I WILL LOVE & CARE FOR YOUR DOG

Pet care experience

My parents gave me a Cocker Spaniel while I was a toddler. My whole life I have had at least one dog and more often than not I have had two or three. I have pup sat for many friends and have fostered more than 100 dogs. That number is not exaggerated. I founded Cavalier Rescue of Florida and was their first Director of Rescue. I held that position for 8 years until we moved to Alabama, but that Group is still going strong. Because I have had so many foster dogs in and out of my home I gained more knowledge than most in caring for dogs: very sick dogs, very old dogs, puppies and many fur babies that required daily medical treatments. I know how to check and treat diabetes, ear and eye problems, and give dogs injections if needed. I love all breeds of dogs and have had experience with many breeds and mixes. I honestly become unhappy when I am not surrounded by canines. I also am an experienced dog trainer and would be glad to give you instructions if you’re trying to train your dog. I currently foster for Cavalier Rescue USA, another great rescue organization.

Donna is absolutely the best dog sitter ever! Lucy loves her, Will and her doggie family. When I take her there, I am always confident that she’s getting the best care.

Donna and Will are wonderful caretakers. I've been using Rover for 10 years and they are one of the best sitters I have found. They are kind, compassionate, and provide a service that is next level. So grateful to have found them. Thank you for loving Hank during my absence!

Information Donna M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special-needs require some special treatment while he’s at our house. My goal is to give your dog the same treatment he gets at home and to make his or her time with me fun so that she will want to come back.

A typical day

I love to play with the dogs and their toys in our backyard. If it’s too hot outside, we have a big enough area to play inside. If you are in the process of training your dog, I’d love to practice with them during the day. I would follow whatever method you are using for training to practice.

I am retired and my husband who is also a dog lover is retired. We are at home most of the time and don't leave our dogs at home without crating them for safety reasons and for no more than five hours without having someone check on them. I can sit for your furbabies any weekday and on weekends. I always put caring for the dogs before anything else.
