Information Dorothy V. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know how your dog gets along with other dogs, walks on a leash, if they're comfortable in a dog park setting and/or whether there are any special things I can do for your pet to make them feel comfortable and loved!

A typical day

My favorite places to walk are around Cadman Plaza, Hillside Dog Park, and around the Brooklyn Promenade. I'm happy to play fetch or cuddle, as is my pup, Linguini!

Pet care experience

I'm a proud dog mom to a 5-year-old terrier mix named Linguini. I've also grown up around dogs my entire life. (My parents have 2 labradors and a small rescue chihuahua named Milly!) I adore dogs and am happiest when I have a furry friend by my side.

Brinkley loved Dorothy and Linguine. I picked up a very happy boy. And Dorothy was very communicative. Look forward to rebooking. Thank you!

Dorothy watched our dog for about 1 week while we were out of the country. We felt so comfortable with Dorothy watching Hanz and he seemed to have had a great stay. She really cared about Hanz and sent helpful updates.
