We are a family of three:) my husband, Brian, myself and Ruby are boxer. She is our second boxer and a rescue. We got her when she was about a year old. She’s now around four. Very playful and silly gets along with other dogs. Loves to have friends over in the backyard. She certainly has a lot of energy so we’re constantly walking her in the neighborhood and having play dates. We watch a lot of friends dogs so she’s socialized and we have a lot of gatherings at her house so she’s around other people and children.

Always looking for play dates! Will able to do FREE short term dog sitting as long as Thalia can go and play with your dog(s) during the time. 😆 I am a scientist at Vandy. I adopted Thalia since she was a puppy. She is very friendly and has too much energy. She knows most of the command but she also knows when she can get away with things. We both like hiking and camping. All Of my friends told me Thalia is the best puppy ever in my ABSENCE…..what have I done…. She is obsessive with fetching toys and will not hesitate to eat your pets leftover food in their bowls. So just keep those out of her sight you would be fine.

Sedona
Nashville, TNBreed: Mixed Breed
Weight: 50 lbs
Age: 12 years old
Gender: Female
My husband and I just moved to Nashville with our dog, Sedona. We both work from home so are with our pup most of the time. We typically need a pet sitter for an occasional long day when Sedona can't come along or when traveling for vacation a few times a year. Sedona is 12yrs old, spayed, retriever/collie/shepherd mix, 50lbs. She has always been a very mellow dog who sleeps a ton during the day and just loves being pet and loves to hang out with her humans. She happens to know quite a few tricks too so she likes to practice those for treats. She is always up to date on her vaccines and is on Trifexis for flea control. She is good with other dogs but prefers more mellow dogs now that she is older, but otherwise she may play for a few minutes and then moves on to relaxing on her own. She isn't into dog parks so we don't bother with that anymore, she prefers more human time and we feel that is safer for her :) She shares her space well at home when we have had dog guests. We live in a home with a gated yard but she is an inside dog, not crated. She isn't into cats due to limited exposure and would likely chase one so cat homes are not an option. She is fine with children as long as they are gentle with her of course and approach from the front (to not startle if coming from behind). Never destroyed/damaged anything at home and of course fully potty trained. She is healthy overall but does have allergies which we treat with twice a day Apoquel pills (which she takes well with a pill pocket) and monthly medicated baths(very clean pup!). Due to her allergies we wipe her paws and face regularly if she had her face in grass/plants or if she rolled around a lot or got particularly dirty (which is rare). She loves her daily walks with us and overall she is a happy, mellow, low maintenance dog for any pet sitter.
