LIFETIME DOG AND CAT LOVER!!!
Pet care experience
I have owned cats and dogs all my life, and so has my husband. We LOVE cats and dogs, and they really take to us! Love walking the dogs, playing with them, tossing the ball and pampering them! When it comes to cats, if they are contented, happy and purring, everybodies happy!! I have cared for Many dogs and cats, my own, plus via house-sitting! All the owners have been very pleased and have said they would use us again in a heartbeat! They say they love our attention to detail in their home & with their sweet pets! We are honest, trustworthy, and genuinely concerned for your pet's best interest and the safety of your home. We are retired and have plenty of time on our hands to dedicate to your pets! We like to help with repairs, painting, and such while staying in your home to be of added service! I used to be a professional cleaner and my husband is a handyman of many talents, so your home, as well as your sweet pets, will be in good hands!
Reviews
This was our first time using Rover and Donna and Rob could not have been more patient and kind. They came and met my husband and I and our two Rottweilers, Bear and Mika. They were great with the dogs from the time they came in the house. Donna explained how Rover worked and even offered references to make me feel more at ease. We were only gone two nights but Donna sent me text pictures the whole time we were gone. When we came home we found our dogs resting and comfortable. Donna and Rob did a great job and truly went the extra mile. We would not hesitate to use them again. Anita & Mike Roberto
After 1 1/2 days of being home from one trip Donna came back to stay at our house so we could visit relatives. It was so easy having Donna come and stay at our house for a second time. Familiarity with routines, the house, and dog personalities made it easy for us to go away and easy on our 3 dogs because they remain in familiar surroundings. The timing of this trip to visit relatives wasn't planned much in advance but Donna looked at this stay as a way to help us by providing worry free care for our dogs. The bonus was finding a great macaroni salad in the fridge.
We had a unique situation and opportunity to be away for 1 week, come home for 1 1/2 days and leave again for another week. What we wished for our 3 dogs (2 of the 3 senior dogs) was that they stay in their own home and yard with as little disruption as possible. Donna allowed us to do that by staying at our home and maintaining our dog routines for us. Our dogs had a "stay - cation" and we had the vacation. Donna posted pictures and sent us notes so we didn't worry. Upon our return we found 3 happy girls who welcomed us home as if we never had been away. Also upon our return we found a plate of delicious cookies handmade by Donna

First we find out what the pet likes most and their daily routine. We also ask what the owners want us to restrict, like snacks.
Information Donna D. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if the dog has any special needs. Also is he generally given bits of people food or never. Does he have a tendency to chew on things, like shoes? Is he good around other dogs, on walks? How does he respond to children? Does he have any allergies? Can he get agressive? What triggers that? Does he like to sleep on the bed or in a kennel?
A typical day
We take them for walks, not jogs. If they like to play catch, that's fun! Or just to snuggle on the sofa and be petted.

My husband and I are retired. I am in the process of writing a book which keeps us at the house most of the time.
