I love dogs...AND cats!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Doug. I'm a freelance film worker who's been rescuing and raising dogs and cats for most of my adult life. I already pet sit for most of my friends, so I figured I'd give Rover a try. I have a two beautiful kitties. I don’t currently have a dog. I lost my Fiona in February, and I’m just not ready for another yet. I love caring for animals. To me, it's so much less stressful on the animal to keep them in a home while you travel than in a kennel environment. I have a house suitable for boarding a couple of more dogs at a time. If you'd like boarding service for dogs, I just have to be sure they're cat friendly. Your pet won’t just be cared for at my house, they’ll be loved! I WILL ONLY BOARD DOGS THAT HAVE BEEN SPAYED OR NEUTERED. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Without a doubt the best sitter/companion that my girl Tangent can have while we are away.

Information Doug S. would like to know about your pet

If your pup has any special needs, I’m happy to accommodate. I have a ton of experience with administering shots and pills to dogs. I also have stairs so they can get up on the furniture (if that’s ok with you…)

A typical day

Play, play, play. I love dogs, so your pup will get plenty of attention and love. I also don’t believe putting your hands on a dog in anger is EVER ok.
