Pet first aid and CPR certified

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets since I was a young child and have four of my own. Your fur babies will be in great hands. I have a special needs cat that needs medication daily, so I am comfortable administering meds. I am available seven days a week to care for and play with your pets. I’m usually available on short notice. I offer drop in visits, house sitting and dog walking.

Derek was very kind and sweet and won over our shy doggie. He took excellent care of our dogs and we would absolutely book him again.

We are thankful for Derek!! We’re a repeat customer & will continue to be! We booked him back to back weekends for check in visits/feedings/play time. Such a relief for us to know our dogs are taken care of while we’re away. Our dogs have so much fun with him, gives them so much attention they are so happy when he visits. Thanks again!!

I was so nervous to leave my young puppy, but Derek was great and put my mind at ease knowing our puppy was in good hands. I really appreciated that Derek took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand as well so that he could get to know our puppy and go over any specific instructions we had. Will absolutely rebook with Derek in the future!

Information Derek D. would like to know about your pet

It is important to me to do a meet and greet before I start caring for your fur babies. I use this time to get to know your dogs/cats so they are comfortable with me, in addition to learning their individual routines and care that they require.

A typical day

I play fetch, and tug of war. They get a lot of attention. I will take them for walks, with your permission, in addition to potty breaks.
