Animals and I get each other
Hello, My name is Donald. I started off house sitting for people at my church about 8 years ago. I am currently in school for my vet tech degree, so I want to spend more time around animals for my field of study. I have 2 pups of my own. Rhea, she's my therapy dog. And Xio, we all have a crackhead at one point in life, am I right? They love other animals, but if your babies do not like other animals I leave them behind and check in periodically. I also have neighbors that do check ins for them as well. I also recently took in a kitty, super excited about it! She much rather prefer dogs over cats. She was attacked by a cat when she was a baby, so kinda PTSD, but she is very sweet! When I'm off I like to go to the dog park, and when I'm home I let them run all of their energy out. My pup is friendly, loving, and get along with any other dog or cats. Yes, I am willing to take in cats, because why not! I love cats. For when I house sit, I clean the house, make sure the pups are loved on, and cuddle with the babies if they like to cuddle. I try to be the best hooman for all pups no matter the size. I love to exercise,I go for runs with my pup every day, so if you need your pups walked (or ran) they will be! I'll add it to my regimen! Also, I am somehow a pro at potty training. At 3 months my pup was ready. Not sure how I did it, but it happened! I work at BluePearl Animal Hospital and I do work 10 hr days 4 days a week. Some days can and are longer than others. My biggest request is if you are booking me within the week, or under 72 hrs, please understand that a meet and greet is not likely to happen. I do love to meet all pets, but if its under 72 hrs its very unlikely due to work, life, and other pets I may be caring for. So out of respect of my time and others, do not demand a meet and greet if you're booking within 72 hrs or there will be a $50 charge to sitting. I also only get a 30 minute break, so if I am scheduled throughout my shift for a drop in, I will run the timer for the full 30 minutes. Due to drive time and need for the walk at the times. I love to play and cuddle, just like the pups! Your baby will feel loved the entirety of their stay with me or me with them.

Safety, trust & environment
I walk a pup if there is not a backyard, or let them run rampid in the backyard if there is one. I have a dog park at my complex that I can take the pups to to run out their energy as well.
Ratings and reviews
Donald was great! We did a meet and greet the week before and the pups accepted him right away. He also send photos every day
Donald is amazing!! My very shy cats loved him!
Donald did a great job caring for my two pups with daily walks and lots of pictures. Seemed like they had as much fun when I was on vacation as I did!
Amazing Rover! Able to accommodate last minute requests
Donald was absolutely fantastic will book again!!
Enthusiastic and attentive with our doggo, Max! Went out of his way to set up playdates with his own dogs while we were gone and was great with sending updates and pictures 😊 Highly recommend.

Schedule
I'm currently working full time, but I have 3 days off a week. I'm usually off by 4 pm everyday, sometimes 7 at the latest, so I have good enough time to have outside time after work.
