Pet care experience
I've had dogs and other pets all of my life. I love animals and have learned significantly about their behaviors throughout my years of caring for them. My primary concern is their safety so I keep a hawk eye on them. If I note any behavior issues I have enough experience to know what to do to prevent issues from arising. However, I also want them to be comfy so I have many cozy zones in my house for them to lounge in. I will treat your baby as my own while they are in my care. I want you to rest assured that your babies will be safe and ecstatically happy until you return.
Reviews
Dorinda was the absolute sweetest!! Was stuck with no sitter completely last minute early morning, she was so quick to respond to me! Dorinda sent cute photos of my son all day making work a little easier & easing my worries! Thank you Dorinda! You were the best ♥️
Dorinda was fantastic! She met me 2x prior to pet sitting to go over all details and let me dogs get familiar with her---and you can tell she is a true animal lover as my dogs immediately fell at home with her. While I was away, she showed up exactly when she said she would, spent time playing with my dogs and sent daily videos of my pups. I am so pleased with her I will certainly use her every time I need a pet sitter.
Dorinda is the biggest dog lover I know, and I know a lot of them! I've known Dorinda for over 7 years, and have watched her care for her own dogs many times. She treats them as if they were her own well-loved children. Besides her dog caregiver cred, Dorinda is also an extremely responsible and reliable person in general. I would HIGHLY recommend her as a dog sitter and would consider any dog she is responsible for to be a lucky dog, indeed!

They have full run of the house and the back yard when I am home. When I am at work they will be separated so that there are no issues. I have many options for separating them and keeping them safe.

A typical day
Every morning we begin the day with a romp in the front yard. This gives them a chance to relieve themselves first thing. Then we have breakfast. If they need anything special like medications I can administer them then. I make sure they have plenty of water and clean places to lay down during the day. They usually just sleep. When I get home they go out again and then we have dinner and watch tv or play. On weekends we hang in the back yard or do gardening in the front yard and will sleep in in the morning. This is snuggle time. When they have treats they are usually asked to do a trick. They learn "paw" very quickly. They also are encouraged to "sit" and "stay".

I also work Monday through Friday so, your pet will experience this routine. I've had dogs my entire work life and they all adapt quite well. I have cameras to watch them during the day and I have my son to care for them on Mondays and Wednesdays. It works out very well.
