HERE FOR YOU, and THEM.

Pet care experience

I am here for not only your pet, but for you as well. I am devoted to making your life stress free, and making your pet more than gleeful. I have worked with the infamous, Highrise Pet Care for about three months and counting. I have done numerous house sittings, potty breaks, dog walks and cat visits over the past couple of months and I am very familiar with the process of getting to know the pet in question and the owners as well. I have great reviews in the short amount of time working with Highrise Pet Care, and I am more than happy to provide references if needed. I am willing to welcome more pets into my care, provide a safe environment for all pets, and leaving you feeling content with the service I provided. Thank you.

Derek has been walking our lab mix Millie for about six months. To say Millie loves Derek is an understatement! She is always so excited to see him; it's clear Derek always takes very good care of her. Derek always takes her for a nice walk. He is incredibly punctual and responsive. In the past when he has had questions, he has always reached out. Videos and pictures of our pup from his visits are always an added plus! We cannot recommend Derek enough.

Derek is an animal lover who is exceptionally reliable, communicative and trustworthy. Derek has worked as an employee at my company, Highrise Pet Care, for several months and it has been an absolute delight to work with him. I would be happy to chat on the phone with any of Derek's prospective clients to provide them a more complete picture of how great Derek is as a pet caregiver.

Derek is one of the most highly motivated, caring, and energetic pet care workers that I’ve had the pleasure of knowing—I cannot recommend him enough! I have had plenty of dog-sitters who were uninterested and who let routine slip, but Derek is organized, devoted to his work, and astounding at keeping my 2 pups in great shape and good health.

Derek frequently walks my dog Dexter. He's consistently reliable, trustworthy, and always follows special instructions if I give them. I never have to worry about Dexter's care when Derek is walking him. His love of dogs is apparent from the detailed updates he provides me about Dexter's walk along with a photo and video of Dexter. I would highly recommend using Derek.

A typical day

There is a park not too far from where I live so if we decide to venture out, it's a great spot. If not, I have a spacious, gated yard where your loved one can roam about. We can play fetch, tug of war, and most importantly, HAVE FUN!!
