Aspiring doggie mama in the making

Hello, I am Dorine, A self proclaimed Tucsonian from Ghana, West Africa. My appreciation for our fury friends began during college when my roommate rescued the most lovable dog in the world, Rocket. Rocket and I started out as roommates competing over who deserved to sleep on my pillow, he charmingly won every time. Since then, I have spent 1-2 years pet walking Rocket and new friends and 4 years now pet sitting in and outside my home. Although I am adjusting to the business, I am flexible with learning the ins and outs for daily routines and can adapt to changes as needed. I understand everyone wants the best for their loved ones, I am glad to help get to that goal in the highest quality possible.

Boarding • Jun 28, 2025

Dorinda and her husband were wonderful. They speak dog. They don’t get freaked out that the dog barks or nips, they understand that the dog is communicating the best he can. Thank you for taking good care of Batuco!

Doggy Day Care • May 17, 2024

During the last 4 months of 2023, Dori consistently took excellent care of my corgi Tatertot for weekly daycare and a few weekend boarding. She took him on daily walks, trips to the dog park, gave him brain games, and worked with him on obedience training to help him have good full days while in her care! Her attentiveness to Tater's needs and willingness to grow through feedback made her a definite standout of the many caretakers Tater has had. I'll always remember getting a video during work one day of her guiding Tatertot through a home-made obstacle course when she recognized that Tater needed something extra to wrap his working dog brain around that day. Tater loved his days at Dori's and hopes to be back soon!

House Sitting • May 02, 2024

Dori was beyond words wonderful. Our dogs absolutely loved her. She took them on walks around the neighborhood and sent lots of pics while we were away. She is a lovely and caring person and this is more than just a job for her as she is also working on training skills with our dogs. We will definitely bookher again and have already done so. Thank you so much Dori!

Dorine was excellent with our pup! Very communicative and jumped right in when she first met him. We are super grateful for Dorine’s help!
