Pet care experience

PET PRO with LOTS of love

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 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.
