I haven't met a dog I haven't loved

Pet care experience

I believe that all any dog wants is to feel loved and safe. I've never yelled or hit any animal because that instills fear. I would rather hang out with animals than most people. Animals are usually drawn to me, I think because they instinctually know I won't hurt them or let anything else hurt them. I'm taking classes to become a certified dog trainer. I taught one of my German Shepherds to become a mobility service dog, by myself. I'm also an advocate for saving our wildlife like grizzly bears and in particular, wolves. My availability is wide open as I'm 65 and retired. I will treat your babies like I treat my own. Just know, they will be in good hands with me.

Donna is one of the best walkers I've had on Rover. She is extremely nice and my dog loves her.

Donna is great! She cared for my dog and he loves her! He seems so much more happier when I get home after being with donna in the afternoon! I would definitely recommend donna to anyone using rover :)

Information Donna S. would like to know about your pet

Is the dog a leash puller, what are their triggers to make them get a little hyper. Do they get along with other dogs or cats, how are they with new people. What does the dog like/dislike. I have no breed preferences as I've owned pitties, German shepherds, toy poodles, and everything in between.

A typical day

There are so many parks to choose from. I have occasionally let the dog choose where we go. I like to play fetch, Frisbee, tug o war, or whatever they enjoy doing.
