Pet care experience
As a pet owner and former Veterinary Assistant I will bring compassionate and enthusiastic care and exercise to your furry family members. I understand the need to have a well socialized and well behaved dog. I no have hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and all life stages. I’m also familiar with canine and feline medications and dispensing them, including injections. I was also a owner of backyard chickens for 5 years and am more than happy to look in on yours while you are away. I’m very capable of walking more than 1 dog (I own 2 large dogs myself). I’m also a life long cat owner and would happily check in on yours when you can’t be home. Slow strolls with an elderly dog, a jog with an energetic puppy, a game of fetch, or a bit of companionship to break up the day, all pet care needs you may have will be considered so please contact me with questions. My work schedule leaves me available for walks or drop ins most days from 1-3, I am available in Mt.Horeb, Fitchburg, and Verona. Walks and drop in visits during week days are only available between the hours of 12:30-3, except Tuesday when I am available all day! Every animal deserves the best care!
Reviews
Donella is trustworthy, caring, knowledgeable, and considerate. She has had vast experiences with animals, both as a long-time pet owner and from her years working in a veterinarian's office. I know that my dogs are in good hands when she takes care of them. After a walk with Donella, my dogs come home happy, healthy, and tired; what more could I ask for?
Doni has been great with our 2 dogs. Roxie, our frenchie mix and Axl our Boston terrier, can be a bit of a handful. Axl is dog reactive, and without missing a beat Doni handled him so well on walks. Shes very attentive to the dogs and quickly learned how to read our dogs body language to understand when and how to avoid confrontations. And it helps that they adore her! She always has special treats on hand for them since they both have sensitive stomachs. We request her dog walking services regularly!
Donella did a fabulous job helping my geriatric little Schnoodle, Calvin. She used her expertise from working at the animal hospital to make recommendations to keep him comfortable in his old age. I have known her for over 15 years, and she has never had less than two dogs of her own. She understands how dogs age and what they need.
