Pet care experience

Your dog(s) will be in good hands!

Hi! I'm Jodi. I have loved animals my whole life and owned many, including dogs, horses, cats, rabbits, parakeets, fish, a turtle, and gerbils. My house is 15-20 minutes from downtown Nashville and just off I-40 near the Percy Priest Dam and BNA. I work from home as a freelance editor, and my backyard is fully fenced-in (wood privacy fence) with grass and trees and plants. My girls are Emma and Monica. They are both rescued border collie mixes (aka foster fails): Emma is 10.5 years old and Monica is 5. They LOVE meeting new people and dogs. My girls always come first. They get lots of time outside most days unless the weather is bad. They typically eat breakfast around 7 and supper by 5. (Emma is very insistent on her eating schedule! 😂 ) I've been fostering and keeping dogs for over ten years, and I promise to take great care of your pup(s) while you're away and send pictures as often as you like. I look forward to hearing from you! Please note: I prefer to keep dogs that are crate trained, potty trained, and have good inside manners. I will NOT keep unneutered males or unspayed females. I am also NOT comfortable with Chows.

Jodi was extremely patient with my six month old puppy. He is normally a loving, cuddly pup, but did have some separation anxiety during his time away from his parents. Jodi handled it extremely well and took great care of my Torchy. She consistently sent me photos and kept me informed on all of his activities!

Thanks so much Jodi for caring for Bella so we could have some alone time in Nashville!! Your pups gave her much needed exercise and excitement.

Jodi took really good care of Nala. Nala looked very happy and comfortable in her care. I will happily leave my sweet Nala in her care again

Safety, trust & environment

I am very careful with my own and other people’s dogs. I have firsthand experience with my own flight risk girl and recently endured my worst nightmare when she got free while staying with a sitter when I was out of town and there was an accident. Thank God she is ok! I don’t want anyone else to have to go through that, so I will be very diligent in caring for your dog! (If anything should happen despite my best efforts, please know that Rover does an excellent job offering support and helping! Again, I have firsthand experience. Thank you, Rover!!)

Pets

A typical day

We usually get up around 6-7 and eat breakfast, then the dogs play in the yard and do their business. They mostly nap while I work during the week. I usually give them supper around 5. My neighborhood has lots of sidewalks.
