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 is great! She has been walking our pups for several months now. She’s very dependable, communicative and responsive. We had her stay with our pups for the first time overnight and it was very easy to leave knowing they were in good hands with Doris.
Doris was the perfect pet sitter! We returned to our home exactly how we left it and our pets were well taken care of in our absence. She responded immediately when I checked-in and provided daily photos of my pets. Also came to my house twice before my vacation to get to know my animals as I have one dog who is reluctant with strangers. Will definitely use her again for future travel. Highly Recommended!
Always great
We have seen growth and positive change in our pup since Doris started spending time with him mid day a few weeks ago. He looks forward to seeing her each day!

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.

Availability
I am capable of providing care for pets during most of the day, with the exception of 4-6 hours each day. I typically break that out time up between 2-3 different breaks per day each for about 2 hours.
