Highlights
Pet care experience
take excellent care of your baby
Being a great pet sitter goes far beyond the basics of feeding and bathroom breaks—it’s about providing genuine care, grooming, and companionship. My heart for animals runs deep, inspired by my late 15-year-old poodle, Girly, who was a brave breast cancer survivor, and my current dog, Elmer, a retired show dog. After taking a brief hiatus from open dog sitting to focus on my own health and successfully overcome breast cancer (while continuing to serve my wonderful regular clients), I am so glad to be fully back and welcoming new families! Elmer is My Co-Worker: I consider Elmer my full-time business partner! I wouldn't feel like a good pet parent if I left him home alone to care for another dog, so I only accept house-sitting bookings where Elmer is invited to tag along. He loves every single dog he meets, is exceptionally well-trained and gentle, and makes a wonderful companion for your pets during my stays! My schedule as a school bus driver gives me a wonderful split shift with a large break in the middle of the day to drop in and pamper your fur baby. Plus, I’m typically off on weekends! I prefer staying on-site for house-sitting stays so your pet can stay comfortable at home. Overnight visits include evening and morning feedings, walks, and lots of affection. You can travel with complete peace of mind knowing your pet and home are in safe, trustworthy hands."

Safety, trust & environment
When house-sitting, I take care of your home just as thoughtfully as I care for your pet! I collect mail and packages, water flowers and plants, handle trash pickup, keep the house clean, and ensure your home stays safe and secure while you’re away. I also send regular text and photo updates for your total peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
Donna is always wonderful and gives me peace of mind when on a trip.

Donna is the best pet companion around
Donna is wonderful! Very grateful to her for all the care and empathy that she cares for our cat.

She took wonderful care of our cat while we were away. Reliable, communicative, and clearly attentive to the little details that matter. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat and everything just as it should be. Highly recommend.

As always, great sitter
Donna, Takes great care with our older dogs. I don't know what we would do without her.

Schedule
I currently drive as a bus driver, so I have plenty of time and love in between my routes to take care of your fur babies.
