Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet's home away from home
My name is Donna (but I also go by Debbie). I am a retired grandma who has always had a big heart for animals. I've grown up caring and loving countless pets and they have become such a special part of my family through the years. I am also the proud grandma of 3 grandpups. After we had to put down my sweet boy, Toby, a few years ago, I could not bring myself to get another dog. It is simply too hard when it's time to say goodbye. But I still feel a longing to be surrounded by pets and being able to care for other people's animals has been the perfect way to help fill that paw-print shaped hole in my heart.

Ratings and reviews
Donna was an amazing sitter for our two dogs! They can be a bit rambunctious and Donna handled them with ease. They were so comfortable cuddling with her, we got regular updates, and they were happy as ever when we picked them up. Everything you can ask for in a sitter and more!
Donna was absolutely wonderful in caring for KiKi, our Petite (yet energetic) German Shepherd rescue. Kiki was immediately comfortable with Donna. She was able to not only give safe care and space, but also anticipated our 5 year-old rescue's need for companionship which helped quell Kiki's separation anxiety. This is a massive WIN for Kiki and for us. Our Pup trusted Donna's active yet casual approach which also became an energetic approach as needed. Donna also sent us photos of our dog's day long stay, her walks, chasing balls, her exploring. We nominate Donna for a Rover Doggie Day Care Giver Champion-of-the-Day! Thank you, Donna!
My dog is very bonded to me and requires a lot of attention. I wanted someone who didn't go to work each day and leave her alone. Donna was the perfect sitter. She gave Daisy lots of love & attention and I know my dog got the care she's accustomed to. I highly recommend her.
A huge thank you to Donna for taking such wonderful care of Shujaa 💕 I’m so grateful that she truly understood my pup’s nervousness and made space in her day to accommodate her needs. That kind of care and attention is exactly what you hope to find in a dog sitter — someone who puts your dog’s comfort first. 🐾
Amazing! Best dog sitter I’ve had and I have had a bunch! She is on time, sends updates and pictures, pays attention to your dogs needs as mine has some medical and unique feeding protocol stuff. She is very loving and attentive, was the perfect house guest and left it as clean as we left it.
Donna was wonderful, lots of updates and made lyric very comfortable during her stay when I picked her up I could see how much she enjoyed her stay and was very comfortable with Donna! Would highly recommend

I am retired and I'm available most days and nights. I would love to have a little buddy to hang out with and love on.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a back yard with a pool and we have two parks in our neighborhood. I love to take dogs on walks around our neighborhood, play fetch, tug-a-war, and just loving on sweet pets.
A typical day
I would love to play ,walk, and cuddle with your fur baby. I want to bring them as much joy as they will bring me.
