with a Masters in Elementary Education she established her life in Knoxville, meeting her husband Brett and taking a job as an elementary school teacher in Knox County. They now happily live in Fountain City with 3 dogs of their own!

With the founding of Waggy Tails Summer has made the commitment to follow her dream of owning a business based around one of the greatest loves in her life - PETS! As a pet owner she knows the need for a quality pet sitter to be available to not only take excellent care of pets' needs when their owners are way, but also to show them undivided love and affection. It is the goal of Waggy Tails to be that type of pet sitters for your pets!  Check out our Knoxville Dog Blog for more information about pet sitting and local pet events.

Waggy Tails is fantastic! I have complete peace of mind when I am away knowing they are taking great care of my fur baby. I would recommend them to anyone.

Thank you, Waggy Tails, for taking such good care of Winston while I was away. I had such peace of mind knowing that he was being checked on throughout the day. You went above and beyond, and I will definitely be using your services in the future. Thank you!

Waggy Tails provided prompt, friendly service for our dogs. They seemed healthy and happy when we returned. I would recommend the service to all of my dog friends.

Enzo and Maddie love Waggy Tails! The special playtime in the middle of the day is great! When work is busy and your special babies aren't getting enough of your TLC call Waggy Tails = extra love, time, and attention, so you can work guilt free! And they can even get a bath too! Thanks Summer!
