Doggy Day Care in Franklin

“Ashley is amazing! Would highly recommend to anyone. She has taken my puppy into her home during my long shifts and cared for him so well! I hadn’t left Pax with anyone before and so was anxious at first, but she sent me pictures and updates throughout the day so that I could see how he was doing and ask questions! She was always quick to respond and communicated well! He got home at the end of the day tired and well loved. 10/10 puppy care!”

“Alexis and her family were wonderful with my 7 month old mini poodle pup. We ended up in a big jam and needed last minute day care for four days. I sent an inquiry at 8:30 the night before, and Alexis responded within a couple of minutes! She was also great at reporting in and sending photos. My pup was well cared for and had a wonderful time playing with their darling young son and sweet dog. Big thanks to Alexis and her terrific family!!”

About: Current work schedule: Monday & Tuesday I am required in-office. Wed-Fri and flexible remote days where I can be home. Available for services with that in mind! Aside from growing up with small dogs all around, I have solo cared for my senior rescue for the last 6 years up until his passing of old age. I have experience with both puppy and senior dog care, and am very careful with any physical concerns such as arthritis. I have experience administering oral medication both through treats and syringing food. I will love to hang out with your baby whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just coexisting - I’ve done it all. The best feeling I have is knowing I’ve given my dog a life full of love and enrichment, and I’m happy to help as you do the same for yours. I also have owned a cat and cat sit for friends and am more than happy to drop in on them and show them some love! I am definitely also a huge cat lady. I am very patient and understanding that I am a visitor to your pet and I will respect their boundaries while they are under my care. In case of emergency, I already have Battleground (Royal Oaks), Bluepearl (Mallory) and Banfield (Carothers) info saved and have experience with all 3 vets in Franklin. I currently have a full time job, but am generally off by 3-4 and my nights and weekends are pretty open! Some days I work from home so I’m around the area. I currently live in a 1BR apartment, have a balcony but there are paths and a dog park even within my complex, so there’s no shortage of areas to walk! I always keep my babies on leash.

About: I have 6 dogs that are my kids. I am a stay at home dog mom. Your dog will be my dog while in my care. 5 are small and 1 medium sized. They are all fixed, UTD on shots and heartworm. I have 5 boys and a girl. All adopted from different states and shelters. They are between the ages of 10 and 12, and 1 senior who we believe is about 16. They are only crated at night and if I go out for an extended period of time, except Charlie, the old man, he is out 24/7. We live on a half acre, fully fenced back yard. We have a dog door, which is I usually open for periods when I'm home. They can get on the furniture if they want and I have dog beds throughout the house. My dogs typically get on very well with other dogs. I dog sit 2 dogs in my home a few times a year for a few days to a week at a time. 1 medium and 1 large. I have fostered various dogs for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue in the past and I have helped and run adoption events at Petco for about a year for Simpson County Animal Shelter/Friends of the Shelter in Franklin KY. I am a stay at home dog mom. I can pet sit any time of the day or week, for just a few hours, a day or overnights. I only leave the house to go to the store or run a few errands. Typically not out for extended periods. If I am dog sitting, I prefer to be at home as often as possible. I am always around my dogs. I have dog beds in all areas of the house. I keep an eye on them when they go outside. I play with them regularly. In case of emergency, the ER Vet is 10 minutes away, and my Vet is 10 minutes away. When I get a new foster dog, I usually will keep them leashed for a little while until they get acclimated and used to the other dogs. You, my customer are more than welcome to come into my house and yard and meet myself, and my dogs.

“I will definitely use Rebecca again. Leo jumped right into her arms when I dropped him off. It made me feel comfortable leaving him. She sent pictures and texted me. Thank you Rebecca!!!”

About: I’ve grown up in a dog family and have three fur babies myself. I love dogs more than most humans, and work from home, so I can easily provide a safe and fun space for your fur baby! I work from home, and have three small dogs who are already part of my routine. We look forward to adding yours to the mix! I have a fenced in yard, and three super friendly small dogs to keep them company. I love to play with them, take them on walks and can easily follow any instructions you have for your dog, as I know how important they are to you!

“Lisa is phenomenal! I was visiting from out of town, and she absolutely came to the rescue! She is caring, compassionate, responsible, intuitive, and joyful!!! My little dog LOVED going to day care at Lisa's and was at home immediately in Lisa's care. Please don't hesitate to use Lucy for your dog care needs. She is the best!!!”

About: Just moved from North Carolina to Tennessee! I recently retired from working in college athletics so I currently have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have a 9 year old basset hound/beagle mix so I understand our animals are our kids. I can give your pup love, fun walks or any medications needed. I work from home so I can be flexible with days and times on when I drop in. If needed a last minute in-home or boarding situation please let me know! I know the feeling when emergencies come up. Please write down anything that I need to be aware of and clear instructions on how to best care for your pet. Example, love walks but afraid of amazon/fedex trucks, starts to pull if they see another dog.

“Samantha gave consistent and thoughtful communication and feedback. She was punctual and responsive and made sure to keep me informed throughout the day about how things were going. Will definitely book again!”

“April is awesome !! I will definitely use her again. My little girl was comfortable and happy. Great sitter and her little dog is so adorable!”

About: Hi! ⭐️☺️ 🐾 When your pup comes to stay with me, they are truly treated as my own. They stay in the house with me and I stay home with them all day, as this is my full-time job, I stick to their schedules, and they do not stay crated. I ensure they get plenty of rest as well as plenty of playtime. Once you book with me, I will ensure that you know and feel you’ve made the right choice. I send a message the night before or the day of confirming the drop off time and I greet you outside upon arrival. Your pup will be staying, in a gated community, in the heart of Cool Springs. Shortly, after drop off, I send a video, photo, and verbal update so that you are able to see how your pup is settling in. Then for the remainder of their stay, I send a daily morning update as well as photos and videos throughout their stay. I am happy to provide any extra care you would like for me to such as brushing them, brushing teeth, feeding them, their supplements or medicine, as well as providing them the amount of exercise and play you would like. The screening process for the way I accept clients is very intentional. This ensures the peacefulness of my resort - for both me and the pups. I truly take my business to heart. Due to this, I do not accept aggressive behavior and I thank you for understanding. Thank you so much for taking the time to read about me in the care that I provide to these pups. I truly love what I do and it reflects in the level joy your pup will be in while they stay here, as well as at pick up. In regards to pick up, just like drop off, I will confirm with you, the day of, for the approximate pick up time so your pup and all their items can be gathered and ready. Please continue to read the rest of my bio, if you have made it this far, to see more details about the type of stay your pup will have. Also, do you take the time to read my reviews and look at my photo gallery, if you have not already! ______________________________ You’ve made it this far in my bio: here’s more! I am grateful you are inquiring to book with me 🐾🙏🐶 Welcome to every first time client with me - I am truly so grateful you found me! A LITTLE ABOUT ME: I have been a dog trainer for more of my life than not. It is truly my passion. I have also trained horses and even lived on a mini farm for 5 years! When your pup is with me it is truly as if they are in a pup like resort because they will be very much catered to their specific needs. I am very knowledgeable in many dogs breeds and then knowledgeable with dogs in general. I truly understand how hard it is to leave a pup with someone, or even a boarding facility. I used to work at one of the best ones in town and then decided I wanted to do Rover full time! HOUSE-SITTING REQUESTS: (providing care in your home) When I stay at your home, I stay with whatever you routine you already have. Both you and your dog can meet Marley girl at a meet and greet, if you’d like, so you can feel comfortable. We will discuss any questions then as well! I love when clients welcome me to their homes because it feels that much more like family. I send many updates when booked with me and will go above and beyond to ensure you are reassured and comfortable about your pups stay! WHAT TO BRING • Their Snuggly Bed, Blanket, and Stuffies ☺️🐾 • Food (bagged individually for each meal if you’d prefer - I always send the baggies bag home with you in case you’d like to reuse them!) • Food/Water Bowl if you prefer! • Toys • Treats if you want! • Collar • Leash DROPS-OFFS: I will always check in with you the night before or the morning of our booking, if (you) the owner has not already done so, to confirm drop off (unless I am providing a pick-up for you). When your headed this way, please let me know your approximate arrival time so I can be sure to be outside waiting for you with the greeting committee 🐶🐾🎊 I will also provide the gate code for you at this time. The dogs will the meet me and one another. I will collect your pups items from you. Of course you will say give your hugs and let your pup know you will back! The quicker the drop-off the quicker your pup will settle in. When your dog is under my care, I always send the owners a video or photos no later than 5-10 minutes into their drop-off. This will show you how well your dog has settled in quite quickly and it will allow you to be worry free about your pups stay: PICK-UPS: Much like drop-offs, I ensure pick-up is efficient so you can get home and relax (unless I am a sitter drop-off for you). For pick ups later than 8pm - I will ask if we can adjust this for an early morning next day pick up instead! Please understand that I run my Rover pick ups/drop offs from 8am to 8pm. I ask that you let me know when you are headed my way so that I can be outside in the driveway for you, with your pup(s), and your pups items ready to go. This will also ensure that I am not out on a walk with the dogs when you arrive, as sometimes I am not able to bring my phone on the walks. WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOU PUPS STAY: I always send the owners a video or photos no later than 5-10 minutes into their drop-off. This will show you how well your dog has settled in quite quickly and it will allow you to be worry free about your pups stay! The pups are fed on the same schedule you will tell me they are on, if it isn’t already in their profile). I will send a lot of photo updates and and at least one verbal update each day your dog is with me. The pups will always have fresh water, up to three walks a day, ball time (if they enjoy ball), and time to interact with other dogs if they find a new friend or two 🐾🐶🤗 **Please do not feel the need to reply back to the photos, videos, or updates** PUPPIES IN TRAINING: I will stay on top of the training your puppy is currently working on so that there is consistency, as I know how important it is! Please let me know what training to continue with and what the cues are and I will continue it. ELDERLY DOGS: I will always take an elderly or less active dog out, separate, from the more high energy and younger dogs. They will even get their own walks. I am able to provide medication or any other needs that may need to be catered to due to the condition of the dog. I will do what I can to ensure your pup also feels that he/she has been on vacation at a resort, as well. Your pup will go home happy as can be! Please do take the time and go through my photo gallery of the breed of dogs which I have cared for, for the types of fun photos you will be receiving, and to get a good idea on what your pups stay will be like. Also, be sure to read my reviews 🐾🎊🐶 Thank you for considering me as the care giver to your pup! I am able to provide 24/7 care because I will always be at home with the animals. This is my heart, this business, and I will continue to pour my heart into it! There will never be a time your dog will be left alone under my care. Potty breaks are always. Ball time is always. Bedtime is anytime they need to rest. Water is constantly provided and it is fresh. I am able to keep the dogs all separate when feeding and have not once had any issues with scheduling when it comes to drop off, pick up, feed times, and bedtimes. RESORT POLICY: I expect myself to ensure to maintain a peaceful environment for all pups under my care. This includes the dogs welcomed to the resort 🐾🫶💕. I keep an eye on every dog and make sure I do not take a dog in who may clash with another dogs personality. I am a certified obedience dog trainer so I am able to provide stable environment needed to prevent any type of aggression. I also am sure to ask plenty of questions about the dog I will be watching to ensure the safety of every dog and myself. I provide updates anytime you would like as well to provide you trust and security as well.

About: Have had pets most of my life. Had a Boston Terrier that walked 5+ miles a day. Have walked friends Boxers, doxies, Scottish Terriers and a coonhound mix. I work from home and have flexibility. If there’s a set time that your dog is used to walking, I will do my best to stick to their routine. We will need to discuss your pets habits & how/if I can be a fit for their habits. Typically will walk 30 minutes or let out back, clean up after them & let them back inside. And if crated, place them back in their crate.

“Sunny Acres has been such a blessing to our dog and our family! We love that our golden doodle puppy can play in a wide open space with other dogs and love his best life while we’re out of town! It was very evident that our dog was extremely loved and cared for during his stay! We will definitely be booking another visit again soon! Thank you for giving us peace of mind that our furry family member was taken care of in our absence.”

“What a wonderful first experience for Spencer?, feeling so comfortable and getting lots of attention. This helped so much for his high anxiety snd rough moving transition to our new home. Thank you Caroline for loving on my boy so well, helping him to be a little more active and interactive…he was exhausted last night and slept his best night since we got here. Look forward to many more days together.”

About: New to Rover as of June 2025 but not new to the pet care profession. I have over 11 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets, including my own animals and those I’ve fostered through rescue organizations. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life but over the past 11 years I have volunteered at various animal shelters and provided the services offered on Rover through other platforms and websites! I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages—from newborns to seniors—and pets with medical conditions, special needs, and behavioral challenges. I also have experience with birds, rabbits, and some reptiles. My family owns a farm so I have experience providing care for farm animals as well! What sets me apart is my ability to quickly assess and adapt to each pet’s unique personality and requirements. I’m especially patient and attentive with nervous or reactive animals, and I’m experienced in administering medications, maintaining structured routines, and creating calm, secure environments for animals in transition. Fostering has also given me valuable experience with socialization, basic training, post-surgery care, and working with pets recovering from trauma or neglect. I genuinely love building trust with animals and helping them feel safe, which is something pet owners consistently appreciate when they leave their companions in my care. ____________ A little more about me: I’m a licensed social worker (non-practicing at the moment) and a part time esthetician student. I’m a Nashville native and the oldest of four kids in my family. I’m a bit of an extroverted introvert—I enjoy my alone time and being home as much as possible but I could talk to just about anyone about anything. I have a kitten and an adult kitty that live with me full time full time, and a senior (family) dog that lives with me a few months out of the year (my parents snowbird in FL). I currently don’t have any commitments until the end of August! So I accept bookings any time or day unless I have appointments or another commitment. This is my only job, and I’m currently on a break from school (I am usually in school during the week). STARTING AUGUST 22nd: I am in school starting 8/22/2025 from Tuesday-Friday 9am-2pm. But can do drop ins and walks during my lunch break from 11:30-12:30. When caring for pets, safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow all instructions from the owner, including dietary needs, medications, walking preferences, and any behavioral considerations. I make sure the home environment is pet-proofed—keeping hazards like wires, cleaning products, and choking risks out of reach. I also monitor pets closely for any signs of distress, illness, or unusual behavior and will notify the owner immediately if anything seems off. Building trust with both the pet and their owner is equally important. I take time to get to know each animal’s temperament, routines, and comfort zones so they feel safe and secure in my presence. Whether in my home or theirs, I maintain a calm, structured environment, offer plenty of positive attention, and create a consistent routine that pets can rely on. For in-home services, I’m respectful of the client’s space—leaving things clean and secure, and keeping communication open with daily updates, photos, and check-ins so the owner feels confident their pet is in good hands.

About: I volunteer at the local animal shelter, where I train dogs on loose leash walks, working walks, obedience, place and recall, and full kennel routines. I have my own business and work out of my home, so my hours are flexible to walk your dogs and/or pet sit or care for your dogs in my homes. I have a fenced in yard and no pets in my home. I have one large crate for crate training your pet if it’s needed.

About: ive always had a special love for animals. any animal i encounter i treat how i would treat my own. i have lots of love to give and can’t wait to see your little fur babies. i’m currently working from home on my own schedule so i can take care of your babies at anytime of the day. available for boarding all week I have a dog park in my apartment complex with plenty of room for your babies to run free. i also have a dog of my own to keep your baby company while staying with us
