Pet care experience

*****PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME UNTIL YOU READ MY PROFILE!***** ONLY SERIOUS REQUESTS!!!!!! REQUESTS NOT BOOKED NEGATIVELY AFFECT A SITTER’S ROVER STANDING!!!!!!! PLEASE FILL OUT YOUR PET’S PROFILE BEFORE SUBMITTING A REQUEST. I have over thirty years experience caring for dogs. I always offer reasonable prices along with high quality care. I have been a Rover Sitter since 2015! I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. I am also a volunteer for several local rescue groups including the Humane Society. I foster pregnant and nursing females, seniors, seriously abused and special needs fur friends giving them a safe environment, along with nursing care and plenty of love, until they find their forever homes. Saving lives is my passion. Males six months or older need to be neutered. Absolutely NO females in heat or near their heat cycle. House trained dogs and puppies only. Dogs that consistently soil in the house or go into heat will need to be picked up immediately!! NO pee pads or diapers. NO PIT BULLS, Staffordshire Terriers, or Malinois. No aggressive dogs or dogs that may growl or snap. Proof that vaccines are up to date and that a Vet approved flea/tick treatment has been applied are REQUIRED! Please text the records to me before booking the stay. Thank you for your cooperation. Please be respectful regarding my time. I am unable to accommodate a scheduled time span longer than thirty minutes. Also, I cannot accept vague appointment times. If you are more than thirty minutes late for your scheduled appointment you will need to reschedule for a mutually agreeable future date or time. I also will not accept last minute changes. Please understand that the timeframe entered on Rover is for their billing purposes only. I ask that you RESPECT MY PRIVACY!!! Please do not arrive early or late for your scheduled appointments. If I do NOT answer your communications I am unavailable! Please DO NOT take my lack of a response as an invitation to come to my home outside our mutually agreed time period. Please do NOT sit outside my home, in your car, waiting to pick up your dog! Please DO NOT stand in front of my house or door waiting for your dog. It is an unacceptable infringement on my privacy! If your flight is delayed please let me know before you depart. If you are driving I ask that you do the same. DO NOT wait until you land or are close to home to inform me of the change. Open communication and frequent updates will benefit both parties. I have a dog safe fenced yard on the west side of my home. Dogs are NEVER tethered outside or left in my yard unsupervised. If you would like to have your dog engage in playtime with other dogs I would need a signed waiver releasing me from any injuries, including negative reports to Rover or on the Rover site! Dogs play rough and injuries can occur. . If I become aware of any health or safety issues I will contact you and Rover immediately. I expect owners to check their dog for any injuries or other issues before leaving my home to prevent owner complaints after the dog is back home. All care instructions MUST be written on the Rover site or given to me in writing. Verbal instructions can be misunderstood and lead to owner’s complaints. I will submit a daily report regarding food intake, medication given ,if applicable, and any other relevant information. Pictures or videos will be sent each evening. Clean food and water bowls would be greatly appreciated. Clean beds, blankets, toys or anything that will make your dog feel more comfortable are highly recommended. Dogs are fed separately and do not share food. Any uneaten food is picked up and stored away. Treats will be given occasionally if approved by the pet parent. I do NOT offer baths or grooming. Please understand that dogs may pick up dirt in the yard. I DO NOT offer free meet and greets! However, you are welcome to book a day care or overnight trial stay for $29. Bookings are available with 24 hour notice. A video of my home and yard will be shared upon request. I do NOT offer tours of my home or yard. PRICES ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE!!!!! Pet parents receive $20 discount on their first Rover booking. Ask me for the code! I do not accept cash. All stays must be booked and paid on Rover! Dates are not confirmed until booking is complete! Appointments can be scheduled between the hours of 8 am and 10 pm only. Drop off or pick up outside this timeframe will require an additional night stay. I will need acknowledgment in writing on the Rover site that you agree with these statements. If you have any concerns please let me know. I will not accept any booking without this signed agreement.

I think this is our third time we had donna care for our boys and they always receive the best care. We get updates daily on them and she is very prompt in her communication with us. The only downside is they have such a good time they don’t want to come home. I guess that is a sign that they appreciate Donna as much as we do.

Donna is a great caretaker for Romeo. He’s a young doodle with lots of energy and she is very experienced with dogs of all sizes. He loved staying at her house. She has a big yard and other dogs to keep my little guy occupied. I received several photos during his stay and updates of his play sessions and eating habits. I’m very happy to have found Donna and will definitely be using her in the future.

Donna is the absolute best! She took such good care of our Sunny. We loved getting the pictures of our girl having so much fun with the other dogs. Thank you, Donna! We 💙 you.
