Just a guy that loves pets

Pet care experience

Hello there! I'm a dog sitter with five years of experience, and I've had the privilege of working at both a boarding kennel and an animal shelter. What sets me apart is my love for animals and my friendly, less formal approach to pet care. When your furry friend is in my care, you can expect more than just basic pet sitting. I genuinely enjoy spending time with your animals, whether it's cuddling on the couch, playing fetch in the backyard, or going for long walks in the park. I understand that every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to their individual needs and preferences. My experience at the boarding kennel and animal shelter has given me a deep understanding of different breeds and temperaments. I'm comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from the most energetic pups to the more reserved and shy ones. I've also dealt with various medical conditions, so you can trust me to administer medications or provide any necessary special care. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away from your pets, and I'm dedicated to providing you with regular updates and photos so you can see how your furry family member is doing. I'm here to ensure that your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for in your absence. So, if you're looking for a dog sitter who's not just experienced but also friendly and passionate about animal care, I'd be more than happy to help.

Douglas was great with our pup, Dolly. He checked in periodically and had great communication. Also, he left the house clean exactly as he found it, which is always a nice surprise. Will definitely be using him in the future!

Douglas was a wonderful sitter for our 2 standard poodles, cat and leopard gecko over the Thanksgiving break. He took the time to come and meet us and get to know the pets before he stayed at our home for 3 nights. Great guy and great communication before and throughout his stay. We highly recommend Douglas and would most definitely have him pet sit for us again.

Douglas was amazing with my special needs pup, Lefty. He was very accommodating and understanding with our requests, and al says made sure to send updates and pictures so we stayed in the loop on his care. I will definitely be brining Lefty back to stay with Douglas!

Whether it's a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood or an exciting adventure at the park, I'm more than happy to provide your dog with the exercise and outdoor time they need. During our outings, I'll make sure to keep your dog safe and engaged. We can play fetch, explore new scents, and enjoy the fresh air together.
