Biggest Little Dog House in Reno!

Pet care experience

I am a retired RN and just thoroughly enjoy the association of dogs, with a special affinity for our smaller sized furry friends! I have cared for a wide variety of family pups, had my own little Winston since he was a puppy and always welcome a new four-legged friend to love! Warning: Those that know me best have accused me of spoiling the little pups like grandmas sometimes do!

My dog was very happy here! I received lots of pictures and updates during our trip from Donnette! I would be happy to have her watch my puppy any time!

Donnette did a fine job with all the special requests that I had. Gus, the dog, appeared to enjoy the time at Donnette's house. The pictures and notes sent by Donnette made the time away from the dog more comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is located in a nice community in South Reno with lots of grass, trees and a manmade lake for for a nice variety of pleasant walks. I have a fully fenced private backyard with both sunny & shady areas. I keep the gates locked for safe free roaming & playing in a well enclosed area! Also, whenever your pup is outside, I will always be out with them. I do not host any large or aggressive breeds as they are just not usually a good mix with the littler guys!

Information Donnette M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, restrictions or unusual behaviors, as well as a general schedule for eating, playing, sleeping and elimination habits. Does your dog know commands? If so, please tell me so we can communicate better! Please also let me know if you anticipate any unusual difficulty with your dog being away from you or their home environment! I will do everything I can to help your pup to be as comfortable as possible in my home. I can accommodate a wide variety of special needs but I do not take large or aggressive breeds, highly energetic dogs or dogs that do not get along with other small to medium size dogs. I generally host only small to smaller-medium size dogs but will occasionally take pups up to about 25lb or maximum 30lb. if their temperament is gentle and compatible with smaller dog friends!

A typical day

Winston is moderately active and loves playing fetch & tug o' war with visiting friends! Occasionally he gets a friendly chase on with our little guests but is a snuggly lap dog much of the time as well! I have a great neighborhood for a nice variety of walks with lots of interesting sights & smells that we take advantage of at least twice a day (weather permitting) after breakfast & in the evening after dinner. We have lots of indoor/outdoor playtime intermittently throughout the day alternating with rest/snuggle time. And when any of your pups are outside, even in the fenced backyard, I am out there with them!

Availability

I enjoy being at home full-time so have a flexible schedule to meet a wide variety of scheduling requests for daycare and boarding. I have reliable transportation if your situation requires pick-up/drop off. I usually don't host more than three dogs at a time, so that I am able to give each pup all the love & attention they deserve!
