Pet care experience

Dougie Loves Doggies!

For me, the joys of pet ownership came a little later in life. I grew up in a home with my parents and 3 older brothers. My mom deduced that a house with four boys and a grown man didn't need any more animals! In the 90s, I worked with the local Humane Society and was overwhelmed by love and empathy that I felt for the animals waiting for adoption. Since then, I've jumped at any chance to walk or care for the pets of my friends and family. There's nothing like the feeling I get when a shy or frightened animal lets its guard down and begins to trust. It melts my heart! My wife and I currently live with Molly Mae. She's a gorgeous 14 year old Chihuahua / Italian Greyhound mix and she's a walking, licking, mood-lifting machine!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a quiet, gated community which is ideal for walking dogs safely. The surrounding neighborhoods are quiet with very little traffic. I have also had many mural jobs where I have been granted access to client’s homes and businesses and have earned a solid trustworthy reputation.

Doug was absolutely fantastic. He is an excellent communicator and kept us abreast of how our girls were doing. 10/10 would absolutely have him stay with our girls in our home again.

Doug did a great job with Max! He watched Max for 6 days and when we returned we could tell Max was well looked after. He also sent pictures and updates and let me know about Max’s upset stomach. I would call Doug the next time I need a sitter and recommend him to anyone I know!
