Pet Care With a View
Pet care experience
Growing up as a Midwest Farmboy, I have been around pets all my life caring for, feeding and nuturing from babies to adults. In my adult years, I have raised, trained and cared for two Golden Retrievers, one female Yorkshire Terrier, a recently deceased senior Labrador now running through fields of flowers in Heaven, and two high energy extremely intelligent German Shorthaired Pointers. I have studied and put into practice dog training methods for several decades resulting in well trained and behaved dogs. The property is private, quiet and provides a bountiful playground for my dogs and your dog. I walk my GSPs twice a day so your dog will get plenty of activity and an Energizer Bunny daily play date with my two GSPs. My dogs are my children as most people say...in this case since I have no children, they are truly such. I will care for your dog like my own providing love, feeding, positive communication, and security. This environment is optimal for a high energy dog with the outside meadow or a laid back dog that may prefer to lie in front of the electric fireplace. I have plenty of food bowls, dog mats, a padded dog box if your dog wants privacy and a minature condo of their own while here. I have experience in caring for my senior Labrador and past Golden Retrievers in their senior years, as well as raising all my dogs from puppies. I am responsible, responsive, positive, kind and also high energy.
Reviews
Doug was awesome! He sent tons of pictures and updates about my dog while we were out of town and was flexible about watching her an additional night last minute. My dog played outside with his dogs for hours everyday and she came back happy and exhausted!
Thank you Doug! Frida was nice and tired when I picked her up :) She had a great time.
Douglas is great with dogs. He's been around dogs since he's been a child. He currently has a 14yr old labrador who walks two miles a day. The Colorado air has done wonders for her. Douglas also has two German Short Hair Pointers who are full of energy. They are a 4yr old and 1yr old. He's very good at training his dogs and loves taking them on walks. Douglas is very disciplined and lives his life around his dogs. If you're looking for someone to take care of your dog while you are out of town, he would be the one that I would recommend.
