Pet care experience
Anyone who knows me knows that i love all dogs. I have two of my own currently, Stella, a 7 year old shitzu terrier, and River, a 10 month old borador who are super friendly will be happy to meet your fur-friends! We don't have a yard, bit our complex has both a free roam dog area, and an agility course if your pup likes a challenge! I offer frequent walks and play time and i love meeting new friends at their homes too! Im a simple, normal guy who loves spending quality time with dogs petting, brushing, or even tug o' war! I've had a lot of success with training my own pups and would be happy to help you teach yours some new tricks or obedience commands. Stella is a trustworthy off-leash dog who can show your pups the ropes in a safe environment if you approve. My girlfriend, Ashley, and i just recently moved to Lexington from Northern California (Chico) to be nearer to family, and I'm taking this chance make new friends along the way! We previously had two dogs, but our boy Arlo passed away in August, leaving us with Stella, or as we like to call her, our "lil mama", and now our baby boy River, or as we like to call him " lil Bug". With no kids, our dogs are a huge part of our lives and we do our best to teach them good manners. Someday soon, i hope to add a new friend to our little family.
Reviews
Derek was timely and professional and asked many questions in order to be better prepared for my dogs’ individual needs. He was very flexible when my plans suddenly changed and bonded very well with my pups. I would have him come back anytime!
Derek was prompt, responsible, and most importantly took care of our dog like his own. He went the extra mile to make sure our geriatric dog got all his medications and special attention he needed and fed our fish that we completely forgot to tell him about. I could not recommend Derek with all your pet sitting needs.
Derek has taken care of my dog Leia on multiple occasions and done an amazing job. He's very accommodating, communicative, and he loves animals! His dog is very well trained and even my dog (who can be a bit territorial at times) got along fine with her. Highly reccommend him to anyone looking for someone to trust their fur babies with 😊
Derek has helped out with my dogs when I’ve needed him and done a great job. He is very responsible and timely and is caring towards them. I would highly recommend him as a dog sitter!

Information Derek J. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to meet your pup ahead of time just to make sure we connect well, but I'm confident I can befriend any dog I meet.
A typical day
While I don't have a yard of my own at our apartment, we do have a fenced dog agility course that I could take your pup to. Dogs are also welcome to stay over at my home, or go on frequent rides with me in my car, if they like to ride along.
