Why Donna? Because my dog and I both love her. She is not only an amazing dog sitter but she also understands what is in my dog’s mind. With so many years of experience she makes my dog so home like experience when I leave my dog to her. She responds to your messages as soon as she can and sends little videos and pictures of your pet. I started leaving my dog to her when he was 1.3 years old. She knows how to deal with dogs, cats and birds. I strongly strongly recommend her.

Donna comes highly recommended by me. She is genuine and reliable and just a great person. We have been using her services for the last 2 years and will continue with her for as long as our dog "Peanut" needs her. Donna is a highly specialized dog trainer as well, She knows everything about dogs/cats and how to give care to and love them. I have left my 2-year-old dog for more than a month with Doanna and used her services multiple times and she takes good care of him. She is always a message and calls away whenever we need her for our dog care. Peanut loves Donna and is always happy when she is around. I highly recommend Donna as she is caring, professional, and polite.

Donna has been taking care of our dog Minnie for a couple of years whenever my wife and I must travel. She offered to dog-sit our dog after Minnie became too stressed after a stay at a commercial kennel. We feel secure with Donna because she is a professional dog trainer and has taken the time to understand our quirky dog. When we drop Minnie off, Donna always texts us to let us know that Minne has settled in well and is calm and happy. We strongly recommend Donna.

My dog Lily loves Donna McGinnis and loves to stay at her house. Donna is very loving and she’s an expert animal trainer. She is dependable, responsive and responsible. She has been supportive and helpful about many issues my family has concerning our dog.

Safety, trust & environment

I have pet friendly home one dog , two cats , parakeets, two snakes, one iguana, two bearded dragons. The all have feeding schedules and husbandry schedules. I take my dog on hikes to dog parks and to my mothers to play with her and my sons dogs ( though outside of my mom’s dog Charlie who is 2 years old my son’s boxer Joplin and my dog Devo who are both 9 years old the play has slowed down quite considerably. But I just make sure all my animals are happy and healthy.

Information Donna M. would like to know about your pet

let me know of any quirks your dog /cats might have ( like sleep in a favorite spot, sit before they eat) that way I make sure I keep it just like it is done when you are there with them. Allergies to food or contact allergies. How they are feeding them once twice or free feed...I will ask more in person

A typical day

For dogs I would take them for a nice 20 to 30 minute walk. Come back for some one on one TLC. Cats will love to play with them whichever way they choose to play. Give them warm snuggles and special one on one time so they know they can trust me as their special friend. If you are wanting me to care for your best buddy while you're away I will make sure I care for them like they were my own always making sure they are happy and stress-free until your return.
