Retired breeder of German Shepherds

Pet care experience

As an adult, not a child with a pet, I have 43 years of dog breeding experience. That includes Poodles, Schnauzers, Golden Retrievers, German Short hairs, Blue Tick Coonhounds, Border Collies and German Shepherds. I have a thorough understand of dog care. I am clearly a dog lover and consider dogs a great gift from God.

It was reassuring to leave our dog with Don because I had total confidence in him, so nice that I didn’t need to worry while we were away. I appreciate that he does not keep any other pets at the same time and the fact that he is usually always at home. Don was also very accommodating as we were running late due to our flight, which I was thankful for.

Don was a fantastic dog sitter! He was able to take a last minute request and he was great with my dog Remi. He sent me picture updates and gave great feedback at pickup. Will definitely go to Don again for my dog sitting needs and would recommend him to anyone!

this was a wonderful and easy experience for me and my dog. They treated him like family. They spoiled him and it was really like a trip to the grandparents rather than a trip to the borders. I would recommend them with my Dusty anytime. It was such a wonderful experience.

I’m retired now and have lost my last companion. I miss having a dog in the house. I’m a healthy 79 year old but probably will not have another companion. I think this is second best.
