Availability

I am retired; I work independently from home and have a lot of free time. I am looking for some fur babies to take care of so their guardians can feel comfortable leaving them. I will treat all dogs and cats like my own and I take their care very serious. If that means sending daily videos or pictures to their guardians to put them at ease, I am happy to do just that.

Information DONNA C. would like to know about your pet

I have experience with older, special needs cats and dogs, and will be happy to help keep your fur baby safe and taken care of in your absence. Please let me know if you have a special need for your fur baby. I do have a female pup under one year that has not been spayed at this time, so I can only watch neutered males for Doggy Daycare at this time.

A typical day

Keeping a pet busy keeps their mind stimulated. Playing fetch, long walks, and activities in a safe area will make them feel happy and fulfilled. I spend a minimum of 30 minutes ensuring they are happy and safe before ending each drop-in visit. I have a large fenced in area with an attached open kennel with cover from the sun, where they can stay cool and relax.

Pets

Fur babies need unconditional love

Pet care experience

I have owned cats and dogs all of my life and can't imagine my home without them. Animals give us unconditional love, and they deserve the same in return. I have given IV treatments to ailing cats with kidney damage and experience with dispersing meds/pills by mouth. I will treat all your loved ones with the same care that I provide my own.

Donna deserves the highest praise. She demonstrated exceptional patience with my energetic three-year-old Chocolate lab, allowing her space to expend her energy. Additionally, she showed remarkable understanding and kindness towards our one-year-old Chihuahua, addressing his submissive urination and providing reassurance. I would highly recommend her services!!!
