Safety, trust & environment

If your request requires me to enter or stay in your home, I would be very respectfully of your space and property. Any rules you'd set is what I'd follow to the T. I'm 8 years into my military career, with intentions to make it a 20+ year career I'd retire from, I have too much to risk over doing something silly.

Information Douglas J. would like to know about your pet

Tell me about any particular care you'd want your dog to get, so that way they don't miss a beat! I have my own "oddball" ways I like to take care of my dog, so no judgement at all! Get as nitpicky as you feel you need to!

A typical day

With me, at bare minimum you're dog will go on a daily walk and potentially a car ride for the to sniff the area around. At most I can take your dog to a dog park, or work on some obedience training that would be included in my rates. And there's everything in between as well!

Pets

Guaranteed top notch care

Pet care experience

Back in New Orleans, I was one of the top 5 most trusted and satisfactory Roover Sitters in the area! I've handled everything from cats, dogs, and even a pig! Please check out my reviews! ______________ I've had dogs for as long as I can remember, few times in my adult life I've had two at once. Currently I have one dog, who is partially disabled. So I can handle just about anything. From special care medicine application, to puppies! I'm a full time service member, working on Marine Corps Base Quantico. Depending on your request+distance from my job, I can tend to your pet during my lunch hours, on top of before and after work. I currently live in an apartment and I'm unfortunately not able to board any extra pets at this time due to lack of space.

Douglas did a great job caring for our pet! His communication was excellent throughout the stay, and we really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it gave us real peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for pet. We’d absolutely book with Douglas again!

Douglas was great with our dog Tigressa! He kept us updated with photos and was super easy to communicate with. We felt totally comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!
