We moved to the Westside and were in need of someone to walk and care for our 11-year old French Bulldog. I came across Paws Up Playa and could tell from the website that Donna was special. We scheduled to meet so she could introduce herself to us and our pup, Nilla. Right away she took a liking for her. Donna's passion and knowledge for dogs really shined through! Our meeting and conversation reassured us that Donna was loving and trustworthy and that safety was her #1 priority. Since then, they have become great friends and Nilla loves going on walks with her. She is flexible and communicative. The best part are all of the "pupdates" we receive. She keeps us constantly updated with pictures and stories from their adventures - they're a real hoot! We highly recommend Paws Up Playa. Thank you, Donna for caring for our PUP! read more

I highly recommend Paws up Playa for anyone looking for dogwalking in the area. Donna took great care of our dog Kirby when a last minute business trip popped up and I am relieved to know we have such a wonderful caretaker in the neighborhood. Thanks, Donna! read more

Donna is a true dog lover and she was very attentive and caring toward my little dog, Zoe. Donna took the time to do a meet/greet prior to boarding Zoe for the night to ensure Zoe and her dogs got along, which shows her level of care for the animals she sits for. Donna was communicative with me throughout Zoe's stay and sent (very cute) photos that ensured Zoe was doing well and comfortable. I recommend Paws up Playa as a reliable and trusted source to care for your dog when needed. read more

What can I say? My dogs are my fur children and I wouldn't leave them in the hands of anyone who didn't love them as much as I do. Donna is wonderful. She has walked them but has boarded them for up to 2 weeks with pleasure. My dogs were happy, safe and they always want to see her again. I highly recommend Paws Up Playa. Donna will care for your fur babies like they're her own. read more

Highly recommend Donna as a cat sitter--she recently took care of my two one-year-old cats for a week and it couldn't have gone better. I was nervous about leaving them for the first time but felt much more relaxed after seeing Donna interact with them during our initial meeting, and so reassured by the photos she sent from each visit. She maintained their daily routine (including playtime!) really well and when I got back they looked healthy and calm. Communication was great throughout. Will definitely be calling her again! read more

Donna has been great for our dogs, Ralphie and Coconut. They both have very different personalities and needs, as Ralphie is a senior English Bulldog and Coconut is an energetic and loving 1.5 yr old puppy. I travel a lot for work and Donna has always been very accommodating when it comes to picking up my pups, dropping them off and making me feel at ease that my pups are happy, well taken care of and in good hands. I love that she sends pictures or videos throughout their stay and provides updates when I miss them. I also love that when I come home after a trip Ralphie and Coconut are happy and content and I know they enjoyed their time while Donna was watching them. She treats my dogs as her own and I am so thankful I have found a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter in Playa del Rey! Paws Up Playa is Ralphie and Coconut approved! read more

I was to start my new job in just a few days and I was having no success finding a walker for my blind dog,Tiffany. It was fate when I met Donna walking her own dogs. During our conversation she asked if I ever needed someone to walk her and I shouted "YES! Do you have experience with blind dogs?" She said "Yes." We set up a time for her to meet Tiffany and its been a lovely partnership since. Thank you Donna for having patience with our slow walking barking girl. I appreciate your love for all animals especially our dogs. read more

We lucked out finding Donna! We have relied on Donna ever since our dog was a puppy. Even before he was fully vaccinated and able to go outside, Donna would come over and spend time with the lil man, socializing and helping him form his sweet demeanor. Now, he looks forward to seeing Donna every day she comes by to walk him. When she is out with other dogs or just driving by, he's got an eye for her and immediately needs to get to her. He adores Donna. Rightfully so, we do too! read more

Donna is hands down the most professional and compassionate dog walker in Playa Del Rey. We first met Donna after our beloved dog walker gave us the news that she was relocating and we were in need of someone new. Donna approaches dog walking and dog sitting with a level of care that I have never seen firsthand. When I say that Donna loves animals, she truly loves animals. Donna will go out of her way to make sure that your dog is cared for above and beyond your expectations. Donna was flexible with our schedule and continues to be. Rosie looks forward to walking with Donna every day, which has been a struggle in the past. Donna also has extensive knowledge of animals with disabilities and other medical needs. When Rosie is in Donna's care, we know that she couldn't be in better hands. Donna is trustworthy and respects the confidentiality and privacy of her clients. Would I recommend Donna? Yes! You'd be a fool not to give her a call. Donna will love your pup just as if they were her own! read more

Donna was so wonderful for our dog Charlie. He is a little timid, shy, and definitely slow moving. Donna was patient with him every step of the way. She took the time to get to know him and know his pace before going forward. He even warmed up to her quickly! It was such a relief to know that she would be with him when we were gone for long hours. We recently moved out of the county and I know Charlie misses her care! Donna was always very accommodating and willing to step in whenever we needed her to come see Charlie. I highly recommend her to care for your pup! read more
