Experienced Dog Lover

Hi!! I’m basically the person everyone calls when they need someone they fully trust with their dog. 😂 I’ve been a lifelong dog owner and sitter, and currently have a 7 year old fully trained golden doodle baby! Between family, friends, and now neighbors dog sitting and walking has naturally become a huge part of my life again! One thing about me: you WILL get photo updates 😅 I currently have 9k photos of pets in my phone bc unfortunately EVERYTHING they do deserves a photo. I love making dogs feel like they are on their own vacation, & making owners feel fully relaxed when they’re away! I also try my best to match your dog’s normal routines, habits, and lifestyle at home so the transition feels easy, familiar, and low stress for them.

Ouida is the best dog sitter ever! When I first gave my pup for her to watch I was hesitate. Only because my dog Maxwell is a nervous dog, and doesn’t really many people or dogs. It takes a lot of love and patience for someone to watch him because that’s just how his breed is! Maxwell felt comfortable the moment he walked into her house and Loves her dog Forrest. I never had to worry about Maxwell because he was in great hands with her. She made sure he was included in cuddles, walks, and food!! He loves her and truly enjoys his stay. I’ll always ask Ouida to dog sit Max because she sends so many picture updates! I recommend her if you need a dog whisperer lol!

Omg basically a dog whisperer! Our dogs love to spend time with Ouida. She’s pretty much family. The dogs are super comfortable with her and she spoils them rotten. They don’t even miss us!

Ouida is amazing with dogs! It’s so nice to leave your dogs in the hands of someone you can trust. Dogs LOVE her, which tells me all I need to know. She really understands their needs and truly treats all dogs as her own.

Schedule

I currently freelance from home, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I’m home throughout the week with open availability for walks, potty breaks, and playtime. Your dog won’t just be “checked on”, they’ll actually have someone around and engaged with them throughout the day!

Safety, trust & environment

We live in North Nashville in a super walkable neighborhood with sidewalks and a huge fenced yard that’s perfect for zoomies, or sunbathing as my dog loves to do!

Pets

A typical day

My dog gets multiple walks daily, and I love taking pups on greenway walks, or easy trails depending on their energy level and comfort! I always bring water and treats and pay close attention to their energy levels and keeping them comfortable! Whether your dog wants to play fetch for an hour, cuddle on the couch to people watch, or go on a long walk or sniffari to smell all the new scents in the neighborhood, I’m happy to match their vibe. I love on these beautiful spring days to take my dog to a coffee shop or out to lunch, depending comfortability I’m happy to take yours as well!

When booking, I’d love to know all the details about your pup: • Are they allowed on furniture at home? If not, should I keep that boundary at my place? • Any quirks, fears, triggers, routines, or favorite toys/snacks? • Do they prefer long or short walks or prefer play sessions? • Are they good in the car / enjoy exploring? I love taking dogs along for coffee runs or a casual lunch hang, let me know if that sounds fun or stressful for them/you! • How often would you like updates and photos? I can be overwhelming at times so I want to match your preference😅
