Bo’s first time with Douglas.. it could not have been better. I never leave Bo but Douglas made it easy. He sent pictures and videos and you could see Bo was having the best time, he love that yard he could really run fast and perform 😊 And before we left Bo got up behind him on the couch and put his head on Doug’s shoulder a final head scratch and I’m pretty sure he was telling Douglas THANK YOU!

Doug was fantastic with Champ. He stayed in communication with me and sent several cute photos of my baby.

We needed someone to care for my mom’s 16 year old poodle while we went on a family vacation. Douglas did a wonderful job of caring for Rosie and dealing with the quirks of a senior pup. He sent many updates which kept my mom feeling calm and happy that her dog was doing just fine in her absence. We would certainly use him again!

Schedule

I'm a recent retired man in good health, with lots of extra time, who loves dogs. I get most of my exercise by walking and gardening. I have a Chihuahua/Terrier mix who gets along well with other friendly dogs, big and small.

Safety, trust & environment

In my house, dogs are treated like the gifts from God that they are. Your pooch is allowed on the furniture here, and I have a large fenced in backyard for play. I am a very responsible, kind and loving man who you can feel good about leaving your cherished pet with.

Pets

A typical day

I will play with your pooch, brush their fur if wanted, and play fetch. I live in a nice neighborhood for walks with a park down the street. Dogs can sleep in their own beds, on the couches, floor, or on the bed in my spare bedroom. Access to the backyard whenever they like. If your dog is good on a leash I will walk them.

The most important things to me is knowing if your dog is friendly with other dogs and people. When does your dog like to eat and what are their likes and dislikes. What special needs they might have. Character traits.
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.
