Highlights
Pet care experience
Hello fellow pet parents!
I’ve owned/raised pets (dogs, cats, fish, a chinchilla, etc.) throughout my life. Over the past few years I’ve cared for friends’ and family’s animals of various ages; as well as house-sat simultaneously. The most at a time I’ve watch was six dogs over the course of three-four days. I can confidently provide any pets feeding, walking, playing, cleaning, bathing, and any special medications or routines. I’ve never had any issues, but would not hesitate to contact owners about questions or concerns—communication is key! While I may not have “professional” expertise in pet-sitting, that doesn’t hinder my ability to adore and properly watch anyone’s pets. I wish to grow and expand as a pet-caretaker and house-sitter, and I hope to leave lasting positive impression on any and all future clients!

Safety, trust & environment
I do own pets of my own, a dog (Lily) and a cat (Loki); Lily is two years old and Loki is eight, and they are both very special to me. Since I live with my parents, I also care for five other cats which are my mother’s, and they are all adorable little rascals. We let the cats free fed, keeping their bowls full, but for my dog I feed her twice a day; breakfast and dinner. I make my own wet food for my pup since she won’t eat kibble without it, it’s a simple but healthy mix of rice, turkey or chicken, and vegetables. When it’s not freezing outside, I enjoy taking my dog out on daily morning walks. For the potty, we keep three litter boxes, cleaning day and night, and for Lily I take her out on a leash to our backyard which is unfortunately not fenced in. The only time I use a crate for my dog is when I’m gone from the house and nobody else is there. For clients, I respect any and all rules or requirements set, both for the house and the pets. Although I’m not messy, I still make sure to do a proper clean of the abode before owners return home.
Ratings and reviews
We connected with Dorian for the first time recently, and are delighted to report that everything worked out well. Dorian stayed at our house for a week while taking care of our 2 kitties. He met both cats prior to our trip, and they (the cats) approved. All indications are that he was able to make friends with them despite the fact that they have been leary of strangers. They enjoy a catdoor, which they use extensively, and he was here for them even when they weren't around. Communiation with Dorian was strong and the house was left in very good condition Although our cats were very happy to have us back, they didn't appear to be stressed, as opposed to their reaction to some other sitters we have had. We will definitely contact Dorian again when the occasion arises. Hopefully he'll still be available.
Dorian was wonderful and casting our animals loved him! Will definitely reach out for future bookings!
Dorian was amazing! He went above and beyond in caring for my very anxious dog. He was communicative and I think left my house cleaner even than when he arrived! Would love to have him sit my pup again ❤️
Dorian was fantastic with our brood of dogs and our cat! He was so respectful of our house, kept everything in order and was just an absolute pleasure to have around! Our pets loved him and we are so grateful to have someone like him to reach out to in the future! Thank you for fantastic and caring pet sitting in our house!
Dorian was kind, respectful, timely and dedicated. Both the animals got love and we got updates with photos 🤩 He helped take care of the plants, and left our home clean as and we do. We will definitely be reaching out to him in the future.
Dorian was fantastic with my three cats, he was easy to communicate with, providing detailed and fun updates (and pictures!) each day, and making sure that they all my pets received appropriate attention. My kitties had a great time and he was so thoughtful with playing with my high energy kitten, and then giving my older guys extra love and treats. I trust him to watch my house and pets any time, and I'm looking forward to working with him in the future, thank you Dorian!

Schedule
I have been recently hired for a new job, a full-time one; it would include 5 days, 8-9 hours for each shift. The days are inconsistent as of now but hopefully they will level out within the next few months. For house-sits, I hope this doesn’t cause much trouble, I always return to owners’ homes after working. For drop-in visits, on my scheduled days, I am available anytime before or after my shift. despite this pet-sitting will continue to be very manageable for me!
