Your Dog's (Other) Best Friend!
Pet care experience
I think we all know just how important a dog is to our lives, so it’s a dream come true for me that I get to give back to our pups! There’s just nothing like getting to see the smile on a dog’s face when they know they have enough love and support to thrive in the world. Dogs are just so selfless and amazing, and I just believe that it’s my duty to give back to them however I can. Not to mention that I also love getting to give back to my community as well by providing owners with peace of mind when they’re away from their best friends. Although I’ve been a longtime dog lover, my experience with pups doesn’t just stop there! I’ve owned lots of pups throughout my life, including two Pugs and four Poodles, and have taken care of seven newborn Poodle puppies at one time! I have also had lots of dog sitting experience, and have taken care of everything from American Staffies to Chihuahuas. During my spare time, I volunteer at the Pug Nation Rescue of Los Angeles and help out with the rescues there. It’s always such an amazing experience, and I just love being able to provide love and care to pups that need it the most. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. When your pup is under my care, I always strive to provide the most excellent customer service possible to you and your pup. To ensure that, I prioritize professional and expedient communication. I like to provide tons of regular updates with accompanying photos, so you can see how much fun your pup and I are having together! Plus, I’m happy to give you updates on anything from feeding times to exercise to behaviors—whatever you need to know about your pup. I’m happy to work within your pup’s daily regimens and schedules as well to make sure they feel happy and safe with me at all times.
Reviews
Donna is great! She’s prompt, she sends very good post-visit notes and our dog loves her! We couldn’t be more pleased to recommend Donna to future clients.
Very friendly and took excellent care of my senior dog.
Donna really understands and loves animals. She cares for your pet in the way you want your pet cared for. I don't trust many people with my dog, but I would call on Donna for help any day!
Amazing!

Information Donna C. would like to know about your pet
Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
A typical day
The best thing about me as a sitter is that my schedule is currently very open and flexible! That means that I have plenty of time to spend with your pup. The world is our oyster! I love staying active, so your pup will be right at home with me if they like getting lots of exercise. I will start off by taking them around the neighborhood that they're familiar with and, depending on their, comfortability level, we might hit up some hiking trails on Runyon or the dog beach in Malibu or maybe even a 5K pet run! There are so many great places to go in LA, that I’m sure we’ll have an absolute blast exploring them all. We’ll never be starved for adventure!
