Doaa is an amazing holistic dog trainer who has helped us with our 1 year old Aussiedoodle. After being neutered, our dog had a lot of reactions to humans and other dogs, so we were very worried. Doaa took the time to explain to us what it would take to help our dog become more comfortable and better behaved. She gave us valuable insight and guidance on how to be compassionate and understanding dog owners.

With Doaa’s help, our dog has made tremendous progress. He can now interact with humans and dogs and we know how to move forward to continue progressing his training. We are so grateful for Doaa and her expertise. She is kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable in the field of holistic dog training.

We highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their dog’s training. She is an incredible trainer who made a huge difference in our lives!

Doaa helped me understand the underlying issue of my cat. My baby Luna became extremely anxious after a traumatic pigeon encounter so I took her to the vet numerous times and they kept giving her injections but it only helped short term and she would return to her stressed and anxious self.
I felt stuck so I reached out to Doaa for help and she really listened to my concern and was able to help me understand WHY my cat was so stressed and HOW to help improve the situation. She was able to provide continuous support at any time and answered any questions or concerns.
I highly recommend Doaa to help with your pet needs! Thank you so much for helping us!! Luna and Simba appreciate you so much!

Our pups love Doaa! They get so excited when she comes. Since working with her, they have gained so much confidence and are much more social with other dogs and people – she really has helped enrich their lives! She really took the time to build a relationship with both of them, even when one started off quite timid with her – now they are best friends.

The dogs are also a pleasure to walk for us now, which wasn’t always the case with two enthusiastic young puppies.

We are first-time cat owners, to a 3 y/o female feline rescue, Cocoa. Doaa has been a part of our journey since we first consulted her earlier this year, which was especially valuable, given that there was no previous history that came with Cocoa.

Doaa is a fast observer, and understands cats in ways that my husband and I can’t even process. At the initial consult, she came to quickly understand Cocoa’s disposition, and really understood how to 1) solve her litter box issues, 2) catify the home, and 3) build feline confidence – paired with actual, actionable advice with lots of different product suggestions. Doaa is a must-have contact / educator / support for first-time (or really anyone looking to understand their pets further!) owners.

THANK YOU DOAA!

Our experience with Doaa and how she completely changed our little kitty’s life and ours was remarkable!

Our kitty was brought over from Bali 7 years ago, and over the years had grown very anxious. He would wake up up screaming and meowing through the night EVERY SINGLE NIGHT for the last 7 years. We finally got him on some medication that would sometimes help, but our issue was fixed. I came across Doaa online and at this point being desperate was willing to try anything and everything.

After 2 months of working with her, and cat is completely off his medication, and sleeps through the night EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! It’s a miracle. Doaa is a true miracle, and knows cats inside and out and knew exactly what his issue was. We toughed out the process, along the way with some doubts that we would ever get sleep, but she encouraged us to stay strong and stick with it. We give Doaa a million stars, highly recommend!

I’m so glad we happened to meet Doaa while she was walk-training another dog. She masterfully handled my dog and the one she was training, and so I asked, “Are you a dog trainer?”
Since then, she’s been working with our rescue pup and helping to unlock her full potential. Doaa is a natural with animals, and is also great at listening to pup-parents needs. Definitely would recommend!

Doaa is so so helpful with our one eyed cat. We were having issues with her biting at our hands and Doaa gave us all the tips and tricks after visiting her. You can tell Doaa is a super caring pet owner and that transcends into caring about not only her own animals but yours as well. Highly recommend her services as she is very well informed and responsive.

Besides that she’s always available for advices or to answer question at any time. She really has the well-being of the pets as her first interest and she provides an excellent service.
Our cats love her!!! We surely recommend her!

Doaa is so wonderful with our pup! She’s helped us with training, and walks since he was a puppy. She was a great help when our pup was in a cast after surgery and during rehab.

Out of nowhere my 1.5 year-old indoor, social, attention loving cat suddenly started peeing on my bed. I tried everything: vet, urine test, antibiotics, change diet, feliaway, move the litter box, change the litter. Nothing worked!

After googling for a while I stumbled across Doaa’s website. She immediately understood my cat’s personality, investigated the home and made a whole bunch of notes for me with suggestions—that through all of my research had never come up. I was thrilled to have a game plan.

It took some time but we’re finally able to nail down why she was peeing on the bed.

Now it’s incredibly rare that she’ll pee on the bed and when she does I know exactly what I did to insight her wrath.

We’ve even started car training which has been going swimmingly due to my cats curious and outgoing nature.

Whenever I tell people about Doaa I always refer to her as my cat’s “therapist” because that’s what she was, she was acting as the interpreter by advising me on how my cat was feeling. Even though we solved the peeing issue she has continued to give me valuable advice on how to approach other potential situations.

Through all of this Doaa was incredibly accommodating to us and was always available via text when I had questions or concerns or even just proud little videos I could send. I can’t recommend her enough, especially if your pet is medically fine.

Doaa has been really helpful in our cat introduction process. She understands cats so well, we immediately saw improvements in their general mood and relationship. Everytime we met she was able to find out what the issue might be and suggest changes accordingly. We are very grateful to have found her.

Doaa is very genuine and warm and seems like our puppy had a realllly good time with her. She showered us with loads and loads of handy tips and tricks. Absolutely recommended. Thank you Doaa!

Namisha

★★★★★

I cannot express enough how much I recommend Doaa for cat-to-cat introductions. We were struggling for months introducing our new cat to our resident cat and, with Doaa’s help, feel better than ever about their relationship.

Doaa provides exceptional service and is available via text whenever we have a question or challenge. I can tell Doaa loves our cats SO much and I am very confident in her knowledge as a cat expert and trainer.

I am so glad that we found Doaa. Thank you!!!

Doaa is the best trainer you can think of for your pet. She genuinely cared so much about us, our cat and our dog. I have never met anyone who loves animals that much. She gave us valuable, detailed and useful tips on how to improve our walks with our dog. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you for everything, Doaa.

Doaa is amazing. She absolutely loves animals and she always has their best interest at heart. She does her best to help you relate better with your animal so it can help it lives its best life. She helped me with my bored cat and made my home more cat friendly.

Leah

Doaa was AMAZING!! From the very thorough initial consultation to the consistent check-ins afterward, it was clear that she really cared about my cat. She gave great recommendations in a way that was easy to understand and follow. My cat’s litter box issues are solved and she is relaxed and happy! Thanks Doaa!!

Lexy

★★★★★

My cat LOVES Doaa from the first interaction itself. She is so good with him and my cat does not miss me at all when he is with her! She is the BEST when it comes to taking care of my cat and I cannot thank her enough. She goes above and beyond to make sure that my cat is doing well in my absence.

Doaa is very punctual, reliable, passionate and caring towards cats. She also has given me several tips about what food is healthy for my cat.

Doaa was amazing with our cat, Izzy. From the initial consultation to the very last day, Doaa was extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and it was obvious that she cared deeply about animal welfare. 10/10 experience

Doaa is warm, affectionate, and totally responsible. She took such excellent and loving care of our three kitties: one was senior and diabetic (needing daily insulin shots), another has issues that need special food, so every meal time meant two special foods and making sure that the right cat ate the right one! Very grateful to Doaa for taking care of every detail.

I felt very comfortable and comforted leaving my home and my cat Max with Doaa knowing she would care for him and our home as they were her own. Doaa is very caring and respectful and places the safety and well-being of your pet first. And she genuinely loves animals. I highly recommend Doaa’s pet sitting services to anyone.

We have used Doaa’s services a few times now, both for walking and dog visits and we only have superlatives to say about her. In short, she has been amazing. Our rescue Pip is reactive and nervous around new dogs and people. But it took her next to no time to warm up to Doaa, and already on her second visit Pip couldn’t be more pleased to see Doaa. Having a nervous dog you also get a bit nervous as a dog parent when having your dog meeting a new sitter/walker and whether or not they will be able to understand your dogs needs fully. No worries at all with Doaa, not just being a genuine dog lover, she also has a lot of knowledge and experience with dogs who need a bit more attention, focusing on positive reinforcement. We feel fully relaxed and confident in Doaa’s abilities in taking care of our dog and would warmly recommend her.

I don’t think I could say enough nice things about Doaa. From our first meeting, she was incredibly affectionate and attentive with our 3 cats, and they absolutely responded in kind. They loved having her as a cat sitter. She was very adept at dealing with our special needs cat (one of our cats is asthmatic and has triaditis and needs a lot of attention), and was communicative with us, keeping us posted on all developments and sending us pictures to let us know how they were doing.

Merannda & Mike,

★★★★★

Doaa’s care, love, and responsibility for my 2 dogs far exceeded our expectations! My dogs are not the easiest as the Chihuahua is tiny, age 14 with arthritis, and needs help with stairs etc., and the bigger dog is a rescue with fear-based behavioural issues, but Doaa comforted, attended to their needs and loved my dogs as her own. She is very positive, knowledgeable, and skilled with calming and training– she gave me several tips. She gave them their meds, walked and played with them.
We exchanged texts, and Doaa sent photos- I could see that my dogs felt safe and happy.
We highly recommend Doaa!

Elaine,

★★★★★

Doaa was very a very cheerful and engaged sitter. She cares a lot about animals and cats and had a good energy. She was responsive and easy to communicate with. Monkey was calm and relaxed when I got back as she had gotten lots of cuddles from Doaa. I would request Doaa again in the future.

Laura,

★★★★★

Doaa went above and beyond to make our dogs happy and comfortable when we were away She always kept in touch, sending multiple updates every day. Thanks for everything Doaa!

Tatiana,

★★★★★

I have never left my 12 year old dog (who is more like my child) with someone she didn’t know as she’s a bit of a funny character and can get mopey when I go away. However, I am living in a new city where I don’t have the same options that I once did. Doaa took excellent care of my girl and was very interested to know everything about her in our visits prior to my trip. Unexpectedly, I had to take my pup to the vet hours before I flew out, which resulted her needing extra care while I was away and Doaa exceeded all of her needs and calmed my anxieties with multiple updates each day. I have already booked her to come back!

Jamie,

★★★★★

Doaa was a patient and loving pet-sitter for our little dog, Willow. She was able to take some time to get to know her before the sit and had the patience to work though Willow’s protective and nervous tendencies. Before long, Doaa had gained her trust and they became fast friends. We received many photos and updates while we were gone and trusted Doaa to make Willow as comfortable as possible. She contacted us immediately after Willow had a minor health issue and we resolved it together. The house was left as if no one had been there! Doaa was very clean and respectful of our space. 

Cindy,

★★★★★

Doaa is an absolute gem! I had to leave town quite suddenly for a funeral and Doaa found a way to make it work. She came a day ahead to pick up the keys and meet our cats, Chuck and Char and it was clear within minutes that things would be great. Chuck, Char’s big brother, can be aloof with strangers and usually takes a while to warm up to people. But Doaa won him over in minutes. While I was gone she sent pictures and kept me informed. When I returned the cats were happy and the house was shiny and clean. 

Billie,

★★★★★

Doaa was incredible! She watched my cat and my very senior dog (who has quite a few issues) for two weeks, and I have nothing but amazing things to say about my experience with Doaa! She was great to communicate with, sending me loads of pictures of my babies while I was gone. She bought them some treats and just spoiled them rotten! Thanks Doaa!!

Jessica

★★★★★

Doaa was absolutely wonderful! Our Diesel was so well cared for. Doaa sent us regular updates and photos because she knew we missed him so much. Doaa is a lovely, trustworthy sitter and we can’t recommend her highly enough.

Doaa was amazing with our baby! She was very attentive and always watched for his best needs! We would definitely have her back and our Onyx absolutely loved her!
