Pet care experience
I took care of and was responsible for my dad’s golden retriever for 7 years while my dad battled kidney disease. I also grew up around our family Westie & German Shepard in my home that were super attached to me. So I am very attentive to a dogs need for love and care when away from the owner. Also first time guests and last minute requests must schedule a meet and greet I use to be flexible with this but situations have happened that caused me no longer be flexible. In addition I do not accept any pets without a safe reliable comfortable crate. As I do not allow free roaming in my home when I am not present. Your pet safety is my top priority. Being in a new environment for the first time pets will be pets. They aren’t perfect. Feel free to ask me any questions if need be. **(For example old pictures of pet only to arrive and they are 3 times the size) - 100% we have to have a meet n greet prior to sitting. Returning customers the meet and greet does not apply. For last minute requests please contact me directly I will try my best to accommodate but please be advised there may be a fee associated depending on the circumstance. If you have any questions please set up a time with me to hop on a call using the rover app.
Cat care experience
Duane also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Duane was great! We had a meet and greet at the park near him. On the day of drop off Duane asked about any additional care instruction and throughout the stay kept us updated with texts and photos. We had a video call on the second day and could see Reed was doing well. We were thankful to have someone talking care of her while we were out of town for the weekend and would use him again if we needed a sitter in the future.
He was amazing! He took my fur bay last minute and kept me updated. I really appreciate him and next time I’m in town I’ll definitely look him up.
I left my dog Buddha with Duane for 4 days, and he was very nice by interacting with me each day. He sent videos of his daily walks with Buddha, and also allowed me to FaceTime him to check in on my dog. I would advise people to reach out to him if you want your animal in great hands, and I will definitely call him again to watch my dog.
This was our second time booking with Duane and we couldn’t be happier with the great care he showed our Havapoo, Chico! Thank you so much Duane! Chico comes home so relaxed after staying with you which confirms how well he is taken care of! Thank you for the daily updates and pictures while he was with you. We appreciate it and We highly recommend your services!
