Highlights
Pet care experience
Dependable Animal Lover
I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life. Growing up in a multi-pet household taught me the basics, and today I own both a cat and a Mini Australian Shepherd. I understand firsthand the unique personalities of both cats and dogs, and I’m fully prepared to give your pets the dedicated care, exercise, and attention they deserve while you're away.

Ratings and reviews
Koda had such a great time with Dontae. They sent frequent videos and photos. He was clearly very loved and cared for. Will definitely use them again! Thank you!
Dontae was great. Very communicative, shared pics and videos through out the day and my dog played great with his dog. She was in a great mood after! I would work with him again!
Dontae and his girlfriend are kind, thoughtful people. They were excellent communicators from the start. Easy to meet up with and eager to learn about my dog. Throughout the day they sent plenty of updates, including lots of pictures and videos. They also have an adorable, friendly dog & two cats. They took my dog on long walks in Central Park and even brought her to the dog park. I could tell she was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. I almost wondered if she missed me at all. I especially appreciate how easy they made it to set everything up, even with my last-minute daycare request. I highly recommend them.
We had such a great experience! He took amazing care of Bruno and kept me updated throughout the stay with lots of photos, videos, and messages, which I really appreciated. He took Bruno on long walks through the park and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. Bruno looked so happy and comfortable the entire time, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Thank you so much for watching Mills overnight especially so last minute! I loved getting all the picture updates from your adventures to the park and playing and seeing her with your cat. Thank you for adapting to her style and carrying her in her bag! I can’t wait to use Dontae again to help with Mills. Highly recommend! :)
My experience working with Donate was very pleasant and I highly recommend if you are looking for someone to trust your dog with - Dontae is ur person! He sent us photos and updates throughout the day which was really helpful and important to me because it helped me feel at peace that my dog is in good hands. Additionally, Dontae and his girlfriend took yuzu to an off leash park everyday where yuzu had sooo much fun - they made sure yuzu was having a good time and they slept with yuzu on the bed (which made me so so happy). Dontae’s dog Oliver is adorableee calm and sweet and yuzu and him got along really well. I’m very happy with my experience with Dontae and I will continue to work with him because he has made his home a second home to Yuzu 😊

Schedule
Pet care is a primary focus in my weekly routine. Because I manage my own calendar, I can easily dedicate specific blocks of time for drop-in visits, dog walking, or house sitting. I map out my schedule in advance to ensure that every pet in my care gets undivided attention, timely meals, and the right amount of exercise they need.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet just like my own. I live in a secure apartment with a doorman on the Upper East Side, which makes for a very safe and controlled environment. I have a cat and a Mini Aussie who are both super pet friendly and love making new companions. Whether I am watching your pet in my home or visiting yours, I prioritize safety above all else, sticking to your specific feeding schedules, managing safe introductions, and keeping a close eye on them at all times. I’ll be sure to send you plenty of updates and pictures throughout the day!
