Pet care experience

I WILL LOVE & CARE FOR YOUR DOG

My parents gave me a Cocker Spaniel while I was a toddler. My whole life I have had at least one dog and more often than not I have had two or three. I have pup sat for many friends and have fostered more than 100 dogs. That number is not exaggerated. I founded Cavalier Rescue of Florida and was their first Director of Rescue. I held that position for 8 years until we moved to Alabama, but that Group is still going strong. Because I have had so many foster dogs in and out of my home I gained more knowledge than most in caring for dogs: very sick dogs, very old dogs, puppies and many fur babies that required daily medical treatments. I know how to check and treat diabetes, ear and eye problems, and give dogs injections if needed. I love all breeds of dogs and have had experience with many breeds and mixes. I honestly become unhappy when I am not surrounded by canines. I also am an experienced dog trainer and would be glad to give you instructions if you’re trying to train your dog. I currently foster for Cavalier Rescue USA, another great rescue organization.

We had a wonderful experience with Donna & Will caring for Daisy Mae and Huddy Buddy Hank for 12 days. Donna was recovering from a fall and in rehab during much of our booking, so Will provided most of the day-to-day care for our pups. He was absolutely amazing with them. From the very beginning, it was clear that Will genuinely loves dogs and enjoys spending time with them. Daisy Mae and Huddy Buddy Hank quickly settled into his home and grew very attached to him. They loved sitting in his lap, curling up on the bed, and following him around wherever he went. It was obvious they were receiving plenty of affection, attention, and love. Their home is incredibly dog-friendly, featuring a wonderful fenced backyard, a doggy door, and two very well-behaved dogs that helped our pups feel right at home. Everything was thoughtfully set up with dogs in mind, and we could tell our babies were happy, safe, and comfortable throughout their stay. The greatest gift was the peace of mind we had while we were away. For 12 days, we never had to worry because we knew our dogs were being cared for like family. We are so grateful to Will for the exceptional care he gave Daisy Mae and Huddy Buddy Hank, and we wish Donna a continued smooth recovery. We would gladly book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, trustworthy care for their pets.

Schedule

I am retired and my husband who is also a dog lover is retired. We are at home most of the time and don't leave our dogs at home without crating them for safety reasons and for no more than five hours without having someone check on them. I can sit for your furbabies any weekday and on weekends. I always put caring for the dogs before anything else.

A typical day

I love to play with the dogs and their toys in our backyard. If it’s too hot outside, we have a big enough area to play inside. If you are in the process of training your dog, I’d love to practice with them during the day. I would follow whatever method you are using for training to practice.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat

Let me know if your dog has special-needs require some special treatment while he’s at our house. My goal is to give your dog the same treatment he gets at home and to make his or her time with me fun so that she will want to come back.
