Dorothy took wonderful care of our hyper Golden Retriever, Murphy, while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Murphy had an amazing holiday of his own! We would happily leave Murphy with her again!

Dorothy was wonderful. She was very communicative throughout the process and flexible to our needs. Our pup came back happy and seemed to have enjoyed himself! Highly recommended.

I am very pleased with the care Dorothy provided my boy for a few days as I had to go to Vancouver for some personal needs. I got daily updates along with photos and my dog had a blast, enjoyed her yard and overall I think I was more anxious about the situation than my anxious dog was. Would highly recommend her for your fur babies and I will likely utilize Dorothy for future dog care as I'd like my boy to build a small on going relationship with his care giver while I am away. Thanks for everything Dorothy! We really appreciated it.
