Pet care experience

Dog-approved human 🦮🏃🏻‍♂️

I’ve take care of all sorts of dogs for a majority of my life! Currently my wife and I have one, 80lb black lab that we rescued back in 2020. Been in Nashville for five years and familiar and have walked dogs all over the city. Happy to take your furry friend out safety in any area. Fun fact, I’m also a local super-host on Airbnb, so I’m highly sensitive and respectful when it comes to home access and property.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a secure apartment with access to a private, fenced in dog area. It typically gets minimal use. As a short term rental property owner, I’m familiar with logistical communication when accessing homes and highly respectful of personal property. I can also physically handle any dog’s size and energy while remaining calm and safe especially in public areas.

He’s literally the best everytime. My dog is always taken care of, he follows all of the instructions and my dog listens to him which means he must like and trust him. I always try to use Gabe when I can.
