Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in my own home, which is fully fenced and safe — perfect for dogs to relax, play, and feel at ease. I don’t have a dog of my own at the moment; my last companion passed away after 14 wonderful years together. That experience deepened my love and understanding of dogs, and I now bring full attention and affection to every pet I welcome. I offer personalized care, keeping their routines and preferences in mind, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or quiet cuddles. For walks, I choose calm routes and adjust the pace to each dog’s needs. I currently focus on care in my home, always creating a loving, secure environment that feels just like home to them.

Information Dorotea F. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for any pet, I love learning all the important details ahead of time 🐾—their routines, favorite toys, any quirks, and especially health needs or medications. Knowing their personality helps me make them feel safe and happy, whether they’re shy, playful, or full of energy. The more I know, the better I can tailor the experience to make them feel right at home.

A typical day

When I watch pets, I make sure they have a great time! 🐶🐾 I have a fenced yard where they can run around safely and play freely. We’ll enjoy fun outdoor time together, and there are several parks and green spaces nearby that we can explore on walks. Whether it’s sniffing new scents, chasing toys, or just relaxing in the sun, I make sure every moment is full of joy and care!

I’ve cared for dogs since childhood, with years of hands-on experience and genuine love. I believe a home is where a dog lives — so I create a warm, safe, and affectionate space where every dog feels like part of the family.

This was our first time having Lilly stay with Dorotea and it was a wonderful experience. She was so welcoming and loving to Lilly at first sight and we felt so confident leaving her there. Dorotea sent comments and pictures throughout the visit which we greatly appreciated ❤️. She deserves her 5 star status!

I could not be happier, from the moment we dropped off Louie to all the updates while we were away , we were so happy and at ease that Louie was being so well cared for. I am so happy we found Dorothea and no longer have to stress about going away and leaving the dog. Louie was so loved and cared for I thought he might not want to come home. Thanks again and we will see you soon. ❤️

Hendrix loves Dorotea. He gets so excited when we pull up to her home. She is very patient with him and likes to figure out his quirks. She is a lovely person who has a caring heart for dogs. I highly recommend Dorotea!

Dorothea was great and Ernie loved her! She walked him a few times a day and had him play in her yard which he loved. She also sent us photos and videos daily which we appreciated!
