Information Linda & James M. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if your pet has any behavioral issues or special dog treat dietary needs. Our dog Spike is on a chicken/beef free diet as he is allergic. I make sweet potato treats for him and he loves them.

A typical day

We have a large dog park next to the Harpeth River. We also have a large fenced back yard and will play lots of games with your dog and help him or her run off some of that pent up energy they all have. I have also started grooming our dog Spike and would be happy to give your pet a good brushing as long as they're not aggressive.

With 35 years of personal experience caring for dogs and livestock we can promise safe, loving care for your best friend(s). We even make Spike’s treats! James was a rancher specializing in Bassett Hounds, Horses, Donkeys and Mules and had up to 10 dogs at a time at his ranch. 2023 marks his 36th year clean and sober.

This was Blu’s second stay. He was so happy to be visiting again, I left feeling no guilt. 🙂 James and Linda treat him like part of the family. And he enjoys playing in the yard with their dog.

Linda and James went above and beyond to make sure our Aussiedoodle spent a good 9 days with them and their dog Spike. Blu has been known to be a bit anxious with others. They blew way past that barrier in their relationship with him. We got daily pics, videos, and updates which made us enjoy our trip even more. Blu got to spend tons of time playing with Spike in their good-sized backyard, Linda and James also played fetch, and gave him lots of tender attention. Blu's stellar report card is due to the home they made for him. We will definitely book a stay with Linda and James when we cannot travel with Blu.

10/10. James and Linda were kind and attentive caretakers for our dog, Betty. They have an incredible setup that allowed Betty and their dog, Spike, to run around and play outside. Spike is one of the friendliest and sweetest dogs we’ve ever met! James, Linda, and Spike are without a doubt our #1 choice for Betty.
