Doreen is amazing! Her love for animals is off the charts.
We used her services two weeks ago and I'm beyond happy I did.

My fur baby hates being away from home, so when we planned a three-day camping trip I knew I needed to have someone willing and able to come to us and someone I could trust to come into our home.

She came to our house three-times-a-day to love on Sienna and take her outside to enjoy the sunshine and a nice walk.

It made my heart very happy when a selfie of Sienna and Doreen popped up in my messages.

Doreen checks all my boxes!!

My wife and I had to travel and we urgently needed a trustable pet sitter. Doreen's Happy Tails came to the rescue, Doreen was able to accommodate us, she came to our home, took notes of the needs for our three Persian cats.

We didn't have to worry about our kitties during our travel, Doreen sent us pictures and updates of our cats. Thank you Doreen.

Outstanding! Doreen's Happy Tails really goes above and beyond. Doreen is so friendly and loving. I immediately trusted her with our pets. Our cat, who is especially difficult, took a liking to her immediately.

It's so hard to leave our pets. Doreen's thoroughness and professionalism are beyond reproach, and her dependability put our minds completely at ease while we were away. Her communication is exemplary. She listened to our needs and was in tune with our animals. We couldn't be happier. She did a fantastic job. I recommend her highly!

If I could give Doreen 1000 stars I would - she is beyond awesome!

I considered numerous pet sitters. She was the perfect choice. My special needs dog (senior, blind and dementia) goes crazy nuts every time she sees Doreen, absolutely loves her.

Dogs know good people. I came home to a happy, contented dog every time Doreen cared for her. Doreen is a true professional and a wonderful person who genuinely loves animals. I couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

When our regular house/pet sitter wasn't available, I searched and found Doreen through a Nextdoor recommendation. We first chatted about what I needed, these dates and in the future.

She came over for an interview and I was very impressed with her - very professional, loves animals, and my cat ‍was good with her /for her, so she's "Eddie-approved!" We received text messages and photos every visit and we could see how comfortable Eddie was with her.

Doreen is wonderful! She was kind, accommodating, thorough, and communicative. Her preparation and attentiveness helped me feel confident about leaving my cat in her care, and her regular updates alleviated a lot of worry. It is very clear that she cares about your pet's well being. Highly recommend!

Bev C. Lake Forest

So excited to leave a review for Doreen and her excellent happy tails pet services. Doreen is extremely caring and thoughtful as well as a good listener. She asked a lot of detail questions that provide her with a very personalized aspect for all services. She has provided day walks and visits for my two girls and extended stay (overnight) care as well.

She is my go to for sure. I am completely comfortable and at ease to have her provide great pet care.
