Safety, trust & environment

I am flexible and can take care of your pets with just about any arrangement. I have a car and can make multiple visits in a day, or I can spend my day and/or even my night with your pet. Because I have my own pets, I do not currently offer services at my own home.

Information Douglas M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any issues I should know about, such as how your pet interacts with people, how your pet interacts with other animals, health considerations, diet considerations, or how I can ensure your home stays clean and in order while your pet is in my care.

A typical day

I can take dogs on walks or to dog parks, and I can play games they like, such as fetch or tug of war. Happy to listen to any input on activities your pets like to do so that I can build a great relationship with them.

Pet care experience

I love animals and find that taking care of them is the most fulfilling part of my life. I have had cats and dogs for as long as I can remember, and have taken care of several other types of animals as well. I have experience with pets of all ages, and can administer medicine, do basic grooming, and more. I can also clean up any type of mess if necessary. I will treat your pet and your home with as much love and respect as I treat my own.

Douglas always takes such wonderful care of my senior kitties while I’m gone. They love when he visits. He’s the first person I contact every time I make plans to go out of town.

Amazing. Douglas was able to give our feisty cat subQ fluids, was attentive to other needs of an aging cat, and was very good at communicating.

This was my third time booking with Douglas and everything was great. My cats love him and I feel comfortable leaving them in his care when I leave. Highly recommend.
