Button would have been nervous anywhere but I felt that she was in good hands with Donnie. He kept her safe and that’s the most I can ask for until she gets used to being at his place. I appreciate his professionalism and confidence with dogs and training. We will likely book again when we are in need of pet care.

Donnie booked us last minute and provided excellent care for our 3 pups! We were able to get a weekend away stress free. Thank you!

My little Miss Sunshine (3 year old Cocker spaniel) came home happy. She was given some love and attention by a young family member.

Donnie is awesome. My dogs were well taken care of. I have a very anxious pit bull mix and he taught me some techniques to help. I will also be attending his Sunday training classes. Donnie is the best dog guy around.

Our first time working with Donnie and my dogs had a great time. They stayed for an overnight and were happy (and tired out!) at pickup. It was clear they had a great stay and were well cared for. Donnie was really communicative and easy to get ahold of. Will definitely have my dogs stay with him again!
