Pet care experience

Kind, Compassionate, Communicative

I've been a lover of cats and dogs for my whole life, and more recently I've come to love the company and care of birds. I've been raising good, loving, well behaved family doggies (8) and kitties (7) for over 20 years, and I've been raising pet pigeons, parrots, and cockatiels for going on 9 years now. Animals love me, and I super love them too ☺️

Drop-In Visits • Jun 20, 2026

I highly recommend Donovan. He watched after my mom‘s dog and my dog. He is very caring and the dogs enjoy his company. He is reliable, and I like his pictures and messages that he sends about the pets during his visits. It helps me know that they are being well taken care of.

Donovan was super flexible and able to watch my Millie last minute! She isn’t crate trained yet but he was so kind as to make sure she wasn’t alone while I worked!

Donovan did a great job watching Sally and Patty. They really loved being with him! It made it easier for me to leave for a few days.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment complex with a dedicated dog park and with tons of space for walking and running. I regularly take out the animals in intervals of 3-6 hours depending on how many clients I have and whether I'm booked solid. My apartment has a whole room dedicated to boarding 1-2 dogs or cats (same owner only for now) while our own dogs and cats roam the rest of the apartment when not transporting clients in and out. I am dedicated to establishing your trust in me and in my ability to follow your directions.

Pets

A typical day

I'm a big fan of long walks, outside time in general, and otherwise cuddling indoors and watching some television or read some DC comic books ☺️
