No Place Like Home Away From Home!!

Pet care experience

ALL PET PARENTS PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING: Leave plenty of time to make arrangements for your precious furry family member! Repeat customers should make their requests at least a week in advance if possible . New customers need to inquire early so there is time for a meet and greet. I don’t take dogs sight unseen. !! 14th YEAR ON ROVER !! PLEASE NOTE THAT IN MY NEW LOCATION I AM ONLY TAKING DOGS UNDER 30 POUNDS!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT BE A PET PARENT THAT WANTS THEIR DOG TO STAY FOR THE FIRST TIME TWO DAYS BEFORE YOUR DATE OF DEPARTURE! I NEED AT LEAST A WEEK TO PROCESS NEW PUPS AND HAVE A MEET & GREET. I DONT TAKE A DOG WITHOUT A MEET & GREET! . I am open for new pups and conducting Meet & Greets. No last minute request for dogs that have not had a Meet & Greet. Dogs that have had a successful stay have the best chance for success with a last minute requests Many thanks to all my past pet parents for your kind words, rave reviews, who trusted me to care for, and love your darlings while you must be away. You are all dearly missed. Please get your requests in early. I miss seeing old friends and look forward to making new! Come join our furry family! You can't go wrong with Rover's No Place Like Home Away From Home where your furry children are free to sleep on furniture, run free in the yard, and even sleep in my bed! Whatever it takes to make a Rover pup happy, comfortable, and loved. Let's have a great 2024-5!

Donna was great! She provided frequent updates (with pictures!) and Twiggy seemed to really enjoy herself. Very pleased that we found Donna!

Information Donna G. would like to know about your pet

Moving from Massachusetts was huge. I love living here but I don’t have the space I had in past years up north. For those reasons, going forward, I am only taking small dogs under 30 lbs.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We walk around the neighborhood and visit the neighbors Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will sleep in his bed that you provide if he or she wants. I have a variety of pet beds all over the house and will not refuse a Rover.com guest if they want to jump into my human bed. Smile. Time I'll spend with your dog All day long, I am retired, and I clear my schedule, for the most part, when I have a Rover.com guest. I work on basic commands with my Rover.com pups and housebreaking. A puddle or two is no problem and frequent opportunities to go outside with reinforcement helps to achieve the goal of housebreaking with a reduction of puddles in the house.
