Safety, trust & environment

I do have a fenced in yard, but my dogs are trained even without the fence we have crates, but they free roam in and out of their crates. My rescue ferrets have a room of their own, but enjoy six hours+ of family time and playtime with us outside of the room.

Information Doreen S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your animal has any special needs or concerns. Also if you have any special requests, i am available for small animals

A typical day

My dogs enjoy walks, ball playing, sensory games and lick mats. I also do make a huge portion on their food by scratch. I also am able to care for small animals such as rabbits, ferrets ect.

Pet care experience

I have rescued over five dogs, four cats and 12 ferrets at the height of our ferret rescue. I am a hospice volunteer and also volunteer at our local Seniors center which has taught me compassion and patience. as a small business owner, I understand the importance of reliability, dependability, and a commitment. I love all animals with all my heart and are comfortable with small animals including ferrets rodents and reptiles. Also, of course dogs and cats too. I will love your pet as if it is mine with all my heart. I would feel blessed and honored to have an opportunity to provide comfort while you are away💜

She takes great care of my kitties with their individual needs and is incredibly kind and friendly! I'd recommend her in a heartbeat. She even helped me out with a last minute request due to unexpected travel and is really compassionate.

This is the first time we left Fiona with anyone. She is a rescue and has some aggression and trustissues. Dori sang to her every visit and knew just what to do to get Fiona to trust her. She came when she said she would and made sure Fiona was fed and went outside as she needed to be. Would use Dori !!

Doreen was an amazing sitter for Sadie! She updated me with a lot of pictures, videos, and description of her visit every day. She is very communicative and it’s obvious she loves animals. I’m so happy to have met her and completely trust her taking care of Sadie. 😊
