I’m currently schooling from home, so I have extra time to play with doggos! My schedule is very flexible right now as I can do my studies anywhere, so I can really work around what’s best for you.

Information Derek J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I may not be qualified for. If they have any allergies, injuries or sore areas, if they have spots they don’t like to be pet or scratched!

A typical day

I live near multiple trails and parks and could take dogs for as long or short of a walk as needed. There is also a dog park located at the park near my home if that is something that your dog enjoys!

I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid. From pugs to big mutts, I’ve had experience with a wide variety of dogs and love them all! Cats too!

When we met Derek for our meet and greet, we knew Skye and Scout were in great hands while we were going to be away! He was on time and was gracious to stay an extra night if we needed him due to travel issues; however that was not needed but being willing to do that was extremely appreciated by us. He sent us updates and photos during the stay and we knew Skye and Scout were happy! Thank you, Derek!

Derek was much appreciated! Our little Chesney did great with him. This was our dog’s first time being left at home, and not go to a kennel, while we vacationed. It was encouraging to return home and not have Chesney so stressed that he sleeps for 3 days. He had kept his normal schedule and was his usual “chill” self when we returned. Chesney was very comfortable with Derek, and for that we are very grateful!
