Pet care experience
About us 👋 Hey we’re Doug & Catherine and we’ve professionally fostered and taken care of dogs for the past 4 years. We also both grew up with dogs at home. We love that we get the ability to give dogs a safe and loving home (even if it’s just for a day!) We are comfortable leash training, helping dogs through any trauma and dealing with dogs who are timid around other animals or humans. We also don’t mind big or small! ✨BEFORE BOOKING PLEASE NOTE ✨ • If you’re a new client we kindly ask that you request one doggy daycare before booking any long term boarding to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. We have many regulars who we’ve built strong relationships with and want to make sure we can do the same for any new pups too. • We only look after one rover dog at a time and also have no dogs of our own. So yours will be the only one in our home.
Reviews
Doug and Catherine took great care of Emmylou! I appreciated the pictures and updates they sent. Emmy was comfortable with them right away, and they were patient with her when she got anxious about going outside. Thank you both!
Doug and Katherine do a great job caring for our active and slightly anxious dog. They make her feel comfortable and get her to settle in a new environment. They actually read our notes and follow all our directions which is greatly appreciated. They are communicative and friendly. Will absolutely use again and recommend to anyone.
Thanks again Doug and Katherine for taking great care of Bean!
Doug and Catherine were so great about consistent updates and photos and being flexible when my pick up was delayed! Diego is the calmest and happiest he’s been after I’ve left him a sitter so thank you again 💛

Home
Information Doug M. would like to know about your pet
Let us know any special things about your dogs. We’ve had experience with high energy, playful and social dogs, to dogs that have trauma and are scared of traffic/other dogs and people. As long as we know up front we’re happy to work through it with your pup!
A typical day
We like to get up early and go for coffee and a walk in transmitter park. We’ll then get back home for breakfast and start work. Generally we need frequent breaks to get up from our desk and walk around - taking a dog for a walk is perfect for this. In the evenings we’ll often make dinner and sit in the backyard or visit a dog park to play and run. If we stay in, we’ll watch a movie but always make sure we get at least an hour walk in the evening. We love cuddles so if you’re dog is open to it we’ll often enjoy time with them on the couch.
