Information Donna N. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or dietary restrictions. My goal is to keep your fur baby as close to your schedule as possible. I cannot take an aggressive dog for the safety of mine or others. I encourage an initial meet n greet so that we can meet before the visit to ensure it will be a good fit for all. I do require that all immunizations are up to date & that your baby is on a flea preventative.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your fur baby both physically & mentally. I have a big fenced in yard for them to run & play in. We go for walks around the neighborhood, play at a nearby park, take rides for doggy ice cream. I have lots of toys, soft cuddly beds & a snack bar.

Pet care experience

My first cat lived to 20. My first dog, a Doberman, to 13. My beloved West Highland Terrier, Lacey, passed away at the age of 17 last year. She was diabetic & had Cushings so I was used to injecting her with insulin & dispensing pills. My 20 yr old Maine Coon, Rocky, lived a long, fairly healthy life until 2 yrs ago when I lost him. So I now have my Maltese Daisy who is 14 yrs old. I also recently adopted a 10 yr old Lhasa Apso named Paisley from her former owner who hired me to board her over the last year. I have been a pet sitter for dogs that ranged from a chihuahua to a pit bull mix. I treat them like part of my family. We have treat time, walk time, cuddle & play time & a big fenced in yard for free time. We welcome the smaller dogs to cuddle on the couch while we watch a movie at night. I send pics & video to reassure you that your pet is in good hands & happy. I am recently retired from my banking career of 42 years. My time is flexible. I can be available for pick up & drop off any day after 9 am ( or earlier upon request) I have a fully fenced yard & friendly fur babies to help your baby feel welcome. I have crates available if needed.

We couldn’t have been luckier to find Donna on Rover. We knew within minutes of meeting her that our dog was in great hands! Our dog is recovering from a paw injury and needed a little extra TLC and Donna was the perfect sitter! We got tons of updates and pictures of our dog while we were away and it was so reassuring to know we left our dog with someone who treats the dogs like her own! 5 stars! We will definitely book with Donna again definitely recommend to anyone in need of a sitter!

Donna is the absolute best! She treated Luna like the princess she is covering her with soft blankees and keeping her happy and comforted. She went out of her way to bring her home as well by request. We can’t thank Donna enough!

We had a family emergency and needed to board our dog Luna last minute, Donna was kind enough to take her in and care for her. Boarding with Donna was an ease, we got regular updates with photos, videos and texts throughout. We can tell Luna was comfortable and enjoyed her stay very much - thanks “Auntie Donna”!! Highly recommend her services as she genuinely loves animal and retakes a great care of them! We will rebook her again :)

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
