I am happily retired and love animals. My husband and I were pet owners to a beautiful spunky, honey-colored Pomeranian, named Daisy. Sadly she passed away in 2021 after 13 beautiful years together. I haven't replaced her since. I dog/pet sit for my friends' dogs on occasion. Pet sitting helps fill the void of my Daisy and I would like to do it more for those that may need it. My friends and family entrust me with their pets because they know I will care for them as my own. When I dog sit, I give them attention, play with them, and take them on walks. If I'm not taking them for a walk around the neighborhood or the local park, I have a backyard for them to handle their immediate business.

Information Dora R. would like to know about your pet

Please do let me know if you have any requests or your dog has any special requirements that will make their stay and both of our experiences more seamless.

A typical day

When your dog stays at my home, they will not only receive the normal essentials like food and multiple outings for them to handle their business. They will also get walks because that also doubles as exercise for both of us. If they have toys, I will also play with them, scratch their backs and give them a good 'ole belly rub. Most importanty, I give them attention.

Pet care experience

I care for pets like my own. I go above and beyond and make sure they are clean and happy. I love taking the dogs I care for on long walks and I also enjoy playing with them, and giving them attention through a good 'ole fashioned belly rub.

Dora was wonderful to work with! She took great care of my dog Sassy, feeding her dinner and taking her for a walk on the days I needed to work late. She was very responsive to my messages and sent pictures of the walks. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet. Thanks Dora!

Are Jack Russell dog spent an overnight with Dora this weekend and we were very pleased with how it went. Dora was very focused on Albie’s needs and making him feel comfortable and happy when he was with her. She played with him took him for walks, comforted him when he couldn’t settle at night and overall the whole experience was wonderful.
