Dolores was great with my aging dog (who has since passed) and my kitty. Feeding, walking, giving medicine... She is a kind and caring person.
Dolores is my number one go to for pet sitting. she loves and takes care of my three dogs as if they were her own. Her love for all pets is apparent. She often shares cute animal stories about other furry clients of hers. Upon returning from a particularly long trip, I was so happy to find my pups calm, happy, well cared for and no accidents! When I can't bring them along on vacations ...
I’ve known Delores for a long time and she has taken care of my dog and cat several times while I’m out of town. She has always been conscientious and caring to them.

What Dolores would like to know about your dog
I like to know what might frighten them so I don't do it and be prepared to comfort the dog when needed (during loud thunder and lightning storms, 4th of July, etc.) I like to know if the dog is a rescue and may have trust issues with females based on a past bad experience. I like to know what foods are okay to give the dog.

When Dolores watches your pet
I pay attention to your animals when you can't. I talk to them, sing to them, play with them using their toys and take them out for walks and potty time. I usually walk in the neighborhood the dog lives in, if possible, unless the owner has a different preference. I want the dog walk in familiar places so he/she feels safe.
