Pet care experience

99.9% of pets love me!

I volunteered in my local shelter throughout college in Birmingham and Mobile. My total volunteer experience is around 5 years during which I fostered dogs for the shelter. I have three furchildren (Atticus Catticus, Alexandria Hamilton, and Layla). I am also responsible, trustworthy and “like” all cute Facebook animal videos. My availability is open until August 24th. After that, I am available after 230pm. My goal is to make sure your pet has the best experience while you are away!

Dorothy is so great with my nervous dog! She is patient and kind, and understands that my dog needs a slower speed to avoid surprises. I appreciate her good natured humor about it, too!

Dorothy is very caring to the needs of your pet. She loves all animals, and it shows through her previous fostering of dogs and cats. Dorothy is attentive and updates you throughout the day on how your pet is doing. I would use Dorothy’s services of caring for my dog again if given the opportunity.

Dorothy is a wonderful person and fantastic around person. She is responsible and attentive to the needs of any animal, and has great experience around dogs, particularly larger breeds. Her care and attention are particular high points. She is friendly and easy to work with.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I’m a teacher who is off for the summer! I can drop in during the early morning, afternoon, or late evening. During the school year, I’m available after 2:30pm. Animal care is a part of my daily life since I have pets of my own.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I follow the owner’s directions and make it my goal to ensure the pet is comfortable in their own space. Whether it’s a calm, gentle voice or yummy treats, I try to make sure pets feel at ease.

Pets

A typical day

I would love to explore the neighborhood with your dog! If your pet has any favorite places or parks, let me know. I’ll be happy to take them! If your cat has a special wand toy or loves the laser, I would love to play with them!

Let me know if your pet has any special care instructions. I can also follow up with text confirmations and pictures! I have several pets so I understand.
