Pet care experience

I am a dog foster parent and volunteer with a local animal rescue, Rescue City. I specialize in caring for all aged dogs including senior and special needs pets. I provide gentle care for dogs that are deaf, blind, has incontinence, arthritis, mobility issues, etc. I've cared for pets since I was a child. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets. Currently, I work from home and can appreciate some outside time every few hours. I reside in an apartment that has plenty of space for your fur-baby. I am always responsible and cautious when pets are in my care.

Dorena Is so kind and careful with my dog who was not feeling his best. Communication was awesome and I could be calm leaving him with her for a day and a half. Thank you!

Another great visit. Cenzo and Daisy did really well together! Doreena, as always, is so lovely and kind. I love how I don't need to worry about my dog when I leave him with her. 🙂

Dorena is so kind and sweet with our dog and us! We really appreciate how nice it is to have her care for our nervous little guy.

Dorena was great. My dog can be slow to warm up to strangers but Dorena was able to win her over. Walked her at the time we had scheduled. I will be using her going forward.
