About Donna
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have had years of experience sitting for cats and dogs. I have raised orphan kittens and worked for a veterinarian for 3 years. I can also administer medications, for example, oral/injection. I have two cats of my own. I can take care of large dogs if they have a back yard to run around in. I am not able to walk large dogs but can walk smaller dogs. My goal is to have the animal feel comfortable at their own home. I have had my vaccines and boosters. References are available.

Donna is an excellent care giver. She is sincerely concerned about the well being of the pets. She spends time with them when she comes by to feed them, which is something that my pets desire a lot. She makes sure that they get the loving and human interaction that they need. I have one cat who is extremely shy and will not let anyone pet her. Donna wants to change that and works with the cat without going beyond the comfort zone of the cat. This shows respect for the cat. Donna is also very trustworthy. My house looks very nice upon my return and nothing is out of place. Donna also keeps in touch and is not bothered when I call. I have her watch my pets for four weeks at a time and she always keeps in touch and lets me know how things are going. I no longer have the anxiety I had previously because I know my pets will be well taken care of. Donna is wonderful.
