Highlights
Pet care experience
All dogalities welcome!
My dogs at home have always been my third sibling. Growing up with several type of dogs in my life, from rescue greyhounds to raising a boxer-lab puppy, I've met all kinds of dogs with all kinds of unique qualities. After moving into Boston, MA, I built a small group of dogs that I cared for over several years. While living in Portland, I was able to continue the trend of meeting new families all around southern Maine. Now that I'm back in Massachusetts, I'm excited to pick up where I left off - by meeting people, exploring the south coast, and playing with dogs. I have 20+ years of experience living with dogs, as well as 7 years of dog walking, and 6 years of dog sitting. I'm very happy to accommodate your pets needs, whatever they may be! I can't wait to meet your dogs and keep the streaks going!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My goal is to leave your house in the same condition I found it in.I understand that a person's house is very sacred and I don't want to disturb it! I've found that when staying at someone's house, I work best with a quick tour and a write-up of how you do things, e.g. where things go, what day trash is, what not to do, etc.
Ratings and reviews
Duncan was marvelous. He and my dog bonded immediately. Duncan was respectful of me, my home and my dog. I recommend him highly.
Super nice guy, very communicative and responsive. Very affectionate with out kitty cat. Unfortunately, he forgot our instructions for providing water, and didn’t give our pet any water for the first 3 days of our absence. He texted and asked if cats get their water from their wet food. Went and fixed the issue right away the next day. But it definitely concerned us that our pet had no water for that long, and it was clear he hadn’t had much experience with cats. Everything went totally great for the rest of the week stay though. Overall a decent experience, but we felt compelled to mention this issue.
Duncan has been working with our adult dog that has a history of fear-based aggression. Duncan has been kind and patient working with our dog to gain his trust and build confidence in the relationship. Duncan has been excellent about communicating with us to schedule visits and give feedback on progress. I would highly recommend Duncan for any type of dog!
Duncan was beyond professional in both the meet and greet and while staying at my home. His medical background and experience working at a major animal hospital made him the perfect choice. Hie left my home in perfect condition and communicated throughout my absence making being away from home stress free. 100% pleased and satisfied.
Duncan took great care of our dog, was super flexible with our needs and timing, and very communicative about how our dog was doing!
Duncan is very personable and my dog loved him as soon as she met him. When she forgot that she loved him (when he arrived when we weren't home) he patiently sat with her and fed her treats until she warmed up. He was very communicative while we were gone and they went on lots of walks together. We definitely hope to have Duncan dogsit again!
