Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm & reliable pet sitter
I have always loved having and looking after pets and often volunteer to help out friends and family for hours, days or weeks at a time. I have a very calming presence and pets feel at ease around me. I grew up with cats, dogs, and a rabbit, and I also volunteered my evenings and weekends to taking care of horses. I have experience with feeding, washing and grooming, and have looked after puppies and elderly dogs, as well as rescue dogs with anxiety.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am naturally very safety conscious and alert to potential risks and threats, centring the pet’s comfort and safety as my main priority. I will always act supportively and with care.
Ratings and reviews
Excellent ! Reliable , friendly and looked after our house and Basil very well . Highly recommended
Dorothy provided my two Frenchies with fantastic care whilst I had a few days away. I couldn't have left my needy Frenchies in better hands , she did an awesome job. When I came back she left the really clean and tidy, which was lovely . Dorothy communicated really well and kept me informed of any issues etc. I would highly recommend Dorothy to provide a first class pet sitting service 😊
Dolly looked after our chocolate Labrador Mika for a week and we couldn’t be happier. She kept us regularly updated with messages , which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Mika was clearly very well cared for and happy throughout. We also came home to a clean and tidy house, which was really appreciated. We would happily recommend Dolly and would definitely book again.
Within minutes of introducing Dorothy to Bosco my 9 year old labrador I knew that she genuinely cared for animals. Dorothy's communication prior to the house sit and during was excellent . I left specific instructions for Bosco's care and Dorothy followed them with accuracy. I would highly recommend Dorothy for her kindness, reliability and honesty. Bosco is looking forward to more house sitting adventures with her.
Dolly was absolutely amazing, we have a very nervous/ anxious dog and was the first time we've ever left her, we amended the dates a few weeks out due to needing to change destination and was still absolutely fine with it, Dolly updated me regularly and our dog even came out of her shell which she has never done before, will 100% use Dolly every time we need a dog sitter. Left the house spotless. Just perfect 😊 Thank you xx
Quick at responding when booking. Communicated a lot while I was away and left the house immaculate . Would to book again if I can. Thank you
