Pet care experience
What sets me apart for other sitters is not just providing services for your dogs, but also provide owners with a deeper understanding of their beloved dog. If you want to know why your puppy or adult dog begins to act out of the normal, please ask away! Most of my local neighbors do anyways 😀 The dogs in the pics are local friends that's stop on in to play and sniff around ! Also know that I understand care get pricey in financially tight times. If Rovers price is a bit high, just ask and I will see what I can do. Example: 1st timers can get a $20 coupon 😉
Reviews
Derek was very laid back, patient with my nerves and questions (first time using a dog sitter outside the family), genuinely has a love of dogs, and my boys came back TIRED but well-loved. Thank you, Derek! We'd love to use him again and already talked about it.
Did such a great job with my dog, keeping me updated, sending photos, asking questions ahead of time to make sure she'd have a great stay..... & that she did! She was definitely sad to leave. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again in the future!
Derek was excellent! He took great care of Artex and had him constantly outside and running around and playing at the dog park. He would send me lots of updates and lots of pictures of him. Would highly recommend and will definitely have him watch Artex again.
Our girl Dyna got plenty of exercise, playtime, and socialization with other dogs, despite several days of bad weather. We loved the photo & video updates while we were away and appreciate Derek’s attention to give her a fun filled week!

I have a corner fenced in yard with room to run and play. If they need more space to stretch out and run then we head to a dog park. As with my own dogs I am outside when they are outside. Same would apply to a clients home. For a example If you mention the dog can open the gate, then I'm going to watch for it!
