The Best Care for your Best Friend!

Pet care experience

I am 31 years old. I’ve worked for Rover for a few years now and love caring for animals. I've lived in Spencer MA for 5 years and live right next to a walking trail all my Rover dogs love to explore. I have experience with grooming, providing food and water, taking dogs out for walks and runs, taking dogs to vet appointments, administering medication, providing companionship, following owner instructions and giving lots of LOVE! At one point I cared for 20 dogs at once! #Puppy stampede! Ever since then, it hasn't been a challenge handling less than that! Growing up, I was raised with caring for animals. I've lived on a farm for many years raising, chickens, horses, dogs, turkeys, and rabbits. I am consistent, clean, punctual, passionate and reliable. I have also volunteered in an animal shelter for a few years as well! And am flexible to be available during the holidays if need be! I am a full time student 👩‍🎓 pursing a business degree. This is my second year! I attend school Tuesday and Thursdays until 1:30 PM other than that I’m free! I am a very active person who loves the outdoors. I pay attention to details and try to make them feel most comfortable depending on each animals needs and routine.

Very friendly person. Unfortunately supervision was not strong enough during his visit.

Great first time visit. Received updates throughout the day. He was able to play & interact with other dogs during his stay.

Doretta was amazing with my two dogs. She really treated them like family and took excellent care of them during the holidays. I loved receiving pictures of them throughout the stay and I'd definitely book again with her!

The first time we went to meet Doretta, she was 15 minutes late to get to her house. The first stay that our dog had with her went well though, nothing out of the ordinary. We got pictures and a full report of how he did during his stay. This last time was different. She was ten minutes late to drop off, she arrived with her own new puppy which we knew about, but then things went silent. We received no updates, no pictures, no communication at all until the day of pickup, and even then we didn't know for sure if she would be there for pickup. Multiple multiple unanswered texts qnd phone calls later. Doretta was 30 minutes late to pickup, looked completely exhausted and a mess, and arrived with both her dog and our dog in the same crate in her front passenger seat. Where would she have had to go that she needed the crate? Did she spend the night at someone else's house and not tell us? When I got our dog home, I brought his crate inside and noticed dried dog poop in his bed. This had to have happened in her care because I washed his bed before bringing him to stay with Doretta. Was it her new puppy from being in the same crate as our dog? If it was our dog, then he must have been in there for over 12 hours because he's NEVER urinated or pooped in his crate.

Information Doretta S. would like to know about your pet

The more details the better! I like to get an idea of their daily routines. What they like or don’t like and if they have any triggers. Safety is really important as well as a happy pet!

A typical day

Trail walks and dog parks are my favorite places to go with my furry friends ? however, I love to cuddle up with them and watch a movie on rainy days too ☔️ You can never give too much love!
