Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Donna and I would love to meet you and care for your pet. While I have had many dogs and cats throughout my life, I spent part of that time raising guide dog puppies. Those years have taught me so much about dog behavior and dog handling skills. I am skilled in leash and collar handling techniques and utilize positive reinforcement; verbal, physical praise and food reward. I truly love caring for and handling dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages. While I do provide in my home boarding services for dogs, I prefer to get to know your dog first to see if they are a good fit for my household. I live with my husband, 2 dogs (a bernedoodle and a Labrador), and 2 cats in a home with a fully fenced yard. I also provide daily walks and drop in services for your dog or cat. Let me know how I can help care for your pet.

Donna did an amazing job yet again. She got food for my dog after running out (which was my fault).

Donna was amazing. You can tell she loves animals. She even brushed and cut my dog’s nails.

Donna was wonderful! The cats loved having her stop by and spend time with them while we were on vacation
