Introduction

Overnight Pet Sitting with 23 Years of Experience I specialize in providing loving in-home care for cats and small, calm dogs. While I don’t have pets of my own, I take joy in giving your pets the affection and attention they deserve. Your furry loved ones will receive the same care they’re accustomed to while you’re away. I bring a big heart and a calming presence, and a lot of pet experience ensuring your pets feel safe and loved in your absence. As a Life Coach and meditation teacher working remotely, I stay at your home during the day and overnight, offering consistent TLC and companionship. I’m currently cat sitting in through 1/5/25 and available starting 1/5/25. A 5-night minimum stay is required. I care for cats and small, calm dogs over 2 years old and prefer watching two pets to ensure my time, care, and rate are justified. While taking care of your pets & home, I'll keep you updated with texts & pictures of your pets. Kindly read my reviews, profile, rates & availability to determine if we're a good match. Your pet’s happiness is my priority. Please include trip dates, pet photos, the type of cats or dog(s), ages, your location/neighborhood, any unique care requirements. I am responsible, trustworthy, dependable, and resourceful, able to handle any issues that may arise with your pets or home. I connect deeply with both cats and dogs—I'm often referred to as a "cat whisperer." Kindly confirm your home is non-smoking and clutter-free. I serve: West Seattle, Edmonds and Lacey/Olympia. or areas within 15-minute of the Puget Sound to swim in away from city. Thanks, 😻 Donna, Overnight Pet Sitter

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 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!

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 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.
