Expert Care for Senior Pups

Pet care experience

Dive into a world of specialized care with me, your trusted pet sitter dedicated to the well-being of your senior dogs. My journey with animals began from the cradle, growing up in a household that pulsated with the love for dogs and cats. Over the years, my family and I have embraced over 15 dogs, each teaching me the nuances of care, compassion, and understanding that these loyal companions require. My heart holds a special place for senior dogs. Having a 13-year-old Golden Retriever, I've mastered the art of elderly canine care—from administering medication with precision to understanding their unique needs and comforts. My approach is tailored, ensuring that your aged companion receives not just care but the companionship and love they deserve in their golden years. Training dogs is another forte of mine, honed through years of experience. Whether it's basic commands or more nuanced behavioral adjustments, my techniques are kind, effective, and designed to enhance the bond between you and your pet. Residing in Mount Juliet for two decades, my familiarity with Nashville's best parks and trails means your dog will enjoy safe and stimulating outings – or we can stay within your home, yard, and neighborhood if that better suits your needs. Punctuality, reliability, and a keen attention to detail are the pillars of my service. I’m slightly OCD, which translates into meticulously following your instructions and preferences for your pet’s care. Choosing me means opting for a caregiver who sees your pet as their own, ensuring they receive the highest level of attention and comfort. I'm currently opening my schedule to new clients who seek a sitter that stands apart, especially in caring for the needs of senior dogs. Let’s connect to discuss how I can make your pet’s twilight years their best yet.

Safety, trust & environment

Adhering strictly to your instructions, I replicate the care and routines your pets are accustomed to, minimizing their stress and maximizing their comfort. My goal is to be a seamless extension of you, providing peace of mind that your pets are in safe hands, whether they're enjoying the familiarity of their home or the warmth of mine.

Information Michael K. would like to know about your pet

Understanding your pet's unique personality and needs is crucial to providing the best care. Before we start, I like to know about their behavior around other people and pets, any special dietary restrictions or allergies, their favorite activities, and any medical needs or medications. This knowledge helps me tailor my care to fit perfectly with your pet's lifestyle, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and safe under my watch.

A typical day

A typical day with your pets is filled with adventure and tailored activities that cater to their likes and needs. From invigorating runs for the energetic sprinters to peaceful walks for the more contemplative souls, I adapt our activities to what they enjoy most. Local parks and lakes are our playgrounds, offering diverse experiences like hiking, exploring, or simply relaxing by the water. Each day is an opportunity to create joyful memories and enrich your pet's life with engaging and stimulating experiences.
