Availability
My household has 2 dogs that i am responsible for. I feed, bathe, and exercise both. Occasionally i also sit for extended family's dogs, since they are less friendly and i do very well with them. My wife and i sont have children, so our dogs fill that role in our lives.

Information Derek J. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to meet your pup ahead of time just to make sure we connect well, but I'm confident I can befriend any dog I meet.
A typical day
While I don't have a yard of my own at our apartment, we do have a fenced dog agility course that I could take your pup to. Dogs are also welcome to stay over at my home, or go on frequent rides with me in my car, if they like to ride along.

Reviews
I appreciate how at ease Derek is with animals! He is wonderful with my schnauzer Pearl! Thank you Derek! I’d highly recommend him
Derek Agreed to a super last minute request & was so wonderful!! Went above & beyond
Derek has been fantastic. He utilizes the full 30-minutes and goes walking and incorporates play time in there as well. He provides daily report cards. I plan to keep on using him daily.
Derek was very helpful and my dog loved him. He goes extra mile to not only look after the dog but took good care of the house too. My dog is not friendly to new people, but Derek was able work well with him. He was super attentive to his needs. I would highly recommend him.
