My schedule is pretty routine and also flexible in many aspects making it easy for me to work with whatever schedule your pet may have. During days I work, I’m away for 7-8 hours at a time but have a very relaxed lifestyle outside of work.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat clients pets the same way I treat my own pets which is with love and understanding. Pets have feelings too and are typically nervous when away from their normal family, but providing a comfortable and fun environment to keep them occupied is important.

Information Donald P. would like to know about your pet

If there are any special ailments or allergies that might change the course of our day. A big thing is temperamental issues or concerns that I need to be aware of. They can be handled but I need prior knowledge so there are no surprises.

A typical day

Some dogs enjoy doing absolutely nothing and some dogs need to be run around the park or some long hike. Bottom line is, if it’s something your dog would have a good time with and you’re comfortable with, we can go and see whatever!

Pet care experience

My name is Donald and I was born and raised here in MD and I have been familiar with dogs since I was a young child. I’ve had and handled dogs of all sizes and ages and given them all the same amount of love and care they deserve. Rover has helped me meet so many greaqt dogs and people and I'm looking forward to helping you! I've completed a number of sittings/walks for both Rover clients and friends and helped take care of dogs as young as 8-weeks to 17 years old, both my own and others.

Donald is simply the best- he is dependable and my pup is always in the best mood after his time with him! It’s such a relief to have someone I can trust with my little guy, and I’m so glad Donald is that person!

Donald is always so wonderful to my little guy (even when he has reverse sneezing attacks that take some comfort and patience to get through!). Thank you!!

Donald is truly a gem of a dog sitter! He stayed with my pup Jagger for 4 days while I was out of state for a wedding, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, Donald was communicative, kind, and professional. He sent daily updates with pictures and checked in multiple times a day, which gave me so much peace of mind. He went above and beyond—taking out the trash, running the dishwasher, and leaving my home just as I left it. Most importantly, Jagger was so happy and totally stress-free when I got home. I could tell he’d been well cared for the entire time. This was the longest I have left my baby with anyone other than my parents, and Donald completely put me and Jagger at ease. Thank you so much! 💕

Repeat booking with Donald - another great experience. Great communication before and throughout the sitting, and very kind and flexible when any issues arose.

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.
