I love to take care of fur babies!
Pet care experience
Do what you Love! My heart has always been for animals. That's what I love! My goal for your fur babies is for them to be happy and safe. We play, go out for rides in the car, walks, rest and keep to a schedule. I have been with Rover since 2005, when I started it was called Dog Vacay. I love getting to know new dogs, and caring for them as if they were my own. I have been with dogs who are fearful, over exuberant, puppies, and older dogs, including a 16 year old. I've cared for with emotional issues. You won't be sorry for choosing me, cause' I have a calming effect on animals. You will be confident in your choice to have me stay with your animals ... you can see that in the gallery photos. My first job working with animals was on a horse farm. I was a groom for 2 FEI Dressage horses at White Fences in Wellington. Being a groom involves the entire care of the horses from feeding breakfast, turn out, mucking the stalls, exercise, tacking them up for the rider, hosing them down after the workout, feeding dinner, watering and reporting any known changes to the owner.
Reviews
It was a pleasure having Donna watch my dog for two days while I was away. She kept me posted throughout the day and sent a lot of photos. I would not hesitate to hire Donna for any pet sitting and I will be hiring her again when my pet needs arise.
Donna is loving towards for Venus. I am grateful for having her drop in when I work long days.
Thanks, Donna, for taking care of Mimi and being patient with her!
Donna is amazing!!! She really went above and beyond caring for our babies (Fenway and Baxter). She was so kind with them, brought them to their favorite dog parks, exercised them, cuddled with them and cared for them like they were her own. I trust her and would recommend her 100%. I'm so happy we found her. ?

When I care for pets in your home, I am there to keep your animals safe and happy by keeping to their routine. I may go out for errands, but since I am retired, I am there to keep the animals company and that they are comfortable. They sense that I really care for them & love them.
Information Donna V. would like to know about your pet
Does the dog get along with other animals, children, adults, what are their fears. How do they react to strangers, storms, thunder? What are your dog's likes & dislikes. Do they ride well in car. Does your dog take meds? Does the dog like to be groomed? What is your dog's routine? Important to stay as close as possible to what your dog is used to.
A typical day
I like to keep the dog (or dogs), I sit for entertained. After breakfast, We can go for a walk or to the park. I like for the them to have a good time. We keep to a similar schedule that they are on. Most dogs love to ride in the car. So we can go for a ride to a pet store for cookies. I believe in fresh air and exercise. My dog Daphne & I walk about 3 miles daily, broken up in 2 walks, one after breakfast and one after dinner. This also includes dog parks. While I work at your home often the walking 3 miles can't be completed.

I try to keep the daily routine that your pets are used to. If your pup likes to go to the park or for a walk, then I am glad to provide them the diversity. My specialty is staying on the property to care for your pets and the house. This has included watering your flowers, taking in the mail, collecting deliveries, and leaving the estate spotless for your return.
