As a lifetime dog owner, I know how hard it can be to leave town with a dog at home! I offer a VERY reasonable rate in my home with myself and my 20 pound male fixed pup. I will only take one dog at a time, so your pup will have all day love and care! 2x a day walks for up to an hour, depending on the needs of your dog, plus trips to the Park if your dog enjoys that. Obviously, your dog must be dog friendly, vaccinated and flea treated. I highly prefer dogs to be fixed. He or she will be welcomed on furniture and never crated unless you prefer. Day rates are equally reasonable and include walks, feeding, love and playtime---all completely customized to the needs of your pup. This is why I only offer *this* service in Nashville proper: I want to be able to see dogs more often and for a longer duration of time! Additionally, if there is ever a need, I can provide extra visits at a moment's notice. If you leave town and you have the kind of dog who would be happier in your home and is okay alone overnight, I can schedule a before bed visit and a morning visit as early as 6am! My rates are astoundingly reasonable because this is not my main source of income: my office for my "real job" is in my home, so I am so flexible with my time. I know how stressful it is to leave a pet behind---adding exorbitant fees to that makes a vacation or a trip something you look forward to a little less. I do know CPR and again, I can administer meds and injections (with a proper introduction by the pet parent). Gathering mail and watering plants, no problem. I have references! Mahalo! About this sitter: A lifelong dog owner/lover with a flexible schedule and a pup of her own that LOVES friends. Why I love dog sitting I was born into a household with a dog, and from then on, there was only approximately 6 months of my life with my parents without one! I adopted a beagle, Wiley, as a freshman in college. I know, ridiculous, but it must have been okay because we were together for almost 14 years. After a year passed, I found my Emmett while tentatively for browsing rescue dogs. He was 90 miles away, but on his last day, which happened to have been the same date I rescued Wiley all those years ago. Fate! Meet my pets Emmett: the shaggy wonder! My experience administering medication While I do not have a cat now, I had my Tucker for 16 years. As he was diabetic for the last few years of his life, I became skilled at injections. Pills too are no problem.
