Safety, trust & environment

We are in a townhome with a walkout patio. I love to spend time outside with the dogs, and they are always secure with a leash or tie out cable. I am always with them. We are very careful about doors opening, and people coming in and out. Your pet is safe with me.

Information Donna K. would like to know about your pet

I need to know as much about their normal day as possible so I know what to expect. Do they like getting outside for walks? Do they enjoy playing with another dog or just hanging out with them? Do they get any treats?

A typical day

Our dog is here to play with them or just chill if that’s what they prefer. I will take them for walks if they are used to that or spend time in our backyard with them

9 years of fostering experience

Pet care experience

We are a dog-less home since our dog passed about a year ago. I sure do love having visitors, and a dog to love while they are here with me! We adopted our dog 14 years ago at 5 months old, and for the past 10 years I have been very involved with fostering and volunteering for a local rescue. This has given me so much experience with many different dog personalities and helped me learn how to best introduce them to a new environment. I have so much more knowledge about dog behaviors in general since fostering. I have fostered 30+ dogs thus far, handled at adoption shows, transported dogs to vet visits and selected adopters for my fosters. I feel very qualified to give your dog all the care and love they need and deserve while you are away! I am home during the day, and I am very happy to have your dog here to love and spoil while they are in my care. Your dog will always have plenty of love and attention when they are with me, and their needs will always be met. When they are here they are family!

Pepper just loved Donna and bonded with her. I was so pleased with her and love the pics I rec’d of Pepper having fun with her. What a special sitter I found. I recommend her as my top choice of sitters! 😄😄

Donna is an excellent sitter. Once again, she went above and beyond to be sure that my dog, Chloe, was comfortable and happy staying with her for the week I was out of town. She gives as much time and attention as Chloe desires, and I am confident that Chloe is receiving excellent care. I will definitely use her again.

On three separate occasions, Donna has cared for my dog. Each time that I have left my dog with her, I have felt as though she was in good hands. My dog, who tends to be somewhat apprehensive when meeting new people, seemed to instantly take to Donna. She has greeted my dog with warmth and has always made her feel welcomed and at home on each and every occasion. I would highly recommend Donna to care for your pet.

I was very happy to find Donna to sit with my anxious terrier, Chloe, while I was out of town several days. Donna was very patient and worked to make her feel comfortable and at home. Chloe thrives on attention, and Donna gave her lots of love. I also appreciated the updates and photos so I knew she was safe and happy. I will definitely use Donna again.
