During the school year, I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM in the Wentzville area. Before and after work, I provide pet care services, including overnight stays, drop-in visits, and dog walks. On weekends, holidays, school breaks, and days off, I have greater flexibility, though I may have other scheduled visits or personal errands. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure every pet receives reliable, attentive care and that their routine is maintained as consistently as possible.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I’ll keep you updated through the Rover app with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. If I ever notice anything unusual or have a concern about your pet’s health or behavior, I’ll contact you right away. I believe clear communication, honesty, and reliability are the foundation of excellent pet care, and I strive to provide you with peace of mind while you’re away.

Information Donovan B. would like to know about your pet

During our meet and greet, I’ll ask a variety of questions to make sure I can provide the best care possible. I’ll want to know about any medications, medical conditions, allergies, dietary restrictions, or health concerns that may require veterinary attention while you’re away. I’ll also ask about your pet’s personality, including whether they’re food aggressive, have separation anxiety, are comfortable around men or women, and if there are any triggers or routines I should know about. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I tailor my care to their personality and energy level. If your pet loves cuddles, movie nights, relaxing on the couch, or taking naps, we’ll get along great! For more active pets, I’m happy to provide walks (weather permitting), playtime, and plenty of enrichment to help them burn off energy. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

Years of Rover Experience

Pet care experience

Your pets’ safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priority. I’ve had three dogs throughout my life and currently help care for a chocolate Lab and two cats. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and can confidently handle multiple pets at once. I believe communication is key, so I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away. If I ever have a question or concern about your pet, I’ll contact you right away. During every visit, I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, and personalized care. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you’re away. For overnight stays, your pets will have companionship and care throughout my stay. On weekdays when schools are in session, I work in the Wentzville area during the day. On days off I may also leave the home to complete scheduled drop-in visits, dog walks, or essential errands before returning. If your pet requires someone to remain at home for most or all of the day, please let me know before booking. This level of care is considered constant care, requires reserving my schedule exclusively for your pet, and is priced separately based on availability. I work in the Wentzville area during the week, so I’m often nearby. Weekend availability varies, but I’d be happy to discuss your needs and see if we’re a good fit.

This was our second time having Donovan care for our 2 cats. He is prompt, communicative, and took excellent care of Sookie and Henry!

Donovan was awesome. He was so caring to our sweet kitty while we were away. He took care of cat litter cleanings, food, water, and took time to earn her trust and give lots of pets and cuddles. He even went above and beyond and pulled in our trash can from the curb and got our mail without even being asked! We will definitely be repeat customers. :)

Donovan did a fantastic job watching over my pet while I was on vacation. In the past I had never used a pet sitter, but I really wanted to take a good vacation away from home, and not be worrying about my pet everyday. Donovan took away that stress and went above and beyond making sure my cat was well taken care of. Thank you!
