The holiday season is filled with food and fun, but we can't forget our 4-legged family members who need care during our time away from home. The busy holiday travel season is underway, but what about our furry friends who may not be included in the festivities? Not to worry. Nashville dog lady Lindsay Hess has you covered with her pet sitting service. We caught up with her during a visit to Caroline and Zoey, 2 loving Beagles. It's important to let your pet sitter know details about your pet's needs. For example, Zoey is partially paralyzed, so they have a special routine.
"The both eat separately, otherwise Caroline finishes her food very fast, then goes and tries to eat Zoey's food," says Hess.
Once they are done eating, the rest of the visit is spent with lots of love and attention. Even though her name is the Nashville Dog Lady, Lindsay cares for a variety of animals in the Davidson and Williamson County area.
"We have tons of cats, birds, chinchillas, rabbits, chickens, hedgehogs," says Hess. "If they don't know they're gonna be staying out extra late, they'll call me last minute, could you maybe let so and so out, we haven't been home in a while, so we are able to do that too which is nice."
Dr. Prior with Murphy Road Animal Hospital has some advice for choosing the pet sitter who is right for you.
"Check references," says Dr. Prior. "Know that these people do a good job, that they are reputable, you want to make sure they are licensed and bonded."
Dr. Prior is in the FOX17 studio to answer your pet questions every Wednesday on TENNESSEE MORNINGS.

Miss. chooses new firm to run Woodville prison
May 18, 2013 20:50 GMT
WOODVILLE, Miss. (AP) -- Mississippi officials have picked a new company to run the Wilkinson County Correctional Facility.
Utah-based Management and Training Corp. announced Friday that the Mississippi Department of Corrections has chosen it to run the 1,000-bed prison starting July 1, the Natchez Democrat reports (http://bit.ly/10MvOGv).
Corrections Corporation of America, based in Nashville, Tenn., had run the prison since 1998. MTC says it will keep "the vast majority" of employees.
MTC will get a five-year contract to run the prison with two one-year options. Last year, officials chose MTC to take over East Mississippi Correctional Facility, the Walnut Grove Correctional Facility and the Marshall County Correctional Facility from the GEO Group. MTC won 10-year contracts for each.
CCA still runs the Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility and the Adams County Correctional Center in Mississippi.
