Dogs..the reason my heart is happy

There has never been a time in my life I haven't had a 4 legged companion. I can't imagine life without my girls! I would love to share our life with your babies when you need a sitter.

We love Ms. Donna. This is our 3rd or 4th rebooking with her! She takes such great care of our Maggie Moo! Ms. Donna always treats Maggie like she is her own pup! We will be using Ms. Donna again!

Our experience with Donna as our pet sitter was great. We recently adopted a pup and had a previously scheduled trip, so we were a bit nervous to leave our pet. Donna made us feel at ease and our dog ended up having a great time. Donna communicated with us daily, letting us know how it was going, and provided lots of pictures. We will definitely be booking with her in the future.

Donna is out and our puppy’s favorite - she loves Sadie as her very own! She works with us on drop off and pickup times. We love her!

Donna was wonderful! My little troublemaker was quite a handful the first couple of days but Donna said by the third day things were working out better. Donna sent pictures and gave me updates. I would definitely recommend Donna for pet sitting services. Thank you again Donna!

Schedule

I drive a school bus every morning and afternoon....6am-9am and again 2pm-5pm. My dogs don't stay in crates and have a doggie door they can go in and out of. If yours need to stay in a crate while I'm gone, I will let them out as soon as I get home.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced back yard and a doggie door. If your dog doesn't know how to use a doggie door or needs to be kenneled I would let them outside every 2 or 3 hours or as needed. I have 2 dogs who are very friendly and get along with other dogs. Parker is a young, active border collie who loves to run and play with anyone who will run with her. Zoe is a schnorkie who can keep up with Parker but loves to cuddle and have her belly rubbed. She would be happy to share my lap! The dogs are allowed on the furniture and they both sleep with me. Your baby would be allowed to sleep with us also unless you request otherwise. Both of my dogs are up to date on their shots, take heartworm and flea meds and are spayed.

Pets

A typical day

We play with toys in the house and front yard. We usually go to the dog park in Gonzales every other day to run and get plenty of exercise.. If you would prefer your dog not going to the dog park we could just take walks around the neighborhood. There is a park nearby with a nice walking path. We also have educational treat toys and peanut butter lick pads.
