Pet care experience
I have a bachelors degree in Animal Sciences from the University of Florida and my wife is a nurse. We both love animals and would share the care of your furry friend. I (Derek) worked as an Animal Care Technician in a veterinary hospital for a year. In that year, I cared for any and all animals ranging from pigs to parrots. I have also worked with breeders and groomers. I have done a wide variety of work including grooming, whelping, and emergency care. I have cared for dogs with diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), seizures (epilepsy), allergies, GI issues, and aggressive dogs. We have both cared for dogs of all ages so we understand a dog's needs at every stage of life. We enjoy getting outside with our own fur-kids and love going the extra mile for our clients! We are able to meet just about any need that your dog might have. Animals of all shapes and sizes are a passion of ours and we look forward to meeting yours!
Reviews
Derek and his wife Laura took amazing care of my pup, Joey. Joey is pretty particular about who she likes and has separation anxiety when I leave her, and I could tell she had an awesome time. She immediately zonked out when we got home, tired and happy from a great day, and was excited to go back the next day! Most importantly, I'm an anxious dog-mom and always stress when I leave my girl with someone new, and it is a testament to Laura and Derek that I barely worried about Joey all day.
Our dog had the best time with Derek and Laura who spent the week with our dog while we were on vacation. We loved the updates and pics they sent while we were gone too. We will definitely be working with them in the future and highly recommend them!
Communicated, took great care of my sweet boy!
Great communication and Stella had a great time! Cared for her as if she was his own. Will definitely use again!
