Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Doris. I have a Shepard/husky mix who loves playing with other dogs. I love taking dogs on walks and meeting neighbors...often they remember the dog's name before mine. (But I'm sure you're in the same boat!) I used to volunteer at the spcaLA Long Beach and plan to take my son and volunteer together when he is old enough. I am notorious in the family for following stray dogs for blocks to rescue them. I'm happy to say that many were reunited with their families. I grew up with dogs, small to medium size. We had as many as 3 dogs at one time. We babysit our friends and family's dogs when they go on vacation. We also like to be out in the yard and our neighbors' dogs always stop by to say hello on their walks. So, you've come to the right place! Your fur baby will be treated with love and special care, whether it's snuggling up, chasing balls, or checking out the neighborhood. I have a big shady backyard that is walled and fenced so there's plenty of room to enjoy the breeze when your pup stays with us. I have a young child who loves dogs if your pup is kid friendly and likes to play after school. Thanks for your interest! See you soon!
Reviews
Rio enjoyed his walk! Thank you!
I appreciate that she came with just a few hours notice.
Doris was very welcoming to my pup Charlie and me. She was open to meet for a meet and greet to see if Charlie would be a fit for her home.
Doris was an amazing caretaker for our Goldendoodle, Buddy. We have used a number of Rover sitters before and each was wonderful, in their own right, but Doris and family were exceptional but this was the best experience with a sitter we have ever had. From the first meeting, we knew we were in good hands. Doris had shown a keen interest in Buddy asking so many great questions to make sure his stay was a good one. Doris's neighborhood is blessed with a lot of shade so that even on the hottest days there is always a cool spot in her yard. Buddy was walked every day and we received so many photos of Buddy hanging with the family and on his walks. Thank you Doris for a wonderful stay and we look forward to seeing you again for our next vacation.

I have a big shady enclosed backyard for mid-day play sessions. If your pup prefers quiet crate time for comfort or naps, there’s room for that too.
Information Doris P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know any behaviors/preferences that I should know to accommodate for your pup’s needs and comfort. I also have a dog, so if there is a need to separate feedings, that’s important to know to keep everyone safe. Medical needs? Separation anxiety?
A typical day
I love playing fetch, tug o war, or chase me games in the yard. I’ll also work on a few commands throughout the day to practice skills. We also like the dog park if your pup enjoys free play with others. I keep close eyes on them to make sure they are safe.
