I like to ask the owners a few question before I begin dog sitting: 1. Does your pup suffer from anxiety? 2. Is your pup "high energy"? 3. Is your pup an "escape artist" in the yard? 4. What are your pups favorite chews? 5. Has your pup had their monthly flea treatment? Please bring a kennel (very important-will not take a pup without a kennel), blanket ("familiar" favorite item), and chews to last your pups stay along with all their other goodies. I don't always use a kennel, but in strange place you never know how a dog will react. If they end up having unusual anxiety that I can't pacify with kind words and lovin', I put them in their kennel with familiar items, cover it with a blanket (except for one side) so it becomes a "den" and put on a noise maker. This helps pups feel like they can easily defend their area and helps relieve anxiety from unfamiliar noises and smells. Then I coax them out with treats and let them take their time smelling their new domain. I can have a high anxiety dog back to normal in about 30-40 minutes after their owner leaves. (Also, please bring chews! Especially rawhides. It helps keep them busy and their anxiety low) I have two spaces available in my home. If you have one pup and would like them to be an only child during their stay, please let me know and we can talk about reserving both spaces so they get extra attention. No breed preferences except I can't have any oversized breeds since my space is small. If your pup needs to be dropped off before 8am or picked up after 8pm I will need you to schedule dropping them off/picking them up the day before/after. I am more than willing to accommodate everyone's needs... but this girl has got to get her rest:) Please be prompt for all meet and greets, pick up and drop off times. Unfortunately, If you aren't prompt, I can't guarantee that I will be available. For drop offs I designate a solid 45 minutes where my attention is strictly directed at getting your pup situated and comfortable. Tardiness cuts into that very important bonding time. HOLIDAY RATES: $40/night Thanks for being awesome, considerate and all around amazing people. Can't wait to watch your precious pup!

Here's where we'll take our walks I have a really friendly neighborhood that I would love to take your pooch on a walk around. East Nashville is a very dog friendly place and really close to the state park Shelby Bottoms! If you are ok with it, I also love going to the dog park by Centennial Park if the weather is nice. Watching dogs interact is one of my more favorite things. Your dog's sleeping arrangement That's up to you! I love it when they cuddle in bed with me, but if they are trained/used to sleeping elsewhere, just let me know! Time I'll spend with your dog As much as I can! I work from home 5/7 days a week.
