Dogs are my spirit animal

Pet care experience

I have spent my entire life around everything from pups to old pooches that barely move to their water bowl. I have pet sat for over 7 years cats and dogs alike, as well as geckos! Animals are a passion of mine and I aim to give any pup that comes my way the best care I can. In many cases, I would say I love dogs more than humans and consider all of them my four legged friends. As for my availability, I am currently unavailable for mornings during weekdays due to my school schedule unless extremely early in the morning. Weekends are wide open including Friday afternoon. I look forward to running in circles and chasing balls with your dog, since I'm part dog myself.

Derek A. is a animal lover since he was little. He is very responsible & dependable. Derek will take excellent care of your furry little babies & give them lots of hugs. Derek would be a great choice for the job.

Derek has been the best dog sitter and house sitter I've ever hired! I left my pup and house with him for a couple of weeks during my vacation to Iceland and I think my dog likes him more than me now. He sent me updates throughout the trip along with pictures to show just how happy and floppy my sweet Thomas was. Would definitely and highly recommend Derek!

Information Derek A. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences because no breed is vicious by nature. Any dog can be vicious given certain living conditions. My love of dogs sees no breed disparity.

A typical day

I enjoy running as well as long walks on the trail near me apartment. Also, fetch and playing with dogs was a staple of my childhood and became a hobby with friends' dogs.
