Information Douglas E. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.

Pet care experience

50 years of Dog owning experience. I love all dogs and feel as if I have a special bond with them. Your dog is safe and happy with me. I always felt bad putting my dogs in Kennels and my goal is to give your dog a loving stay where they will be treated like my favorite pet.

Doug was superb. We dropped our dog, Indy, off at his house for a 4-night stay. He asked great questions before her stay. He was very easy to work with, before drop off, and when I brought our dog to his house. I received regular updates on her stay, which included some pictures. When I picked her up everything was ready for me to bring back home. Indy looked as though she'd had a great time. Many thanks!
