Fenced yard and big swimming pool!

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a HUGE pet lover and have 3 of my own that play fetch, swim in our salt water tab pool, and love long walks in my quiet neighborhood. My mother ran a non-profit, no kill shelter and low cost clinic for 20 years where I volunteered, so I'm used to being with animals and giving them love and attention like they deserve. I stress when I have to leave my babies and I want you to know, you don't have to worry when you leave yours in my care-I treat them like you want them treated: with love and respect. I have additional bedrooms so if you prefer yours to be separated, we can accommodate that as well! I have 3 days off a week and could do more on those days, however my schedule fluctuates, so let's chat about what you need. My home is big, clean, and safe. I look forward to meeting your furry family member!

Dorothee was great with my pup and contributed a lot to her training. Just from spending a few half days with Dorothee, Maddie learned how to stop jumping on guests when they entered the house and learned how to play with other dogs by playing with Dorothee’s dogs. She also was able to exercise Maddie enough and use up all that puppy energy so that by the time it was time to pick her up she was calm and ready for bed. Maddie loved spending time with Dorothee and would get so excited in the car whenever she started to recognize Dorothee’s neighborhood. Hands down best dog sitter I’ve had and if I move back, I’d have her watch my pup again.

Dorothee is a wonderful dog sitter and all around dog lover! She has watched my dog many times over long and short periods of time while we were traveling and my dog never wants to leave her place! She is attentive, loving and active with the dogs in her care, communicative and perceptive. She goes beyond the basic expectations when our dog is in her care, paying attention to quirks, giving us detailed accounts of her days or pointing out things we might want to know or pay attention to that even we do not notice sometimes. Your dogs will be well looked after with her and be treated with the same love and care that she give to her own dogs. It will be hard to leave them anywhere else once you’ve experienced Dorothee’s magic!

Information Dorothee K. would like to know about your pet

I will only accept dogs with all shots and spayed/neutered that are socialized. No exceptions to this. If you have a puppy and want to socialize them, we can set up play dates and get them used to the pack and other dogs.inquire with me for training and basic obedience as well.

A typical day

Your loved one can swim in our pool, play fetch with my dogs, and enjoy a walk through the quiet neighborhood. I have cams set up and am happy to send footage to show you how happy your pup is here. I also offer training at $30/hr and recommend 3 hours a week for consistency. Please note a daycare stay is 8am-8pm or any fraction of that, whereas an overnight is 8pm-8am and the pick up after 9am starts a new day!
