Welcome to Pooch Paradise!!

Pet care experience

I’ll make your dog’s stay feel like a retreat! I have been rescuing, fostering and owning dogs over the past thirty five years. I have room in my single-family, four story home in the downtown (Bay Village) with a lot of space for dogs to chill out, satisfy their curiosity and even find a nook or cranny they may get to love. I have a lovable, friendly 8-year-old Cavalier King Charles that I spoil silly as I will with you pup as well. My entire home is dog-friendly and I have lots of time to spoil them with attention! Since this is my full-time job, I will treat your dogs with the same care as my own dog who gets full run of the house! I have a charming fenced in private courtyard which is rare for the downtown area (or Bay Village more precisely). My schedule is flexible so I can usually take on new dogs at a moment's notice. I love taking pictures and videos of them so you will feel updated and can enjoy your time away knowing that you will have no worries. I look forward to meeting you and your precious pooches! I am currently working from home so your dog will always get the care and attention it deserves. I rarely leave my home without my dogs so your dog will always have me around to make sure they are doing great. Aside from owning my own spacious home, I have an enclosed patio courtyard which I allow my dogs to use every few hours to do their business, get some fresh air or sunbathe.

Donna took great care of Juno while I was away, making sure he got time at the dog park everyday and plenty of trips outside as well. He was spoiled with attention, treats, and dog friends. She also updated me regularly with photos and videos so I could see how he was doing. I felt very comfortable knowing Juno was with Donna and would definitely book with her again!

Poppy had another great stay with Donna! We love the regular updates and photos so we feel extra comfortable when Poppy is away from us. Donna does such an excellent job keeping our pup happy and relaxed.

Information Donna B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know whatever concerns you may have so I can be sure to accommodate your needs. I am available for phone chats or meet & greets. I just need to know that your dogs are generally friendly with other dogs. Also, let me know if I inundate you with too many of photos and videos of your precious dog :)

A typical day

I typically alternate hour long walks each day for play time at Boston Common, Peter’s Park and the Bay Village Dog Park. I make sure that the dogs get lots of attention with petting, snuggling and even sleeping with me. I document the day's events with lots of photos and video and communicate those through either direct messages on the Rover app.
