Don's Pals LLC

"Don is a miracle worker! My husky was not good with socialization or recall and Don really helped her out. He was patient and kind, and made sure she was well taken care of. I’d recommend Don every day of the week!"

"Don took care of our 140 lbs Cane Corso for 3 weeks while we went away on vacation. He helped our big boy get over his fear of riding in cars and getting along with other dogs. Don's best quality is the ability to tell what dogs need in their lives, and teaching us pet parents what we can do to improve the quality of life of our beloved dogs."

"Don has been our dog sitter for the past 5 years, and he is by far the best dog sitter we have ever encountered. His understanding of each individual dog, their needs, their emotions, reactions, and his innate ability to communicate with and train them is truly incredible. I often refer to him as a dog whisperer. There have been numerous times when I asked if he was able to watch my dogs last minute, expecting that he would not be able to on such short notice, but he was available and worked to accommodate my schedule. He takes the dogs to parks, trails, around the city, paddle boarding, and other local places to work on socialization and to get them comfortable in new environments. He sends the sweetest pictures and videos with detailed updates, which I always look forward to. I love seeing which dogs that my dogs get to play with at his daycare each time they go. He has experience with almost every dog breed, age, dogs with health issues, dogs who have not been properly socialized, dogs with a history of aggression and reactions, and his ability to understand each dog and train them is exceptional. He goes above and beyond for his dogs every day. I am truly lucky to have found such a great dog sitter and trainer, who is friendly, trustworthy responsible, hardworking, easy to communicate with, and reliable. I highly recommend Don’s Pals and can’t thank him enough for all of the love and care he has given my dogs over the years. He is their favorite person!!"

"My dog Lulu loves going to Don’s daycare! We have been going weekly for a few years now. I made the mistake of taking her to a normal, not structured daycare, which resulted in Lulu being a reactive dog that caused our walks to be stressful. Since going to Don’s daycare that is structured, walks with Lulu have been more enjoyable. His daycare is enriching and I know she loves it because when I watch videos on her day, as soon as she hears Don’s voice, she is looking for him! We have also used him for boarding and Lulu has a few medications that has to be taken at certain times and he was able to provide the care without any issues. I also loved the fact that she was not in a cage by herself throughout the night and had more of a sleepover at her favorite pal’s house. 100/10 would recommend Don. My relationship with Lulu has changed for the better and I’m always forever grateful for him!"

"Don’s pals was perfect for my Billie! As a pup that really did not like the big dog daycare businesses, she was always excited to go with Don. As a rescue pup, she comes with her quirks and Don was extremely patient and helpful with gaining her trust and trying to figure her out. She always comes back exhausted physically and mentally after a day with Don because he exercises and trains at the same time. Don is truly animal lover and treats every dog with extreme kindness!"
