Pet care experience

I care for all pets like they are my own! In addition to my three dogs at home, I’ve volunteered at local animal shelters for six years. My chores included walking, bathing/grooming, and feeding dogs of all shapes and sizes (along with getting them adopted). As I learned more, I also started to help out with the adoptable cats, and ending up adopting one of my own! I have also owned bunnies, ducks, a hamster, and a horse; so I have experience with their care as well. I know what it’s like to miss a loved pet as I used to always FaceTime my mom to see my pups when I was away in college. So you can be assured that I will take lots of pictures and videos to send you of your pet(s) out on walks, playing with toys, and/ or just hanging out to help put your mind at ease while you are away. I want nothing less than the best for your pets, and I promise that your pet will be in great, loving hands! Thanks for considering me!!

Dorothy was fantastic! Our babies loved having her there and she sent us a ton of pictures so we knew they were ok the entire time we were gone. Will definitely be booking her again.

Dorothy watched our two doodles and she was great!! We are super careful about who we leave our dogs with and I can’t recommend her enough! We got lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend.

Dorothy was wonderful with our pets and spoiled them as badly as we do! :) She sent lots of picture updates and it was clear that our very active lab, our very snuggly chiweenie, and very lazy cat were having a fabulous time.

Information Dorothy H. would like to know about your pet

How is your dog around strangers? Does s/he take time to warm up to people? What are your dogs favorite toys/activities/places/treats,etc? Does your dog have any areas s/he hates being touched (paws, face, etc)? How is your dog around other dogs- if we go on a walk and see a dog, how will s/he behave? I love all dogs and do not have any breed restrictions or preferences!

A typical day

It all depends on the dog! If your dog likes walks, we will explore the neighborhood together frequently (if it’s not too hot of course). If your dog is as obsessed with tug of war as my crazy 3 year old pup is, then we will play for hours (my personal record for tug of war is a 2.5 hour long game). Or if your dog is a chill, laid back, watch TV kind of dog, we will chill together.
