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 are informed from raising three dogs over the last 20 years; a toy breed (which need extra special attention for safety), a medium sized energetic very intelligent alpha female who needed a lot of activity and attention, and a large breed very healthy 18 year old neutered male who was just the best good boy ever.
Reviews
Great dog sitting for our girl! Loved the updates and she was happy to go, would use again!
Douglas was amazing. Always keep me updated and sent me several pictures.
Great experience and dogs are well cared for.
Douglas is awesome. I have an extremely high energy working line malinois and an elderly dog with special needs. They are not the easiest pair to take care of and he was great with them, very communicative, and sent photos and updates. My house was in good shape when I returned. And my dogs seem very happy and well cared for. Thanks again Douglas!

Availability
I work from home and am available 24/7 to take care of, walk, and just love on your pups when needed. We'll enjoy going on good long walks and default would take them out at least once a day on a walk on top of any potty breaks needed unless specific requested to do a different routine.
