Curious Dog Pet Sitting

Pet care experience

Your dog will avoid the emotional and physical stress of being in a kennel, boarding facility or "dog hotel". I am home during the day to provide your fur baby with 12 Hours of fun and loving care. Your dog can maintain their normal daily routine. Conveniently schedule pet transportation when you need it; at an additional charge/free if booking multiple dogs Medications administered if needed. Safe and friendly "free range home environment". Daily walks, feeding and exercise. I will text/message you daily with updates. I have a fully fenced in yard on a 1/4 acre. I am also available on short notice I have 35 years of caring for dogs I am available for drop ins at your home for all animals i.e domestic, exotic and farm Kindly take into consideration that I am not a kennel drop-in business and we both need to provide a scheduled time that fits yours and my family home schedule please.

Dorothy was absolutely wonderful with my senior dog Mickey! From the moment we met, it was clear she had a genuine love for animals and a gentle, caring demeanor. She was incredibly attentive to my pup's needs and quirks, and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for every step of the way. I especially appreciated the regular updates and sweet photos she sent — it gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and I would trust Dorothy again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

I recently had my Aussie/collie stay overnight with Dorothy and I really felt confident and at ease after set up a quick meet and greet. I will definitely contact Dorothy again soon. Our doggo was a good girl too 😊

Dorothy was very kind, I appreciated getting updates and pictures from her visit with my pups. She even took on my daughters little dog at the last minute which was so nice of her.
