Capitol Hill Dog Walker

Pet care experience

Helped my parents raise 2 puppies when I was growing up and have been around dogs my whole life. Currently have been helping my partner take care of their dog in the 3 years that we have been living together. I am an experienced dog walker and am familiar with the area so I know of all the secret grass spots!

Derek has taken care of my Shiba Inu many times before with such a high amount of love and care! Shiba's are not the easiest to take care of, they can be stubborn and skittish, but Derek was always very patient with him and in a short period gained his trust. Now my dog is super excited to see Derek every time! I'd highly recommend him as a walker for your dog.

Derek is one of the first people I think of when I am in need of a trustworthy, attentive pup caretaker! We have an 8 month old rescue who loves spending time with Derek. She is learning the ropes and often exhibits puppy behavior, but he is incredibly patient and encouraging, as if she were his own. He can quickly de-escalate stressful situations and makes sure our pup feels safe. With his years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I am confident in recommending him as an animal caretaker - very reliable, attentive, and communicative.

Derek is my son and has been around animals since he was born. We've had a combinations of cats, dogs, and bunnies throughout his life. The dogs have all been larger breeds weighing 50 lbs or more and he has learned how to feed them, walk them and play with them. We currently have one dog that does not interact well with some other dogs and he has no problem taking him for walks and keeping him from engaging in unpleasant encounters. He will treat your furry friend as if it is his own pet and provide the love and confidence that makes an animal feel safe and secure.
