Dorie was communicative and great with our two dogs (one senior dog with a lot of medical and physical needs). Left the house in perfect condition. Highly recommend!

Dory was so wonderful with our fur baby while we went away for the weekend to celebrate our wedding! She kept us updated through the stay, and our guy had a great time! We hope to have Dory help us with drop ins and house-sitting regularly due to her excellent service.

Dory was so wonderful when dropping in on our fur baby! She was great with managing his excitability, and had no trouble getting into our condo despite it's awkward location. We are thrilled to have her spend the weekend with him soon!
