Pet care experience
I've been taking care of and training dogs since I was 7years old. I've worked at the Raleigh SPCA where I was taught how to train dogs by using hand signals, Paws volunteer rescue center in Yokosuka Japan where I took care of mostly rescue cats and I owned two kennels both were pitbull kennels all of them were house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. If needed I will train a dog or puppy that needs training. I have a general passion and love for animals and a don't give up attitude on any animal. I've been put to the test by a lot of the rescue animals I've helped take care of, but I always managed to get them to trust me and eventually the other people around. I WILL BE RELOCATING TO SPAIN 15DEC2022
Reviews
Donovan was a great sitter. He followed instructions and made me feel at ease leaving my dogs for the first time. He sent updates and replied to all of my messages throughout the stay.
This was our first time leaving our 6 month old Great Dane puppy. Donovan was fantastic. He did a meet and greet, was on time, and sent us pictures! He made our vacation so much more enjoyable knowing our baby was well Taken care of and loved on! Arsenic’s personality didn’t skip a beat!
This is the second time we have had the pleasure of hiring Donovan to take care of our two kitty cats. He did a phenomenal job ensuring they were well taken care of when we were gone. Donovan goes above and beyond the usual Rover job description, responds almost immediately to messages, and is reliable. He is also a great photographer and captured the personality of our kitties which brought us joy when we reviewed the Rover cards. We look forward to having him take care of our kitties in the future! Thanks Donovan!
No issues. Everything as expected. Good communication. Pets were happy when I got back. Thanks!

Information Donovan S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pup is on any type of medication, has anxiety, how their meds are administered i.e. oral, or by syringe and any other information that needs to be noted.
A typical day
I like to take them on walks the smaller dogs I walk with Cooz(yorky) and the bigger ones I walk Rocky (Bully). The walks are normally a mile maybe a little more or we'll just play in the yard.
