Donald was extremely responsive and friendly. Took great care of our dog and made sure to go above and beyond what is typical. He really cares about his clients can’t wait to book again.

Donnie was an absolute lifesaver. He watched my standard Goldendoodle and my Morkie for 19 days, and I honestly don’t know what I would have done without him. After a very stressful situation with another sitter on this app who was completely incapable of caring for my dog, Donnie stepped in and truly saved the day — and my peace of mind. He was extremely caring, patient, and attentive, and treated my dogs like they were his own. He provided consistent updates, photos, and check-ins, which meant everything to me while I was away. I never once had to wonder if my dogs were okay — I knew they were safe, loved, and well cared for. If you are looking for someone you can genuinely trust, especially for longer stays or multiple dogs, Donnie is that person. I am beyond grateful for him and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone.

Donald did a wonderful job taking care of our dog! He was responsible, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Our dog was happy, well-fed, and relaxed when we got back — a true sign that he was in great hands. Donald kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful for his care and would absolutely trust him to watch our dog again. Highly recommend! 🐾

Donald has been amazing with our two dogs, Bailey and Carmine. Bailey is diabetic, so I was nervous about how she’d handle training, but Donald treated her with so much patience and care. He kept her safe, made sure she was comfortable, and still pushed her to learn. Carmine is the wild one, full of energy, and Donald’s training helped channel that energy into listening and following commands. Now both dogs are more obedient, calmer at home, and they even work well together. I can honestly say Donald went above and beyond for us.

Lola is a completely different dog thanks to Donald Nance. House-trained, obedient, and no longer aggressive with other dogs—her transformation is real and remarkable. The training works, plain and simple.

Schedule

Caring for dogs isn’t my side gig—it’s my full-time commitment. As a business owner, I have the freedom and flexibility to dedicate my days to providing top-quality care for dogs. That means your dog isn’t squeezed into a busy schedule—they get my full attention, patience, and time. This isn’t just a job, it’s my life’s passion, and it shows in the way I care for every pup as if they were my own.” Full-Time Care, Full-Time Love—Because Dogs Deserve More Than a Side Gig.”

Safety, trust & environment

Every dog in my care gets more than the basics—they get a home. At my single-family house, dogs enjoy a safe, spacious fenced-in yard where they can run, play, and explore freely. Inside, they’re treated like part of the family, with comfort, structure, and plenty of attention. From walks and playtime to training reinforcement and quiet downtime, I tailor the experience to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your pup loves fetch, belly rubs, or simply lounging in the sun, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and cared for—just like they would at home.”

Pets

A typical day

Your pup’s day will be packed with fun, love, and exercise. We’ll start off in my spacious fenced yard where your dog can safely run, play, and burn off energy. Just up the street, we’ll take a trip to the dog park for some social time with other pups. Back at my place, I’ve got a doggie pool ready for splashing and cooling down, plus plenty of toys to keep tails wagging. Between play sessions, your dog will get all the belly rubs, cuddles, and attention they deserve. By the end of the day, you’ll have one happy (and tired!) pup.
