Retired Empty Nester fenced in yard

Pet care experience

This is the first time in my life that I have not had a dog. I lost my beloved Yorkie in April of 2021.I am retired and have a bucket list of Vacations on the horizon....but house seems so empty without a 4 legged friend.

Daisy loved staying with Donelle. Donelle sent pictures practically everyday. I would highly recommend Donelle to watch your dog while you are on vacation. We have already re-booked for our next vacation.

Miss Donelle was so caring and kind. He even got to sleep in the bed with her! My sweet boy will definitely be back.

Phoebe enjoys staying with Donelle. She especially likes the backyard. And I can enjoy my time away without any worries about my dog. Phoebe has started eyedrops since her last visit and Donelle was totally on board with administering them.

Information Donelle M. would like to know about your pet

My preference are breeds that do well on a leash. In the past 5 years I have had senior citizen dogs. I have no problem providing them with a quiet and safe place while you are away. Potty trained only.

A typical day

I walk daily at my local nature preserve usually 2 spins around the lake which is 1 mile each lap.It is very dog friendly as are the people who frequent it. It is perfect for a socially adjusted pooch.Good leash walkers need only only apply.
