Information Dottie D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any specific needs, allergies, behaviors, medicine or any other special care. I enjoy taking care of senior dogs or dogs with health issues and giving them the extra care and love they need.

A typical day

I want to keep your dog entertained and enriched during our time together. Unless their needs are different we will go for 2 shorter walks daily AM and PM and one hour long hike if they're trained off-leash. I also utilize food puzzles, kongs, chewy treats, licking pads and other toys to keep your dog happy as long as that’s okay with you.

Dottie continues to impress! After some boarding that was done at her place, she has now done a long weekend of dog/house-sitting for us. And it went great! We love Dottie's attention to detail, clear communication, and boundless care for our pup. Super grateful to have made this connection!

We are so happy to have connected with Dottie! Dottie has taken care of our French Bulldog Toby via both boarding and house sitting. Communication and expectation setting has been clear and comprehensive, from getting acquainted in the beginning through to our returning home. We were regularly provided with updates, and great questions were asked to ensure Toby’s needs were met. Dottie was thorough in addressing Toby’s daily physical therapy, and he even seemed in better shape after his stay! This has all put us completely at ease when Toby is in Dottie’s care. On top of all this, our home was left spotless and plants well-nurtured. We have already rebooked. Thank you again, Dottie!
