About Doug G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Once hired, I get as much information about your cat(s) or dog(s) as possible - their routine, personality, favorite spots in the house, eating habits, health status, etc. I offer 30-minute visits. 60-minute visits are available for those pets who need extra attention.
Information Doug G. would like to know about your pet
Their daily routine, food preferences, personality, health status, medications, how much time outdoors, where to walk, behaviors, restrictions re: furniture and rooms they can be in, etc.
A typical day
Dogs live by their sense of smell - it's important not to rush them when walking. Other activities always depend on the dog's habits, routine, and personality.

Compassionate Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
Are you looking for a patient, compassionate pet-sitter with extensive animal care experience and reasonable rates? Look no further! I'm a former humane educator with a suburban humane society, where I also provided care for dogs and cats. I'm certified in pet first aid and insured. Over the years, I've rescued, adopted, and placed dozens of cats and dogs. Currently, I'm the happy cat parent to Miss Kitty - a feral cat who decided to move in with me ten years ago.

Doug also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Doug is conscientious and makes sure he knows exactly what is needed to look after my two cats. I have already booked Doug for a longer trip later this year and would recommend him to anyone.
We had amazing experience with Doug! Not only did he take excellent care of our two cats, but he also made sure our many plants were looked after - which is no small task! We also really appreciated daily photo updates - so much peace of mind to see our cats happy and well cared for. Would highly recommend Doug to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and caring pet sitter.
Doug was great with our cat! He spent a lot of time with him, taking care of all his needs and giving him a lot of attention! We can leave our cat in his care, knowing he will be well taken care of and we won't have to worry about him at all. We highly recommend Doug to take care of your pet, as they will be left in very good hands!
Doug was excellent - did a pre-visit and asked a number of questions to make sure he knew exactly what to do. He also sent photos during the visit so I could see the cats were doing well too. Will be requesting another series of visits!
