Pet care experience

Your Best Friend's New Best Friend

My field trial champion and service animal trained Golden Retriever Miles Davis is my resume. I love animals. I am strong enough to handle large dogs, and gentle enough for smaller breeds; though I specialize in golden retrievers and all doodles. I make sure all my active dogs get 3-6 miles of structured walks every day with accompanying video footage, a quality advantage I offer; critical moves to keep your pups: healthy, happy, and learning you won’t get anywhere else. I've been pet sitting and training dogs for decades and I'm currently looking to assist a few dog families near me. Ask me about puppy training sessions as well!

This was Maggie and luna’s first stay with Jonathan and it was great! Communication was simple, meet n greet went well, the dogs had a great time. They got plenty of exercise and I know they had fun. Relieved to find such great care on Rover and will definitely use again.

Jonathan kept my almost 100 lbs Bernese mountain dog puppy and did a fantastic job, knowing his experience with puppies & bigger dogs. I always felt that he was safe in their home and they took him out for walks/ adventures each day they had him. When I picked him up and he had just taken my pup for a walk so he was nice and tired. I am using him back to back weekends!

Doggy Day Care • May 15, 2026

Jonathan is amazing! He watched our two energetic 8 month old pups during the daytime for two days in a row and was wonderful! The pups had a great time exploring his large backyard, getting loved on inside, and receiving a structured walk each day. Jonathan handled our worries with ease and sent many video updates throughout the day which made me very happy. Jonathan also has a training background and is very knowledgeable and helpful being our pups are young and still learning a lot. Our pups came home happy and fulfilled. We look forward to using Jonathan more in the future.

Jonathan is absolutely great with our dog. I can’t imagine a better setting for her being in a house with a fenced in yard, going on walks, and getting to be a part of a family. We are so happy to have a place that she likes to go with someone who knows goldens so well

My rates are dependent on how much work is required. Some dogs require a lot, some do not. My rates on site currently reflect the latter but are subject to change after I meet your dog. I am probably not going to be your cheapest option unless you have the chillest dog in Nashville but I likely will be able to provide the most value for your dollar. Let’s set up a meet and greet to find out!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
