“Our dog Angel just spent a night with Doug at his home. Angel is a rescue and is very timid and in most cases afraid of people in general. Her visit with Doug was wonderful. She warmed up to him and had no issues while in his care. Doug is VERY knowledgeable about animals and his love for them shines through. I'm so happy to have found this awesome place for our dogs to stay in the future. SO much better than leaving your dog in a kennel where human contact is minimal. 5 stars to Doug! ! ! ! ! Thank you!!!”
“Both dogs did very well with Thomas. I would book with him again. Very flexible with pick up and drop off. Beautiful house and yard. I felt like they would be safe there.”
“Alexis is an rockstar sitter. When we arrived she was prepared and had a solid process that let us know she knew dogs. Her residence is an ideal setting to give you price of mind that your pet is safe and has opportunities to find a comfort zone. Expect great piece of mind!”

“Gabrielle watched our two dogs for us while we were out of town for the weekend. Highly recommend her, she was wonderful and gave me so much peace of mind! Will definitely be using her again to watch our pups!”
About: I worked at a free-roam high volume cat lounge for a year, where I lead a team of volunteers to take care of all the cats alongside me. Daily, I handled cats to administer oral medications, give fluids and vaccinations when needed. Very experienced and confident with handling cats of all temperaments, even with nail trimming!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Alpha
“I was very happy with Doug dog sitting. My dog Mabel was very nervous and he made her feel welcome. He was flexible on what time I picked her up and the layout of his home and backyard where Mabel could play was nice. I would recommend Doug as a dog sitter.”
“My young pup Stella spent the day in Lindsey's care. She sent updates and photos throughout the day. Stella was well-cared for and was one happy pup at the end of the day! Would definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve volunteered with dogs since I was 11, lived with large dogs my since childhood, and have been working jobs in animal welfare for 2.5 years. Working in a pet hospital, dog rescue facility, and a county shelter gave me a lot of experience and professional training with handling dogs of all sizes safely, especially anxious dogs. I was trained to administer daily medications and even fluids as needed. My daily tasks were feedings, cleanings, walking, and playing with our dogs. I am free Mondays and Wednesdays. I work from 8am - 6pm at the shelter on Tues, Thurs, Fri and Sat. I would love to house sit for a night or two if this schedule can work around you and your animals. While checking up on your dogs, I can play with them until they’re tired out and teach them basic tricks and commands. I have experience with anxious and reactive dogs and will treat your pet with compassion, using positive reinforcements. I’m a patient pet sitter and would love to spend time with your dogs and cats. I’m a photographer, ask me about bonus pet portraits!
