Pet care experience

Your dog’s home away from home!

I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds my whole life. As a teenager, I began taking care of dogs for folks in town that would go on vacation. Since then, I’ve often been the go-to guy for several friends and family that trusted me with their beloved pets. I’ve always found it natural to get along with dogs, even dogs that I was told didn’t generally take to strangers well. I’m more than happy to take care of all your dogsitting needs and hope to become your pup’s new best friend!

Safety, trust & environment

I understand how different dogs can be in personality and energy, and can provide care accordingly. I'm just as comfortable lounging around the house as I am walking to the park or just wandering the neighborhood. I am sensitive to the needs of your pets and am always willing to assist in providing proper care when it comes to feeding for your pet or attending to their basic needs. If your pet has a specific diet or routine that needs to be attended to I am happy to give you my full effort to make them feel at home.

Cole did a great job pet sitting for our two pups. One is very high energy, which was no trouble for Cole. The other is diabetic and needs insulin. Cole didn't have previous injection experience but was willing to learn and up to the task. We came home to two happy and healthy dogs and would definitely use Cole again.

Cole has watched our dogs a couple of times, and he’s done a great job. Both dogs are nervous, and he’s been very gentle and patient with them. Our dog, Jack, also had a lot of health problems, and Cole was able to keep up with his meds. I would recommend Cole as a petsitter.

Cole would provide safe, loving care and exceptional customer service because they are patient, attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely compassionate with animals and people alike. He has cared for my corgi multiple times, who had some behavioral challenges, and handled those needs with remarkable calm, consistency, and understanding. Cole was attentive to my dog’s cues, respectful of his boundaries, and created an environment where he felt safe and cared for.

Cole sat for our 2 very needy small dogs several times & they both LOVE him! He sends us pics of them while we are away & we always know our fur babies are cared for with Cole. He loves animals & they seem to love him as well. He even let our babies sleep with him because they are used to sleeping with us when they nap. He took them on walks & made sure he understood their feeding instructions. Highly recommended him for any of your animal babies!

Cole Dugas, has been a pet sitter for my dogs on multiple occasions, and I have always been really pleased with the way he has cared for my pets. He has fed them timely and made sure to walk them on their schedule, but most importantly he has earned the trust of my dogs though his kind treatment. Even when we added a third member to our pack Cole has ensured to carefully help our newest loved one assimilate as easily as possible through consistent care.

Schedule

I currently live a very pet friendly lifestyle. I can provide care during morning, afternoon, or evening hours. I can easily fit my schedule around the needs of your pets as I am frequently out in the neighborhood parks and on walks with friends both quad- and bi-pedal alike.
