What pet parents are saying...

Dori goes above and beyond. I got loads of photos. She also cleans the sheets and towels before she leaves and other tidying up. I feel like I’m leaving Fiona with a very responsible caring adult.
Fiona
Kathy H.(Fiona)
Dori is our trusted and amazing dog walker to our husky, Luna! After each walk, she shares updates about how Luna did and the route. She is a consummate professional who goes above and beyond to take care of our dog. Her prices are very fair. If we have schedule changes, she is super flexible and willing to accommodate. We would be lost without Dori and so grateful that we found her. Trust that your dog will be in loving and caring hands. Thank you, Dori!
Luna
Starra P.(Luna)
Walks with Dorian have become our dog's favorite part of the day! Dorian is reliable, punctual, and always cheerful. She connects well with our dog and manages the interactions with all the different pet personalities in the neighborhood to keep the dog safe and happy on their walks. We will surely be using Dori Tails as our first choice for pet care!

Dori has been a fantastic dog walker! She is always punctual and takes great care of my dog, who absolutely adores her. My dog comes back from walks happy and well-exercised, and she always provides updates and is easy to communicate with. I trust them completely with my dog's well-being. Highly recommend!

Dori is amazing with our girls! They can be a handful! Whenever Dori comes to stay with them while we're out of town we come home to happy, healthy dogs. Five stars from Pria and JoJo!

Dori is so knowledgeable about dogs, particularly those who are hyper when meeting a new person, like mine. I really appreciated her calm demeanor and loving care for my Pitty girl.

Dori was amazing with our senior dog and our home. She left our house cleaner than it was and kept us updated on our dog daily. We would definitely contact her again to care for Loulou.
Loulou
Tati A.(Loulou)
Dori took really good care of our furbaby, Shiloh. She was very responsive and shared updates and photos while we were away. Liked her so much, she’s watching Shiloh again for an upcoming trip. Would recommend!
Shiloh
Jon M.(Shiloh)
Dori was great with our animals while we were away! One of our dogs recently had two TPLO surgeries, and she carefully followed all the complicated instructions (even clarifying the protocol when we accidentally left conflicting instructions and giving us a heads up about running low on his meds). When we came home, our space was cleaner than before we left. All in all, she rocks!
Diego
Alyssa S.(Scooter, Meadow and Diego)
Dori was amazing! She went above and beyond by being responsive, friendly, understanding of flight delays on our way home and taking care of our home and most importantly our dog. We never had to worry if he was being taken care of, loved or snuggled. Highly recommend!
Drea

Super communicative, and loves dogs! Everything went super smoothly, I got all the information I needed, and I felt safe with my dog in Dori’s hands.
