Dotsie took such wonderful care of our dog while we were away for 10 days. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such loving, capable hands. She sent daily updates and photos, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our trip knowing our pup was happy and well cared for. It was clear that Dotsie genuinely loves animals and treated our dog like one of her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care!

Dorothy and her husband took such wonderful care of our pup! He is 2 years old and full of energy, so we were a little nervous leaving him, but they did an amazing job. It was clear he was well cared for, happy, and got plenty of attention and love. They kept us updated and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and reliable sitters!

Dorothy made us feel very good about leaving Penny. She looked very happy and content. We will definitely reach out next time we go on vacation when we can’t take her with us. Thank you Dorothy for taking such good care of our fur baby. 🥰

Amazing and caring dog sitter! Our dog was very happy staying with her and she sent photo updates every day. She went above and beyond taking him on nice walks through the DMV area.

First, how does this dog interact with children. I would like to know of any medical problems, medications. a contact phone number and contact for the dogs vet.
