Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving, responsible dog & cat care
I have an innate ability to connect with dogs and cats. I am able to read their body language and am mindful of their needs. Also, I talk to your fur babies! Yes, that's right--I talk to them! Even if your fur baby is a shy cat that won't ever come out when I visit, I will still talk to him/her--from a distance, of course! I will NEVER force unwanted affection on an animal. Particularly cats. I've cared for many, many cats and some that I've cared for do not want any touching of any kind. I can administer oral or topical medication to both dogs and cats. I am happy to play with your fur babies as well!
Cat care experience
Donna also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am happy and able to provide the care that your dog or cat needs and is accustomed to in your home. I have cared for dogs with a wide variety of personalities and needs. I am adept at caring for dogs that are uncomfortable around other dogs and kids and have cared for a dog that is highly unsettled by many different noises. I am able to calm your dog and make them feel safe in situations that scare them. I have also taken care of many, many cats and will meet them where they are. Don't want pets or scritches? Don't want me to make eye contact? No problem!
Ratings and reviews
Donna is so caring with our cat and sends sweet updates with photos :)
Donna is the best: attentive, reliable, and really sees your pets for their personalities. I hope I never have to work with someone else!
We love Donna. We have a senior cat that needs some meds that Donna reliably can give our cat who can be cranky about meds. She also always gives her pets and attention beyond basic food/med needs which we appreciate. We feel grateful to have found her!
Donna is such an attentive and caring sitter who genuinely loves to spend time with your furry friends! She is timely and consistent, which both we and our cats appreciated. She is very communicative, sending detailed updates for every visit along with pictures. Our cats felt so loved during her visits (which was so obvious from the pictures and videos she sent). Will absolutely be contacting her again the next time we need someone to look after our cats.
Donna was kind and communicative, sending plenty of photos and updates. She took extra thoughtful care of my cat during the heat wave. I came home to a happy cat :)
Donna is the absolute best. She somehow did the impossible and now my kitty waits for her by the door. Our cat typically only likes my husband and I. Donna is truly the pet whisperer. She’s also such a delight. We are so grateful to have Donna as our cat sitter.

Schedule
My schedule during weekdays is quite full. I have a number of regularly scheduled dog walks throughout the week. That said, I certainly may be able to squeeze in a dog walk for you if you have a need. I'm also available for dog/cat sitting in your home and I can certainly provide drop-in visits for your kitties! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me--I will do my best to accommodate any requests.
