Availability

I’m currently taking classes, but my schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of time for pet care throughout the day. I can easily adjust around walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. Most of my classes are either online or scheduled in a way that leaves mornings, afternoons, and evenings open. I’m reliable, responsive, and always make sure your pet’s routine comes first.

Information Donovan B. would like to know about your pet

It’s really helpful for me to know your pet’s daily routine, energy level, and any medical needs or allergies they may have. I’d also love to know how they do around other dogs, people, or new environments, especially if we’ll be going on walks. Any behavior quirks like leash pulling, separation anxiety, or food guarding are important too so I can make sure they feel safe and cared for. Lastly, let me know what they love most, whether it’s fetch, cuddles, or quiet time, so I can give them the best possible experience.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping your pet happy, engaged, and feeling loved. We’ll start the day with a nice walk or some backyard playtime to burn off energy. Throughout the day, I keep a consistent routine that includes feeding, potty breaks, and lots of affection, whether that means belly rubs, fetch, or just some cozy nap time nearby. If your pet loves adventure, we might go on a walk through a local park or around the neighborhood. I also make time for mental stimulation with toys, light training games, or just keeping their environment enriched. Every pet is different so I tailor the day to their energy level, routine, and personality.

Donovan provided excellent care for my large reactive husky. He is personable, punctual and responsive to messaging. My dog Tiba absolutely loved going on walks/jogs with him. His track and field background is perfect to meet the level of activity my working dog craves. Thanks again for helping me and my dad out while I was away. -Diana

Donovan was amazing at taking care of our sweet girl. She is a reactive dog but Donovan was able to take her on walks no problem and play with her. He sent lots of photos and gave us reassurance that she was having a great time. My boyfriend’s flight also got delayed and he was able to take her for an extra walk. We will be rebooking in the future!

I’m so happy and grateful Donovan was able to watch Chuy! He took him for walks, took him to the mall, and sent us updates. 10/10 would recommend Donovan! I’m also so grateful he was willing to watch Chuy at our house!!!
