Pet care experience

I’ll love them like my own

I am a 35 year old mother to one human baby and one fur baby currently :) looking to earn some extra cash to pay off some debt, get some exercise and help out pet owners all at the same time. My dogs name is Josie she is 8(ish) year old Australian Shepard. She is a mamas girl, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! Prior to Josie I had a Greyhound who has since passed from bone cancer (Cooper). We rescued him from a race track. I have experience with providing medications to animals in addition to the walking and drop in sessions. Would like to have another dog or two, but waiting until we have a bigger home/yard to add more animals. Until then I can love on yours! I am currently freelance worked so my schedule is flexible. I choose the hours I work which makes this line of work ideal for me. I care for the pets I service as if they are my own. Respecting the home I am in is important, that is what I would want if someone was in my home and taking care of my pets.

Donna was very friendly and Mia loved her walk. She obviously loves dogs and I appreciate that Donna offers a flexible schedule. I definitely recommend her. Thank you, Donna.

Donna truly understands cats: it's obvious, and my cat Sisu loved her the minute he met her. I came home to happy loving beast, very tidy feeding area, clean cat-box. I have a feeling Donna spent plenty of time cuddling Sisu -- he's usually a lot more antsy when I get home from a trip. Would recommend Donna with my whole heart, and if she's available, request her again. Sisu would be glad to see her as well. If you're looking for super-cat-whisperer, it's Donna. She also, very kindly, brought in the mail.

House Sitting • Jul 07, 2025

We would give Donna more stars if we could. We were out of town when our current sitter couldn’t complete her commitment. We were panicked and reached out to several providers. Donna was the first to respond and was at the house in less than an hour of our first contact. She was very flexible, reliable, and caring. She sent us regular pictures and videos of our pets, which definitely put us at ease. We would definitely love to work with her again and would recommend you do as well.

Donna is great with our dogs and is very flexible with her schedule. She is punctual with her visit and always gives us peace of mind when we have to be away from our dogs for the day. Thank you Donna!

Donna did a great job caring for our boy Abe! He was fed, walked and played out!
