Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. Their comfort and your trust are my priorities. Thank you for checking out my services.

Getting your dog out and about to stretch and explore makes for a calmer, happy pet! Charlevoix is very dog friendly with lots of areas to explore.

Pet care experience

Personally enjoy dogs and cats. Would love to help you care for yours. I can leash walk, or, if you prefer,can transport to your area's dog park! I'm retired with a flexible schedule. We are "snow birds". Charlevoix Michigan is our home April to December. Zephyrhills Florida is where we reside January to April. I will do my best to accommodate your schedule! I have my own transportation if you need a home visit. I am highly dependable and prompt! I am a good communicator to fur babies as well as humans! Putting your concerns to rest will be my priority. ....

Dorothy was a perfect sitter for Jasmine. Thank you for providing Jasmine with a soft spot to look out the window. That is Jasmine’s happy place.

Dorothy was great with our two boys—watched them for a long weekend and provided daily updates. It was their first time staying with her and hopefully not the last! Also prior to booking, Dorothy was quick to respond to my questions.

Booked her because I had to work in the area. I arrived at our scheduled time and she was not home, forcing me to bring my dog on the job which made me look unprofessional and unprepared. I even confirmed with her 2 days before. I do not recommend her because she is unreliable

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
