Highlights
Pet care experience
Local Pet Sitter Downtown JC
I am Dona!- A compassionate & reliable pet care giver who would love to spend time with your dog or cat. I have 7+ years experience working with animals. My animal care journey began working with the Liberty Humane Society in Jersey City. I was responsible for dog walks, feeding, training, enrichment. I gave daily exercise as well as set up Meet & Greets for dogs & cats with potential adoption matches. In addition, I gained my Fear Free Shelter certification which allowed me to assist the Vet Technician with administering medications as well as helping to alleviate fear and stress that comes for the dog and cat with animal intake and check ups. During my time with the animal shelter, I spent time in the Cattery where I cleaned, fed & provided enrichment as well as socialization to the cats. I realized how diverse & complex the nature of cats is and how each one has its own unique personality. Through giving TLC and time, I’ve helped many cats open up and become successful with finding their right Adoption match- even the cats considered “feral”. I have also fostered senior cats in my home with special needs, providing socialization and healing in order to set them up for success in finding their future furever home! I am knowledgeable in pet nutrition work- I work at the Hound About Town Boutique store in Jersey City for 4+ years assisting customers in selecting the right food for their furry friends as well as providing knowledge on different food brands, supplements & enrichment for their fur baby! I am available for dog walks, drop in visits and overnight stays with your pet and have weekends open for pet sitting . Your pet’s safety and well being is my priority. I will ensure to communicate with you on what your fur baby’s needs are and provide you with multiple updates while you’re away.

Ratings and reviews
We have used Dona’s services multiple times and it has been great each time. My dog is healthy, safe, and happy when I get home which is most important to me!
Dona D. cancelled a booking 5 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Thanks for taking such good care of our kitties Dona! Provided photo updates and recommendations, and came home to some very well-cared for kitties.
Dona has been helping us with walks for our dog Steve for some time now and she’s been doing an amazing job!
Dona was great! She was very professional, communicative, and clearly got along so well with our dog Zeus. Will definitely look to use Dona again for future sitting needs.
Dona took my dog for a walk, and they both seemed very happy when they returned. I will book with her again!

Pet Care fits in well with my remote/flexible schedule based on my clients’ needs. I am available most weekdays and weekends and can work around my part time dog walking schedule.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When I visit my clients’ homes, I provide the dog or cat meals if needed , clean litter boxes, keep the dog’s crate or area tidy, clean any messes in addition to doing the dishes, overall making sure everything is back in it’s proper place and all is well.
Pets
A typical day
I love to stimulate your dogs mentally or physically whether it’s walks in the park or running & playing fetch or giving them a puzzle toy with treats to figure out and stimulate their sniffing sense.
