Responsible & huge animal lover!!
Pet care experience
Hi - I am Dorothy! I love all animals, especially cats and dogs, and really enjoy caring for them. I grew up with my own orange tabby cat, Kiki, and taking care of friends' and neighbors' dogs. I have experience taking care of dogs ranging from maltese to pitbull. When my friends are out of town, I often take care of their pets. I always get a little excited when my friends with pets leave town, so I can watch their loved ones. Plus, I volunteered at animal shelters where I fed, walked, and played with larger dogs mostly, such as pitbulls and labradors! Types of care includes walking, feeding, petting, and sharing tremendous love! I am also an athletic girl, so I can definitely keep up with your dog if he or she is active and prefers longer walks or play time at the dog park! I also have experience working with puppies, as little as 8 weeks, so I understand the importance of training at a young age (i.e. chewing and crating). I live in Sunnyvale and would love to meet some new furry friends. You will get plenty of photos (maybe more than you want) of your dog(s) in great hands! To further evidence my love for animals, my husband and I recently rescued hamsters from a dumpster (someone threw them away and our building management found them). Their names are Mac & Cheese :)
Reviews
Dorothy was wonderful with our kitty, and he LOVED her! She was great about following our instructions and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely hire Dorothy again!
Dorothy is excellent! My dog can be slow to warm up but quickly took a liking to Dorothy
Conscientious and caring--- the two most important qualities needed in a great dog caregiver, well, Dorothy has both in quantity. JJ loved his time with her and we appreciated her professionalism. Highly recommended.
Dorothy was great with my puppy! Played with her, kept her entertained, and from chewing anything she wasn't supposed to. She was flexible and when I got the timing wrong on the hours I needed her for was super easy about changing the times.

Information Dorothy Y. would like to know about your pet
For Dog Boarding and Day Care, very large breeds may not be preferable due to size of the apartment. However, I take in all dogs of different breeds! Things I would want to know: Eating habits, # of walks and duration a day, treats or no treats, if you'd like him off/on leash, and of course, if he is potty trained! I don't take dogs that are not yet trained!
A typical day
Riverside, Central Park, and play in our backyard!!
