Pet care experience

Where tails wag and adventures

I stand out as a dog walker by providing a level of care that goes beyond a standard walk, focusing on reliability, communication, and personalized attention for every dog. I tailor each walk to fit the dog’s energy level, age, and temperament, while keeping owners informed with updates and photos so they feel confident and at ease. I take pride in being punctual, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether that means a high-energy outing or a calm, gentle stroll. I also bring a professional yet friendly approach, building trust with both pets and their owners. By combining consistency, thoughtful extras, and genuine care, I create a positive experience that keeps both dogs happy and owners coming back.

I booked Donna last minute after my original dog sitter canceled, and she was fantastic. She arrived right on time, even extended the walks, and Margot was excited to see her every day. I’ll definitely be booking her again!

Donna C. Has watched my 2 dogs and bunny many times. My dogs really love her and she walks them more than I do! Everything has gone smoothly every time and I can enjoy my trip knowing my babies are well cared for!

Donna is the only person that I will use to watch my dog when I go on trips! She is very conscientious and trustworthy. She would be an asset.

Donna watched our dog Jack several times over the past year. She is very caring and patient. Made sure he was walked and fed, but more importantly that he was loved and received a lot of attention.

Donna, your exceptional care of my Chihuahua during my week-long hospital stay truly eased my mind during a challenging time. Your unwavering dedication and compassion were evident in every interaction with my pup. From administering his medication to maintaining his daily routine, you ensured he felt safe, loved, and comfortable in my absence. Your regular updates and photos provided me with much-needed peace of mind, knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. I'm incredibly grateful for your support and cannot thank you enough for your outstanding service. You're not just a dog sitter, but a true lifesaver. Thank you, Donna!

Schedule

Dog walking fits naturally into my daily routine, as I already prioritize getting outside for exercise and fresh air. I’m an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys walking regularly, and having a dog as a companion makes it even more enjoyable and rewarding. I’m available after 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, as well as anytime on weekends, which allows me to provide consistent and flexible care for pet owners with busy schedules. This routine not only benefits me but ensures dogs get the attention, activity, and companionship they need on a regular basis.

Safety, trust & environment

I would be a trustworthy dog walker because I prioritize the safety, well-being, and happiness of every pet in my care. I am reliable, punctual, and communicate clearly with owners, keeping them informed about their dog’s activities and any concerns. My experience as an outdoor enthusiast means I’m comfortable handling dogs of different energy levels and temperaments in a variety of environments. I treat each dog as an individual, providing consistent attention and care, and I take responsibility seriously, ensuring every walk is safe, enjoyable, and stress-free. Owners can have confidence knowing their pets are in capable, attentive hands.

Pets

A typical day

I like to keep our walks fun by changing the routes we take and letting my dogs stop to sniff whatever interests them. If we see other dogs and they seem friendly, I always ask the owner before letting my dogs approach for some playtime

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

I like to do a meet-and-greet before taking on any new clients so I can get to know the owner and their dog. I ask questions about what the dog likes and dislikes to make sure I’m doing things they enjoy and avoiding what they don’t like.
