Years of Experience
A Legacy of Nashville Dog Care Excellence
In 2004 Donna and Tiffany, a mother/daughter team of entrepreneurs, opened Red Rover Pet Services LLC on Calvin Av in East Nashville. Their target care was small dogs.
In 2005 Heidi and Robert bought Red Rover. Heidi expanded daycare to all size dogs. The location was not zoned for boarding so only daycare, training, and grooming were offered. They found out that week that Heidi was pregnant with Svea.
In September 2008, Red Rover moved to a much larger location at 4th Ave North in Germantown. Heidi expanded services to include boarding. She established boarding with dogs in social group and a person onsite at night for added safety. Heidi was asked to help establish the Pup Parade for our best friends at the annual Germantown Street Festival, now the Nashville Oktoberfest. Svea’s miniature dachshund Rubi later inspired the Dachshund Derby and went on to win races for several years. Rubi passed in 2024 at approximately 15 years.
In September 2013, Red Rover moved to a nicer building on the other side of downtown. 315 Hermitage Avenue housed boarding, daycare, training, and grooming for 10 years.
In October 2023, Red Rover moved to 5 acres at our home and mini farm in West Nashville. Heidi downsized care to boarding and began work on WilloWisdoM. This allowed her to spend time with Svea while she finished High School and headed south to continue her schooling. Heidi and Rob cry often but Svea is thriving as a new adult!
