Pet care experience

I will love on and spoil your dogs while you are away. I am a super dog lover! I am home full time and love having the company of pets. I have always had at least one spoiled dog in my family at all times. I am also expierenced with pregnant and nursing dogs and puppy care. All of my most special memories include a pet in them. My dogs are a part of my family and I will treat yours like my own. One of my most favorite things to do is l love to spend time loving on my pets and those in my care. I will treat yours like they are mine. I can just about guarantee that they will be spoiled by the time you return! I offer boarding in my home in Vacaville. When your dogs can't stay at your home, boarding them in a home environment is the next best option. Unfortunately kennel or Pet Store boarding does not offer the feeling of being at home. I also will not board many dogs at the same time. I feel that defeats the purpose of in home boarding. I want your dog to feel as if they are at home, not in a boarding facility. The most dogs I will have staying with me at one time is 2. I can however make exceptions for very short stays or one day daycare stays if necessary. I will always let you know if I have any dogs booked for the time period you are requesting. I am comfortable pet sitting for any breed. As well as just caring for pets, I have a good understanding on breed specific behavior and health needs. More than half of my past clients have been from the Shitzu, Bulldog, Terrier and Yorkie families. So you could say I specialize in caring for the small and smush faced breeds. I have pets of my own that are family to me so I understand how important it is to leave them in the hands of a qualified pet sitter. I do the first meeting at no charge so you and your pet can get to know me. If you choose to board in my home the first meeting can be done there or at a public spot. I have a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom single family home with a very large yard with 6 foot fences. It is a very pet friendly home as they are allowed on the furniture and bed. My dogs are crate trained and used to other animals in their environment. My schedule allows me to be home full time so I am very much hands on. I have had pets ever since I was born. As a child and teen I was always bringing home stray and injured animals into our home. I was known to sneak an injured animal or two into my room if I was afraid my parents would say no more. As an adult I have educated myself on different dog breeds and behaviors. Being a dog breeder has given me a great deal of experience with dogs and how to care for animals that may have special needs. I am the proud mom of two Brussel Griffons:) I am very comfortable administering oral and injectible medication, taking care of senior pets and working with pets that have either medical or behavioral issues.

Donna has been a fantastic sitter and walker for my dog. He always seems to feel at home when he stays overnight at her place, and her dogs are very friendly. She has been flexible with my schedule and on time for walks. Highly recommended!

Donna took great care of my dog Delilah and made me feel at ease with daily updates on her while we were away. You can tell Donna truly cares about the dogs she cares for. We will definitely continue to use Donna!

Donna and her husband are the sweetest people and their home with a huge garden is a great environment for your dog. They send you pictures of the stay and update you on your pet‘s well-being. I highly recommend them.

Information Donna P. would like to know about your pet

I specialize in small to medium dogs. I love to really love on and spoil the dogs in my care. I would love to watch your pet, cuddle, love on and snuggle with your pet. I also love going to the dog park and playing with them or perhaps going on a nice long walk. I like to find out what are some of their favorite things to do and what are their favorite snacks too. I prefer to do a meet and greet with the pets and their people before a pet sit job. I usually ask all questions at that time concerning feeding, medication, behaviors, and routine. One weeks notice allows time for a meet and greet to be scheduled before the pet sit, to ensure your pet feels comfortable with me.

A typical day

We will have fun playing in my large fenced yard. We have several parks in our neighborhood so walks will be fun. We can also snuggle on the couch and watch a movie together.
