Doug did a great job with our corgi Frisbee. It was a last minute booking and he did everything to make it work. Took great care of Frisbee and sent photos. His dog Dingo is very sweet!

This was our first time with Rover, and it was a huge success. Dough made it easy for us, his setup is great, his communication is easy, and our dog was as comfortable there as she is at our own home.

Doug was so wonderful with our dog, Triss! Between Doug and Dingo, she had such a good time and made new friends. Doug’s house is clean, organized, and loved by dogs; he also is very communicative so I always knew what they were up to. We will be trusting Doug with our baby again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I'm in a townhouse with a fenced patio and the neighborhood has a park-like setting perfect for long walks. Well-trained dogs have the run of the house - even sleeping on the furniture - or I can crate them if that's what they're accustomed to.

Pets

A typical day

Your dog will enjoy long walks with lots of stops for sniffing and we often meet other dogs along the way. At home, we can play tug or fetch, or just enjoy long naps in a sunny window or on the sofa.
