Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving & trusting care for your pet
As parents to fur babies of our own, we understand how stressful it can be to choosing the perfect caregiver for your beloved pets. Our primary goal is to provide an experience where your pet feels at home, so you can relax, worry-free! Recognizing that some pets experience separation anxiety or confusion in unfamiliar surroundings, we give them as much time as they need to get acclimated first. Our approach is to spend individual time with them in a quiet space (our den/basement), so we can get to know one another and allow them to get familiar with our home. Once they feel at ease, we gradually introduce them to our dogs (and any visiting pups) one at a time, giving them the opportunity to become acquainted and adjust comfortably. If any signs of discomfort arise from any of the pups, we will keep them in separate quarters of the home to ensure their safety. We are familiar with first-aid practices, including CPR for dogs, to administering allergy shots and managing various medications (both oral and topical).

Ratings and reviews
We recently relocated to the area and needed a sitter for the holiday weekend for our dog. Even with a family emergency Donna was still willing to take her in for the weekend. I appreciated the flexibility and will rebook for the next trip. Don’t hesitate and book now.
Donna and Brian were great with Cooper. They kept us updated and was flexible to our change in pickup time. Would definitely recommend them and use them for future sitting needs.
This was my first experience boarding my dog Donna & Brian made this experience so easy I was super nervous however they let me know that all was well and I truly appreciated that !! Thanks again and I know where to find you next time !! Awesome 10 out 10 I highly recommend!!
The BEST! I am so thankful I found Donna and Brian! My frenchie and mini-doodle couldn't be happier with them! They are treated like family and it feels like my pups get to go on vacay every time I go on one!
Corduroy had a wonderful stay with Donna, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he received! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt confident that he was in great hands. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Corduroy was treated like part of the family. He came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I truly appreciated the attention, patience, and genuine love shown to him throughout his stay. Thank you for taking such great care of Corduroy—I look forward to booking with you again!
I highly recommend Donna and Brain! They were reliable, caring, and accommodated me with short notice. My pet is well cared for, comfortable, and received plenty of attention. Knowing my pet is in such good hands gives me complete peace of mind. I will definitely book with them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.

Schedule
As I work full-time from home, my schedule offers great flexibility to accommodate the needs of your pet. However, we respectfully ask that drop off be after 6:30 a.m. and pick up is by 10 p.m. We will go out for potty breaks 4 times a day (early in the morning when everyone wakes up, mid day, after dinner, and right before bed). However, we will accommodate the schedule your pet is accustomed to.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My husband and I live in a spacious, three-level, end unit townhome. As we do not have a fenced yard, your dog will always be on a leash when outside. To maintain a safe environment, our yard has been treated with pet-safe pesticides to eliminate fleas, ticks, and other pests. For your convenience, we have small, medium, and XL crates, extra leashes (retractable and leads), bowls for water and food, and plenty of toys for pups to play with! We will provide your pup with bottled water, you just bring their food :) Lastly, as one of our Frenchies suffer from food allergies, we only provide pet safe raw fruits and veggies or all-natural, one-ingredient, dehydrated fruit or protein treats for our dogs, which your pet can enjoy as well (if permitted). We keep plenty of unscented baby wipes on hand to wipe their faces clean after their meals. There are two Furbo pet cameras in our home — one in the basement and one on the main floor, which allows us to closely watch over your pets when we need to step out. The cameras also allow me to throw treats at them right from the camera! We do allow our dogs and visiting pups on the furniture. However, we are fully dedicated to adhering to your specific provided instructions. Our ultimate goal is to create a comfortable and loving environment for your pup.

A typical day
We live in a beautiful golf-course community with scenic walking trails and a lake (Beechtree). On pleasant days, we’ll take leisurely strolls around the lake. We understand that each dog has unique needs and energy levels, and we are committed to tailoring our daily activities accordingly. During the weekdays, we’ll hang out in the cozy den/basement, and your fur baby would be my “work from home colleague” except they’ll likely be playing with a basket full of toys or simply laying around on the couch lol.
