Introduction: 4/14/24, 💜 KINDLY read my reviews, profile, rates & availability to determine if we're a good match. I'm charged for your inquiry, regardless of the outcome. I provide attentive care for cats & select smaller dogs over 3 years, who possess a serene disposition, and are gentle during walks. I can accommodate up to 2 dogs. While taking care of your pets & home, I'll keep you updated with texts & pictures of your pets. I provide attentive care for cats and select small dogs Please note that the listed rate is arbitrary; my pricing typically starts at $135 for 2 small, calm dogs. (Just a heads-up: Kennel rates are $61 - $71 for 1 dog) A 5-night minimum stay is necessary. I can consider accommodating a 2-night stay, provided the dates align with the start or end of my availability. This ensures that your brief 2-night trip wont prevent me from accepting longer booking. The base rate for a cat begins at $45 to $50. I'm currently open to accepting new clients who align with the exceptional client reviews and appreciate the dedication I put into caring for pets and who value my presence with their pets during the daytime as well as spending the night. Since I don't have pets of my own, offering this service allows me to get my pet-fix! I'm Booked these dates: 6/13 - 6/17/24 I'm responsible, trustworthy, dependable and resourceful with issues if they occur with your pets or home. I appreciate pet owners who grasp concepts like energy, meditation, or yoga. It shows they recognize the enhanced value I bring through my energy, especially since cats and dogs are sensitive to and thrive on positive energy. *Please Include in your inquiry trip dates, pet type/ages, photos and your location/neighborhood. Kindly confirm it's a non-smoking, organized, clutter free home. :) I'm a cold water swimmer in the Sound & prefer less than a 20-minute drive. I live in Olympia but service West & North Seattle & areas. Note: Erin's 2020 Review, she's relied on me for their pet care for 16 years! The single negative review doesn't accurately capture the complete experience. Thanks, 💞 Donna, Overnight Pet Sitter

Donna took wonderful care of our two dogs. One of them is very shy and Donna was patient and gentle with her and Luna warmed up to her the first day. The house was left clean and the dogs were relaxed and happy when we arrived home.

Donna was a godsend. We were nervous about hiring someone we had never met before but were re-assured by her detailed questions and obvious concern about our animals and home even before we met her. But more importantly, our animals loved her. When we returned from our trip it was clear they were their calm and happy selves. Donna took fantastic care of them and our home looked great. We hope to use her again!

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