Safety, trust & environment
Since I do not board dogs, all of my experiences will be in your home. Your pups will be free to roam around and play where ever they are allowed, and only crated for any brief times I might have to leave if a crate is needed.
Information Doris G. would like to know about your pet
I would like a forewarning about any dogs that are even mildly human or other dog aggressive, whether it be food guarding, resource (toy) guarding, etc. It won’t stop me from dog sitting or walking them, but it will allow me to take certain precautions so that neither I or the dog are put in a situation that might cause anxiety or stress.
A typical day
There are several dog friendly parks around where I live that your dog can be brought too, and provided they enjoy it or are energetic enough for it, they can be treated to a jog or a run rather than a walk! I play with toys, play fetch, or cuddle with dogs depending on what each dog prefers.

Pet care experience
I am an experienced dog walker and pet sitter, I have been taking care of pets on Rover for the last five years and I truly love it. I previously walked and took care of a variety of pets for roughly 5 years before I joined Rover. I enjoy meeting all different sorts of dogs and playing with them. I have experience with elderly, disabled and special needs dogs. I have dealt in depth with dogs that have epilepsy, in fact, I have three dogs of my own that have seizures. Should the need arise I can dispense medication and go the extra mile for a dog with special requirements. I also have experience dealing with mild to severely aggressive dogs as well as generally unruly or excitable dogs. I love dogs of all sizes, shapes, personalities and breeds! I don't only care for dogs, though, I also care for cats as well as other small household pets! Through out my entire life I have yet to live without at least one cat in my home, and just like with dogs I take great pride in being able to care for any cat, whether they be disabled, elderly or have special needs!
Reviews
Doris took good care of my kitties, I loved the cute pictures I got after each drop in visit. 100% recommend!
Doris was very punctual and the cats seemed very happy upon my return! Everything was kept tidy and feeding instructions were carried out in good order.
Doris was great with our fur babies while we were away! So glad to know they were well cared for 😊
Doris was took excellent care of our Labrador Retriever in our home! She set up a meet and greet meeting with us and asked about our dog’s likes and dislikes. She shared some stories about her own dogs so we knew she was experienced with all kinds of dogs and we were comforted that Sable (our dog) would be in good hands since this was the first time Sable had ever had a dog sitter. During her visits, Doris played with Sable, sent us pictures & updates, took her for walks and fed & watered her at the scheduled times. I highly recommend Doris as a pet sitter!!
