Introduction

~ Overnight Pet Sitting with 23 Years of Experience ~ I specialize in providing in-home care for cats. 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 cats, 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. Your cat's happiness is my priority, and I deliver the energetic, compassionate care that has led some clients to call me the "cat whisperer." A 4-night minimum stay is required. I prefer watching up to 2 pets to ensure my time, care, and rate are justified. Please include: location, trip dates, pet photos, and any unique care requirements. 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 and North Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Edmonds, Olympia, and Lacey. As a cold-water, year-round swimmer, I appreciate homes within 15 minutes of the Puget Sound. Thanks, 😻  Donna, Overnight Pet Sitter

I felt completely at ease leaving my kitty in Donna's care. She stayed at my house for six weeks and provided exceptional attention and care the entire time. Donna was very good about keeping me updated, sending regular messages and pictures that reassured me everything was going smoothly. Her communication was prompt, and I could tell my kitty was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Donna as a pet sitter.

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.

I highly recommend Donna as a pet sitter . We will use her again in the future . She took great care of our elderly pets while we were gone . She also sent updates . It was such a good feeling that we knew our pets were in good hands while we were away .
