Patient & Fun, A pet’s best friend!

Pet care experience

I have had the pleasure of being a dad to over 30 pets in my life, from month old kittens to elderly dogs, and I have loved every minute of it. From baby bottles to puppy pads when they’re old, I have seen it all—I even cared medically for my bearded dragon brothers! When it comes to caring for our four-legged companions, I am there for what they need with the patience required to calm their anxiety. The best reviews I get are from the animals themselves, how excited they are when I come back time and time again.

Duncan was wonderful with Jethro. He house sat for us for four days and Jethro was quite happy with him. Took excellent care of Jethro and the house. we will definitely use him again.

Duncan was OUTSTANDING! I hired him based on his outstanding reviews and the reviews are 100% accurate. If I could give him 10000000 stars I would. This was the first time I had ever left my two dogs - both of whom are seniors and have medical issues - while I traveled and I admittedly was very nervous to do so. But my worries subsided the minute I met Duncan. He was professional, punctual, and knowledgeable, but most importantly, he was kind. My dogs were at ease with him immediately and throughout my travel, I got updates and pictures of them on walks, relaxing, and even in bed with him! They LOVED him! Duncan was also flexible with my schedule and brought in my recycling cans as well. We are planning another trip for next year and will 1000000% be hiring Duncan! We highly highly HIGHLY recommend him - and so do my dogs! Thank you so much, Duncan! :)

Duncan is great! We booked him for house-sitting twice; once overnight and again for four nights. He took good care of our senior cat, gave him his medicine at the needed times,and was very accommodating to our schedules. Would highly recommend for house sitting!

Duncan went above and beyond for our dog and our home. He was very communicative and took great care to make sure we felt comfortable while away.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large, pet-safe house where your animal is safe to go wherever their curiosity decides, which commonly alleviates the nerves of a new environment. Our home is recently pet-free, so there will never be a conflict with your pet, and there are a wide variety of configurations where they can be kept safe for pets of all preferences: entire floors, rooms or even pet gates to keep them in an area for animals with restricted movement requirements. We have a mile long walking path and a large field for playtime when they need it as well. A better environment for a dog’s relaxation and fun couldn’t be conceived!

Information Duncan G. would like to know about your pet

Feel free to let me know any special care your dog needs: From favorite places to walk, to things that we should avoid, and all their preferences in between. In time, I will learn these along with them, but when caring for family, more information always helps!

A typical day

Keep a dog both mentally and physically stimulated is my specialty! Playing at the big field near my house is always a favorite, but a quiet, dignified walk is just what some dogs need—and who doesn’t love to stop and smell the roses?
