My experience

As my older sister will tell you, I started dragging home stray cats before I turned 3 and although that habit stopped, the love of animals did not. There has never been a day in my life that I have not connected in some way with an animal

From the moment I met Dorothy I knew I had met someone who truly loved animals and would be a perfect match for our 20 month old Cockapoo Bogey. We had never entrusted our home to anyone to live in before (except for family) or to care for our puppy so, this was a decision we did not make lightly. Upon meeting Dorothy she offered us information and references of her previous house and dog experiences and was always willing to answer any questions we had. We found Dorothy to be professional, friendly, reliable and respectful and highly recommend her for pet and home sitting. While we were gone, Dorothy went out of her way for us and even took Bogey to his grooming appointment so I wouldn't have to cancel it! Grateful to have had this experience with this lovely woman who has combined her love for animals, travel and friendship and is able to share those qualities with you the minute you get to meet her!

Why I want to house sit

I can no longer have pets because of condo restrictions, but do love to spend time with them. Free time and the desire to explore new places makes pet and house sitting a desirable situation for me.
