Pet care experience

I am an a retired grandmother and p

I have always had pets of my own, until recently when I lost my little Papillon, Gizmo, 12 years old. I have always loved animals. Although I have never been a petsitter, I would love to do this for you. Having had this need in the past, I know how important it is to have someone you know and trust that will give loving attention to your pet when you have to be away. Dorothy

6 stars if I could! Dorothy takes wonderful care of our Aussiedoodle. She is very easy to communicate with, extremely accommodating and has a wonderful yard for the dogs.

Izzy had a wonderful time with Dorothy. We were not sure if she was going to come home with us when we picked her up. She is the kind and loving dog sitter you dream about.

Dorothy is very nice. Her home is clean and there is ample space in the back yard for the pups to do their business and run around. Be aware there is an open pool in the back yard also. There is no fencing around it, but my pup had no interest in it. I took off one star bc I was not aware until the day before her stay that one of the days she was going to be there they would be gone for at least five hours and planned to have a friend come and let the pups out. I probably would have found someone else had I been told this ahead of time. We picked her up before they got home as she had her friend come over to meet us.

Pippa and I had a great first experience with Dorothy! The accommodations were great and she was flexible with us. Looking forward to another visit in the future.
