I travel a lot, but if you give me enough notice for a long stay I can usually make it work. I do have an older female Basset hound who is very friendly that would need to come with me. I prefer longer stays (weekly or monthly) while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

In your home, I am happy to work with whatever rules you have. I don't mind going for walks or to the park if your dog is good in the car and with other pets. I need to bring Barney with me, she cant be left alone for long periods of time.

Information Doreen J. would like to know about your pet

It helps me to know if your pet is vaccinated so I know if its safe to let them meet other dogs on walks. Please let me know if your pet has bad habits when I come tk the door (bolting, jumoing, batking). This way we can make a plan to help break the pattern.

A typical day

Throw balls, play tug-of-war, throw a frisbee, walks or runs. I love parks and trails. I love hiking and will take them swimming if they like it.

Pet care experience

I have trained dogs and horses since I was a teenager and bred Basset Hounds for over 10 yrs. I love, and have worked with most breeds of dog, and am comfortable with giving shots, meds, and walking/working with hard-to-control pets. I love to snuggle and I personally walk about 10km/day. I have an 11-year-old female Basset named Barney that loves all dogs and cats and has helped me with training many times over the years..... including calming feral cats that I fostered. I love all new experiences, and can't wait to meet your pet.

Dee took great care of Bruce and my home. I'm thankful she brought Barney so they could play. She sent texts, pics, videos of their time together and made sure he got his medication. Thank you!

Doreen was amazing! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and furry pal Barney. Barney and Bruce had a wonderful play date... Bruce was happy and sleepy all night. Thank you!
