House Sitting • Dec 31, 2025

Doraelia is an absolute lifesaver! We were in a pinch over the holidays and needed someone to watch our cat, Yuki, and our dog, Echo. Doraelia stepped in and did an amazing job. Not only did they stay on top of a strict medication schedule for both pets, but they also made sure Echo got her daily walks and both animals received plenty of playtime and attention. It was so clear that Yuki and Echo were happy and well-cared for as Doraelia sent photos regularly. We can't thank Doraelia enough and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy pet sitter!

Doraelia is a gem, very thoughtful and attentive to my pets. I received frequent photo updates, she kept in great communication, and made sure to get all my emergency contacts and vet info. She even taught my Dog a new trick! Her own dog is a total sweetheart and bonded with my cat. Will use again.

Doraelia has been a lifesaver. Literally. I run a small adoption/end of life foster organization and Doraelia has taken on pets that would have died in the shelter otherwise. I can only speak to what she has taken care of and that’s mostly been very elderly dogs , some with injuries and most on medication. Many were meant to be end of life care but ended up adopted because they recovered. She also helps house dogs temporarily until transit. I would rec 100% to anyone looking to hire her.

Schedule

I’m a teacher so I have the holidays off and I felt like people could definitely use sitters during that time! I do have my 13 yr old service dog who needs to be with me. She’s extremely Docile and loves kittens. She’s rescued many and opossums too. She is a therapy dog used to reintroduce foster and stays back to house living.

Safety, trust & environment

I can crate as needed, give plenty walks and meds. I also love a mean session of fetch. I’ve raised aussies so I know how to tire out even the best of them lol. My dog and I live on the Riverwalk, she’s 13 so we do many walks on the river. Her fetch season is behind her but she was truly an acrobatic star.

Pets

A typical day

I love to play a bunch of games w dogs (some I invented myself), play fetch, go to a big park, take scenic walks, and lots of cuddles (if the pet should want). I’ve raised Australian shepherds so I am pretty decent at behavior training lol.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or medication. Their preferences, how their mental stimulation toys work, where the food is, how often they should get exercise and for how long. Any habits or routines or quirks!
