Responsible, Experienced Pet LOVER

Pet care experience

I'm a huge animal lover and I've cared for all different types of pets my whole life. By age six I was in charge of three cats, one dog, an aquarium, snake and hamster. I volunteer weekly at the AAH Farm where my family and I care for Goats (large & small), Chickens, Bunnies, Ducks, Pigs, Tortoise, Sheep, Mini Horses, Doves, Guinea pigs and Alpacas. I look forward to meeting your sweet animals and showing them a good time. I have a ton of energy and will run and play with your loved ones for hours. I am a well respect family oriented person who gets great joy out of helping people in anyway possible. Please feel free to call, text or email me at anytime. Warmly, Derek the animal lover. :)

Derek is awesome, this is our 3rd time leaving Myles with Derek. Myles seems to be use to him and Derek always makes us feel Myles is always safe and in good hands. We love all the updates and pictures he sends us.

Thank you, Derek! Floyd came home happy and healthy. Loved all the photos of him out on his daily walks and park time.

Derek is the best! He took such great care of our pup while we were away for the week. He sent lots of pictures and updates of all the fun they were having walking and at the park. I always feel like my dog is in great care when he is with Derek!

Great service and sends lots of pictures and updates! Derek went above and beyond to give me assurance that my dog was in safe hands during a trip that came up last minute. Will definitely be using again!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m very keen on the safety of your loved ones and belongings. I’m a people pleaser so it would devastate me if anything were to happen in a negative manner. I have been entrusted into some of the most beautiful homes in the Bay Area and World to watch after clients loved ones. I coach for the Special Olympics year-round and I’m also on the Board of my daughters PTA.

Information Derek H. would like to know about your pet

I love all animals! I would like to known if they have been socialized with other animals, children and adults. If they have separation anxiety or any other needs I should be aware of. Most importantly what are their favorite toys, activities and music they like to chill out to. :)

A typical day

I love to go on walks, runs and hikes around the neighborhood and all over the bay. If the pup is well socialized we can check out the dog parks/fenced schools and play fetch in an enclosed area. My safe home and yard are the ideal place for your beloved family member to feel welcomed, loved, engaged and at ease until they are reunited with you. If I’m watching your loved ones at your home it depends on your settings. I swim with some clients. :-)

I raise my children full time so my schedule moves with them going to school and their activities. I’m a huge volunteer in the area. With that said I’m normally not stuck at one place for too long. This gives me the time to spend with your loved ones. My husband is also very involved with our children and a pet lover. He helps me when he’s not selling homes.
