I come to you!

Pet care experience

I come to your pet's home. It's stressful enough for them to miss you let alone be relocated to an unfamiliar, often times, out back, confinement. I am a retired 63 year old social worker and am available to travel long distance to comfort the herd, flock or pack. I have experience in pet/house sitting...matter of fact, I am pet sitting right now; for five of my favorite clients..Tasha, Sox, Abby, Bella and Lilly. I've stayed with them over night, and for weeks sometimes. I worked with developmentally disabled adults. I learned I have a talent with those who can't speak for themselves. It was completely natural for me to go from that career into this one. I live on a farm, with goats, chickens, six of my own dog kids, and a husband. I'm a very quiet low keyed person. Dogs/cats and plants put me at ease so I'm easy with them. I spend my hours in your home with your pets and love it. Size or breed doesn't matter. Tasha (above-referenced) is a Mastiff. I house sit for another family who has two very large outdoor dogs, and three chihuahuas. My dog kids are two service dog Rottweilers (Reese and Nestle), a 113, in dog years, dachshund, two chihuahuas, a mutt and a kitty. I'm substance free, married, dependable and honest...don't need or want your possessions, just your puppy's love.

I have known Dotti for over 20 years and I must say they have been 20 of the most enlightening and wonderful I have ever had with an individual. Dotti has always amazed me with her inner ability to respond to plants and animals not only with love and great affection but with true caring of their needs and then watch how all her attention soon pays off! Dotti is old school and is a very rare women in these days and times, you see when Dotti says she will do something then it's like being written in stone she takes her services very seriously be it either when it comes to being on time or obligations as prescribed by her clients. I only wish that I could be as disciplined and well rounded a person as to what I have witnessed in being around Dotti through all these years and with that said I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her in taking care of any prospective clients needs!

Information Dotti L. would like to know about your pet

Tasha (Mastiff), Sox and Abby (Schnauzers), Bella (Hound), and Lilly (goofy LOL) are 5 dogs I sit with regularly. I bring my camera they are so darn cute (reference available) Another client has two huge dogs Rufus and Dodie, I walk along the ditch banks, and dear Ruby (Corgi). This family also has a bird and goats that keep me busy. (reference available via text or phone) Another client has a VERY SPOILED (lol) cute as the dickens, puppy Boston Terror (LOL), way aggressive German shepherd who I manage nonetheless, and a pit bull cross, who I adore (reference available). I work for another individual with a darn nice pit bull. (reference phone or text) I live on a 3 acre farm located on a bird refuge, with a menagerie of misfits (all rescue animals), including my husband and I LOL.

A typical day

I am a very quiet person but you would catch me talking with your pets and plants. I absolutely am not a corporal punishment person. It doesn't matter what language your pet speaks (kitty, llama, goat, ostrich, emu) I'm fluent in their language. I bring the pets in out of the heat and cold, feed them on time; and look into their eyes when I pet them. They are welcome to sit on my lap, and sleep at the foot of my bed. Note: I put 100 miles distance; but am available for farther assignments provided I can take the Roadrunner train or client pays transportation fees.
