Pet care experience

A tired dog = a happy owner... ;-)

Thank you for checking out my profile. We live in a house with a nice-sized fenced-in yard to romp around in. I gathered my canine experiences raising a Doberman, a Weimaraner, a Dachshund and now a Vizsla. My initially shy vizsla-girl KARMA is very well socialized and gets along with all of our guests. Sometimes, dogs will not warm up to each other, but we will be able to determine that at our "meet and greet". There is a big soccer field across from my house where I sometimes take the dogs to get their penned-up energy out. Sometimes, I spoil them with a trip to the beach, but either way, most likely your dog will come home content. As I work out of my home, I am mostly here to provide personalized care and tend to their every whim. I like to send pictures every so often so that you keep connected with your fur baby :-)

Dorothea took care of Moxie for a few nights for the first time and it went well. She is communicative and reliable. She sent pictures and updates throughout each day which we really loved! Moxie seemed to enjoy her time with Dorothea and her dog :)

Our boys love staying with Thea and Gigolo. It’s so nice knowing that they are in good hands when we travel. Highly recommend!

What a great host and home for our dog. Take the time to meet up with Thea and her sweet dog Gigolo and their cozy home with a doggie door and fenced-in yard. I went on my trip feeling 1000% comfortable and enjoyed seeing pictures pop into my feed throughout. Thea made sure my dog got what she needed. A+

Dorothea has watched our dog multiple times in her home. He always returns home happy and tired! She sends daily updates and photos. I would highly recommend her and will continue to have our dog stay with her in the future.

House Sitting • Jan 03, 2024

This was our first time using Rover and we needed someone to stay at our house to take care of my dog, my cat, and my parents senior dog who needed to be let out very often. We were nervous, but Thea was very confident and friendly during the meet and great and put a lot of our worries at ease. While we were away she sent us lots of pictures of our pets and took great care of our pets and house. I would recommend her for any pet care services!

My dog seemed very happy when I picked him up and I was glad to see that.
