Pet care experience

I will love your pet like my own

My first cat lived to 20. My first dog, a Doberman, to 13. My beloved West Highland Terrier, Lacey, passed away at the age of 17 last year. She was diabetic & had Cushings so I was used to injecting her with insulin & dispensing pills. My 20 yr old Maine Coon, Rocky, lived a long, fairly healthy life until 2 yrs ago when I lost him. So I now have my Maltese Daisy who is 14 yrs old. I also recently adopted a 10 yr old Lhasa Apso named Paisley from her former owner who hired me to board her over the last year. I have been a pet sitter for dogs that ranged from a chihuahua to a pit bull mix. I treat them like part of my family. We have treat time, walk time, cuddle & play time & a big fenced in yard for free time. We welcome the smaller dogs to cuddle on the couch while we watch a movie at night. I send pics & video to reassure you that your pet is in good hands & happy. I am recently retired from my banking career of 42 years. My time is flexible. I can be available for pick up & drop off any day after 9 am ( or earlier upon request) I have a fully fenced yard & friendly fur babies to help your baby feel welcome. I have crates available if needed.

Donna provided Cooper the best care and he really enjoyed his stay. I would use Donna a lot going forward if I wasn’t moving to Florida soon.

Donna is very attentive and loved our pups like her own. Thank you Donna. Hope you will take Philly and Mamma Zoey back when we need boarding again.

Donna was absolutely amazing. She really understands dogs on an instinctive level and is an absolute joy to work with. Her home is beautiful and the dogs really get a five star resort experience! My boys ran and played in the yard, helped her make chicken soup, got pup cups, and she even plays doggie relaxation music for them at night. She also sends stories and pictures every day! I could not be more delighted and thrilled. She is doggy Mary Poppins.

Donna was very communicative and showed Bella so much love! I would recommend her to anyone with dogs on the smaller side >35lbs

My husband and I were facing a stressful situation as we were about to leave for vacation. Donna helped to ease our minds and anxiety, and jockeyed her own plans in order to care for our two spirited dogs. From the moment we arrived at our vacation destination to the time we picked the boys up, we knew they were in capable, caring hands. Donna is an above average communicator, and sent regular pictures, videos and updates, all of which we very much appreciated. It goes without saying that we highly recommend Donna and her services. After all, if we trust her enough to care for Teddy & Toby, we essentially trust her with our lives...because in many ways, they are our lives.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your fur baby both physically & mentally. I have a big fenced in yard for them to run & play in. We go for walks around the neighborhood, play at a nearby park, take rides for doggy ice cream. I have lots of toys, soft cuddly beds & a snack bar.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or dietary restrictions. My goal is to keep your fur baby as close to your schedule as possible. I cannot take an aggressive dog for the safety of mine or others. I encourage an initial meet n greet so that we can meet before the visit to ensure it will be a good fit for all. I do require that all immunizations are up to date & that your baby is on a flea preventative.
