Caring 🐾 Experienced 🐾 Reliable

Pet care experience

Hello! Thank you so much for considering me for your special fur-baby(ies)! Your pet isn’t just your best friend, they’re also your family member! As family members, you want the very best for them. I’m here to make sure that your pet has all the love you give them and all the expertise that comes with an experienced pet care professional! I have always been a complete animal lover & I've taken care of pets of all kinds since I was 13. Neighbors, friends, & family have relied on me to walk, feed, & care for their pets. After years working in the field of customer service & compliance, I decided to follow my dream to a path in pet care. I've completed my certification in Pet Care CPR/First Aid with Pet Tech & have volunteered at our local shelter to gain further experience in animal care & behavior. I have been providing services though Rover full time for a little over 8 years now & before that 2 year's with DogVacay. Needless to say, your pet will be in great hands when they’re with me! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a complimentary meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another and, most importantly, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pet and your care expectations. No one knows your pet better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pet tick! It’s also important for me to introduce myself to your pet and show them who I am as well and that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, so I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it can be to be away from your best friend, so it’s my job to make you feel at ease & have zero worries. To that end, I heartily believe in the power of great communication. Even before the stay begins, I like to know what is most important to you and your pet so that I can keep tabs on it throughout the stay. Whether that be meal prep, exercise times, or anything else. It is my duty to make sure that you know how your pet is faring and that I’m making sure they feel safe, happy, & loved! I send daily updates to owners with all the information about what we’ve done during our visit/walk and never forget to include sweet pictures as well! Likewise, I’m easy to get in touch with, so never hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. I am a full-time provider. I devote my day to taking care of my client's pets and their needs. I enjoy my job Very much!

Donna is such a fantastic pet sitter. She make sure to give updates on your fur family every time she visits to check in, and does her best to include pictures as well. She’s kind and thoughtful and makes sure to provide them with the warmth and nurturing you would want, so they don’t feel so lonely when you’re away. Donna is also very punctual and responsive. I can’t recommend her enough.

Donna is wonderful! I couldn’t ask for a better sitter/walker. Donna is a caring dog person through and through and clearly has a passion for what she does.

Donna has been taking care of my babies for 2 months now and she is amazing! She is so thoughtful and goes above and beyond her duties. She sends updates and photos during and after the visit so you are always in the loop about what is going on. I highly recommend her; I’m lucky I found her here on rover!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a great calmness when it comes to keeping pets behaving well and happy. I have learned to read a dogs body language very well over the years. With the right energy there is no dog too big or too small for me. Be assured safety is my number one priority. During walks I'm 100% focused on your pets & the environment around us. I'm very aware of loose dogs in the neighborhood & steer clear of homes known to let pets off leash. Also paying close attention to what your pet is in contact with on the grounds. For home visit's I make sure to always enter/exit homes with care & your pet will never be left unattended whether we are outdoors or inside.

Information Donna F. would like to know about your pet

✨Is there anything your pet has a fear of such as thunderstorms, fireworks, or loud noises & What is usually done to help soothe them. ✨I’d like to know about any allergies. ✨Do they have any personality quirks? ✨How do they behave on walks? ✨ What are the house rules? ✨Favorite toy/games ✨I’d like to know your pet's normal routine so I can stay as close to it as possible to make them happy as possible.

My typical schedule includes daily dog walks and in home pet concierge services Monday-Friday and weekends/holidays as well. My calendar is always kept up to date. You may notice I have the 4th of July & New Year’s Eve blocked off. This is because I need to be at home with my own pups as they are very scared of fireworks. However, If you are in need of care during the daytime hours on those dates I would be happy to help. Pawsome Pet Care ✨Dog Walking ✨Home Visits ✨Serving all of Coral Springs & Margate, FL
