Pet care experience

Fenced yard. Dog lover

Caring for dogs has been a constant part of my life, with extensive experience working with larger breeds, especially retrievers. I currently care for my 11-year-old chocolate English Lab, Hersh, which has given me firsthand experience in both managing high-energy dogs and providing the extra patience, attentiveness, and comfort that senior dogs need. I’m confident handling a wide range of temperaments and energy levels, and I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe and understood. Whether it’s maintaining structure for an active dog or creating a calm, reassuring environment for a more anxious one, I adapt my approach to meet their individual needs. My experience includes daily exercise, feeding routines, and creating a consistent, stress-free environment that mirrors what your dog is used to at home. I take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of both your pet and your space. Above all, I treat every dog with the same level of care, patience, and respect that I give my own—because I know they’re not just pets, they’re family.

Wow!!! Martin was absolutely incredible!! He sent tons of photos and videos and showered my dog with lots of love and stimulation. He slept in Martins king size bed and played in his back yard. There were several other dogs there that my dog was able to play with! He has excellent pricing for what you get its an awesome deal! Can’t wait to use Martin again!

Martin was always quick to respond and provided frequent updates when my dog was boarded with him for a week.

Schedule

Caring for my pets is an integral part of my daily routine. I make sure they get regular exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation each day, and I stay attentive to their feeding schedules, grooming needs, and overall health. I enjoy incorporating their care into my day, whether it’s taking my dog for a walk, training, or simply spending quality time with them. Their well-being is a top priority, and I find that a consistent routine helps them feel happy and secure.

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve dog-proofed my home to be a true "Trusted Oasis," providing a calm environment where your pet can relax, play, and feel right at home. What a Day with Me Looks Like: • Secure Play: Multiple daily sessions in my large, fully fenced-in backyard. Safety is my #1 priority, so outdoor time is always supervised.

A typical day

Your Dog’s Safe & Loving Nashville Retreat! 🐾 I run my dog boarding business full-time from my home, which means your pup is never just a "side project." Whether they are here for a weekend or an extended stay, they receive the consistent, 24/7 supervision and structured routine they need. • Personalized Care: I follow your specific feeding and exercise schedules to a T. I am also comfortable and experienced in administering standard oral or topical medications. • Comfortable Living: My home is climate-controlled and features "secured entry points" to ensure no one accidentally slips out the front door. Specialized for Your Pup: I have a soft spot for senior dogs who need a quieter, more patient pace, but I also love the energy of high-activity breeds. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member!
