I am available Monday through Friday for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in activity visits.

Doug here for your Dog
Pet care experience
I grew up caring for my neighbors’ dogs whenever they were out of town, and I have continued to build hands-on experience with dogs throughout my adult life. Over the past ten years, I have cared for two high-energy pit bulls, which has strengthened my confidence handling active, strong, and playful dogs. I am friendly and comfortable with dogs of all types, and I consider myself a reliable and attentive dog walker. As an Eagle Scout, I value responsibility, trust, and treating both people and animals with respect. I have also trained my current dog, Bowie, through Kabler Dog School, and I strive to follow their best practices when caring for my own dog and any pets I work with.
Reviews
Doug was great with Milo! Since Milo is so small we’re really careful about who we leave him with, but we never had to worry. It was obvious he was well taken care of and got plenty of attention. Doug took the time to learn Milo’s routine and all of his little quirks, which really meant a lot to us! You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches and treats them like they’re his own. He’s great with dogs of all sizes, and we felt completely comfortable knowing Milo was with him. I’d definitely recommend Doug to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog. Don’t let your dog miss out on a fun time with Doug!
I have known Douglas for over 20 years, and I can say without hesitation that he is one of the most responsible and loving pet caregivers I've ever met. Throughout all the years I've known him he has always had dogs of his own and cared for them with incredible dedication and genuine affection. His dogs have always been happy, healthy and well loved, which speaks volumes about the kind of caregiver he is. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with your furry family member, Douglas is your person. You won't find anyone more attentive, dependable, or passionate about animals!
Doug is an absolute lifesaver! As someone who is incredibly protective of my fur baby, I can be pretty particular about who I trust. Doug stepped in to watch my dog, and from day one, it was obvious he treats every pet as if they were his own. He is incredibly reliable, communicative, and goes the extra mile to ensure your pet is safe and happy. Getting photo updates during the day gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Doug to anyone in the Asheville area looking for a top-notch dog sitter.
