Your pups new best friend!
Pet care experience
I've loved dogs since I was a little kid, I always wanted to go and play with every dog we saw growing up. For years, I had asked my parents for a dog, and they finally said yes a few years ago. Since getting my dogs, a 9 year old Shitzu and a 9 year old Maltese Yorkie, my love for them only grew, and I love taking care of them. I've always known that I wanted to work with dogs once I got older. I've watched and currently watch over many dogs, whether they stay at my house or I go to theirs. I'm more familiar with smaller/medium sized dogs, but I am very comfortable with all sizes. I give every dog I work with my constant attention and care. I walk, feed, clean up after, give medicine to them, and of course, lots of cuddles and pets. Every pup is different, and I will do my absolute best to work with you and listen to instructions about how to give yours the best experience they could wish for.
Reviews
Donald has worked with two of my dogs and he is excellent. He plays with the dogs and exercises them too. The dogs are happy to be with him and love the attention. He is also flexible with his schedule when he can be. I highly recommend and still use his service.
Donald is a reliable, caring dog sitter who went above and beyond by providing my little Beamer with all the necessary essentials of nutrition and exercise as well as a a loving, caring approach! During one evening, some unexpected pre Fourth of July neighborhood fireworks spooked my pooch and Donald knew just how to keep Beamer feeling calm and soothed! Donald is also very flexible with his schedule and able to accommodate all of my pet sitting needs!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a house, and have a fenced in yard that contains a driveway, a deck, and large patch of grass for your puppy to do their business and have fun in! I have two 9 year old pups of my own, a Shitzu and a Maltese Yorkie. They'll greet your dog at arrival, but for the most part they mind their own business. I live with my mom, dad, and my two sisters. We all love dogs and will give your puppy all the attention they need. The dogs are allowed on most of the furniture and will be able to sleep anywhere on the first floor, or with me in my bed. I will follow any rules you have at your home and will treat your pup as similar to the way you do!
Information Donald M. would like to know about your pet
Of course it's helpful to know the breed, age, and size of your pup. Knowing your dogs personality and average energy level throughout the day will also help to better prepare for the time I'm watching your dog. Any activities that they like, any words or commands they're familiar with, and anything that's unique to your dog will be extremely helpful for giving your pup the best experience possible.
A typical day
I love to give dogs any type of attention they need, whether it's running around outside, playing fetch, going for walks, creating stimulating mini-games for them, or even simply lying down and giving some relaxing pets. I love it all. Depending on the area, I know of some places that have open fields for your pup to run around in and dog parks to socialize in. I'd also love to hear of new places that I can take your dog to!

Availability
I am currently free throughout the summer (besides a couple week-long vacations) and will be available most days. Come late August, I will be beginning school again and will have a more packed schedule, but I will be efficient in communicating my availability and will work around my schedule to make as much time for your pup as possible.
