Pet care experience
Hi there! I've grown up around small and medium dogs. I've seen all sides, my mother raised rowdy Chihuahuas, (so I raised mine with manners in pure spite :D) and was taught by my grandmother to care for Schnauzers from puppies to passing. I've taken care of three generations of dogs, all various rescues from adoption centers, and I raised my girl, Chicken, since she was just 6 weeks. If you want proof of animal caring look no further than her, she's a loving Chihuahua, trained to be off-leash, and extremely well behaved, and we'd both be more than happy to meet you first before you decide to hire me, if you wish! Also, I like making little snacks for my dog, and I'll share with yours too if you are fine with it! Usually just simple thing, like some eggs or some chicken bites, but I've been known to make homemade doggie meatballs and other various treats for special occasions!
Reviews
Donald is absolutely fantastic! Very respectful and sends updates regularly.
Wonderful sitter!!
Donald is wonderful! He is very thorough and goes above and beyond taking care of my dog and keeping me updated. Would highly recommend him!
If I could give a million stars I would Donald house sat for 2 days and did amazing! He watched 3 adult dogs 3 puppies 3 chickens 3 bunnies and my cat! He was very professional and updated me daily. I came home to my house exactly the way I left it full food bowls and water bowls I am very pleased and will 100% use Donald again! I have a nanny cam set up so I could check in and it was not a problem for him. I noticed my bunny escaped the cage no fault to Donald at all, and called he answered right away and handled the situation calmly. I felt at ease the entire time.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a small apartment at the moment, so I would only be able to host one or two here alongside my girl. However, if needing to travel to your place, I'll happily bring her, some of her toys she likes to share, some of the MASSIVE amount of treats we have stockpiled (I have a subscription to BarkBox!) and maybe some precooked food, if you're ok with that (my dog loves eggs!). All of these will be provided here as well. At my apartment, there's plenty of grassy areas to walk around to, and I even typically just take Chicken out for a walk around the apartment block everytime I let her out!
Information Donald F. would like to know about your pet
Any allergies/dietary restrictions I need to know about, and please, and medical history deemed important, so I at least have something to work with in the event of food being prepped :)
A typical day
I'm new to the Springfield area, but I'd love to take your fluffy friend-o to his favorite spot, if you ask! I love to cook, so I might make some dinner for everyone ? and if your guy is friendly around other pets, I'd love to bring my own dog over for them to play together!

I'm retired on a medical technicality, so I have free time to give! Unfortunately, at the moment I have no cold weather clothing, and my vehicle is under repair, so the only things I'm restricted by at the moment is distance and weather! :)
