Booked by 1 family in Nashville, TN

From adopted senior dogs to new born puppies, animals have been a large part of my everyday life, forming my continues care and love for their wellbeing. Currently, I have a senior dog named Albert who needs more care and attention for his needs. I also have a 5 year old dog named Minus who is very active and loves to learn and show us his new tricks. Both of them like to play, nap, and sun bathe, while I also meet and support their needs. My dogs have always been my best friends and I want to become your pets as well! I’ve been a pet sitter on Rover for a little over two and a half years, and I’ve loved every second of it. I am fully background-checked and have completed more than 35 bookings, including eight amazing pets that I see on a regular basis. These long-term relationships mean so much to me as they’ve helped me grow as a sitter and understand how to create a comfortable, consistent routine for every animal I care for. It is very important to me to know all of your pets favorites and fears. I want to create a safe and personal experience with your fur baby, while also respecting their boundaries. Let me know during our meet and greet if your pet has separation anxiety, food aggression, particular needs, etc. Also tell me their favorite toy, treats, activities to do, etc. I want for theirs, mine, and your experience to be wonderful!
