About Me
I'm Donna, great to meet you!
My name is Donna, I am a semi-retired 64 year old counselor (video counseling) & I also do some writing, as well being a marriage officiant.
I love animals, love to experience new cultures and nature. I have travelled internationally a fair bit, have lived in different cultures. I have lived in NYC for 28 years, moved to Tampa, Florida for 6 years and most recently moved to Ubud, Indonesia.
I have done numerous house sitting/pet sitting situations in the U.S. and internationally and am registered on 4 pet sitting sites which I have references that I can provide. I have always had pets and fostered several pets as well. To know a bit more about me, check out the 5 reasons "Why Me" section of the site. Thank you for your consideration. Looking forward to being of service to you!

Victoria
I can not recommend Donna highly enough. She was always quick to respond, provided great updates on the pets and home and left the house SPOTLESS. She is great with animals, very attentive and made sure everyone felt comfortable and was well cared for. I returned to 3 happy and healthy pets and an apartment exactly as I had left it. Thank you Donna!
Alicia
Donna was absolutely amazing. She was extremely loving with my dogs and chickens. Donna was very considerate and respectful of our house and belongings. She brought absolutely everything she was going to eat or need during her week-long stay at my house. She left the house cleaner than it was when she got here. She is very organized. She had a list of all the things we needed to discuss before I left to make sure she took care of everything. She kept me informed of how the pets were doing while we were away and took pictures. The dogs were so happy to have her around. I honestly have nothing negative to say. She was a delight to have and hope to use her again in the upcoming future.
Homeowner in Jupiter
Donna house/pet sit for our two Dobermans, which are trained guard dogs and she was our estate manager for the two months that she stayed. I have a very large property with a lot of security and at the same time a lot of deliveries and constant maintenance to oversee. Donna balanced the work times of all of the incoming workers as well as inspected their work. She oversaw the maintenance of the pool and garden as well. Donna quickly learned in my short tutorial, how to work with guard dogs that are pets, which is a bit different than pets only. She bathed them, walked them and played with them daily, as well as kept up their training. And it was obvious when we returned, they loved her. Donna was also extremely respectful of our privacy, discreetly handling some sensitive issues as well as unannounced visitors. We returned to a clean & orderly home. I recommended her to several of my colleagues and will use her the very next time we take a trip. I cannot say enough positives about her.
