Flexible Louisville Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I am a Colorado native and marketing student (Full Time MBA) at the Leed School of Business at CU Boulder, finishing up my degree in the next year. My schedule is very open due to being a student and allows me to be flexible in walking, visiting, and house sitting pets while you are away on vacation, business meetings, at the beach, visiting other family, or any other reason that your fur-child would need accompaniment. I've had pets my whole life and we've helped each other learn and grow. As a visually impaired individual it has been important for me to work and learn how to train pets and animals that have come into our home and I have a long list of pets from Chico our Chihuahua to Luna our Rottweiler/Pit Bull in which I have been able to take care of including an Australian Shepherd (Copper) who required special attention due to a tumor that ended up growing in his leg. I have worked with untrained dogs including a Golden Retriever puppy (Duke) I had gotten who is the only dog to have dropped out of pet training (he was the most ditsy and loving dog ever) that we taught to be well trained, though still clumsy. I have gone through service dog training and have worked with both potential future and current service dogs. I am willing to help with training your loved ones in addition to sitting/walking them. Our house current has two furry friends, a german shepherd (Ranger) and a cat (Valentine), however, there is always more room in both my house and my heart for more animals.

Donovan was a pleasure to work with. He was prompt and reliable, sent pictures and gave us a short report of his time with our 4 month old puppy. She seemed well cared for. I would ask him back again when we need a dog sitter.

Donovan was wonderful with our two dogs! Super responsive and took great care of them at our home while we were gone for a long weekend:)

My pup was happy! Donovan checked in every few days and administered her medication without any trouble.
