Active, loving, reliable

Pet care experience

I have been taking care dogs (my own and others) for the past 20 years and have been on Rover for the past 2 years and have had an amazing experience. Caring for animals comes naturally to me. I have a very flexible and available schedule, allowing me to give your dogs full attention! I live in Ocean Beach, less than a mile away from dogs beach and Dusty Rhodes dog park. Your dog will be treated like a king (or queen!) here. All breeds are welcome :) I love to stay active and take them out to play multiple times a day so they will definitely have a good time here with me. Looking forward to hearing from you, and meeting your pals! :)

Derby was so great with Isis. She sent pictures every day with updates. I felt like she was in great hands with Derby and her bf, Leo and didn't have to worry about her at all. I would highly recommend hiring her to take care of your pup.

Derby was great! She took care of our girls and sent us pictures everyday of them having fun. She also cleaned the house! Thanks again Derby!

Ever since rescuing our two dogs, we've gotten so attached that we get separation anxiety for leaving them for more than a few hours. You can imagine how we felt leaving them for a few days. After many nights of contemplating whether or not to cancel our trip or go through a boarding facility, we went with our guts to go with Rover and hope for the best. After many nights of searching and trying to find the right sitter, we're glad we found Derby, who happens to live half a block from us. Derby (and her roommate) were very accomodating to not only our dogs but also with us. Having to watch a dog let alone TWO can be much to handle, but they were kind and patient with us (yes obsessive texting for updates day and night) making our trip away from home and the dogs a lot less stressful. It was so comforting to know everything went well while we were gona and we could tell the doggos were just as pleased. We will definitely use her services again, for as long as they agree to. Thank you Derby and Jessica!

Derby took great care of Olive over a long weekend. I got lots of pictures and Olive got lots of walks and had lots of fun - she hardly noticed me when I came to pick her up. I would definitely have Derby watch my dog again.
