Information Doria J. would like to know about your pet

I love keeping pets active, engaged, and happy. Depending on their personality and energy level, activities may include walks around the neighborhood, backyard playtime, fetch, tug-of-war, enrichment games, basic training reinforcement, cuddle time, and plenty of one-on-one attention. My goal is to make sure every pet feels loved, stimulated, and comfortable while creating a fun experience tailored to their individual needs.

A typical day

Since I work from home. A typical day in my care includes plenty of love, attention, exercise, and supervision. Pets will enjoy morning potty breaks and walks, regular feeding schedules, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of affection throughout the day. I work hard to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their family is away. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel connected and reassured.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to providing updates and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

Doria did an amazing job caring for my pets! She was responsible, attentive, and genuinely loving toward them. I could tell she treated them like her own. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. I would highly recommend Doria to any pet owner looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter

Sure — here’s a warm, genuine testimonial you could submit for your sister Doria on Rover⁠: Doria is one of the most caring, responsible, and trustworthy people I know. She has a natural love for animals and treats every pet with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. She’s attentive to details, dependable, and always makes sure those in her care feel safe and comfortable. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Doria caring for their dog, and I’m confident she would provide excellent service and loving care every time. If you want it to sound more personal / like a brother wrote it, you could use this version: As Doria’s brother, I’ve seen firsthand how caring, patient, and responsible she is. She has a big heart, especially when it comes to animals, and she naturally makes pets feel comfortable and loved. She’s dependable, trustworthy, and takes her responsibilities seriously. I have no doubt she’ll provide safe, loving care and treat every dog like family.

Doria is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. She loves dogs with all of her heart and is willing to go the extra mile for the care of her pets. She is and will be attentive and loving to your extended animal friends. She has been caring for dogs since she was a small girl and the love has only blossomed as she grew.
