Fridays and weekends available!

Pet care experience

Care is mainly available Thursdays night-Sunday evenings. I've lived with/raised collie/chow mix, black lab, dalmatian/terrier mix, 2 shih tzu's, and 3 siberian huskies. I've interacted with retrievers, labs, chihuahuas, malmutes, Rottweilers, Grey hounds, bull mastiffs, great Danes, and Yorkies. Every breed has thier quirks, but they are our lovable fur babies. Dogs need plenty of loving attention, socialization, command work, and excersize. This will result in a healthier, enjoyable family member with less disobedience and destructive behaviors. Me and my wife live in a newly built (2016) 4 bed 2-1/2 bath home in New Lenox. You won't have to worry about cleanliness being an issue for your pups. We do have 2 1-yr old spayed female siberian huskies that have been in 7 different 6-week training courses! Emilia our red Siberian Husky became the first dog in her class to officially pass the AKC canine good citizen certification. Mali our black Siberian Husky got a very close 9/10 but didn't like us leaving her sight and cried for mom & dad it was sweet. They both love to play with all kinds of dogs and socialization permitting your pups will have playmates!

Doug did a great job with Hogan for our weekend trip! We communicated well with quick responses and even sent updates and pics while he was pup sitting! Doug’s girls are sweet and everyone got along well. Thank you for taking great care of Hogan!!!!

Douglas and his wife made leaving Lincoln a little less painful! They were GREAT!! They took the time at the meet and greet to make sure that both of their girls would get along with him. They are very communicative and have a great space. They are very patient and very kind, their dogs are AMAZING. Such sweet girls. They all gave me peace of mind while on my trip. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Lincoln with Douglas and his family again. HIGHLY Recommended !

Douglas has always had a dog as a companion begining at a young age. He had been taking on responibility in caring for his family dogs for many years. In september he brought home two female husky puppies at the age of 8 weeks. He has since been working hard to train them and bond with them as they work through their puppy stages. Douglas is dedicated, compassionate, and most of all fun loving when it comes to caring for his dogs.
