Animal Lover, 26yrs Vet experience

Pet care experience

Hi Pet PAW-rents welcome to Four Paws Inn, L.L.C. my name is Donna and I was born and raised in Waxhaw, NC. I am a retired Veterinary Nurse with over 26 years experience. I'm now a fulltime stay at home Dog Mom, & Pet Sitter. I am an expert with medication administration, and taking care of pets with special needs. I have also been a fear free certified professional since 2018 & we are members & insured with Pet Sitters Associates. My husband Adam and I have been married since 2013 and we have 2 dogs named Soso & Tucker. We adopted our 2 foster pups Soso back in 2016 and Tucker in 2019. I have been fostering pups since 2010. We live in a ranch-style house and our neighborhood has plenty of walking trails. I get how stressful it can be finding someone to leave your pets with while you go out of town or off to work. We love your pups like they are our own & you can be sure they are in the right hands. We are so excited for them to become part of our family ❤️ ***All pets must have an INTAKE form filled out per pet before boarding or daycare. I will send this over when you book with me. Thanks!

Did a meet and greet before hand which I really liked! Donna had so many dog friendly accommodations that made my dogs so comfy. The dogs all got along so well. Will definitely use her for more of our future dog sitting needs.

Donna is the BEST dog sitter! She sends pictures and updates, loves on my dogs, and my dogs are always excited when they get to go to her house!

Donna made my first vacation away from my six month old puppy Dolly a breeze! She sent me regular updates and pictures over the 3 days. It calmed any nerves I may have had. My puppy may have even come back more well behaved. I can’t thank her enough. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again. Dolly had SO much fun!

Dog boarding in our home: You will drop your dog(s) off at a previously discussed time. This helps everyone stay on schedule. If for some reason you cannot be on time let us know as early as possible to reschedule your time slot. Drop off and pick up hours are between 𝟴am - 𝟭𝟭am 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟱pm - 𝟵pm. We can be flexible on the pick-up and drop-off times but ask that they be at a reasonable hour. Doggy Daycare: Is a daytime service where you drop your dog(s) off for the day anytime between 𝟴am - 𝟭𝟭am 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟱pm - 𝟵pm. But I am flexible if those times don't work. **We do not offer ongoing daycare** Bath add on: If you would like your pup to come home smelling clean & fresh after their fun doggie vacay, you can add on a bath for them before pickup! Bath time would include a warm water rinse followed by a scrub with an all-natural ingredient Shampoo that's safe for your 4-legger babies. It's made with organic olive, coconut, and jojoba oils. It is cruelty free and is hypoallergenic. Then we'll towel them off and get them ready to head home. **Please note, we do not offer grooming such as haircuts. ** We can however Dremel nails if the pet is comfortable with it. A typical day at our house includes lots of snuggles, playtime, walks and potty breaks. We have a large, fully fenced in back yard that's 6 feet high and live in a spacious house. We have an awesome pup play room/guest suite we just renovated to meet your pups needs if they want a more private area to relax. Our two dogs are very friendly with other dogs. They're allowed on our furniture and sleep in bed with us - your dogs can do the same! We also have large crates if needed for your pups. Some dogs love sleeping in their bed while others prefer their crate or or the comfy couch. Anywhere your pup is used to sleeping we will accommodate them at our house!

Information Donna C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet(s) have any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. Always make sure to let us know if your dog(s) have any type of separation anxiety, health issues, or social tendencies such as being food aggressive or timid around other dogs/people. We would like to know as much as possible regarding your pet(s) Their age, weight, breed, and habits regarding diet, any medical conditions, play & 'going potty' information. Please bring your pets current rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella vaccine records at drop off. Be sure to arrive with enough food, medications, treats, or other food items your pet will need while you're away. Please bring their collar or harness, leash, bedding if you like, and their favorite toy. (We do have plenty of blankets, bowls, beds, and toys if you prefer to not bring them.) Everything gets sanitized and cleaned daily.

A typical day

Your pups will get lots of attention and cuddles while you're away. They will go outside for potty breaks and play time frequently throughout the day. We ALWAYS accompany our fur friends outdoors while they are playing/using the potty. My two pups love to run, walk, and jog-- so I can go the pace your dog loves. You will receive an abundance of pictures, videos, and updates during your pups visit. I send at least a couple of updates a day but you can always ask for more! I have a home security system with cameras indoors/outdoors that help keep an eye on your pet(s) even while we are sleeping or running out for a quick errand.
