I’m currently in the works of building a “CATIO” for my 4 cats so they can enjoy the outdoors more and have a big fenced in yard for my puppy to enjoy!
Information Derek F. would like to know about your pet
If you could tell me if your dogs have any issues with getting in their personal space, or any other issues that may be of concern, that would be greatly appreciated!
A typical day
I typically like to run around with my pets, take them on walks, even the cats in a stroller. I have a lot of toys for mental stimulation for my own personal pets and am also pretty good at training dogs!

Pet care experience
As a lifelong pet lover with extensive hands-on experience, I provide personalized, compassionate care that truly sets me apart. I share my home with four Scottish Fold cats and a Dalmatian, giving me firsthand knowledge of managing pets with diverse needs and temperaments. My role at 9-5 Pets has further refined my skills in caring for a variety of animals, ensuring that each pet receives attentive, tailored care. Clients trust me for my reliability, professionalism, and deep commitment to their pets’ happiness and well-being. Whether it’s a high-energy dog or a shy cat, I create a safe, loving environment that feels just like home.

Reviews
Derek was so great with my nervous pup, Wrigley. He was very communicative and provided regular updates throughout the overnight stay. When Wrigley was scared, he comforted him and was able to calm him down. Definitely one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever had!
I don’t have an easy dog, and Derek cared for him so well! He was very responsive, shared lots of pictures, and was helped create a calming atmosphere for my dog. I would definitely hire him again!
Derek was an amazing caretaker for my pups. He was on time, sent plenty of pictures, and stuck to the schedule the pups are on. One of the nights he was watching them, one of my pups had some tummy troubles, he immediately let me know via a message then followed up with a phone call when her condition hadn’t improved. Thankfully she was fine after all, I truly appreciated his efforts to keep me up to date on the good and the bad during his stay. I would happily book him again!
Derek did another excellent job with Juni. So happy she has found someone to take such great care of her.
