Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced groomer, loves pets!
Hey there! My name is Dorian, and I would feel so honored to watch your pets. I know for a lot of you they're like your children, and it's so important that they get the love and care they deserve. As an animal mom myself, you can be sure that I will treat your pets just as well as I treat mine. I've been in the pet industry since I started volunteering at a grooming shop at 13 years old. This is the same pet grooming I work at now, 16 years later! I've also worked in two veternairy offices as a secretary, and trained to be a vet tech. Growing up my mother had her own in-home doggy (and cat) overnight and daycare business. I gained experience working with pets in-home by helping her grow her business and take care of the animals. Seeing animals in every facet (from grooming, to medical needs, to home care) has given me a unique perspective, which I will bring to my time with your pets. As you can see, animals have always been a big part of my life, and is something I'm very passionate about!

Safety, trust & environment
I always do my best to be communicative with owners and them know what's going on with their pet. I don't mind if you have cameras in your home, I would just appreciate a heads up about it. I follow written directions very well, especially for an overnighter. Whatever it is that makes you feel most safe and secure while I'm taking care of your pet, I'd love to discuss!
Ratings and reviews
Dorian was great! Her communication throughout the booking process was amazing, and we received daily updates and pictures on how the animals were doing in her care. It was great to come up to happy animals and a clean house; we will definitely rebook her in the future!
Dorian is amazing! I will absolutely be booking with her again 😊
Dorian has cared for our pets many times now and has always done a fabulous job. Dorian is kind, reliable, and trustworthy. When our kitty got a foot injury just before our trip, Dorian came out to our house to confirm our cats needs before our booking and went above and beyond to make sure he was cared for properly while we were away! I would highly recommend Dorian!
I don't think our dog even noticed we were gone he got so much love. Communication was excellent.
Dorian always takes amazing care of our two poodles and home while we're away. We're especially appreciative of her after our last trip where one of our dogs was having stomach issues. She kept us updated and cleaned up after him. Thank you, Dorian, for everything!
Dorian was an incredible pet sitter. She was very communicative and great with our furry family. I highly recommend her.

Schedule
I work part time as a pet groomer's assistant and am also in college. On the days I work at the pet grooming I am gone for about eight hours (Mon, Tues, Sat). On Wednesdays I'm at my college for about three hours. Other than that, I am very flexible with my schedule and am happy to spend time with the animals as much as possible!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsDorian can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- The more informed I am the better care I can provide! I ask questions like: -What medications is your pet taking and what medical needs do they have? -What kind of physical touch/petting do they enjoy? -What are their favorite games or toys? -Who should I call if there is an emergency? -Where does your pet usually sleep? -What is their routine like? -What behavioral quirks do they have? -Are they an off-leash or on-leash animal? Indoors or outdoors? -Are they food, toy, or people aggressive? -What are some of your favorite activities to do together? -How familiar are they will having a pet sitter?
