Dog Boarding in Gallatin

Member of Pet Sitters International, bonded and insured.

Diane and Gabe have been involved with various animal rescue programs for more than 25 years and have owned dogs and cats as well. We are very experienced with large breed dogs. We are also very experienced with administering shots and medications to both dogs and cats. Gabe was a vet tech for 1 year. We have always advocated spay and neutering of pets and even have been involved in feral cat trapping and funding spay and neuters through the snip and tip program. Your dog or cat will be treated like family in our care.

We are sensitive to anxiety in dogs and cats and know how to handle this kind of situation. Your dog or cat will enjoy themselves with us guaranteed! We are both avid animal lovers and will provide veterinary references as well as fellow rescuers.

I've grown up with dogs. I currently watch dogs in my home on a regular basis. I have experience with puppies and dogs of all sizes and ages. I have a dog friendly cat and an adorable, 7-year-old Maltipoo. I love dogs and love making them comfortable, happy and spoiled when away from home.I have experience with training, potty training and even dogs with specials needs. My house is their house. They are welcome to roam free and will have access to the full house.

I work full-time from home, owning my own cleaning business. I will be home during most days and only gone for an hour, at most, if I have to leave for any reason. I will feed them, according to your preferred schedule and will be liberal with treats, if that is acceptable. I have a fenced in, half acre back yard that is accessible by a doggie door in our Zen Den, complete with couches, bean bags and lots of toys for the pups. Your dog will be treated with the utmost care and respect and will be loved unconditionally while here. I will text photos and updates, daily.

Hello Pet Parents!

My name is Jill and this is my husband, Anthony. We have 3 boys (ages 8, 11 & 13), and we live in a nice, quiet, walkable neighborhood in Old Hickory, TN. My family & I LOVE dogs, and we have been around them our whole lives. I had a dog, Tootsie, and a hamster, Scooter, growing up and helped my parents watch dogs when I was a teenager. My husband also had pets growing up. After getting married, my husband & I found a puppy that we fell in love with, Franny Mae. We had her for over 14 years, but she unfortunately passed away in August 2018. We are not ready to own a dog of our own but would love to meet new furry friends, care for them, and love on them like they're our own.

We homeschool our children and my husband works from home, so someone is home most of the time. When we all leave, we are rarely gone for long hours and our schedule is FLEXIBLE. Our yard is fenced-in and has lots of space for your dog(s) to run around and be played with by our family. Besides playing, we like to give belly rubs, treats, & cuddles.

We hope to meet you and your pup (or pups) soon!!!😊

My family has been blessed with an additional "furry" member my entire life. Together we have learned how to train and love our pets with the knowledge they are extremely intelligent, lovable and loyal companions. I would love to open my home to your companion, with loving arms and playful boys that will care for your pet as if he/she were our own. Thank you for your consideration!

Why I love dog sitting

I have been a dog lover since I was six years old. We have always had a dog or two growing up. As a family, we learned how to train dogs,how to breed them, and how to treat them with love and respect.

Meet my pets

Tarzan is a dog loving, playful kitten.

About my yard

We have an acre back yard with runners and open space for our furry friends to play. Our yard is not fenced, however, we do not ever allow pets out without supervision. We abide by the owner's requests in terms of using a leash or being able to play without a leash.

My experience administering medication

I work in the medical field and am very comfortable administering medications to canines/felines.

I love dogs. An exercised dog is a happy dog and I have the perfect space to keep your canine companion happy and fit. I have a large fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood with streets that are perfect for walks and runs. I have two older dogs of my own that are very friendly with people and other dogs but I can keep them in a separate part of the home if you prefer. Your dogs will be with me of course! I keep plenty of squeaky toys on hand for all my furry guests. I am home full time am happy to take as many walks or potty breaks as your pup needs to be happy and comfortable while you are away. I also have lots of soft spots around the house for lounging comfortably in the sun or in the air conditioning.

I am home during the week usually working on music and playing with my own dog who I ADORE. I've been watching dogs since before I could drive I've just always had a way with animals, especially dogs. I think I am perfect for this kind of thing because I am a freak about my own dog and I know and understand the fears dog owners have. My typical routine is really just to try and mirror the routine the dog has at home. I only use crates at the owners request for dogs who are crate training or just prefer sleeping in their crate. I can house sit, board, doggy day care, walks, and drop ins! I only accept small dogs under 30 lbs (exception are french bulldogs who are just heavy balls of love and usually still same size as my smaller clients) in my own home but certainly am not opposed to walking big guys or house sitting at their home.I have posted pictures from past walks with clients but my only dog is the small white mini schnauzer. I am experienced with older dogs and dogs requiring oral medication. If you have any questions for me please don't hesitate to reach out!

Thank You!

**** NEW NOTES ——> I know that my rates may be higher than others in rover or if you have met me in person at the park and I told you a different rate that is because rover takes 20% so my rates on here are to offset that charge. If we met in person please contact me on my business Instagram @iggysbnb_nashville for the pricing discussed in person. I have over 50 amazing reviews and am content with the amazing clients I have. New clients are accepted when I feel they will fit in with the regulars I have. I am often chosen because I will not overload myself with pups to insure everyone has a nice stay. My place is a doggy ZEN place they sleep and play where they want I play relaxing dog music for them and I’m a dog health fanatic I only give organic treats and will likely have a product suggestion for you when you leave. Such as pumpkin for dogs with frequent tummy problems. I LOVE animals and love educating owners on how to make their pups life better. My clients are now like family friends and I feel so blessed to have them! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup!

PAST GUESTS ONLY--

Unfortunately we are not able to accept new guests as our pup has gotten territorial with her home turf and is not welcoming of dogs she has not met before.

I have set our profile to Repeat Guests Only, but it seems we still show up in general searches.

Cats, dogs, fish, ferrets, rats--I have lived with and raised them all. I have also volunteered at a wildlife rehabilitation facility, and I am comfortable handling and being around all kinds of mammals, reptiles, and critters.

We have two kitties (10-year-old litter mates, Millie & Balin) and a very loving, gentle Great Pyrenees puppy (Winnie, just over 2 years old). They are our fur babies and your furry (or scaly) family member would receive the same love and care we give our own.

We provide daily reports for you via Rover with lots of pictures, so you can ensure your loved one is receiving exceptional care while you are away.

Happy to provide text updates as well with photographs and short videos, if you wish.

We aim to provide exceptional care and attention; as such, we:

(1) recommend a meet and greet for all new clients (although may be waived) &

(2) are unable to accept emergency sitting requests from new clients (that is, if you require services within a 24-hour period from the initial request we are unable to accept the request and defer to another Rover sitter).

Previous Clients:

If you need an emergency sitter, we will try to accommodate as best we can. Please text or call to confirm availability and then we can book through Rover to ensure you receive Rover pet insurance for your stay.

*If your pup is crate trained and prefers having his or her "den" available, please feel free to bring your crate and let us know, so we can maintain your routine.

Clients with early morning flights/departures may drop off after 5 pm on the evening prior for a complimentary evening in order to ensure worry free morning to airport. Pick ups made outside 24-hour window may be subject to a partial day charge depending on drop off/pick up time.

We strive to have your pup(s) as our only guest(s) during your reservation time in order for them to receive exclusive attention. However, we also want to be available for urgent/emergency requests from repeat clients, so there may be times when a past guest may also be visiting. Our goal is to discuss this possibility prior to reservation to ensure everyone is comfortable. Rest assured all guests are screened for temperament and will receive lots of love and attention during their stay.

We currently only offer in-home sitting at our home with an adult (myself or husband) at the residence almost 24/7. We are unable to offer traveling services to guest homes at this time.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

About this sitter:

This sitter only offers in-home sitting in her home. She is unable to over traveling sitting at the home of the pet.

Why I love dog sitting

I am a lifelong animal lover having grown up on a mini farm. I grew up with Great Danes and kitties living in the house. I must confess I was a bit partial to cats for most of my life, but when I adopted my current pup, Winnie (a Great Pyr), she truly changed my life and I can readily say I am equally a cat/dog person. My husband has been a dog person his whole life, growing up with a variety of smaller breeds (Boston Terrier, Lhasa, Shih Tzu), and later larger ones (Dalmatian, Britney, Labrador). But he will on occasion confess to being a bit of a cat person, too.

Meet my pets

2 kitties, Balin & Millie (9-year old litter mates) and an aquarium of tropical fish

About my yard

We have a flat front yard and a sloped backyard that has a deck overlooking it. There are trails in my subdivision providing lots of walking options. If client is interested, I have an SUV and can easily take pups to one of the many local dog parks or even park hiking trails. There are two dog parks (Fenway's at Moss-Wright Park and the new Bark Park in Hendersonville) within a few miles of my home.

My experience administering medication

Yes. I take pride in my cat pilling abilities. :-)

I am a dog person and have been my whole life. Over the years (while taking care of my own dogs) I have taken care of dogs for family and friends. I have watched their pets here at my own home and have house/ dog sat as well . I watch dogs from home full time and have in door space along with a decent sized fenced in yard. I have been on Rover for 3 years now and have really enjoyed all the awesome dogs that have been in my home. My pug Lady loves playing with the other dogs inside and outside in the fenced in backyard. I watch dogs of all sizes and ages just be sure to let me know if they have any special needs. Look forward to hearing from you.

For boarding and daycare, I only accept dogs that are no more than 20 lbs.

For dog walking the maximum weight, I accept is 45lbs. (This is for safety reasons only!)

For drop-in visits, I will accept dogs up to 100 lbs.

**This includes bringing in your mail, taking the trash can out to the curb, rotating lights, opening/closing blinds, and watering plants.

While staying with me your dog will receive day long attention in a loving, calm and clean home with a gated outside courtyard. I will provide your pet with whatever needs they have. Whether it be lounging on the couch or out getting some exercise! For walks and drop-in visits you can be sure they will have my full attention! My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing that your dog is receiving quality care! Your pet will be loved and well taken care of while you are away! I’ve taken care of a variety of different breeds over the years and understand that each dog is different. I’ve cared for guide dogs, dogs that are deaf and dogs that are blind. My approach is calm and loving.

I promise to provide your pet with the same love, and attention as my own dogs, Isaac a 7-year-old Boston Terrier and Charlie a 7-year-old Shih Tzu. I am very flexible and will do whatever I can to accommodate you and your dog! I always provide photos and a detailed description of your pets day/walk.

I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet!
