Donna takes excellent care if our dog. She is attentive and keeps in good communication with us when we are away. She is highly recommended!

I've had Donna watch my dog two times now, and I can't recommend her enough! My dog always has lots of fun, and Donna provides updates everyday with pictures or videos of the dogs. I'd definitely book her again any time I needed someone to watch my dog!

Donna was fantastic! She kept our pup busy, sent pics and videos, and was always responsive. She kept us informed of their activities each day without us inquiring. Our travel plans changed and Donna was very flexible. We will definitely ask Donna to keep our pup again!

Donna was incredible! From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves dogs—mine felt right at home with her. She kept me updated with the sweetest photos and videos, and I could tell she really understood them (especially being a dachshund mom herself!). I’m so grateful to have found someone who treats my pups like family. Highly recommend!

Schedule

I have two small dogs that I take care of. We go outside in the morning, lunch, when I get home from work, and one more time before bed. Outside time includes playtime in the dog park and walks on the nature trail nearby!
