Highlights
Pet care experience
6 years with Rover! Dog park near!
I have volunteered with Gainesville Pet Rescue and various humane societies. I have dog treats for your dogs if I am allowed to give to them occasionally (unless instructed not to by you because of your dog's strict diet or any other reason). There is are two dog parks within my complex and doggie bag waste stations around the complex perfect for dog walking. I love pets and have a friendly, playful pup of my own named Champ! I treat all animals with the uttermost care and make sure your pet will have an enjoyable time whether it is dog walking or dog/cat sitting. I take care of my neighbors' dogs whenever they are out of town and would do the same with my former roommate when we lived in Gainesville. I have dog sat for multiple friends and clients before and am very well trusted around pets. Your dog does not have to be crate trained but needs to be house trained and know not to pee inside the house. Puppies are an exception, I don't mind placing pee pads around if they are just learning house training. I am available most days and nights with prior notice. My schedule is flexible so feel free to contact me anytime about availability.
Cat care experience
Donovan also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I will make sure to do whatever necessary so that your pet will feel safe in their own home. I can follow any routine you would like me to and am always willing to do a meet-and-greet before hand if you’d like. I have experience with all types of dogs from shy dogs with separation anxiety to jumpy energetic dogs that require lots of exercise. I make sure to provide pictures and updates about how the visit went. Am always available for contact if you have any questions or need me to do anything extra while caring for your pet! For dog boarding, I have a fenced-in backyard for your dogs to play outside with mine. They can also play with toys inside and have a couch area they can nap on if they please.

Schedule
I mainly work from home currently unless I am out sitting for other pets or volunteering. My schedule is very flexible and will usually be available to accept your booking if you let me know in advance. I have a dog of my own and often care for my friends’ cats and dogs. I will care for your furry friend as if they were my own!
