Introduction

~ Overnight Pet Sitting with 23 Years of Experience ~ I specialize in providing in-home care for cats and dogs under 30 lbs that don't pull on walks. Since I don’t have pets of my own, all my attention and TLC are devoted to your furry loved ones. I bring a big heart and extensive pet experience, ensuring your pets feel safe and loved in your absence. I work remotely from your home as a meditation teacher. I stay at your home during the day and overnight, offering lots of TLC and companionship for you cat, plus security for your home. While caring for your cat or dog, I'll keep you updated with texts and pictures. Kindly read most or all of my reviews, profile, and availability to determine if we're a good match. I'm booked these dates: 5/14 - 5/25/25 (in Olympia) A 5-night minimum stay is required. I prefer caring for two pets to meet my desired rate. Cat rate is less than rate posted. When inquiring, please include your location, trip dates, pet photos, and any special care needs. Note: There is a surcharge for July 4, and I am only accepting cats during this period due to fireworks. I am not booking for Christmas at this time. I am responsible, trustworthy, dependable, and resourceful, capable of handling any issues that may arise with your pets or home. Kindly confirm your home is non-smoking and clutter-free. I serve Alki, Queen Anne, West & North Seattle, Blue Ridge, Edmonds and Olympia/Lacey. As a cold-water, year-round swimmer, I appreciate homes within 15 minutes of the Puget Sound. Thanks, 😻  Donna, Overnight Pet Sitter

Donna watched my 10 month old cat Margo. She did a great job with communication before, during and after our trip. She made sure that Margo received her food, play time and connection time while staying at our place. Donna even sent me pictures of her during our time away, which felt really good. I was very comfortable leaving both the care of my cat and safety of our house in her hands. Thank you, will use again!

Donna is the Mary Poppins of pet sitting! Our pets missed her after she left, especially our very finicky Miss Macy. We would definitely book Donna again.

Donna came and stayed in my home for three nights and four days. Oreo is a senior dog, 15+ years old and has renal failure. I could not get out of a work trip and needed someone very reliable and dependable that could take Oreo to the vet for emergency services if needed. Fortunately that was not needed, but I know if that was the case Donna is capable of supporting that process. The house was left nice and tidy, bed stripped like requested, etc. I would have no qualms hiring Donna again if needed. I do have family that can watch Oreo, but at her advanced age I wanted Oreo comfortable in her own space. If you have any specific questions please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Donna took good care of our household of pets, 2 dogs and 3 cats. She was conscientious in her care and communication with us throughout our travels. In fact we were delayed on our return trip and she was able to stay an additional night, which was so reassuring for us until we could get home.

Once you read my profile and reviews and send pics, lets schedule a phone call or FaceTime.
