Home full time- Retired teacher

Pet care experience

I have been around animals all my life. My dad was an FFA teacher and I grew up raising pigs and having family dogs. I am currently a retired elementary school special needs teacher with lots of patience. We love going for walks around the neighborhood and sitting outside on the patio. I treat visiting dogs like a member of the family. I love cuddling with dogs as I read a good book. I have a larger home where there is lots of room for your dog to run around and play. If your dog likes to be outside I have a large screened in patio and a partially fenced in yard. If I cared for your pet they would get lots of love and attention.

Donna was great! It was the first time leaving my dog using the app, and she was so reassuring and helped me feel comfortable. She sent us updates and photos every day, my Lola was safe and happy. Definitely recommend!

Donna and Jeff are incredible people! They took such great care of my dogs and kept us consistently updated throughout their stay, which gave me real peace of mind. It was clear the dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would recommend them without hesitation any day.

Donna was absolutely amazing! From the start, communication was great and I felt completely comfortable leaving my pet in their care. They sent regular updates and photos, which made such a difference. My pet came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would 100% book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving.
