2025 UPDATE: I am happy to announce that I have recently made the change to a full-time Rover sitter!! I will now have so much more time and flexibility to offer lots of attention and potty breaks throughout the day, AND, they will 100% be treated like one of our family while they are here visiting! Since this is now my full-time job, I also have an open and flexible schedule to provide drop ins at your home, day and night, weekdays and weekends, if your pets are comfier in their own home! If you are looking for someone with a little more maturity, I am a 49-year-old professional, so I am extremely trustworthy when it comes to your pet and home. I can also water plants and bring in packages, to help you while you are away. For drop ins in your home: I service EAST NASHVILLE. If you are outside of this radius and would still like to book with me, I do charge an additional travel fee of $6 per visit - including the Gulch, Germantown, Downtown, Madison, Opry, North Nashville & Donelson. For any clients with large dogs, I require the home to have a fenced yard, where they can do their potty breaks. Unfortunately, I am unable to offer dog walking services on drop ins and overnight stays, due to health issues. Due to some recent changes by the Rover app, I have had to slightly increase my prices to cover the 20% fee that they now charge me. This additional cost does cover insurance for your pet and for me, while they are in my care, in case of any emergency. If you are looking for inexpensive care, I totally understand, if you are looking for responsible, reliable, respectful and loving care for your pets, then I am the sitter for you! I bring 5 years of experience on Rover and over 100 *5 star reviews* as well as over 40 years of pet owning experience. You will not have to worry about the safety of your pet, nor the safety of your home for drop in visits. I am trying to keep my prices down as much as possible and still be able to dedicate my entire time to this job. And, my prices are still lower than boarding your pet at a day care facility! With me, they will have one on one attention and never be crated (unless requested by the pet parent) I hope you, as potential clients, understand and feel that the service you will receive and the love your pet will receive, is worth a little extra =) Please also keep in mind I am a real person and this is my real job. Unfortunately, I have been receiving a multitude of duplicate requests from clients. If you are interested in booking with me, please give me the curtesy of a few minutes to respond to you, before seeking other sitters. I am extremely professional and take this very seriously and will respond to EVERY inquiry, within a very short amount of time, with respect. Please allow me that same respect. I also offer pick up and drop off services for boardings, if you won't have a car while visiting, if you are unfamiliar with the area, if you have an early or late flight, or if it just makes your life easier; I am happy to help! - In East +$15 each way. Outside of East (Gulch, Germantown, Downtown, Madison, Opry, North Nashville & Donelson) +20 each way. Outside these areas, please reach out to discuss availability & pricing. For cat care: The first 2 cats are covered under the regular booking fee, each cat thereafter will be an additional $5. Thank you for considering me and I hope I get a chance to meet you & your pups and kitties! =) --------------------------------------------------------- My husband Scott and I travel a lot and with a dog of our own, we know it’s tough to leave your loved ones at home! Due to our ongoing trouble finding that perfect someone to watch our pup, we’ve decided to try to help others in the same situation, by offering a happy place to stay while you are away! Our pup Juniper is 10 years old and is only 6 pounds, so we specialize in small dogs and larger dogs who are a little older. We have a very calm and quite household where lazy days are a plenty! Our pup loves to lay around and snuggle most of the day. We have a large home where the dogs rule the roost, with all access to everything comfy and fluffy, including the couch and bed! The safety and happiness of our pup and yours is our #1 priority, so we only allow one family at a time. If you book with us, your pet will be the only one in our home during that time, other than Juniper, of course! Our pup Juniper is not spayed, so I unfortunately cannot take males who are not neutered. Our house is fenced on 2 sides and is set off the road, providing extra safety in the front and has a shallow creek, providing a natural barrier in the back. Our pup is trained off leash and has been very safe, however if your pet is not trained off leash, we will make sure they are leashed every time we go outside. We have had over 100 stays with us and have been very successful with both approaches. I have included a photo of our front and back yards, but please let me know if you have any questions. While Juniper loves having friends come over to visit, for safety reasons, we do have a 50-pound weight limit on pups we can watch, due to her age and small size. We do make exceptions for extra-large senior dogs, who would be less active and less likely to run into and/or knock Juniper over. We specialize in small dogs, but we will also take larger dogs, as long as they are able to go outside without a leash. I have some health issues that prevent me from being able to leash and handle a dog over the 50 pound limit. Unfortunately, Rover does not have a weight category between 16-40 and 41-100, so we will have to manually decline extra-large dogs. Please reach out to discuss further.
