Loving Certified Pet Sitter&Groomer

Pet care experience

In 2014 I earned certificates from Animal Behavior College in dog grooming and pet sitting. I have been trained in pet CPR and look forward to never having to use it! As a dog and cat owner, I know how important pets are to their owners. Your pets will be given the best care possible. I will ensure they are showered with love while getting the right amount of nourishment, exercise, playtime and potty breaks. I am available for pet sitting(dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, turtles and more), dog walking and light grooming(bath, trim nails, sanitary trim or to get the hair out of those expressive eyes). Please ask about discounts for multiple pets in the same home. I am a non-smoker and currently work for a telecommunications company for 18 years. My schedule can change weekly as my position is manned 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I enjoyed obtaining my certification in dog/cat grooming in 2014. While completing my externship at a very busy local grooming salon, I was able to work with different dog breeds of various ages, sizes and health. Why I love dog sitting I have always loved animals of all types. Growing up I have been Blessed to enjoy the company of guinea pigs, hermit crabs, fish (55 gallon salt water tank), turtles, and parakeets. Currently I have a maltese poodle named Bailey , an 8 year old cat named Yogi and two sugar gliders named Cookie and Rocky. Bailey and Yogi were both strays I adopted from the same shelter. They bring so much joy to my life and I love spending time with them. I also enjoy feeding the wildlife in my yard, especially through the harsh winter! My experience administering medication I would be happy to assure that your pet receives his or her medication on time and in the correct amount.

Doreen was terrific. She was intouch throughout our time away. Sending pictures and letting us know how things were going at home. She was very easy to work with and we will definitely continue to use her services moving forward. We would recommend her for sure.

Doreen is a wonderful, caring person. We felt 100% comfortable having her spend time with our new puppy and our senior dog. She showed them both the love and attention we would have and highly recommend working with Doreen!

Doreen was great! She researched my breed before she arrived. She was patient with Harley and made sure the dog was comfortable with her before she made any moves. She gets it and I am happy and comfortable having her walk Harley when available!

Doreen is a Life Saver! I have two dogs, Nikita(Kita) and Sam. Sam is very sensitive to people's energy and the first person I had scheduled to house sit (non-Rover person) didn't workout. Sam was hiding under the bed and growling and the person didn't feel comfortable staying. I was halfway across the country for Christmas vacation with the family. Doreen had watched Sam and Kita for a couple days once before. I reached out and she was able to go by the house to see if she could help Sam become comfortable with the house sitter to no avail. She was going away, so wasn't able to watch them, but she was also able to come again the next morning to meet with another Rover person to help the transition and it went great and I was able to continue my vacation in peace. Doreen really took ownership of the situation and made sure Sam and Kita were going to be OK. She has a wonderful peaceful warm energy and you can tell she really loves animals. If you want your pets to be loved and at peace, call Doreen. You'll be thankful you did.
