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
Cat 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 pet first aid certified 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.
Reviews
Doug was extremely helpful and flexible on short notice. He took notes and listened to all instructions. He did everything that was asked and more. He was on top of communication and made sure to send updates. I would highly recommend him to others and will be utilizing him in the future ourselves. Thank you Doug!
Doug is our go to sitter, he takes such good care of Rose. Highly recommend Doug. He cares for her like it is his own pup!
Rose loves Doug. He takes such good care of her while we are away. I never worry about her :)
Doug took great care of my cats when we were away for a 2 week + trip. He was reliable, considerate, responsible and paid great attention to details.
