Availability

I work from home with a house set up to accommodate dogs and a very large backyard. I am available 24/7 to take care of, walk, and care for your pups when needed. We'll enjoy going on good walks throughout the neighborhood and any potty breaks needed throughout the day. I can of course accomodate specific requests and routine variations.

Safety, trust & environment

At my house we have a fenced in yard and my roommate has a friendly 1 year old Chihuahua who lives in her room which has the ability to be partitioned off from the main house in case your doggo doesn't like extra company. I take extreme care to ensure safety comes first while providing a comfy and loving environment.

Pet care experience

There's a new culture forming! Dog culture! Lol. But it is one where human culture is interacting with the burgeoning dog care needs. While doggos are learning norms of behavior that are appropriate for interaction on more and more fronts of our society, and humans are learning to adapt and enjoy this new dog society. I facilitate these interactions with playfull, gentle, thoughtful, mindfulness and a deep understanding of the dog's needs, guided by love and leadership. These opinions were informed from having raised three dogs over the last 20 years; a toy breed Maltese (which needed extra special attention for his safety), a medium sized energetic very intelligent American Eski female who needed a lot of activity and attention, and a larger mixed breed neutered male who was just the best good boy ever. With that base of experience I recognize the nuances of doggo behavior & their various needs in order to guide and watch them safely.

I cannot recommend this pet sitter highly enough! I needed someone on very short notice to watch my 16 year old little Bella and he stepped in without hesitation. From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in caring and capable hands. He took exceptional care of my sweet little Bella, making sure she was comfortable, happy, and well-loved while I was away. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was clear that Bella was being treated like part of the family. When I picked her up, she was relaxed, happy, and obviously well cared for. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and trustworthy to care for your pet, I wholeheartedly recommend him. I am incredibly grateful for his help and will definitely use his services again in the future! Thank you again, Douglas!

Douglas took in my Cookie with 24 hour notice and was so sweet to him! He walked us through the home and backyard when we dropped cookie off, there's plenty of space for dogs to play! Got an update with a photo every day and Cookie got along super well with the other dogs staying the same weekend. I would rebook Douglass in a heartbeat!
