Happy relations treating with care

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Donovan, I am a young adult who has always lived within the Boston area. I currently live in Somerville MA. I also currently work full time Monday through Friday from 7-4pm. My neighborhood is very open with multiple close parks open fields as well as trials to walk on. Willing to treat your pet with great care. I have taken care of both cats and dogs for over 10 years now. Many of my neighbors and friends have entrusted me to take care of their dog or cat while away and willing to walk, feed and bathe their pets.

Awesome dog sitter! Sent me tons of pictures, videos, and updates and my dog loved him!

I’ve known Donovan for a long time and I’ve always been able to rely on him to watch my pets; whether it be to watch my cat or to take my dog for walks while I was working Donovan was always available and extremely good with my pets. Sometimes I thought he was taking care of them better than me!

Donovan J is an amazing guy with his own pets and others as well, he’s very caring with them and will make sure they get attention and their needs are met. I highly recommend

Your pets are absolutely safe with Donovan! He helped watch my little sister’s pet rabbit ,Snickers, while we were out of town and by the time we came back, it’s almost as if Snickers forgot who his actual owner was (lol)! An experienced cat-dad himself, Donovan will treat your babies like he’s raised them himself. He’s patient and very gentle with animals as well as very accommodating to whatever needs you or your pet have. I’m definitely having him babysit for us again in the future!
