Pet care experience

Your pet's new best friend -Donald

I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your furry family. I’ve cared for pets for friends, neighbors, and family over the years, and I always bring patience, kindness, and attention to detail to every visit or walk.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I respect your space and routines—keeping things as close to normal as possible for your pet. I follow all instructions carefully, from feeding and medication to favorite toys and walking routes. I also make sure doors, gates, and anything your pet could get into are secure before I leave. Building trust is important to me, not just with the pets I care for, but with you as the owner. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, positive environment where your pet feels safe and loved.

Donald was great while looking after our 2 dogs and one cat. We were out if town for a few days and at no time felt that they were not receiving the best care. There were regular updates and pictures throughout the stay and they let us know whenever they were leaving and arriving. Overall, a great experience and we will be sure to book with them again.

Donald was so attentive and caring with my dog while we were away. We received texts, pics and videos the whole day, he was very communicative and trust worthy. Highly recommend Donald for your pet needs.

I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful Dennis is. He and his wife (also on Rover) is how we connected. They have both cared for our babies since beginning of year. I trust them wholeheartedly and would recommend them to anyone! I’m beginning to wonder if my fur babies love them more than us 😆. They get overly excited when I tell them Mrs Sara and Mr Dennis are coming to visit. They are punctual and take extra care of the pets and house. Very attentive, loving and cogzinant of personalities and behaviors. They found a rather nasty sore on two of my babies that I would’ve probably never found or thought to even look for cause the babies never gave me reason to believe anything was wrong/bothersome. So thankful for them!!

Schedule

Caring for pets is a regular and fulfilling part of my weekly routine. I make time every day to check in on the animals I care for—whether that means morning walks, midday playtime, or evening feedings and cuddles. I enjoy building a routine that works for each pet’s individual needs, and I treat every visit as a chance to give them attention, comfort, and care. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make a priority in my schedule.

Whether I’m caring for a dog, a cat, or both, it’s important for me to understand your pet’s unique personality and needs. Before we start, I love getting details like:     •    Feeding schedule and any dietary restrictions     •    Medical needs or medications     •    Temperament—are they shy, energetic, cuddly, or independent?     •    How they handle new people, other animals, or changes in routine     •    Favorite toys, hiding spots (especially for cats!), or walking preferences Knowing these things helps me create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where your pet feels right at home—whether I’m stopping by for a quick visit or spending a few days with them.
