Pet care experience

I’m here to help!

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.

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.

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.

So grateful to Donald for taking such good care of our pup! This was our first time every having a sitter for him, and it was for a full week - we could not have asked for a better experience for our pup (and for us and for our house, too!). Donald was not only great with our anxious clingy pup, but he also kept us updated regularly and put us at ease that all was going smoothly. He took great care of the house too, with attention to all kinds of little details I wouldn't even have thought of. He was also super flexible when we had to make a last-minute change to our timing - he could not have been nicer about it. And of course, the best and most important part is that our dog loved him and will look forward to when we can have him come again!

Donald did such a great job taking care of my cat! He provided photos and updates each day, and was very easy to reach. My critter was so happy when I got home.

Schedule

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.

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.
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.
