Historic 1920’s House near Belmont w/ Pool, Private Guesthouse & Two Sweet Pups
Introduction
My wife Holly and I have three kids, the youngest of whom is still in the "nest" with us. We occasionally all travel together, leaving our house and two small dogs - Ruby (a Cava-Poo) and Poppy (a *Mini* Bernie-Doodle) - unattended. We hate kenneling and prefer having someone stay at the house with them instead. We’ve had great experiences with sitters.
Show more...Home & location
We live in a renovated 1928 foursquare between Vanderbilt and Belmont Universities, a short walk from Hillsboro Village restaurants and shops. Both Bongo Java and Fido coffee shops are a few blocks away, and a bus pick-up point is just one block from our front door. The main house has an open floor plan with a well-equipped kitchen, a piano, and a large screened porch. The pool house behind it has a loft bedroom up (with washer and dryer) and a full bath/shower down, with a den/tv area and half-kitchen that opens onto the pool and patio areas. You'll sleep in the pool/guest house and use the kitchen in the main house for more involved meal prep. The dogs sleep together in a crate in the living room of the main house. The pool is yours to enjoy, and you're welcome to use our Big Green Egg to grill out. All-natural (a must for the Egg) charcoal and lighter blocks are in the garage. There is a Sonos system with outdoor speakers you're welcome to tap into as well. Nearby, Hillsboro Village has numerous shops and eateries as well as the historic Belcourt Theatre, which shows a mix of indie and mainstream films. Midtown and downtown Nashville are a quick drive or Lyft/Uber away. We're in one of the most walkable parts of town, so enjoy!
Show more...Responsibilities
You'll feed the dogs twice a day (first thing in the morning and 4-5 p.m.), take them on a daily walk around the block, pull the mail in every afternoon, and generally keep an eye on things.

Ruby and Poppy are the cutest little dogs ever! They are super attentive and cudly and they are little machines out on a walk. Clint and family were very clear with instructions about the dogs and their home and the home is really really wonderful! It is just a few minuites from everything cool in Nashville, but tucked away on a very quite street. The home and the pool house were like a vacation and the dogs treated me like a best friend from day one. I highly recommend this sit for Clint and Co.!

We throughly enjoyed our sit with Ruby and Poppy at Clint and Holly’s lovely home. Clint’s communication was great and the video he sent ahead of time was super helpful. Their home is beautifully decorated and very inviting. The well appointed pool house where we stayed is awesome and there are many places to walk the dogs and stop for food/drinks in the Hillsboro area. The weather didn’t fully cooperate, but when it was dry we enjoyed hanging out in the pool area and cooking out. The dogs were our constant companions and we loved their energy and company. This is a great sit and we highly recommend it! We would love to sit for them again.

We just finished a wonderful sit in Nashville with Ruby and Poppy! Clint was so gracious on our arrival and spent quality time showing us his beautiful home. The pool house was a wonderful retreat and was even stocked with basics and lots of refreshments for our use. We were very comfortable communicating with Clint throughout the stay with his laid back style. Ruby has the most beautiful brown eyes and loved to “talk” to us. Poppy is a ball of energy who emanates joy to all around. In addition, we were so fortunate to experience beautiful weather and all the spring blossoms in full bloom during our stay. All in all, a 5 star plus experience

Beautiful home in a beautiful area! Ruby and Poppy are close companions and total sweethearts. Clint was easy-going and available when needed. Such a great place to work on the screened porch in the morning, hang in/by the pool in the afternoon, and cozy up by the fire pit in the eve! Fair Warning: Ruby and Poppy WILL fit themselves in your chair (with you) if possible 🐶🥰💯👙🔥

Nancy and Matt were absolutely fantastic. After a quick walk-through when they arrived, we left them the keys for *an entire week* and didn't hear a peep - they simply took care of our two pups, watched over the house, and explored the neighborhood and city like pros. And they went the extra mile - taking Ruby and Poppy on lots of walks and doggie excursions, to the point where I'm not sure the dogs were all that happy to see us come back. :) Put simply, I can't endorse Nancy and Matt enough!

Joanne was a pleasure. She took excellent care of our pups and left our house cleaner than we left it! We would welcome a future sit any time.

Roneshia did a fantastic job watching over our two dogs and house for more than a week (!) She was self-sufficient from the word Go, communicated like a pro, became besties with our pups within minutes of arriving, and left the house cleaner than it was when she got there. We would welcome her back any time!
