Dog Walking Summit Village

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have had a soft spot for animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve joked that animals understand me better than people do, so being around them feels pretty natural to me. I have an 11-year-old Labrador with medical needs, which has taught me a lot about being patient, paying attention to the little things, and giving senior pets the extra care they need. I’ve also enjoyed walking and caring for the dogs of friends and neighbors over the years. I’m a calm and gentle person, and I think pets pick up on that. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and for you to have that same peace of mind. I’ll take the time to learn their routine, get to know their personality, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also send you updates and photos during visits so you know how they’re doing and can feel a little more connected while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pups and give them the attention they deserve. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., seven days a week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and take my time with each visit rather than rushing from one appointment to the next. I enjoy having a flexible schedule because it allows me to make pet care a priority and be there when you need me. Whether your pup needs a good walk, some playtime, or a little extra company during the day, I’m happy to be there. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my first priority. Before a visit, I’ll take the time to learn about their routine, personality, and anything I should be aware of, including medications, feeding instructions, or behaviors. When I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, follow your instructions closely, and keep an eye out for anything that seems unusual. I’m also happy to send updates and photos during each visit so you know your pet is safe, happy, and getting the care they need.

“Dorothy was wonderful! She was friendly, reliable, and took great care of Daisy during her walks. Daisy was always excited to see her each day and clearly enjoyed getting out for exercise and plenty of time to sniff and explore. It gave us peace of mind knowing Daisy was in such caring hands. We definitely would recommend Dorothy for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!”

About: Your pup will love the fact that he/she can run and play and get one on one attention. I love to take care of pets and know just how to make your pets day fun and stimulating so when they come home they can be the warm fuzzy friend you love! I am a stay at home mom so I have open availability. Did I mention I take hikes?!? Yep that's right folks...a dog sitter that will actually take your fur baby on an adventure when you're at work! I personally have been training pups since I was 15 years old, so that will be a part of the daily activities. If your fur baby has special needs that is fine too! My mom and I have been involved with Muttville for years! Pittbull and other (“aggressive”) breeds 110% welcome!! I use that term EXTREMELY LOOSELY! I will host any breed of dog, I do not believe it is the dogs breeding that causes aggression or biting. Most times it is just inexperience on the humans part or fear on the dogs part. Feel confident bringing your pup to stay with me, I monitor all activity and continue to reinforce your training expectations while you’re away.
