Pet care experience

I own 2 dogs, a pom and a beagle. I recently cared for an American Staffshire, who just had hip surgery, and a Border Collie; along with 2 cats and fish, for a 2 week stretch. I am a retired nurse so I can clean and change dressings if your dog has had surgery. I can give simple oral meds if dog takes them easily. I will not force dog to take the meds. I am at home most of the time and when I have errands, my husband, Roger, is at home. He will spoil your dog. We live on 1.1 acres with woods in the back of property with a camping area set up. The area is full of rabbits, squirrels, and sometimes deer. Dogs love sniffing in the woods. ***Rover calculates price by the night. If you pick up your dog after 10AM, I reserve the right to add half my usual charge for the day of care.

Donna and Roger were great with Marlee. They kept me updated with pictures and comments throughout the week. I know she was loved on and got plenty of attention during her stay. I hope Marlee can stay again next time we are out of town.❤️

I want to thank Donna & Roger for taking good care and f Webster while I was away. From the photos I received, he looks like he had a good time in their home. Thank you again and wish you all the best. Kind regards, Michelle

I left Precious, my 11-year-old mixed beagle rescue, with Roger and Donna for a weekend. I had met them a month before when we did a meet and greet. They have two dogs, but Precious was immediately comfortable with them. Over the weekend they walked her several times a day and gave her numerous belly rubs and ear scratches. Because they are both retired, there was always someone at home taking care of Precious and their two dogs.

Information Donna & Roger H. would like to know about your pet

Although I prefer small to medium breeds, I will consider large dogs if they are well behaved. Do they know what 'be quiet' means, do they 'heal' when walking, do they come when called? I am less than 5 feet tall so a large dog needs to be obedient.

A typical day

We have a sunny porch that dogs love. When we go for walks, we will go into the woods at the back of our property. Dogs love smelling the rabbits and squirrels that roam free.. If your dog rides well in a vehicle, then we will go to parks at least once a week.
