FREE WALKS!!! 💪 🐕🏃♂
Pet care experience
💰 📈💲🤑 FREE WALKS!! 🐕 🐶 🐩 🚶♂️ 🏃♂️ See below for details: Save money on weekly walks! I’m offering 5 walks for the price of 4. For a LIMITED TIME, book 5 walks with me and get one walk FREE!!! Again, that’s 5 walks for the price of 4 when booking a weekly walk!!!! 💰 💳 Please do not hesitate to reach out and inquire about weekly walks or any other service. Thanks for viewing and for using Rover. 🐾 🐾 Focused on providing an outlet for high energy and athletic dogs who need to get their extra steps in. If you think your pup may benefit from a few extra walks per week (or per day!) please do not hesitate to contact me so we can start planning to get your pups active TODAY!! A good walk can help behavior, appetite, sleep and obedience. A tired dog is a happy dog!! I really enjoy providing this service. We can do exercise-focused walks at a fast pace or regular sniff-around walks at a slower pace. 🐾 🐾 I can't remember a time when I didnt love animals. Dogs have always been my best friends and an important part of my life. I've yet to meet a dog that I can't get along with. I've come across difficult dogs, no doubt. But it's all about how you communicate with them. I seem to understand them and in turn, they understand me. I genuinely care for them and I feel like they know. I don't cut corners when it comes to caring for my pets or anyone else's pets. I'm responsible, reliable and trustworthy. If you're looking for someone to watch your pups with the same kind of love and care that you have for them, I'm your guy. It's not all about the money with me. Giving owners the satisfaction of peace of mind is a reward in itself!

Information Derek D. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know of any past displays of aggression and the type of aggression whether it be human/animal/dog aggression so I can take proper precautions. Food aggression (can be really crucial info when caring for a multiple dog home). Breathing problems. Allergies. Injuries. Medication and how and when to administer. Experienced with children or not. Just general preferences of your pups. No detail is too minute! Please feel free to inform me of everything and anything you can think of to help me help your family out!! No breed preference, I love all dogs (and animals).
A typical day
I focus my energy into making all animals in my care feel as comfortable as possible! I try my best to stick to their routine... Feeding schedules, walk times, play times, bed times and everything in between. I do not mind sharing my space at all! If they want to hop up on my lap or nap with me on the couch etc, I welcome it! In fact, I encourage it if that's what they do with you! I am a firm supporter of parents leaving an instruction list or notes about care for their babies. More details the better. I like having some kind of reference point in case something slips my mind I can always check the care notes!
