Information Doug A. would like to know about your pet

We only host dogs that are well socialized and tolerant of young kids. Potty training is a must. My boys are 3 and 5 years old.

A typical day

I will walk your dog. Also, I have a fenced yard, so they can go out for bathroom breaks as needed. My wife works from home and will help out as needed. Did I mention I like dogs?

Pet care experience

Dogs hold a special place in my heart. I'll be sure to look after your pet as if he or she were my own. I am a former owner of a Springer Spaniel, which is a high energy breed. I enjoy walking dogs and being around them in general. My wife grew up with a black poodle named Diesel. She works from home. We have a family with two small boys; 4 and 2 years old. It’s essential for your dog tolerate energetic kids and be well socialized. The kids love dogs and look forward to hosting them. My family and I are interested in participating in this program more for the pleasure of the experience, not the money.

Doug and his family were excellent caregivers for Max. They treated him like he was their own and sent regular updates and pics. I would highly recommend Doug and would not hesitate to use him again. Thanks Doug!

Was overall just ok. Would recommend to Doug for future hosting that the drop off and pick up times are reviewed prior to accepting requests. I think more frequent and more detailed updates would be beneficial as well, at least one per day.
