Ratings and reviews
Donovan takes such a good care of our dog. Really appreciate for being such a dog lover, and always being responsive to us. So glad we found someone our dog happily visits!!
Donovan is the best dog care! My dog is always happy with him!
We had an excellent experience with Donovan. He was professional, knowledgeable, and it was clear he genuinely cared about our dog. Throughout her stay, we received regular updates, photos, and communication, which gave us great peace of mind. It was obvious that he took the time to understand her needs and make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. We felt completely confident that she was in good hands. We would absolutely trust him with our dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, attentive pet care.
Truly appreciate taking a good care of our dog. It was our first time to leave our dog with none of our family, so we were a bit anxious- but Donovan made our dog comfortable and also made us comfortable. Very reliable experiences with dog, knowledgeable and I can tell my dog loved staying at his place! Thank you so much for helping us when we both needed to travel.
Donovan was an excellent sitter who provided consistent videos and updates. The yard area for the pets looked very clean. He was a reassuring sitter for a first-time user. I would definitely use him again,
Donovan was patient with me when I put the wrong day of my return to pick up my dog and he watched her another night and day. She always gets great care and love when he watches her and I can trust him to care for my baby.
