Nashville is bracing for a significant cold snap this weekend, with wind chills plummeting below zero on Monday. Check out our latest blog post for essential winter weather pet safety tips.

Winter has officially arrived in Nashville, bringing its usual unpredictability. One day might greet us with freezing rain, snow, or ice, while the next delivers a thaw and a flurry of muddy paw prints. Love it or hate it, winter here is always an adventure.

🎄 Ho Ho Hello! 🐾

It’s me, Snickerdoodle Tinseltoes, Santa’s most churrific helper, and I had the absolute joy of tagging along for a visit with Koi and Bella. Let me tell you, these two are North Pole-approved nice listers for sure!

First, we took care of all the important business—no reindeer games here. Koi got all her meds like the trooper she is. I hope those magic potions work their wonders and make her feel paws-itively amazing soon! She wasn’t too excited about the churru (I get it—elves can be picky about our peppermint sticks, too), but she did nibble on some dry treats afterward. Of course, Bella happily swooped in and devoured the churru like the queen she is—10/10, no crumbs left behind!

Next, we whipped up their food plates (gourmet, if I do say so myself), washed the dishes (sparkly enough to make Mrs. Claus proud), and scooped their litter boxes (because even at Christmas, elves pitch in to keep things tidy). Now they’re all set for a comfy, cozy day!

I must say, after spending time with Bella and Koi, I can see why they’re on the nice list—sweet, charming, and oh-so-lovable. Santa Paws is going to get an excellent report from me!

Wishing you all a very merry and bright holiday season!

Jolly greetings! It’s me, Nibbles Jinglefoot, your trusty elf pet companion, here with a festive wrap-up from my evening with Bosco, Dallas and their fishy friends.

We started the night with a brisk trip outside where both pups took care of all their business like the good Nice List candidates they are. Then it was time for dinner—I served them the rest of their meal, and they ate it up like true holiday enthusiasts.

After that, the real fun began! We snapped a few “Elfies” together—Dallas and Bosco are naturals in front of the camera. Of course, Dallas had to lick my hat again. Silly guy! Then I dusted off the ol’ elf piano skills for a Christmas carol sing-along. The boys’ rendition of “Bark the Herald Angels Sing” was paw-sitively magical! Bosco really hit those high notes, and Dallas kept a steady beat with his wagging tail.

Before winding down, I took a quick swim with the fish. They seemed delighted to have some company and let me pet them. I think I’m becoming an honorary member of their little tank family!

Now everyone is tucked in, cozy as can be, and ready to dream of all the wonderful things Santa Paws might bring. I left the boys snuggled up and looking forward to another day of holiday fun.

Wishing you a merry and bright night,
Nibbles Jinglefoot 🎹🐾🎄

Hi friends! Merry Happytail here, Santa Paws’ happiest holiday helper, feeling right at home with all the North Pole decorations around here—so festive!
Carly and I teamed up for a holly jolly walk with Isabelle and Ivan. We strolled to the retaining pond, Isabelle’s favorite sniffing spot lately. The breeze was delightful, and these two even let me sneak in some selfies—oh, what fun!
Big shoutout to Ivan for being a perfect gentleman when we saw another dog. He listened to Carly, didn’t bark, and even sat down! That’s Nice List material for sure!
When we got back, I handed out treats (best part of the job!) and met Ichabod. Let me tell you, that kitty is as big as a tiger—WOWEE!
It’s so magical spending time with this crew. All is calm, all is bright until next time!

Fritz and I had quite the magical outing! We took a long stroll, and let me tell you, my tiny elf feet could barely keep up with his speedy paws. Fritz was a superstar, greeting friends along the way and taking care of all his business.

But oh, the surprises! First, we spotted a HUGE skeleton Christmas decoration—a skeleton! Definitely not something we see at the North Pole. Then, I found a big bag and rushed over, certain it was full of toys from Santa. Let’s just say Fritz whispered in my ear and saved me some embarrassment. Spoiler alert - it wasn’t toys. 😳 Don’t worry, we disposed of it properly like the good Nice List buddies we are!

Fritz was ready for a nap after our journey. Can’t wait for our next adventure together!

All my elf-y best,
Nibbles Jinglefoot

Well, hello there! It’s me, Snickerdoodle Tinseltoes, Santa Paws’ newest pet care helper, here to report on my fun visit with Remi, Banjo and Fiddle.

Remi and Fiddle were having their own version of reindeer games, racing around the yard with so much energy they could’ve powered Santa’s sleigh! They kept looking my way, but let’s just say this elf is more of a spectator—I stayed up high where I was safe! Once they realized I wasn’t joining, they zoomed off on their own adventure.

Banjo, on the other hand, is my kind of pace. He let me take a cozy break on his bed for a bit—what a good boy!

I’ll be reporting to Santa that Banjo, Fiddle, and Remi are all solidly on the Nice List this year. Such wonderful pups! 🎅🐾

Ho, ho, hello! It’s me, Nibbles Jinglefoot! I had quite the adventure with Chloe today. While I was out inspecting her digging projects to be sure they’re still Nice List approved, I may have gotten myself stuck in a tree. Oops!
But no need to worry—Chloe came to the rescue! She stayed by my side, giving me her best “you’ve got this” look until I found my way down. What a hero! She also handled the windy day like a champ and did all her business perfectly.
Chloe’s firmly holding her spot on the Nice List—extra points for elf-saving heroics! I’ll be sure to let Santa know she’s one pawsome pup. 🐕✨

Tomorrow is the big day! Join us at Concord Road Animal Hospital for our holiday party, featuring festive treats and photos with the Grinch. All are invited from 10 a.m. to noon. Don’t miss the fun! 🐾💚

Santa knows that, like him, this is our busiest time of the year. So, he decided we should team up! To help us with all of our pet sitting visits and dog walks, Santa Paws has sent four of his best scout elves to lend a paw to the Home Run Pet Care team.

Meet our holiday helpers:

✨ Merry Happytail

✨ Archie Twinklepaws

✨ Nibbles Jinglefoot

✨ Snickerdoodle Tinseltoes

Not only will these festive friends be helping us care for your pets, but they’ll also be making sure your furry family members are staying on the nice list! As official Santa Paws scouts, they’ll report back to the North Paw Pole on all of the magic and mischief during our visits. And that’s not all—they’re very experienced with writing reports for Santa Paws, so they’ll also help us send our visit updates to you. Look for their cheerful (and maybe mischievous!) notes in your reports this month.

We’re so excited to have Merry, Archie, Nibbles, and Snickerdoodle join us for the holidays, and we can’t wait to share the fun with you and your pets! Be sure to follow their adventures with your fur-kids on our Instagram and Facebook accounts.

Let’s make this holiday season paws-itively magical! 🐾🎅

- The Home Run Pet Care Team

PS...If you haven't made your holiday pet sitting reservations yet, hurry! We will be booked solid soon and your pets will tell Santa to put you on the naughty list!

UPDATE: Great news! Mac has been adopted! He finally has his very own home for the holidays. ❤️
🎅🐾 Help Mac Find His Home for the Holidays! 🐾🎄
Meet Mac, the pint-sized senior sweetheart who’s ready to sleigh his way into your heart this holiday season! At 13 years young and 20lbs, Mac rocks the cutest underbite in town and has one wish on his list for Santa Paws: a cozy forever home where he can nap, cuddle, and be loved through his golden years. ❤️
Mac is a professional lounger who lives for naps, couch cuddles, and leisurely strolls exploring the local sights and smells. This cute little elf is potty trained, loves his crate (it’s his safe space!), and has been the perfect houseguest for his foster family. Mac is friendly with other laid-back pups who enjoy the finer (read: slower) things in life, and his foster can’t stop raving about how sweet he is!
Mac does have hyperthyroidism and a little "old man cough" due to a narrow airway, but it doesn’t stopWags & Walks Nashvilleppiest, sweetest cuddle pup around. 💕
Mac is available for adoption through our friends at Wags & Walks Nashville. We need YOUR help to find his forever family before Christmas! Share his story and help us find him his forever couch!
Head over to https://www.wagsandwalks.org/nash-available-dogs/p/mac to learn more about Mac and see if he's a good fit for your family. 🎅🐾
