Dog loving graduate student

Pet care experience

I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember and had them since I was six. Though I have mostly had big dogs, my sisters and people close to me have had small and medium size dogs and I love them all the same. I have had both anxious rescue pups and pure breds. People know me as someone who is trustworthy and reliable for my love and care for dogs. From puppies to old age, I have cared for my dogs at every stage of life and know how to adapt to what they need. I volunteered for years at a dog sanctuary, walking and rehabilitating dogs that were not yet up for adoption due to behavioral or medical issues but needed care prior to the adoption process. I currently live in New York City with a roommate who is allergic to dogs so I unfortunately cannot have my golden retriever Belle live with me - she lives at home in CT with my family. I would absolutely love the opportunity to interact and play with any dog in need of exercise, love and care.

My 1 year old pup warmed up to Dora right away- she was very warm and attentive to all of her needs. Dora is very punctual and really cares for dogs- I could tell my pup was super happy after her drop ins and excited to see her. I’ll definitely reach out to Dora again and would highly recommend her!

I highly recommend Dora to care for your dog. I have a very anxious small rescue dog. She doesn't do well boarding or traveling or with any dog walkers (and I have tried many) until I found Dora. Dora was very patient with her and didn't come on too strong. She now trusts her and is excited to see her. She administers her medication (anti anxiety) when I am away and takes her for walks. Is is apparent Dora loves dogs and is a "dog person". She realized that my little one is not just a pet but my family.

Hire Dora now! She is a true dog lover-she sees the best in your pooch even when they are imperfect like mine. She is a extremely reliable and caring person and can follow the most complex of instructions. She is a great find!

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with crating dogs of all ages; puppies to big, adult labs, so I can absolutely take out/ put in any size dog. I also have experience with harnesses of all kinds, so am able to put them on if need be for walks. I am always aware of what types of things they can get into (food, supplies, chemicals, etc.) so I definitely keep a close eye when they roam free. Any restrictions you tell me about toys or bones I can absolutely be sure to follow, as well.

Information Dora M. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know what things your dog loves (toys, walks, blankets, treats) and what to avoid with your dog (other dogs, people, noises, etc.). Also, if your dog requires any special medicine or any specific way I should approach them, that would be great to know prior!

A typical day

I love both walks and playing with dogs. Whether it be with their favorite ball or stuffed toy, I get so much joy out of what makes them happy. I’d love to hear from you what kinds of things they like to see on walks or play with; for instance, I know my dog loves to stop and look at fountains on walks.
