Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pup’s New BFF
I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I’m patient with shy pets, energetic with playful pups, and attentive to senior pets who need extra care. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or special routines, I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and cared for.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I provide fresh food and water, regular walks or playtime, and lots of affection. I also make sure to keep your home tidy, respecting your space while keeping your pet happy and safe.
Ratings and reviews
Derek was great! Highly recommend his services and we will definitely be asking Derek to help again! He was communicative, timely, and reliable taking care of our pup. Thank you Derek!
Derek was amazing with our three pooches. Will definitely be rebooking!
Derek was incredible! He took care of our Berner, Chewy, over the Christmas holidays on very short notice, and he was punctual, communicative, and best of all Chewy loved him. We will definitely be asking him to take care of our big guy again, thank you Derek!
Derek did a great job with our cat and Shepard. Would hire again!
Derek was so amazing with our beloved Luna. He took care of her over an extended period of time and was very reliable and attentive. Luna is our 8 year old active German Shepard. He took her on long hikes, kept her groomed and regularly sent me updates while I was away. You would be lucky to have him look after your pets! Derek is one of our go-to dog sitters when needed.
Derek is a great pet sitter, and has watched my cats several times. I know he watches several of his other friend’s dogs as well, for a few years now. He is always faithful and on time, and the animals love him. Derek would make a great dog walker!

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of my day. I plan my schedule around walks, feedings, and check-ins, making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need. Caring for animals isn’t an ‘task’ for me, it’s part of my lifestyle.
