Pet care experience
I have five years of professional experience walking dogs and pet-sitting, in both the Washington D.C. area and Chicago As a college student, I worked during vacations for DogOn Fitness, based in Maryland, providing mostly overnight, in-home pet-sitting for dogs and cats. A few months after graduating in 2020, I became an employee at Waggy Walkys in nearby Washington DC, where I walked dogs for 25 hours each week and provided occasional cat-sitting. I spent fall, 2022 employed for Chicago Pet Sitters, one of the city's top-rated dog-walking and cat sitting company. I have cared for all types of dogs, young and old, little and big, and cats both social and shy. A professional writer and photographer, I strive to document my time with your pet in the highest quality possible.
Reviews
Dora was great and very communicative during her time watching Luna. She was considerate as well, offering to take out the the trash. I would definitely recommend her to others and will be using her again.
Dora is always so great to work with, and our sweet Sophie has such a lovely time with her!
We love Dora! She is always willing to help us out last minute if our pup needs a walk.
Dora was responsible and very communicative! She even came over before Blue’s first walk to meet us (and him) and make sure we felt comfortable with everything. Dora is trustworthy and reliable!
About Dora S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Before scheduling a walk or a walk-in visit, I highly encourage clients to schedule a brief meet-and-greet. This in-person appointment will allow your pet to become comfortable with me and give us the opportunity to discuss any special requests (avoiding other dogs, for example) that you may have.
Home
Information Dora S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know whether your dog gets along with people (including children) and other dogs. Sensitivity to heat and over-exertion are also good to know about — I don't want to tire your pup out too much!
A typical day
Expect lots of photo shoots :) I'm also a big fan of the great outdoors, so expect a lot of park excursions if you have a dog!
