Dorothy is just wonderful! She is friendly, accommodating, warm and professional. Our dog took to her right away, loving all the attention and pets. I appreciated the excellent communication Dorothy provided while we were away. We have zero hesitations using her again! Thanks Dorothy!

Dorothy is AMAZING! She stayed in our home and cared for our 2 cats for 12 days. We came home to very happy cats and a beautifully clean house. Dorothy is warm, trust-worthy, and dedicated. I really appreciated her professionalism and her obvious love for animals. I felt comfortable with her from our first meeting, and she went above and beyond what I was expecting. We will absolutely be asking her to help us out again in the future. She is truly wonderful.

Dorothy, was amazing! We have 2 rescues that she won over (not an easy task). I would highly recommend Dorothy!

Dorothy did a wonderful job looking after our dog and our house while we were away. She sent several photos of King and text messages of reassurance that he was fine in our absence. I would highly recommend Dorothy.

I haven’t left my dog alone in 2 years do to separation anxiety. Dorothy came to the house and fitted in seamlessly with Emmy. She was well fed and well exercised. Most importantly well loved. I got picture and video updates and my house was clean and tidy upon my return. If you are going away for a few days I highly recommend Dorothy.

My preference is to work with smaller dogs and cats but I would consider gentle or senior larger dogs. I have administered medicine to other animals I have cared for in the past but would like if a written routine can be provided if medication is required.
