Dorian can care for
Availability
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!

About Dorian S.
Communication
Skills
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.
Information Dorian S. would like to know about your pet
Any special needs, restrictions, or allergies are highly important for me—I’d hate to accidentally ruin any specific routines for the pet and owner. As well as any quirks would be good to know, like if your dog is a more of a barker than most. And please note the commands used for your dog (if trained); I don’t want any misunderstandings between me and the pet!
A typical day
Any toys available will be enthusiastically used to play with your pups! As well as using games and walks to keep that energy burning. However, if there’s a pet who’s on the more relaxed side, I have no issues chilling while they’re spoiled with a chew toy or something of the sort. Whatever the dog’s or cat’s personality, I’ll keep the entertainment up so the pets are entertained and happy.

Pets
Hello fellow pet parents!
Pet care experience
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!

Reviews
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!
