Information Dorothy B. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any special needs, allergies or tendencies that I should know about? What commands are they trained to follow? Do they have any issues with separation, behavior quirks or bad habits? How do they get along with other dogs, strangers, cats or children? I would like to know any particular personality traits, fears or triggers your dog may have to avoid any surprises and to better provide the best care experience possible.

A typical day

Dogs staying at my house have a large fenced yard to play in with dog doors for free access. I will walk, run or hike where appropriate with dogs that are properly trained. I have many different toys to entertain your pup with; ropes, balls, squeaker toys, etc. I have an extra large crate to make any breed comfortable if they are so accustomed, and a wading pool for hot summer days. Your pets will be fed on a schedule with the food you provide, and water is always available in multiple places.

Pet care experience

Although currently without a 4-legged companion, I have had multiple dogs over the last 30+ years, most all have been labs, pointers or springer spaniels. I have experience with all ages including senior dogs and administering medications. I have done volunteer work with both Mile High Weimaranar Rescue and Mile High German Shorthaired Pointer Rescue and fostered dogs from both organizations as well as interviewed potential adopters for placement.

Dorothy was great with Ember. She was very conscious of how Ember was feeling. She kept Ember occupied and engaged. She also sent pictures and had great communication with me.

Dorothy was amazing! Sent multiple pictures and was great with Maggie. Maggie was very comfortable there and I will definitely be using Dorothy again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
