I was worried about leaving my puppy alone for a full day when I was going to be gone for 12 hours, so I hired Dora to come over twice during the day for an hour each time to let the two dogs out into the back yard and interact with them. I left at 8 AM, and had scheduled Dora to come at 11. When I checked my kennel cam, the dogs were still in the kennel at 11:30, so I contacted her. She told me that she had mistakenly thought the end time (Noon) was the start time, but that she would go over right away. She arrived at 12:15, so the puppy was in the house without a break for more than four hours. At about 12:40, I checked the camera again, and they were both in the kennel alone. Dora was still at the house, I think (or came back), because when I texted her, the dogs were let out of the kennel again. She did stay the entire hour, and did send me pictures of her playing and petting the dogs, but I was a bit alarmed. She was willing to come later for the second scheduled visit of the day because of the late arrival for the morning visit. I payed her $30 per visit, and I guess I expected more.

Dora did a wonderful job dogsitting for a week at my home. My two dogs can be a handful, but Dora managed their quirks and and left my home in wonderful shape at the end of her stay. She communicates well and kept me informed daily. I highly recommend Dora. My dogs love her, and they behave better after her visits than before! I will continue to hire her in the future, and you should, too!
