Safety, trust & environment

Whether in my home or a client’s home, the pet’s safety, comfort, and well being always come first. I follow their routine closely, maintain a clean environment, provide attentive supervision, and ensure they feel secure and cared for at all times.

Information Douglas B. would like to know about your pet

Hi! Before I watch your dog, I just want to make sure I have all the important details to keep them safe and comfortable. Could you please share their feeding schedule and portion size, any allergies or medications, vet information and emergency contact, and their typical daily routine? I’d also love to know about their energy level, walk preferences, triggers or fears, how they do with other dogs or people, commands they know, house rules, and any behaviors I should be aware of. The more I know about their personality and routine, the better I can care for them.

A typical day

I’ll do whatever the space allows, from indoor enrichment games and sensory training to backyard fetch, neighborhood walks, basic obedience practice, puzzle toys, socialization, cuddle time, and calm wind-down routines to keep pets mentally stimulated, physically active, and feeling safe and cared for.

DJ took wonderful care of our two Golden Retrievers while we were away! From the beginning, he was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. DJ kept us updated and sent lots of photos. We wouldn’t hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

Douglas was such a great pick to hang with our pups and care for our home while we were gone. Our pups like to keep things interesting and Douglas’s patience with them is not only appreciated, but is admired, especially when it came to caring for our senior dog. We would gladly welcome Douglas back to our home, and I know the pups would love that too.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
