I live in a townhouse with a small fenced yard - perfect for potty breaks & for playing fetch or for sitting out on the patio in the nicer weather. Your pup would be allowed on my furniture & would be loved & cared for like it is my own. Your dog would have full access to my home.

Information Dorothy M. would like to know about your pet

**NO AGGRESSIVE DOGS** Please feel free to tell me your dog's likes & dislikes. Do they sleep in bed with you or in a crate? Either way, I will accommodate. Does your dog like to go for a car ride? I oftentimes have to pick my child up from after school activities & would be happy to bring your pup along for a ride. Special treats? Special diet? I've got you covered.

A typical day

I am used to taking my own dog for a walk twice a day - more in the nicer weather. Together we will take walks around the neighborhood to sniff all the sniffs. I also have a large field across the street from my house that is always fun to let dogs explore while on a leash. I would love to play fetch with your dog & am happy to throw a ball or squeaky toys until they tire. In the evening, I would be happy to snuggle with your pup while watching TV or reading a book. In the nicer weather, we grill outdoors & sit out on our patio.

Pet care experience

**Please Note: I work part-time on weekdays, therefore dogs must be able to be left alone for approximately 6 hours**. I’ve been a dog lover my entire life. My family & I rescued our sweet dog during the pandemic. She recently passed over the rainbow bridge & while I am not ready to rescue another, I thought why not help others by taking care of their furry loved ones while they travel/vacation.

Dorothy took great care of our senior pup! She and her family treated him like one of their own. I would definitely recommend.

Dorothy has been an animal lover ever since I’ve known her and has had many pets over the years. She’s kind, gentle and patient with animals and exhibits true professionalism in her work. Most importantly, Dorothy is responsible and trustworthy and you can feel confident leaving your pet in her care. She is, very simply, the best!

I am happy to recommend Dorothy as a pet sitter with Rover. She is incredibly dependable, caring, and responsible. She has a true love for animals. She takes pet care seriously and always make sure animals are safe, well cared for. Above all, she is a genuinely kind person who can be trusted to treat every pet as if it were her own. Any pet owner would be lucky to have her caring for their furry family member, and I wholeheartedly recommend Dorothy for a pet-sitting position with Rover.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Dorothy my entire life, and I can say with complete confidence that she would make an exceptional dog walker/sitter. Her patience, gentle energy, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. Dogs seem to gravitate toward her and even my anxious dog relaxed in her presence. Dorothy is reliable and attentive and strives to make sure all dogs feel safe and comfortable. She approaches any task with thoughtfulness and enthusiasm. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like family, Dorothy is the person.
