Second stay with Donna and feel very comfortable having him stay again. Donna does a great job with him and makes vacation enjoyable since I don’t have to worry about his care.

Donna was great with our old man. Kept us updated with pictures and took care of his medicines and specific diet. Great sitter!

Donna did a great job looking after my dog. She was quick to respond and took good care of him while I was away. Overall, I was pleased with her service.
