Dog Lover with Large Garden
I am a lifelong dog lover, having owned dogs for many decades. Our lovable Trudy adores other dogs and will be much happier with other dogs in the house, which is one reason we've decided to board dogs on Rover. I will be the caregiver for your dog; the rest of the family will love and entertain your dog as if our own. Every dog is different, and we're happy to adapt to their routine and whatever their personality requires. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, gets plenty of attention, and has a great time while you're away.

Lovely family - Chester had the best time and came happy and calm. Would highly recommend 😊
Douglas took good care of my dog during his stay. A well exercised dog was collected and I’m sure he would be overjoyed to return for more fun. Thank you Douglas
Douglas and the family where brilliant with George, clear communication and most importantly great care of George. George, was very happy in there house, we've rebooked quickly and will do so again for any up coming holidays
Douglas and his family were great to Buddy. He was well cared for and really enjoyed playing with Douglas’s own dog. Would definitely have Budfy take his holiday with them again.
Douglas is very responsible and has had pets in the house for all of my life, from his years of experience he understands dogs and provides them fantastic care, I highly recommend him to be a sitter.
Doug is a very trustworthy and reliable when it comes to taking care of pets, as long as I have known him he has been very caring towards animals, he has spent majority of his life taking care of animals and have shown all of them extreme love.

Schedule
I work from home and so I'm almost always around, excepting an occasional night out. We have a large fenced garden and so we let dogs in and out throughout the day as they desire, depending on weather of course. We play ball, and chasing squirrels and such gives plenty of exercise. For winter rainy days, we do neighborhood walks instead.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We are almost always at home and keep an eye on the dogs throughout the day. We let dogs sleep in the TV snug on sofa or floor. When we are occasionally out, we bring them in the house, left to wander as they please. We open feed Trudy, but can follow whatever feeding arrangements you require.
Pets
A typical day
During spring/summer/fall, dogs are between the house and the garden most of the day (open door), playing, smelling etc. We play ball with them and supervise them as needed. Neighborhood walks on rainy days when the garden is too wet.
- 0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kgSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatDouglas can host up to 2 pets per night
- It's important that your dog is very friendly with both humans and other dogs. We will trust your judgement on this, but please don't book if your dog does not enjoy hanging out with another (very friendly) dog.
