Conscientious & Trustworthy

Pet care experience

I'm a 24 year old graduate from Benedictine University (Bachelor's in International Business & Economics). I've always had a love for animals which is my main reason for joining Rover. My first experience learning how to care for dogs and cats was when I was 7 years old in a children's program at the Naperville Area Humane Society, a local animal shelter where I eventually adopted my beloved cat Chloe. Since then, friends and family members have turned to me to care for their furry loved ones while they are away on vacation or just need someone to stop in and check on them to hang out/go on walks. I feel like an auntie to all the pets I get to care for, so you can be sure that your fur-baby is loved and taken care of. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. This includes newborns as early as 1 week old as well as much older pets, both ages requiring a lot of attention and experience managing their needs. I also have experience administering medication orally or injection for both dogs and cats. ** Fully vaccinated against COVID as of 5/18/21 💉 ** Due to COVID-19 I currently "work from home" ** Car equipped with dog seat cover with special seat belts for transportation

Donatella is an amazing pet sitter - this is the second time over used her and my kitties LOVE having her there while I’m out of town!! She is very communicative and sends status updates throughout the day, which is so appreciated. If you need someone who is reliable, friendly, responsible, and great with animals - she’s your person!!!
