Unfortunately I was frustrated with the communication with Dorothy. I had to request updates about Smalls which is fine in and of itself. But then after agreeing on a pre-noon pickup, Dorothy messaged me at 4am telling me I could only pick her up before 8am or after 6:30pm. When I expressed concern that my dog was being left alone and not getting potty breaks for 10+ hours she gave me the run around and didn’t divulge and real explanation or details about why or when she was being let out. I don’t know why I couldn’t pick her up one of the times she was being let out if someone was in fact home with her and because I feel there was deceit regarding that, let alone her being left alone for so long, I would not return or recommend using her.

TOP NOTCH CARE! Dorothy brought out my dog's personality that I thought was gone. It is clearly evident that taking care of pets is not a job but a calling! I received consistent updates and photos/video, I knew my dog was in great hands. I would definitely use her services again!
