Furry love & snuggles are the best!

Pet care experience

Hi There! I have always had pets growing up! They bring so much joy! I have two rescue dogs of my own and I also volunteer at my local animal shelter. I have learned so many little things behind the scenes working with these caring people who show love to animals that may have never had a warm bed or decent food in their life! It's the best feeling to help them, to smell kittens and puppies is just another perk! I want to save and keep them all!! I've always worked with the public in some aspect and still do but find now with my children grown, I have more time to pursue my love with animals and what better way than become a personal dog walker. I am familiar with how dogs/cats have their own way to "warm up" to visitors and they have their little quirks! Which is important and I am all ears to learning what you pet likes and dislikes. I offer Free Meet & Greets so that I can meet your fur baby/ies, answer any questions, and make sure I fit in and will become a welcomed friend (with cats that might be guest but its all good)! PLEASE NOTE: My"Drop In Visit" rate for 3 or more pets is $5 ea. add'l pet starting with #3 pet. Contact me for an updated personal quote. Look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend/s! I am available for Dog Walking and Drop in visits Monday - Sunday. 9AM -9PM when time changes 9AM -7PM I can make exceptions in certain cases. I work in Gaston county and surrounding areas, approximately a 12-15 mile radius from my location. I love all animals and would treat each as if it were my own pet! I always make sure to get detailed information on each of my furry clients to insure if there is a problem I have the correct emergency contact and the Veterinarian they normally see. (emergency only). Otherwise, I would attend to any accidents they might have by cleaning up and letting parents know in whatever way they prefer text/phone call. I would show them affection and make each of my furry clients feel comfortable and secure while they were with me.

This was my first time hiring a pet sitter so needless to say, I was a little nervous. However, Donna immediately made me feel at ease. She is honest, professional, and easy to work with. She took great care of my cat, was respectful of my home, and made this a great experience for all of us. I highly recommend her for both cats and dogs!

Safety, trust & environment

Currently, I come to your home and follow your pets routine. It’s important to make them feel secure and have a regular schedule to follow. I prefer pet owner to let me know what they are expecting so I can satisfy everyone.

Information Donna M. would like to know about your pet

I like to know about any triggers your dog has like he/she chases rabbits. Scared of other dogs or certain people. Are they timid or super energized?? Things about their personality help me while trying to fit into their world. Also any allergies to food, etc. or special treats they like. Maybe a certain way they like their food prepared. Anything you think is important, I will too!

A typical day

I will follow the guidelines you set. But I take them for a long walk or play fetch. Anything that will keep them active. Make sure they potty Also. I can feed them on a certain schedule if you want me to include that in my visit.
