Highlights
Pet care experience
Love for all doggos & cattos!
I've been taking care of dogs of all shapes and sizes for the last 10 years. From small puppies still needing potty training, to senior guys grey around the snout who need meds and very gentle affection, and everything in between, I'm here to give your doggo the type of love and attention they need!

Safety, trust & environment
Every fur baby has their own unique needs, and I believe it's important to meet those. Beyond caring for the necessities of food, water, and potty breaks/litter cleaning, I like to meet the energy and affection levels of your pet. Some pets want non-stop action, and it's great to take them on walks or have at-home playtime, and some pets just want to snuggle, and that's great, too. Realistically, almost everyone will fall somewhere in the middle, and finding that balance is what I'm there for.
Ratings and reviews
Dora is so sweet and so wonderful with our dog Goldie. Goldie is typically very sensitive to new people but warmed up to Dora so quickly. Dora was so communicative and sent me lots of updates. She took amazing care of Goldie and truly can’t recommend her enough!
Dora was great. Communicated well, gave me consistent updates, and took great care of our pup.
Dora was absolutely AMAZING. She was communicative, consistent and went the extra mile to make sure my very young little boy had all the attention and care in the world. She is very reliable and also kept a close eye on my pup when he had some tummy problems. Could not recommend Dora enough!
I have known Dora for 8 years and have seen firsthand, as she expertly took care of her own and other people’s pets. One of the things that we connected over instantly, was our shared love for animals. Dora cares deeply about animals and their wellbeing, is very experienced with pets and is a consistent and reliable professional. One of Dora’s best qualities is intuitively knowing and anticipating what an animal and wants, needs or specifically does not want in any given situation. I have personally experienced the positive impact her calm presence has on the animals around her and how they are naturally drawn towards her and feel safe with her.
Dora is wonderful with both cats and dogs! She has an incredible love for animals and treats them with genuine care. My cat isn't the best at playing, and Dora puts in the extra effort to make sure he gets the exercise and stimulation he needs. The very first time my cat met her, he instantly curled up in her lap, which he rarely does when meeting new people. Dora consistently goes above and beyond to ensure pets are well cared for, and loves taking and sending pictures!
Dora has been an excellent pet sitter for our three kitties on multiple occasions. She is responsible, communicative, and clearly enthusiastic about hanging out with our furbabies. Throughout every pet visit we get frequent updates and pictures to reassure us that everything is going well. Two of our three pets require medicine - one takes an inhaler twice a day and the other gets liquid medicine. Dora has been confident and successful in administering all of these. We have seen Dora with our cats in person since she first pet-sat for us and it's clear that the animals remember and like her a lot. They run up for pets and snuggles.

Schedule
I currently have an extremely flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time throughout the day to give pets all the food, scritches, playtime, walks, and potty breaks they could need.
