Pet care experience

Ready to play with your fur friend

I have been caring for animals my whole life and enjoy spending time with them. I am a very active person will would be happy to help exercise and play with your animals. I am excellent in dealing with large breeds because I was raised with Mastiffs throughout my childhood my family ran a breeding facility. However, I am just as accepting to the smaller breeds as well. I have experience with horses, as I used to work as a groom and stable hand for the past 2 years. I was able to gain knowledge in training dogs while attending obedience class with my Labrador. I have always had a love for animals whether they are big or small. My references can attest to my experience and assure my abilities.

Donta and his family were great! My pup enjoyed his time and will definitely hit them up again the next time I’m out of town.

Thank you so much for accepting my request for the next day. My dog was looked after well. Donta sent me photos couple of times a day. Definitely making a reservation in the future.

Donta was absolutely fantastic with my little girl. She came back happy and smelling amazing (I'm about 1000% sure Donta groomed her) and Donta was even kind enough to treat her to a little starbucks pupaccino -- which is exactly what I would have done during a lot weekend. It's clear he understands dogs very well, specially bigger breeds. From the moment Papaya met him during our meet and greet she was comfortable enough to just lay at his feet. I'll feel very comfortable entrusting her to his care the next time I need to.

Donta took great care for Zoe. He gave her the exercise she needed and kept her happy and healthy. He has a great positive attitude even with dogs that are hyperactive / high energy. I recommend him to take care of your pup.

Donta loves animals and always has! He is also an extremely active person and would be the perfect fit for talking any dog for walks or runs whichever they prefer. He is trustworthy and will always provide the best customer service.

A typical day

I live in a big neighborhood with multiple dog parks surrounding it. There are miles and miles of great places for walking near Washtenaw Community College. I am also very active and will have no problem taking the dogs for a run.
