Doug did an amazing job with our puppy. He was very gentle and kind with her. It was our first time using Rover and first time leaving her for the weekend and I can honestly say I didn’t worry a bit. Highly recommend Doug and hope to use his services again.

Doug has become one of pur dog's favorite people!! She is always pleased to spend time in his home when we are away. Doug also is very conscientious about her feedings which are a bit complicated. So glad to have found him!?

He took such great care of my little pup! When I picked up my dog after his first 4 day stay with Doug, he was happy and settled (he is a sensitive dog! So I know if hasn’t been well with someone). I’m so grateful, Doug was wonderful!

I am so thankful that we found Doug. Our little dog Freddy has a lot of unique needs and we have trusted him with Doug for years now. Good guy, good caregiver.

Doug always goes above and beyond keeping Milo! It’s great when our dog is excited to stay with his favorite Rover.

Safety, trust & environment

There’s community property where pets do their business, we’re required to pick up poop. All dogs are leashed to avoid issues. Leashing required in Hoover.

A typical day

Wake up, take potty, eat. I’m retired M-Thu. I work some on weekends, but we can go walking on trails, go to the dog park, check out the neighborhood, whatever’s good for the dog. Stay inside because of allergies? That’s fine too. Dogs like me and I like dogs. Needs: medication, concerning or special behaviors (excessive barking, fence jumping, quirks)
