Exclusive Pet Retreat!

Pet care experience

Elvis and Sochi are always eager for fun playmates and you can trust your doggy too, will be in the utmost care having a good time. We have a gated yard where the dogs can run and play. We live in a nice, safe neighborhood. Our house is in a culdesac away from traffic, with numerous parks in the immediate area. We are a loving and responsible family you can feel secure leaving your pet with overnight. Our dogs are special needs service dogs we love helping others with special needs. smaller dogs and older dogs especially. Update: Our beloved Elvis crossed the rainbow bridge from cancer August 5th, 2020 he was our best friend and is missed everyday. About this sitter: Dog Sitting , training, feeding. I love dogs and will pamper your pooch! Why I love dog sitting I have always loved dogs and have assisted a professional dog trainer that realized my ability to develop working relationships with dogs especially runts, sharp shy, and scared dogs by running those dogs with my bicycle lots of love and postive reinforcement and using rewards based training. together we where able to rescue many dogs for service work. Meet my pets We have 2 cockapoo's that are pet and kid friendly. They are brother and sister and we have had them since they were puppies. Elvis is a diabetic alert service dog and his sister Sochi is in training for hearing alert. About my yard We have a nice backyard with both grass and cement runs it is fenced and gated with plenty of room to play. I am planning on building some obsticals for training. My experience administering medication I can administer pills or shots with dog parents instructions

Donald has a most calming demeanor with the dogs. He makes sure your dog is welcomed as well as the parents by sending pictures and informing you of all the interactions with your pet. I would highly recommend Donald to anyone!

Wonderful sitter! Very communicative from booking to after pick up. Sent lots of pictures and Lucy looked very well taken care of. She is very relaxed which shows that she was not stressed during her stay. I will definitely book with them again when Lucy needs a sitter. Thank you so much!!

Donald was very attentive to my dog’s needs. He made sure that Smidgey will be comfortable while at his care. I highly recommend him and he’ll definitely be my go to sitter from now on.

Information Donald P. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know as much as possible about your dog's likes, dislikes and any behaviors so that we can task accordingly. I am very interested in working with people that have special needs such as service dog, therapy dog, companion dog training. I am currently training 2 service dogs one for diabetic alert and one for hearing impaired but would love to expand into other areas of service dog training.
