When Doug told me he was applying for this job - it hit me! This is not only the perfect job for him but the ideal job. Doug as a friend started to help me out by walking my 4 year old pitbull named Lilo for me when I'm stuck working late and has done an impeccable job. When I come home she seems so much more happy and free to see me rather than anxious for me to take her out. And I have major trust issues with others walking my dog - she is incredibly hyper and unpredictable and he is like a Lilo whisperer. He knows how to walk her, keep her calm, and above all be her friend! When I ask him to walk her - his answer is never hesitant - its always, yes! of course! He is 100% a dog person and deserves this position, the dogs deserve him. Someone who is their friend, not just some guy who walks them time - to - time. A dog walker is someone who is just as excited to walk and see the dogs in their care as much as the dogs are excited to see their walker - and thats Doug.

Doug dog sat for my chihuahua Snuggles last summer. Snuggles is somewhat nervous and high-strung, so I was concerned about leaving him with someone he didn't know. Doug was patient and loving, and in no time He and Snuggles were the best of friends. I can also be a little nervous and high-strung, and was pleased to find that Doug was highly communicative, and was happy to deal with my check-ins, which were nearly constant at first. All around, Doug is a gentle and intuitive dog-lover, whom I trust implicitly to provide great care for your dog.
