Derek was a Godsend during the recent snow storm and sub zero temperatures. He came over and took Cooper for a potty walk twice a day despite the adverse conditions. He was punctual, thorough and dependable. And the best part was, he was obviously a dog person. Cooper loved him and would wait patiently by the door for Derek to arrive. He showed concern for Cooper’s wellbeing at each visit. I would 100% book him again. Thanks Derek!

Derek was awesome with my two babies. I have a senior dog and a puppy and so does he so it worked out perfectly. He sent me pictures and always kept me updated on how they were doing.

Derek is fantastic with animals, they seem to naturally gravitate towards him. Derek is very kind and compassionate, and definitely has a love for all animals. My dog absolutely adores him. I call Derek the dog Whisper. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

I am a high school teacher and coach, so I have time during breaks to get out and help families with their dogs. My goal is to create a somewhat routine with the families and dogs that I’m able to watch and care for. My dogs are part of my family, I like to take my small dog for walk’s, she has a large back fenced in yard, that she enjoys chasing squirrels… She travels with me a lot of places, and even has a harness and backpack to go motorcycle riding!

Information Derek H. would like to know about your pet

Sorry, but don't manage dogs that aren't housebroken. Also, will be crating the dogs when I'm out of the house. My dogs are very well mannered, but are high energy smaller dogs, one old and one young.

A typical day

Love dog parks and longer walks. Dogs need their walks, try to get a morning and a nightly walk in. I absolutely love the BarK dog park, and would love to work that into a longer stay, if possible.
