Pet care experience

I am a dog lover! 🐾 Well, I adore animals in general. I love being able to give them the care they need. I have no children of my own but I am a full-time dog mom and cat mom. I have cared for dogs and cats my entire life. Plus, I do not mind cleaning up messes! Spoiling pups and cuddling are two of my favorite things. Dog walks are fun for both of us because we both get exercise and fresh air! I have a wonderful, sweet-as-can-be pup at my house named Mister. He gets along well with the cats. He is a nice boy but if he needs to be separated I am prepared to do so, he has a crate. It would be ideal for your dog to have one too if he/she comes to my house. I am very excited to sign up for Rover~ I'm really looking forward to meeting and caring for pups! 🐕

Dorothy was great! Quick response to a last minute request and followed instructions for my anxious doggo. Transparent, good communication, and sent pictures and updates periodically as well. Would recommend her to anyone and would definitely book with her again.

Dorothy was great! Very friendly and good with Luna. She sent pictures during each walk so I could see my pup was getting attention! I would definitely book her again!

Dorothy was wonderful. My dog is my baby, and I can get a little neurotic when it comes to him. I'd never left him with a stranger before, and he has disc issues in his neck that make exercise restrictions crucial for him to stay stable. I ran through a gambit of what ifs and typed up short and long versions of instructions, typed up something for the vet in the case that something emergent happen (which nothing did), and made her figure out where the nearest emergency vet was located. Dorothy was extremely accommodating and patient and never showed it if she thought I was as neurotic as I felt :P She was able to adhere to the exercise restrictions and kept our dogs separate to prevent mine from getting too excited. She also was kind enough to sleep on her couch since my dog isn't allowed to do stairs and has some issues with separation anxiety. She was also accommodating with drop off and pick up. She had to be at work during the time that I needed to drop off, but her mom was able to be there. I'd already gone over instructions with Dorothy, so I had no fears that something might get lost in translation. When I picked up my pup he was happy and stable, which in turn made me happy:)

Not only is Dorothy an excellent dog sitter, but she is a true animal lover! This was confirmed at our meet and greet when she rescued a parakeet that had gotten itself lost and seemed to be begging her for help! It was amazing! Happily, the parakeet has found a wonderful, forever home with Dorothy! She is great!!!

I have a fenced yard at my house and a dog who would LOVE to be friends~ (if the owner says it's okay and the dogs get along well together, of course)!

Information Dorothy D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs. I can administer oral medication if need be, but I am not a professional. I will need to know about any special diets or allergies. I'm happy to accommodate for the pup's needs; but I would like to request no aggressive dogs, please! If I am boarding your dog here, he/she must get along with cats. Any other information you'd like to share about your dog is welcomed and encouraged!

A typical day

We'll take walks around the neighborhood and play fetch in the yard. I'll provide lots of cuddles and treats (within reason)! Every dog is different so it will depend on what they specifically want and need!
