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.
Reviews
Willow, my boxer mix, did great at Dorothy’s home. The double dog doors are the same as my house and Dorothy’s active lifestyle was perfect for my dog with walks and runs and hikes and ball time. Thanks again Dorothy!
Dorothy was fantastic. We scheduled a home visit for her and our high energy Heeler mix Mila and they immediately got along very well. Dorothy has knowledge of how to behave appropriately around dogs and understands correct methods of "training" and dealing with undesired behavior. Mila was taken for runs every day and we received updates and photos daily to see her activities. She even got to meet a friend (which she asked for approval ahead of time) which she really enjoyed playing with for a few days. Overall, we were very happy and felt comfortable leaving Mila with Dorothy and she will be our go to the next time we need a sitter!
Dorothy took great care of my lovely Lily, a 3 year old golden doodle. She took her on many adventures and sent me frequent photos and updates while I was gone for a week. If I could give her 6 stars, I would.
Dorothy was so loving with our pup, while also ensuring safety. Highly recommend.

Home
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.

Availability
I am retired and flexible with my time and availability for both day and overnight visits. If appropriate, I can take your dog for a walk, hike or run. I invite a meet and greet before the first visit and commit to maintaining an owners care routine as much as possible. Your pets will get a lot of love and attention while staying with me!
