Highlights
Pet care experience
40 years experience, animal lover!
Hi, I’m a professional dog trainer by trade with forty years experience. My training methods are always very gentle and balanced. I work from home in the La Quinta/Indio area. When you board your dog(s) with me they will always be loved and cared for, and will live and sleep indoors. While you are away I can send photos and videos. We take walks in the mornings. I only keep a couple of friendly dogs at a time. You are also welcome to stop by and inspect my home (bring your dogs so they can also check it out!). I can also pick up and deliver (limited range) at your schedule. Board your dogs with us over the holidays, or anytime knowing they will be safe and happy.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Excellent communication, the dogs loved Don. Don picked up our dogs the night before our flight (very helpful). Provided daily updates/pics, delivered the dogs without issue. Dogs were very happy and showing favor towards Don. We are grateful.
Had updates on my baby every day!
Don provided great care for our dogs, got his daily reports how their walks went. He was patient with our dogs and they seem to be happy. I would highly recommend him for your pets needs.
Don was great watching our two Berners overnight! Very responsive and sent some cute photos. Would highly recommend hiring Don to help with your dogs as well!
Don is great with our dogs! They come home happy and tired!!!
Don was a great sitter for our Golden Doodle! He kept us updated with how she was doing and some great pictures! He was also very flexible and accommodating. We will be using him again when in the Indio area! Thank you Don

Schedule
I’m a professional dog trainer and I also board and walk dogs. I work from home mostly so I always have time and room for one more!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Forty years professional experience with dogs. I’m home most of the day. We take morning and evening walks weather permitting. I closely supervise my pet guests!
A typical day
The older dogs prefer to just hang out indoors. I provide a safe and secure environment for them. The younger and more energetic dogs will take walks, play fetch, field trips to our local parks.
Prices include all fees.
