Personable Animal Lover

Pet care experience

Educator by day, dog sitter by night and weekends! Fun, friendly, personable, enthusiastic, caring, respectful. No I am not describing the traits of your dog, but I am describing the traits of someone who would treat your pet/s like one of their own! I have grown up with animals my whole life; having lived with dogs and cats as a child, and having raised some of my own animals as an adult (a pair of male guinea pigs named Dosio and Mimzy, a male tuxedo cat named Neo, and my current dog Rufus who is a Pit/Terrier mix that I adopted from a shelter in September this past year). I work at the university level full-time during the week, but don't let that fool you, I have experience with animals as well! I was a former animal companion manager at Petco for over 2 years; where I grew familiar with all dog breads.

I strongly recommend Derek! He is a very kind soul and very responsible. I have used him to take care of my little wiener dog and she just adores him! I have also trusted Derek with a house key while watching my dog without any incidents. I have observed Derek with his own puppy and you can see the way his own pet loves and adores him! If you should decide to entrust Derek with your fur babies, you can guarantee they will be treated and loved as one of his own! I wholeheartedly recommend Derek and would refer my personal friends and family to use him without any hesitation!
