Dependable Dog Sitting

I’m a dependable and caring dog sitter who truly enjoys spending time with dogs and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine and personality, whether they need lots of playtime or a calm, relaxing environment. I’m responsible, patient, and committed to following any instructions you provide, so your pup stays comfortable and well cared for. You can count on me to give plenty of affection, keep you updated, and treat your dog like part of my own family while you’re away. I would love to take care of your pup! (Millie loves friends)

Derek has watched my dogs on multiple occasions and always treats them like they are his own. He doesn't leave them alone for extended periods, make sure they have plenty of play time, and I always feel secure knowing he is watching them.

Derek D has been a devoted pet owner his entire life, and it truly shows in the way he cares for his dog. He genuinely enjoys spending time with her and makes her a priority in his daily life, never leaving her alone for long periods of time. Derek is always thinking about her well-being, care, and happiness, ensuring she feels safe, loved, and engaged. He actively looks for opportunities to provide her with a fun, playful, and secure environment, often connecting with other pet owners so she can socialize and thrive. Any pet in Derek’s care would be treated with the same level of attention, compassion, and responsibility as his own.

Derek is great with our crazy lab, River. He’s extremely patient with her, follows our care instructions, and most importantly loves her as his own. We know that when we’re gone, she’s in great care. I highly recommend Derek!

Safety, trust & environment

I work from home. Therefore, I am able to pay close attention to your pup, but most importantly, give them the attention they deserve! I will be able to take them on walks throughout the day. Millie loves other dogs. She loves to play with other dogs, but also knows when other dogs want to relax and chill. Your dog will have such a great time!

A typical day

I strive to stimulate my dog physically and mentally throughout the day. I take her on several walks and dedicated play time outside. I am a strong believer in providing the best life possible to my pup and that will be passed to yours as well.

Let me know if your pup needs any special care beforehand! I can certainly accommodate to what they will need to feel at home and comfortable.
