Safety, trust & environment

I make safety a priority so I prefer not let your dog interact with other dogs because I never know how either will act! I always want your pets in a comfortable environment to minimize stress so they will be happy and healthy in my care.

Information Don B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about their personality and anything that would upset them. And of course any medical conditions I need to be aware about. My best friend is a veterinarian so I always can run medical questions by her when I am unsure.

A typical day

I love running so if your pup likes more than a walking pace I would be happy to strap on running shoes and let them get out their energy!

Pet care experience

I've gotten a ton of experience on my time on Rover, as the reviews and repeat clients can attest. I've had over 150 clients in the 3 years I've been a Rover sitter. Rover keeps track of sitter performance and reliability, which is why I appear high on the list of sitters. I take pride in being reliable and creative in dealing with any issues so you can enjoy your time away without worry.

Don helped us out last minute which we were so thankful for. He has great communication and updated us often. Our pets take a while to get used to someone, but they really seem to like Don!

I really appreciate Don taking such great care of my dog! This trip was the longest I had ever been away from her so I was nervous about it but she was clearly in good hands with with him

Whenever we needed a dog sitter, we always used Donald. He is very dependable and always took the best care of our dogs. This always made our trips more enjoyable to not have to worry about our dogs while we were away. We are very sad to be moving from the area.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
