Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring and Responsible home
We've had dogs almost all of our lives and because of our extraordinary care our last 3 dogs lived almost 18 years each. What a blessing they all were. The last one recently passed. We have experience with both puppies and senior dogs and are not afraid of dealing with their special issues. We understand, we all have special issues at times. We are looking forward to caring for your doggies, as well as you would care for them.

Ratings and reviews
Donna is FABULOUS!!! She was every responsive, on time and my pups LOVE her! She sent so many updates and pictures. My little Pom is very shy at first and she was able to hold him and give him snuggles with an hour of meeting him. My Pomsky also gets a little anxious when we leave she sent so many cute pics of him laying by her on the couch and floor! They also lined up by the door when she left so cute! I had her come back the next day and they went NUTS when they saw her! I have found my furever OC sitter! She is also extremely friendly and goes the extra mile! We LOVE Auntie Donna!
Despite my hesitation about leaving Ella, our 15 week old puppy, Donna did a wonderful job house sitting for us. She was a great communicator and kept me updated on Ella’s well being with regular messages and photos. Donna was attentive, well prepared, and kept our home clean. I highly recommend her!
Donna did a wonderful job caring for Roxy and Gidget! She managed Roxy’s medications exactly as instructed, gave the girls plenty of playtime and walks, and kept our home clean and well cared for while we were away. We came home to two happy dogs and a house that looked great. We’d happily book with her again!
Donna and Mike were absolutely fantastic with our dogs over the 4th of July weekend. From the moment we left, they kept us completely at ease with constant communication, frequent updates, and tons of pictures that let us see just how much fun the dogs were having. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Donna and Mike to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and attentive pet sitters, and we’ll absolutely be booking with them again in the future!
Donna and Mike were INCREDIBLE with our two bulldogs. They kept us so updated and in the loop on how our dogs were doing. They treated them like they were there own and were just great from every aspect. 10/10 would recommend and will be rebooking.
When my family wasn’t available to watch my one-year-old Goldendoodle, Matilda, during my work trip, I was apprehensive about finding someone else I could trust. I can’t overstate what a wonderful job Donna did caring for Matilda and house sitting for me. I provided written instructions and Donna thoroughly read them plus asked follow up questions I hadn’t even thought of! Matilda has separation anxiety and Donna made sure that she always had company and lots of love and attention. Every single one of Matilda’s needs were met and then some. I received several photos everyday and when I came home, I could tell that Matilda had wonderful time and was well cared for. If you’re feeling nervous about finding the right person to care for your fur baby, you’re in the right place! This review is coming from someone who had major anxiety about leaving my dog with someone new. I truly can’t recommend Donna & Mike enough.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We live in a pet friendly suburban community with a doggie run, and lots of walking paths in our community, we also have a large park across the street. We always walk our dogs on a leash and are careful when being around other dogs or children during our walks, we stop and let others pass or we cross the street.
A typical day
We start the day getting a bit of exercise, with a brisk walk or run on the leash through the park, which is across the street. Afterwards, we can toss a ball or their favorite toy, play fetch, or catch. Give lots of hugs and kisses! Massage or brushing them might also be included.
