Energetic lover 🥰 of Fur-babies!

Pet care experience

I’m a lover of fur babies big or small and been around them for over 40 years! I’ve raised Sheep dogs with a litter! I’ve grown up with or had Siberian huskies, Alaskan Malamutes, Wolf- Husky cross, Sheep dogs,( one was very strong willed and physically strong.) Cocker Spaniels, Beagles and Lhasa Apso dogs. I have a Calico cat and had a Domestic short haired cat! I have an early morning walk commitment once a week during the school year though it’s quite flexible with client! I have lots of time to care for your fur babies! Feel welcome to reach out! I live in a condo type unit so for now I can’t provide in-house care! ( eventually!) I can watch your pet in your home. I’ve had lots of experience with multiple medicine administration for different dogs at the same time within a setting. I’ve also fixed foods that require extra needs. I’ve dealt with puppies, and finicky eaters and some doggies who need some training. I’ve even advised pet owners with tips and guidance tips for gentle pet discipline tricks. I’ve worked with elderly doggies. I recently even was the dog provider at a wedding to be the Assistant Ring Bearer with fur baby! Imagine that! Total bliss! I am responsible & reliable and have gone into people’s home with care and respect! My schedule is very open since I’m retired and fit! Willing to come in home and do overnight care too! I’m a very active person physically and walk-run in all types of weather. Upon gas prices etc if you so consider compensation for my Meet and Greet at any level it is so appreciated. I take great pride in my doggie care of utmost care! If not I’m good too! ☺️

Donna has been great. Totally reliable and the dogs love when she comes. I really enjoyed the photos while they’re out on the walk.

Donna did ann excellent job watching our two kitties for a week while we were away. She is super communicative and sends photos from each visit. We had peace of mind while on vacation knowing Donna was taking care of our fur babies!

I walk, feed and love your fur baby as though it’s my very own! Lots of TLC and talking and chilling with them. I will follow your directions and send pictures and if questions keep you in the loop.

Information Donna S. would like to know about your pet

It’s great to know the quirks of your fur baby! We have quirks too! Lol! I’ve worked with dogs with anxiety and if different temperaments.. I can read a dog like the dog whisper well!! I like to know how to make them feel like I’m just part of the family. Note: I’ve been at this for awhile and have learned it’s best to have instructions written out as at one's fingertips for easy access. WIFI and hooking up to technology is important since this keeps communication lines open. Extra: Shoveling, mail collecting, garbage are extra service costs. I am happy to do these for a price with discussion. A Meet and Greet is the time to explain, meet as said and usual lasts no longer than .50 hour. A marginal price has been collected for my time and travel due to this being my BIZ. I’m writing these to keep communication open.

A typical day

I’ll walk your dog. Snuggle. Talk to them. Give them TLC. Treat them gently yet with some firmness if you desire. Yes, more TLC! Tug a war games, ball throwing.. more TLC … just chill out together! I have a keen perception to each animal’s personality like us!

These prices are for one cat. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
