About: I have been taking care of animals for over a decade, as I started pet sitting and walking dogs when I was just 11! I have experience with most dog breeds in forms of walking, administering medicine, and elderly pet care. I am a recent college graduate and am working gig jobs, so I can always make my own schedule and flexible to others since I am not relying on a strict 9-5 job! In client’s homes, it is always extremely important for me to make sure there are no hazards where your pet can reach them! And above all, respect for your and your pets space!

I currently work full time but mostly swings shifts 3pm -11pm, so I am available before 3pm while most people are at work. I am also available for late night visits if needed. I treat every client's pet as I would my own. Creating a positive relationship with the animals I work with is most important to me.

About: Taking care of dogs started for me with my wonderful and energetic Airedale in my teens and twenties, and continues as a dedicated uncle to my sister’s 4 dogs (yes 4!). I am the guy my friends consistently ask to pet sit when they leave town. I also take pride in leaving your house as nice as when arrived. For long stays or short, I’m happy to help. I am currently working part time nearby and I am not planning holiday travel, so I’ll have plenty of time for quality visits with your dogs! Your pets and your home environment are important to you. I will exercise the utmost care with both and make sure you feel comfortable entrusting me with either or both.

I am comfortable handling animal reactive dogs on walks and will implement recommended training approaches on our walks. I am currently flexible in my work hours.

My dogs will miss their daily time with him! Thank you, Doug!”

Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Vivian did really great with Ollie on his walks. Ollie isn’t the easiest dog to walk as he’s really anxious about his surroundings but Vivian did the most to encourage him and made sure he got his steps in! She showed up on time for the 3 walks we had and sent pictures and communicates very well! Ollie usually takes a long time to warm up to new people but after his first walk with Vivian they were friends so I know she’s taking very good care of him :)
Deborah has been wonderful with our dog. Before starting walks, she took the time to come meet him and really get to know his personality, routines, and some of his quirky (and occasionally challenging) behaviors. It was clear right away that she has a very natural way with dogs and a calm, confident presence that puts them at ease. She has been especially thoughtful about helping him improve his leash walking and is very attentive during their time together. Because he has had previous injuries, she’s careful to monitor his behavior and energy levels to make sure he doesn’t overdo it, which we really appreciate. Deborah is patient, observant, and genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. We feel very comfortable knowing he’s in such capable and attentive hands. Highly recommend!
