Safety, trust & environment
We have a dog friendly home. We live on a country road. Though we don't have a fenced area we take dogs out on leash for potty walks several times a day.

Information Donna C. would like to know about your pet
I'll want to know a lot about your dog....but all of that is taken care of when owners fill out my printed questionnaire about eating, sleeping, special quirks, energy level, etc. etc. That completed form gets hung on the refrigerator where we can refer to it the whole time your pup is with us.
A typical day
If your dog requires long walks or runs, we might not be the right fit for you, but we find that small dogs have more than enough room to run around in our house. We also take dogs on short walks weather permitting. We play fetch and tug of war in the house with them so do bring a few toys if they like that.

Married couple at home full time
Pet care experience
My husband Roland are both retired and I board small dogs weighing up to 15 lbs in our home for periods of up to 2 weeks. We raised miniature poodles years ago and love dogs but do not have a dog of our own now. There are also no children, teens, or other pets in our home. When you come for a Meet & Greet with your dog, we can confirm that your dog is a good fit for us and you can determine if you think we are a good fit for you and your pet. We will board only your dog if your dog does not get along with other dogs. We will occasionally offer DAY CARE for single days, but not multiple consecutive days where your dog would come here and go back home the same day. Dogs are allowed to sleep with us if that is what they are accustomed to at home. We find boarding is the perfect way to still have dogs in our lives and home while providing a much needed service for pet owners who'd rather leave their dog in a loving home than in a kennel when they travel. We have a clean spacious country home less than 5 minutes from an animal hospital and 5 miles east of Rt. 95. I work part time at home and between myself and my husband Roland, we are able to provide loads of TLC for your dog. Your pet will get as many potty breaks "on leash" as needed. You can be far away without a worry in the world knowing that your pet is in safe and caring hands. We can keep you updated via text or phone if you like.
Reviews
Donna took wonderful care of little Maple! So much so, that we already booked her again for later this year!
Donna and Rolland were amazing. They gave so much love and support to my furbaby Jazmyn while I was on a 10 day vacation! Not once did I worry or feel any stress while on my trip. I felt like Jazmyn was in the best hands and I was right! I highly recommend Donna and I will definitely be booking with her again. Also, Jazmyn loved her which made it that much better!💜🐾
Having ruckus watched by Donna and Roland was a huge relief on our trip. He was well loved and well cared for, which we appreciate. They are very kind and flexible with their accommodations!
Donna and Roland have been fantastic with our dog, this was his first time boarding. They have taken an exceptionally great care of him. Great communication and has gone above and beyond making sure he was eating. I could not recommend them enough as dog-sitters and we’ll be sure to use them again in the future! Thank you very much for your care and hospitality!
