10 Years of dog training experience

Pet care experience

Hi there, my name is Doug and I am an avid dog trainer and have 1 dog of my own, a yellow Lab named Maverick. I live in a home with my wife Sarah, who will also be watching over the dogs. We just moved to the Nazareth area, but have been working with Rover for over 5 years. Sarah is a Registered Nurse and I work in sales. I have 5+ years of professional dog training experience. If you typically crate your pup during the day we ask that you bring the crate if your dog is staying overnight. We will only take doggy day care if one us is off of work that day. We do have 2 toddlers and so will only take dogs who are friendly around children. The house we live in does not have a fence. Our pup is on an electric fence with a collar. When your dog needs a bathroom break, they are always on leash with Sarah or myself. We take him and "rover dogs" on daily sometimes twice daily walks. We normally take dogs on about a mile and half loop and takes about 20 minutes. We also love taking Maverick to dog parks. He is a very social, friendly dog and has been our Rover ambassador for years. He gets along with dogs of all shapes, colors, sizes, and ages. If you have any questions please let us know.

Our whole experience with Doug, Sarah and their family caring for Oscar was wonderful. They shared updates and photo’s the entire time we were away. Oscar fit right in with their family and was treated like a family member. We certainly recommend them and will not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Great Rover family! Thank you so much. We feel at ease when Agnes stays with Doug and Sarah. And their dog Maverick is a sweet gem.

Above & beyond my expectations for first time using Rover. Doug & his family took our pup in and made him part of their family. Cant say enough about Doug & his family. We are using them again because they were so great to our pup.
