Pet care experience
Professional - Tesoro Viejo Area
Located in the Tesoro Viejo, Madera Area Hi! Thanks so much for considering me to care for your pets. I provide experienced, compassionate pet care and treat every animal as if they were my own. I bring years of hands-on pet care experience, strong business values, and a calm, thoughtful approach shaped by life experience. I’m attentive to routines, quick to notice changes, and committed to keeping pets safe, comfortable, and loved. My rates reflect the level of care I provide. While I may not be the least expensive option, clients often choose me for my reliability, consistency, and the peace of mind that comes with experience and maturity. I’m also a part-time elementary school teacher, and caring for others — children, animals, and families — is something I’m deeply passionate about. This allows me to create thoughtful, reliable schedules that work well for both pets and their people. I’m based in the Tesoro Viejo area, which allows me to provide dependable, convenient care for nearby clients. I am experienced in providing care for dogs, cats, chickens, bunnies, ducks, and horses. I honestly have to say, I fall in love with all of them. If you’re looking for more than just a sitter — someone you can truly trust — I’d love to help.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in their own home and focus on maintaining a routine that is familiar and comforting to them. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner to ensure their pets feel safe and secure. Whether it’s for drop-in visits, dog walking, or enrichment activities, I always give pets my full attention, offering affection, playtime, and care tailored to their individual needs. I also ensure the home is left as it was when I arrived, respecting the owner's space and belongings.
Ratings and reviews
Donna was very sweet and caring. She was extra thoughtful and took care of Astro as if he were her own.
Donna was amazing. After our Daisy had one issue with an in home stay last year we figured we choose to have her in home but checked up on. Donna was local, punctual and amazing. Above and beyond and very communicative. Will always use and recommend Donna going forward. Many thanks Donna!!
Donna was great. She even gave Freddie a massage!
Donna took such good care of our pups! They loved here! We will definitely use her again!
First time using Rover so I was a little bit nervous but Donna was AMAZING!! She spent a ton of time with my sweet boy! She sent pictures, took him on a walk, and even taught him a new trick (I literally booked her to drop in twice). You could just tell how much she cared about his comfort and well being; for instance, our heat went out and when the temperature dropped she offered to drive an extra two hours to bring him a heater! We live super far away from her and yet she still took an extra trip to come meet all of us. I could not recommend her enough! She’s wonderful!!
Hi fellow fur parents! Boy did I luck out when a friend of mine recommended Donna McDonald to me to pet and house sit for us. We had never used anyone besides family before. She was so good with our little pug! She sent us pictures and updates every other day and even taught him new tricks!! Kirby just loved her and we did too. I highly recommend Donna to care for your treasured pet! She even left our house cleaner then when we left! Feel free to text me if you have any questions!
