Large Wooded Property with Big Yard

Pet care experience

We are looking forward to meeting your Domestic Canine Friend . . . We love Big and Small, as we explore the out of doors in our big wooded fenced-in Property. Our own German Shepherd loves to interact with his people as we throw balls and he runs to retrieve them, and he loves having new friends join in the fun, whether to play ball or just enjoy the run. In the evenings we take a controlled walk up the wooded road where the dogs love to sniff and explore. We include our visitors into our daily routine as if they are our own. Each dog is uniquely different, We want to make your pets transition smooth and comfortable. It's nice when we can meet each other before your dogs long visit --it helps your dog settle in and be comfortable when he is familiar with his new environment. Things we need: * Dog Crate -(a place Rover can call his own)During the bulk of the day, we keep the dogs out and about in the house and yard, and when I need to step out, I secure them in their crates to keep them safe and secure while I am away. At bedtime, we also sleep the dogs in their crates. * Leash - for our daily walk or should we say a sniff & explore? :) * Food & Dish, and any other treats, chews or goodies your dog is allowed. We invite you to give us a call and allow our home to be your pet's home away from home. Please Prepare your Dog With: * Up-To-Date Vaccinations --- for the safety of your dog and mine! * Animal Registration, Vaccination tags, Chip Numbers, and Vetrinarian contact information.

Another wonderful time staying with Dorothy. She kept us updated with daily pictures and detail about the day. She went above and beyond taking care of Sonny. Thank you Dorothy!

Great experience! We are very happy that Venus had Buddy to play with. It made her separation anxiety easier to deal with. We already booked additional stays : ))))

Dorothy is honestly the best sitter I have used. She understands dogs and their needs better than anyone I have had Otis stay with. She has given me a few things that she wants me to work on with Otis to improve his manners that she has already started! As always, she will be my go to for dog sitting. She has been very accommodating.

Dorothy and her husband are the best sitters I have used! They have an amazing setup to keep the dogs safe in their home by gating off several doorways. They get a good play session in the morning, a walk in the afternoon, and another evening play session. It was enough activity that my 1 year old German shorthair comes home and sleeps the entire next day! Their dog Buddy is a big sweet heart and loves to play with other dogs. I will be using Dorothy to watch Otis anytime I can!
