Doggy Day Care McKissack Park

“Robin is amazing. She was so good and patient with our small yorkie we booked her multiple times. Communication and updates could not be better.”

“We are very selective about leaving our little boy with anyone. But, we immediately felt comfortable with Megan and Kerry. They were great and Mokee had a good time. After we're away from him, he normally goes wild to see us again. This time he was "ho hum, you're back." Oddly, that makes me happy! 😂”

“Ariana was great with my pup! She was flexible and accommodating, which I so appreciate. My pup came back tired and happy from daycare with Ariana and her pups, so I know she had a good time! Would totally recommend her to watch your kiddos!”

About: I've taken care of pets my entire life! Often neighbors, friends, and family have left their cats or dogs in my care whether due to work, travel, or emergencies. Being a caregiver just comes naturally to me, and I am inately intuned with the needs of the critters that come into my life. My sister and I used to work together to rescue and foster animals before she left for the military. We learned a lot, and helped hundreds of animals find furrever homes, prevented unnecessary euthanasia, and advocated fiercly for the pets in our care. I currently work from home with flexible hours so I can be there for you and your pets needs! I am incredibly flexible, have reliable transportation, and am prepared to brings pets into my home, or to come to yours to play! I like to work with pet parents to design stays around the needs and routines of the pets in my care whether that's exercise, medication administration, feeding schedules, vet visits, etc. I believe routines keep animals calm and feeling comfortable during stays at my home or in yours. I often reccomend calming care suggestions for pets who have paw-parents on vacations, but also offer some in my home as well as options for positive engagement activies to prevent boredom and support the redirection of destructive behaviors that can be triggered by anxious pets. When caring for pups, I often go to the dog park down the street, but I also have a nice unfenced yard behind my home and am in a cul-de-sac perfect for long walks. I am an avid runner, and enjoy taking pets on the trail close to my home for a run! I keep all dogs on leash in unfenced areas. I have separate rooms in my home, in the case of multiple pets and if they don't get along, but also for feeding multiple pets (if there are multiple in the home). I never leave pets from different homes unsupervised in the same space, and will do slow, supervised introductions to ensure any pets in my care are compatible. I do not have crates in my home, but if your pet has one, I often reccomend bringing it for longer stays as pets will often use it as a safe space in an unfamiliar area. Pets will have access to their crates, but will remain uncrated unless otherwise instructed by the pet parent (i.e. on short trips where I am out of the home, overnight, during feeding, etc.). I don't currently accept aggressive pets in my home, but may be open to visiting them in your home where they may be more comfortable!

About: I have been a dog mom for over six years now and ever since I got my Louie (male Yorkie) I’ve cared for puppies of all ages. I can administer medication and provide a safe and loving environment. In my home the babies are aloud on furniture and will have a fenced backyard to play. P.S.: I can only care for small/medium dogs. I work from home and have a flexible work schedule. I’m able to give them lots of attention and keep them safe and happy alongside my fur baby boy! I have a fenced in backyard and can provide safe play and potty times. I’ll promptly follow your instructions on feeding and medication administration (oral only).

“SO HAPPY WE FOUND ALEXSANDRA!!! Birdie had a blast and I got so many updates while I was at work! Definitely going to be our new go to for day care!!”

About: I am kind, caring and affectionate and I will respect your rules. I have been a pet owner for over 25 years. I have also been involved in caring for and rescuing many pets over the years. This has been my great joy. My home is pet friendly and pet safe. I understand how it feels to leave your beloved pets and I know how much it means to know that your sweet ones are feeling happy and well loved while you are away. I enjoy sending my clients pics of their pets during their stay. Providing secure accommodations and a fun place to stay is paramount. This is my absolute purpose, goal, and pleasure. Pet sitting is my only job. I am home all day. With your approval, your dogs will be free to enjoy inside or outside. I have a secure privacy fence and a pet door for easy access. Of course, if you prefer a more regimented potty break schedule and time outside, I am happy to oblige. I allow dogs to make themselves at home. Sitting on furniture is A-okay. (as long as you approve.) I will certainly respect your rules. I like our dog visitors to be comfortable, feeling safe and welcome. I have a ChiWeenie; who sleeps A LOT and keeps to herself mostly; however, she is friendly. I also have a very friendly and playful Jack Russell/Beagle mix who enjoys company. My yard is secure and fun. We also have patio furniture they can lounge on. I keep our upstairs access gated. Of course, I will follow your instruction in regard to their sleeping. I am happy to do a “meet and greet” prior to your scheduling.

“Amanda was a natural with my dog, and I could tell that he and the other dogs in her care were very happy to be with her. I would definitely take Rico to Amanda again.”

“Atlas had a great time with Austin, and Austin provided quick updates on how Atlas was settling in being there for the first time. Would definitely recommend!”

“Luigi had tons of fun at daycare today, thanks Ashley! Loved seeing all the pictures taken throughout his day and happy to hear he did well on his leash/walks too :)”

Emily C.

“Emily took wonderful care of my fur baby, Sugar, while we were visiting Nashville. She has a large fenced yard where the dogs can play, and I appreciated the extra safety measures she took. Emily put Sugar’s collar on in addition to her harness in case she somehow got loose, which showed me she was thinking ahead and treating Sugar like one of her own. Before I left, Emily carefully introduced Sugar to the other dogs and made sure everyone got along and that Sugar was comfortable. That gave me tremendous peace of mind. I felt completely comfortable leaving my girl in her care, and it was obvious Sugar was well loved and well cared for while we were away. I would happily trust Emily with Sugar again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and conscientious pet sitter.”

“Shelby was a huge last minute help for me and Ollie and was super flexible when I got delayed. She’s very sweet and I could tell that Ollie felt comfortable with her 🩷”

About: Hi, I'm Fernando! I love pets and am excited to spend time with yours! I've grown up around dogs my entire life and understand the importance of providing a safe and fun environment for them. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while you're away, I'll care for your pets as if they were my own. My experience includes caring for dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments, so I’m comfortable adapting to each pup’s individual needs. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your dog. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I have a flexible remote work schedule and am available any day of the week. Feel free to reach out even if its last second! Before taking care of your pet, I will ask a few background questions such as your dogs routine, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, and and temper. This information will me and you pup have a great time without any hiccups. I live in a dog friendly condominium with dog parks and big fields nearby, and have one friendly dog of my own (mini poodle).

About: Hello, my name is Alyssa. I have been a fur mom for over 20 years and I truly love spending time with dogs. I rescued my baby Caico at 8 weeks from Turks and Caicos. Some call me the dog whisperer but I credit my dog attraction success by understanding that “it’s the dogs world and I’m just living in it”. I’m currently working from home! Daycare drop off and pickup hours are between 7 am and 7 pm. Any time after 7 pm would need to be booked as boarding and pickup for the following morning. If your pooch boards with me, I do love puppy cuddles in bed or on their own couch. I offer extended stays as well. Dogs come first in my home. I’m always excited to take dogs on a hike, walk or puppy play date. I live in a dog friendly community with access to a fenced dog park. I do prefer walking in the park or on a good trail. I have sat numerous dogs both young and old and enjoy pup slumber parties. If your pup needs a bath, I am willing to scrub them in the tub. Let your dog be spoiled by me!

“Brittany is great! I love that there are other dogs for my puppy to play with and Brittany is also super attentive to my puppy that can be quite clingy sometimes. I loved how many photos she sends of my dog through the day and feel very comforted knowing she’s in great care!”

About: Ever since I was little I’ve always had special bonds with dogs, more than I have with some humans. I’ve always wanted to help care for them as young as 5 years old. In more recent years, I have dog sat over night, over long weeks and just for walks and play time. My mom jokes that all dogs love me because they see a play mate in me, but I do know when to lay down the law. Currently I work remotely, and have few meetings throughout the day. I live alone - without any dogs of my own. I like to go for a walk a day myself, rain or shine, to get my blood moving. I love having human or dog friends join me! My number one concern is safety for the animals. If I’m babysitting a dog, I do like to have a discussion with my client to know the dogs needs, how they react to new people and dogs, and what I can do to best make the dog feel loved and cared for. I like to know their routines because animals do have a set routine. I believe communication and respect go a very long way for any relationship. Meeting the animals is a special moment as well as meeting their humans. I want to learn as much about the dog and human as possible before being alone with the animals. For cats, I do love cuddling or giving them their space, or even play time! Cats have their routines and needs just as much as dogs do, and I want to respect their boundaries as much as possible.

“Xue was great, Hoochu immediately loved her! She was very good at communicating everything and she was able to take care of him even though it was a very short notice. I will definitely book with her again!!”

“Khyati was wonderful to deal with. Very flexible with drop off and pickup times. Rodeo thoroughly enjoyed speaking time with her and her 2 dogs :) Will definitely be using Khyati again.”

Joanna H.

“Very easy to work with. Very flexible and responsive. Great location for downtown Nashville activities. My dog seemed to enjoy her doggy daycare! Would recommend and use again if I were in the area.”

“Teresa was super friendly, helpful, efficient, and flexible. She made our first time using Rover very comfortable. Coco loved taking a break from our crazy vacation to hang out while we toured some museums.”
