Pet care experience

I have over a decade of experience working with dogs, cats, and all manner of reptiles. I have an affection for larger dogs, especially bully breeds and am able to handle them well on leash. On house visits and walks I can help provide basic obedience, leash and potty training for dogs. For cats I can provide feeding and litter box cleaning during the day. I'm also very experienced with reptiles such as snakes, bearded dragons, geckos and more; I can provide feeding and cage maintenance. I own a 5 year old mixed breed dog who can help socialize your dog during doggy day care or boarding, or I can bring your pup to the dog park for their walks. I have a very flexible schedule and am willing to work with yours. I can provide pick up/drop off as early as 5:30 am for services. I'm passionate about working with animals and will provide your pets the very best care that's available. Semper Fi, Derek

Derek is great with animals, he has a wonderful passion for animal care. He is well versed in K-9 obedience training, potty training and can turn a stubborn dog into a well behaved dog on the leash. Derek is also able to handle the larger dogs and especially loves to work with misunderstood breeds. He also has experience with reptiles and has considerable knowledge from volunteering with reptile shelters so he understands the demands of feeding and taking care of your beloved pet.

I frequent the dog park here in San Angelo which is a 2 mile round trip walk. I also go out to the San Angelo State Park often to hike the trails with my own dog. If your dog is HIGH energy I can help wear them out!
