Information Don S. would like to know about your pet

Must be ok with children and specifically a 6 year old. Our community does not allow us to sit any pit bulls. Sorry about that

A typical day

We live lake side in a gated community. We will walk all around our neighborhood and visit the gazebo and lake. I let your dog smell every mailbox and light pole if they want to.

Don S.'s Neighborhood

dog loving family

Pet care experience

our family is dog crazy, we will give your pup/s lots of attention. Our HOA does not allow pit bulls, sorry. We have always let our pet visitors roam the house as they please but if you are into cage / crate training we can easily support that as well. Our daughters (18, 16 and 6) will give your pup/s lots of love and plenty of energy expenditure. Hope your dog loves barking at birds and squirrels because we see lots of them all day! We have a large screened in lanai and spend most of the day outdoors. We can administer medicine if needed and have boarded dozens of dogs through the rover.com web site. When your pup/s stays they will be sure to have wonderful time for we provide clean cold filtered water, lots of walks and playtime, and a safe and comfortable home and community. Thank you for considering our home for your pup/s

I cannot put into words how grateful I am for the way Don and family cared for my dog, Dolce. Unexpectedly and abruptly, my fur baby entered his final days, and they welcomed him into their home with such love and compassion, as if he were their own. Their kindness, patience, and genuine care were truly a blessing during such a tender time. I believe God placed them in our lives for a reason, and I will forever be thankful for the comfort and love they gave to Dolce and to me. 1000 stars.

Don and his family took such great care of my Golden, and I would highly recommend his services! He sent a lot of great photos and videos and kept me up-to-date with how she was doing. He is kind, responsive and very accommodating to my sometimes very quirky and high maintenance pup. I am so thankful for his family and the love they showed my girl in my absence!

We are so very thankful to have Don & family board our 3yrz old 80 pound Teddybear (Goldendoodle). They kept us updated about his activities & well being throughout the day.They were very professional, communication great. Took our Teddybear outside & on many walks. Will Book with Them Again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND 10/10.
