Donna's Pet Sitting offers a great solution for your pet care needs when you go away on vacation or business. Instead of bringing your pet to a kennel, you can now leave them in the comfort and security of your own home without worrying about imposing on friends or neighbors.

I know your pets are as special to you as mine are to me and I know how hard it is to have to leave them behind when you go away. I can make this easier for you by providing lots of tender loving care in your absence.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science from the University of Massachusetts and I took the American Red Cross Pet First Aid Course. I worked for many years as a vet tech before starting Donna's Pet Sitting in 2002. I have been a resident of Ashburnham since 1986.

Service Area - Donna's Pet Sitting covers Ashburnham and a little bit of Westminster and Ashby. Please check my service map to make sure I cover your area.

Request Service - New clients can use my request form to set up an initial consult and current clients can use it to make reservations.

***SORRY BUT I AM NO LONGER DOING REGULAR WEEKLY MIDDAY DOG WALKS. (except for the ones I already have.) I am now concentrating on vacation pet care. Short term midday visits still welcome!

Pet Photography I am now offering pet photography. If I am sitting for your pets and you are interested in having their picture taken please just let me know. There is no extra charge. I often take photos anyway and will send you a link to see any photos taken. If I am not currently sitting for your pet but you would like them photographed please contact me. To check out my work please visit Donna Doherty Photography.

Donna's Pet Sitting will be closed the following dates:

I wil be having surgery April 25th and I will be out of work afterward for 4-6 weeks. Sorry.

June 22-23rd

I'm never available July 4th weekend.

August 3rd-12th

Most weekends from September to mid November 2013 I won't be available. My daughter plays rugby for her university and this will be her last year so I want to go to her games. Many of their away games will be far away so I'll be gone for the weekend. Home game weekends I might be available except for midday Sunday visits. The schedule does not come out until late summer so I won't know specifics until then.

Donna's Pet Sitting now has a page on Facebook and I will be posting current pet sitting photos there on occasion. If I've recently sat for your pet you might want to see if your pet is featured. Come check it out and see who I've been hanging out with!

Cancellations

Please be aware of my cancellation policy. 72 hours notice must be given for all cancellations or you will be charged for the visit. This applies to all visits except for regularly scheduled daily visits which must give cancellation notice by 7:30 a.m.

Please remember to make your reservations early! I only accept a very limited number of sits to ensure that each pet gets the care they deserve and I often get booked up. If you are a new client I need time to do an initial consultation before starting service. Thank you!

ALL pet sitting requests made with less than 48 hours notice will be charged an additional $5 per visit.
