Professional Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm, so I was always surrounded by animals. It’s been the same throughout my life, as I’ve raised many dogs and cats, including, presently, my dear little 12-year-old pug, Hannah. Because I’ve seen just about everything as a pet owner, I understand the difficulties of being separated from your four-footed family members. My goal is for you to relax and know your pet is while you are away. What does your dog enjoy? That’s what we’ll do! Walks in the neighborhood or nearby park, tug-of-war, fetch, frisbee—they can all be part of our daily routine, which will of course include plenty of snuggling and cuddling! I love hiking and walking along the Delaware at low tide, so if your dog is the outdoorsy sort, we’re sure to have a great time! And if they're the snuggle on the couch sort, we'll do that too. My considerable expertise with animals makes me an exceptional caregiver. I'm comfortable giving medications orally or via injection. My medical background helps me to know when something is a minor issue or requires a trip to the vet. If we agree on arrangements, I will first schedule a meet-and-greet to acquaint myself with you and your dog, and to learn your dog’s routine and any special needs they may have. During the stay, I will text you with daily updates with photos so you can rest assured that your dog is having a wonderful time. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your dog. Contact me today!

Donna did a great job with our dogs. Our dogs loved her which isn't an easy task sometimes. I highly recommend her and would use her again. Marc

Donna was great with our cat, Conan! He is very skiddish around new people, and she allowed him to warm up to her to even play a little bit. We loved getting pictures from her every day while we were gone!

Information Donna R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know as much as possible about your pet and their routine in order to keep disruptions to a minimum. Do they have a preferred walking route? Is there any house or yard I should avoid? Where do you keep the dog’s medications, vet info, and shot info?

A typical day

It’s your dog’s time, so we’ll do what they want. If your dog prefers a twice-daily walk routine, I can provide that, no problem at all. If your dog’s a snuggler, we’ll get in lots of pets and affection. Your dog will end each day well rested, as we get in lots of playtime.
