I have a very flexible schedule right now, which allows me to give pets a lot of attention throughout the day. I’m able to go on walks regularly and provide consistent care without long periods of time away. I also live across the street from a park and near a long trail, so it’s easy to incorporate outdoor time, exercise, and enrichment into our daily routine.

Safety, trust & environment

If a pet is staying with me, I make sure they feel right at home. I’m around often, so they’re never left alone for long and always have company, attention, and a cozy space to relax. I really try to read their personality so I can match their energy, whether that’s playtime or just quiet comfort. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything as familiar as possible. I follow their routine closely and respect their space, so their pet feels safe and stress-free while they’re away.

Information Doris O. would like to know about your pet

I love doing a quick meet and greet beforehand so your pet can meet me with you there, it makes the transition so much easier for them. I’ll ask about their daily routine, personality, and any quirks or preferences so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and comfortable. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease!

A typical day

I live within walking distance of multiple parks and trails, so your dog will enjoy consistent outdoor time throughout the day. We’ll go on long walks and neighborhood adventures, giving them plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I also make sure to balance activity with rest, so they stay happy, comfortable, and on a routine that feels familiar.

Providing love and care

Pet care experience

Animals, especially dogs, have always been a huge part of my life. Although I don’t currently have one of my own, that allows me to give my full attention to every dog I care for. What sets me apart is how intentional I am with every dog I watch. I pay close attention to their routines, energy levels, and little quirks so they feel safe, happy, and at home. I’m not just there to “watch” your dog, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel comfortable , cared for, and loved until you get back home.

Doris is superb. Shes great with my dog and sends lots of pics. My dog gets very excited when she realizes she’s spending the weekend with her. I will absolutely continue booking her, I highly recommend Doris.

Doris was great! She sent daily pictures and updates. She shared updates often so I was constantly in the loop. Doris was flexible with drop off/pick up times. All went really well and I’ll use Doris again in the future.

Doris and her husband were wonderful dog sitters for Kilroy! They were both so friendly and welcoming the first time we met and they were incredibly flexible and accommodating with scheduling and ensuring they were meeting Kilroy's needs. They sent regular updates with pictures of Kilroy while we were away, so I always felt reassured that Kilroy was having good stay. I would highly recommend Doris to anyone looking for a new dog sitter!
