Dog Lovers - Big Yard - Work @ Home

Hey friends! I have grown up around a lot of animals and it is one of my greatest joys in life to be around dogs, they make me so happy! My husband and I live in Northeast Nashville with our 3 kids (a 4 year old daughter, and girl/boy 18 month old twins) They LOVE our pup friends! We have a sweet pup named Bigsby who loves new friends. We go on a lot of walks, so your dog will get a lot of exercise I am a stay at home mom, so your furry friend will never be lonely/ Our house is open with all wood floors, we have a big fenced in backyard-- perfect for your pup to stay overnight. Snuggles shall be had by one and all, here!

Marissa and her family are incredible! We had a last minute request and they were accommodating, kind, and incredibly thoughtful when it came to ensuring our pups had the best possible weekend. Highly recommend!

I hit the jackpot finding Marissa and her amazing family to watch my doggies for a week. They were amazing! I got so many pics of the doos having a blast and getting love. I was only concerned that they wouldn't want to come back home! LOL. Seriously, if you need a pet sitter, Marissa and fam are the best. I'll never use anyone else!

Great place for our Elle. She had a great time with Bigsby and she was right at home and lots of room to play in the yard. We will definitely come back when in Nashville.

Great sitters and very accommodating. We felt our two dogs were in good hands and were able to enjoy some time away. Thank you
