Professional, Caring and Honest.

Pet care experience

I have been an animal and nature lover all my life. Being with and caring for animals is just part of my DNA. I have been taking care of other people's pets privately for well over 20 years. I have also been working with animals professionally for 20 years. I helped socialize and care for abused and neglected cats and dogs at a local animal shelter for 9 years. Part of that time as the assistant manager. I helped hand raise endangered baby Western Lowland Gorillas and train Snow Leopards at a zoo. I worked at a animal hospital. There, I helped assist in all aspects of the medical field and I also walked the fields of Africa learning wildlife management in Kenya and Tanzania. I have a well rounded animal background but I'm always striving to learn more. I will provide reliable, caring, detailed and professional pet care. I will take care of your pet just like my own!

Derek has been my cat sitter for almost two years. He is a true animal lover and understands my cats' needs. I trust him completely and can relax when I'm traveling, knowing that my pets are being well cared for. He is completely reliable and comes to my home in all sorts of weather. He takes his responsibilities to care for my fur babies very seriously. I highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for some one to care for their animals, whether it be for daily dog walking or longer term pet sitting.
