Letting dogs be dogs

Pet care experience

I started taking care of dogs when I was 8 and have loved it ever since. I have taken care of Small dogs and big dogs. I will give each dog the attention he or she needs. I give 150 % to each dog I take care of. I love taking dogs to the park and taking long walks around the block. Playing with dogs is a specialty of mine. As a previous pet owner I understand the responsibilities of taking care of dogs and cats while the owners are away. You can rest easy while your dog is with me. Any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me and I will not hesitate to answer you. Thank you for considering me as your pet care taker.

Derek and his family were absolutely fantastic! I was nervous about leaving my dog for three weeks, while I was out of the country, but Derek was prompt and sent updates. My dog was very well cared for, and seemed like he had a ton of great company while I was gone!

Derek was absolutely wonderful! Very sweet person whom my dog loved, the children as well! A wonderful experience all around. Already planning the next visit!

Great experience, overall. My dog came home relaxed and clean. Also, he had tons of fun, apparently - he's been sleeping for 2 days in a row after staying with Derek, I don't mind it at all :)

Derek watched our dog for 5 days and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. He kept in touch and sent updates/pics and our dog was well cared for. I would definitely recommend Derek if you are looking for care for your dog.
