I’m Donna and I love dogs! I’m retired and have plenty of time to devote to animals, so Donna’s One Dog at a Time Dog Sitting service was born. It’s been a hoot and I love meeting new furry pals. My most experience with "visitor doggies" is the three years I have had Donna's One Dog at a Time Dog Sitting Service. They are all so different! Some want to play, and some want to snuggle. I am not a dog expert, just a dog lover. I am lucky to have the support of a great vet and an expert dog behaviorist in the neighborhood so you can feel comfortable having your pup in my care. Plus I am retired and rarely leave the house (Thank you, Peapod and Amazon!), so I’m fully committed to the safekeeping of your best pal. I provide a quiet environment with lots of hugs and kisses. But if the client wants it, their dog can romp in the yard, either alone or when the other tenants are exercising their dogs. It's like a mini-dog-park at times! We're lucky because the landlord is a dog lover. So if your dog likes to cuddle on the couch while watching MSNBC, or play fetch in the yard, we've got it covered. I live in courtyard building in Andersonville with a fenced-in yard. I share it with a mellow Belgian Sheepdog named Zephyr who is six years old. He’s my whole raison d’etre. We go for walks every day and play ball in the yard. In between, we watch TV! My neighborhood is very dog-friendly and pups are welcome in all the shops, and every neighbor seems to want to say hi. If your pet likes people, we got 'em. If your pooch likes other doggies, there are two Bichons in the next apartment who would love a play session in the fenced courtyard. When I’m not pet sitting, I enjoy the companionship of good friends, a fine meal, and a loyal dog. I will admit to having two piercings on my face now that I am retired from nursing! My family disapproves. They say I look like a rebellious 16 year old. But I like them!
