Pawsitive Vibes Only! 🤙

Welcome to my profile! For 6 years I’ve shared my life with a rescue dog (Buster) and have walked and boarded dogs regularly since moving to Nashville in 2024. Buster loves having company around! I’m especially good with shy or protective rescues, but I can accommodate any size or breed of dog. Puppies are welcome as well. Calm energy, reliable routines, and great care guaranteed. Quick weekend getaway? Running out of town on a last-minute notice? 2 week Vacation? Just reach out and let me know what dates you need covered and I’m your guy! Buster has proven to be a good hang for any dog. You can ensure that your dog will not be bored or bothered! From long walks by the river to movie nights chilling on the couch, my spot has proven to be a great place to host your pup. Send me a request and I will be quick to respond! I understand that leaving your pup with a complete stranger can be a bit nerve-wracking. Especially if your dog has any specific needs. Worrying about how your dog is doing while you’re out of town is the last thing need to be concerned about. I will make sure to set up a meet-and-greet prior to your pup’s stay to ensure that trust is established and that you are comfortable and confident in the decision to book with me 🤙

John took such great care of Toby! Highly recommend! Kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout Toby’s stay. It made me feel so much better knowing my pup was in good hands. I’d definitely book with him again!

John was professional and kind. Kept me updated daily of my dog’s well being with messages, photos and videos. I will absolutely book him again in the future.

John was very accommodating and worked with us. I was a little nervous about leaving my (new) dog (Brownie is a shy dog at first) with anyone but I felt comfortable that he was going to do well and both him and Brownie ended up hitting it off! Highly recommend!

John “Tre” was such a sweet sitter for Bijoux. Communicated very well, worked with us when we needed some flexibility and took great care of Bijoux. I would say he went above and beyond what we would have expected. Highly recommend!!

Pets

A typical day

Morning and afternoon walks, evening stroll, dinner. And of course, riverfront views and dog-watching. Happy pup guaranteed. While I live in an apartment, I have an awesome window view that keeps pups occupied when we are not outside walking/playing. I typically take my guest pups out for walks 3-4 times a day minimum, and I do not keep dogs in crates unless it’s specifically requested.
