Love Compassion & Care

Pet care experience

As a Dog lover of all breeds I find myself apprehensive when it comes to PITBULLS due to past experiences. So I prefer not to host PITBULL breeds. I can’t even begin to tell you how important animals are to me. They are my life. Having been a pet owner since the age of 7 where I learned to care for rabbits, which soon escalated to dogs, cats, horses, and even ducks. I can claim with absolute certainty that pets have an uncanny ability to teach us, humans, certain things better than any person can. If one is willing to allow pets to become part of their personal development team, many true gifts of learning can be nurtured such as true unconditional love, selfless giving, responsibility, compassion and especially forgiveness as animals love with their hearts. Let me please introduce myself to you. I am an animal lover always have been always will be. I live off a large wooded area and take care of all the wildlife living behind me making sure they never go hungry. I run and own my own business called Critter Cuddle Care. I have 30+ years’ experience in home or away services providing outstanding pet care assistance utilizing genuine love for animals, and concern for their health, happiness, and well-being. I offer: • Compassionate Care • Experience with all breeds • Posses a power over leashed animals up to 85 lbs • Demonstrated ability to comply with owners policies and procedures at all times • Scheduled feeding and Freshwater monitoring • Daily planned activity playtime • Record stool or urine anomalies • Skilled with administering meds • Pet massage and Reiki. My skill sets include: • Exceptional attention to detail • Responsible and organized • Profound time management skills • Reliability and the ability to prioritize tasks. Breed exceptions • I prefer not to host Pitbull breeds. Meet and Greets are mandatory! As I need to get a sense of your dog's behavior to determine if we are a good fit and can accept the booking stay. All meet and greets are done in a public location. I do not go to the owner's home. It is important I observe the dog in a neutral territory. I am available full time to provide daily moment by moment pet care interactions through play activities, cuddle time, and on average 6-8 daily walks. I only do pet boarding in my home. I do not go to owners locations. HIGHLIGHTS I care for pets in my home through daily monitoring pet Behavior which would include fresh water monitoring , checking stool and urine anomalies, schedule play time and daily activities. I am available full time to provide plenty of cuddles and snuggles and playful activities such as running on my wooded trails and 6-8 walks per day. I have a large wooded property with trails behind my home. I care for your pet with careful observation of fresh water monitoring, any urine or stool anomalies, and making sure they always eat all their meals and take all necessary meds.

Had a marvelous stay as usual. Donna watched our little poodle mix and he thoroughly enjoyed himself with all the videos I saw of him wagging his tail and playing with all his toys for hours. Donna spoils him for sure . We always have the best stress free vacation knowing that our little boy is in the very best of hands! Thank you so much again you're the best!!

We are so thankful for Donna. She loves our Cooper like he’s her own. Cooper is excited to see her and loves the one-on-one attention he gets when he’s with Donna. And we know that Cooper is well taken care of and loved while we’re away. Donna is truly a gift to our family. And Cooper loves her and so do we!

My husband and I and the kids went on a two-week vacation. Donna watched our girl Bella. She has been watching Bella for several years now. And we would never ever think about changing anything about that preference. Donna provides the most excellent care I have ever experienced in a pet sitter. She goes Way Beyond what you might expect! Our dog is groomed, nails are clipped, coat is shiny, she even, examins her for lumps. Bella also receives home baked healthy organic treats! Our girl is so healthy and happy when I return on the pickup day. Thank you!!! Always a wonderful boarding stay.

My Beagle stayed with Donna this past week. He loves snow. He had so much fun running through the piles when Donna was shoveling. I was able to see him having all this fun from the pictures and videos Donna sent to me. Always receive lots of updates and know my boy is safe. Thank you again for providing the very best of care!
