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 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.

She is the best!! Thank you Donna
This is our third time hiring Donna, she was wonderful as always with our cat, and is always a joy to communicate with!
From the first time I met Donna I knew my cat Fern was in good hands. She's the archetype of the friendly neighbor -- kind, thoughtful, and joyful. She formed a quick connection with Fern and her updates made my day and made it clear that all was well while I was away. I recommend her for any pet sitting or care needs.
Donna gave us peace of mind, and this is priceless. She took such great care of our little Milo and went above and beyond, checking extra days because of a travel delay. The pictures she sent each day showed how comfortable our baby was around her. Donna gave treats, love, and undivided attention. Thank you so much

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.
