Pet care experience

your furry will not lack love ❤️

I will care for your puppy with a lot of love and respect, and I can follow your step-by-step instructions on how to care for your furry family member. I am loving, caring, fun, and very hygienic. I also offer grooming services with relaxing pet massages. I am confident that if you trust me with your furry, they will want to come back and be part of our home and daily activities. I have 10 years of experience caring for pets, during which I have learned to truly love them. I believe that pets are guardians of the human heart. Their purpose is to bring joy and love to those who welcome them and make them part of their family.

Dorcas and her husband were amazing. We had a last minute cancellation with another sitter and Dorcas was extremely friendly, welcoming, and willing to help us last minute! Communication was great and we received lots of updates and photos/videos of Connie's stay... And she only stayed one night! We would love to use Dorcas again in the future. Thank you for saving our family trip!!

Couldn't have asked for a better sitter to take care of my furr baby! Dorcas is so sweet & patient. Did not hesitate to care for my female husky considering that my dog needs to be given medication twice a day. She would send updates on the daily with pictures & my furr baby looked so happy. Definitely a huge relief that she was in good hands. Will forever book Dorcas as long as I need to. (:

Dorcas is amazing. She’s watched Mookie a few times now. I love that Mookie is happy to stay when we need to leave her. She communicates well and takes her out for multiple walks a day. I love the pictures and updates.

I had a super last minute work trip this week and I'm so glad Dorcas was available. She pet sat for both of my pets this time and took amazing care of them. She gave multiple updates each day and sent a lot of pictures which I always appreciate 😊

My schedule is flexible from Monday to Sunday. At the moment I'm at home all week and willing to take care of and have fun with your furry. Plenty of places to go out for walks with our family and plenty of snuggles to receive from our kiddos.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a lovely home with a small but beautiful garden where pets can relax and enjoy fresh air. I’m located right in the heart of Riverside, a great area for daily walks and neighborhood strolls, and I love taking cute photos along the way. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so your furry friend will receive my full attention, care, and love at all times.

A typical day

I love seeing the furry happy, so I will try to make their stay with me will be fun and pleasant, Our day starts with a morning walk to stretch our legs out and allow them to do their duties outside. After getting the kids ready for school, we will have some breakfast time typically inside due to the heat. Then some rest time. We will have an afternoon walk and play time after lunch. After the kids and hubby come home from school and work, we got out for a family walk to get some ice cream and wind down the day. One final walk after dinner to enjoy the fresh air before calling it a day. We do have a kennel if your furry prefers to sleep outside but we typically leave them inside for the night.
