I roll around on the grass too

Pet care experience

I love all animals, but never got to have a dog growing up due to my parents' allergies (damnit you guys!) Grew up with two cats. I've spent time working on a farm with horses, goats, pigs, you name it, but ultimately our best friends our the doggies. Who really knows why they love us so much, but I just go with it. Right now I'm looking to make some extra money doing something fun, and my friend told me he's really enjoyed walking and sitting dogs on here. I'd love to have a dog one day when I have a bigger place and a family (I want a German Shepherd, Malinois or Golden, but have no problem with small dogs). Until then, I'll live vicariously through you if you don't mind. I have free time most weekdays right now, as I've just finished my last role at Seattle start-up. I'm currently doing some freelance work remotely, and this. I live in the Sammamish area, so anything there, Issaquah or Fall City is a piece of cake for me to get to in my car. I'm open to exploring opportunities in Bellevue or Redmond as well.

We left our dogs in good hands. Doug made us all feel comfortable off the bat. He was very professional but also warm and caring. He took on the task of taking care of our new puppy. He had her walking on a leash while we were away. I would highly recommend Doug for both pet and house sitting.

Doug has a natural penchant for animals. They respond to him. He likes to play with them, give them attention, and exercise them. He takes good care of animals.

Information Doug M. would like to know about your pet

I'm pretty open minded. Neurotic, shy, big or small; it doesn't concern me. I trust you to tell me everything I need to know beforehand, and I'll do my best to make sure your dog gets what they need. I don't freak out about cleaning stuff up either. If a dog is aggressive toward people or other dogs, I need to know this beforehand so I can make sure I don't put them in situations that would cause them stress or make them act out. Again, please communicate with me honestly, and I'm sure I can handle most of what might concern you.

A typical day

I'm an active person. I'm a big Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner for about a year now, and it keeps me in the perfect shape to run, dance, roll, and crawl with your furry friend if need be. I can take them walking, running, play fetch. If they have a favorite toy, I'm happy to take that out with them to a park, I really believe open spaces are the most fun, and am happy to transport them there myself. Beaver Lake Park, Sammamish Commons, and some trails around Duthie are always fun options. Tell me about a place you go to with them! Depending on how long they need to be taken care of, I can spend time with them as needed, while balancing any commitments I might have. This will all need to be discussed with you beforehand, so we have clear expectations.
