Your Pup’s Home Away From Home

Hey neighbors! I’m Donovan, and I would love to help care for your fur baby while you're away! Caring for dogs has become a big part of my everyday life. Over the years, I’ve built up a wonderful group of sweet, well-behaved pups that I get to care for regularly, and it’s been fun watching them grow and play together. When your dog stays with me, you can expect a few friendly pups for them to play and socialize with. Safety is always the priority, and I don’t accept alpha-type personalities. And sorry, but I’m not taking on huskies, German shepherds, or pit bulls at this time. While I don’t have any size requirements or limitations, I pride myself on keeping a cohesive group where everyone gets along.

Donovan was awesome! Sent lots of photos, kept us updated and was amazing with our dog. His place was incredibly nice and clean with a big backyard. The perfect place for boarding! Highly recommend.

Donovan was great! It was our first time using the app and even leaving our dog somewhere that wasn't home. We were nervous about leaving our pup at first but Donovan sent us a update with a few pictures of our pup playing with the other pups which really helped ease our nerves. We would 100% recommend Donovan and definitely use him if were in the area again.

Schedule

Pet care is my life these days, and my home is set up around it. I’ve got a big, grassy, fenced-in backyard where dogs can run, play, and lounge in the sun, plus plenty of space indoors where they can relax. The dogs have free roam between inside and outside, and since I’m home full-time, I’m always around to keep an eye on the group and give them the love and attention they deserve. I totally understand the anxiety of leaving one's pet, and I prioritize regular photo updates and quick communication. You'll always be in the loop about your pet's activities, meals, and general well-being. And day or night, don't hesitate to get in touch!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety First: My primary concern is the safety of every pet under my care. My home is a designated pet haven, free from hazards and dangers. I strictly avoid hosting aggressive or alpha-type personalities. Sorry, but I’m not currently taking on huskies, German shepherds, or pit bulls at this time. While I don’t have any size requirements or limitations, I pride myself on keeping a cohesive group where everyone gets along.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day for the pups starts with morning potty breaks and breakfast, followed by a good stretch of playtime. By early afternoon, most of the group is ready for a nap, then it’s back up for more play before dinner. Not every dog is a nonstop player — some are happiest watching from the sidelines, soaking up the sunlight, or finding a cozy spot to rest in the backyard. No matter their style, every pup finds their rhythm here and becomes part of the pack.

I’d love to hear all about your pup — their routine, quirks, and what makes them happiest. The more I know ahead of time, the easier it is to make sure they fit right in and feel at home here. I can handle all medications except for injectables, and for safety reasons I’m not currently taking on huskies, German Shepherds, pit bulls, unfixed dogs, or those with aggressive tendencies. We’ll also go over everything together during the Meet & Greet to be sure it’s the perfect match.
