Safety, trust & environment
We make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and exercise, with a minimum of three outings a day—often more! My home is equipped with gates to safely separate dogs if needed, ensuring a stress-free environment for everyone. We enjoy daily visits to the large dog park across the street. Plus, I’m happy to send pictures and updates whenever possible to keep you connected with your furry friend!

A typical day
Your dog will have a blast with us! We have playtime with your furry friends at least once a day with plenty of toys. We also have nose walk matts to ensure they're always entertained. While my home offers a relaxing environment, your pup will also enjoy exciting outdoor adventures. They’ll get at least three walks a day and have the chance to run and play at the large park nearby or in my community’s fully fenced dog park. My goal is to keep them happy, active, and fully engaged throughout the day!

Pet care experience
Your dogs are in good hands! We've been surrounded by dogs our entire lives and currently care for our own dog. We also have experience volunteering at a shelter, where we developed a strong understanding of dog behavior and training. My home is in a dog-friendly community with a small, fully fenced dog park and a large dog park just across the street—perfect for outdoor fun. We are excited to welcome your pup and provide them with all the love, care, and attention they deserve!
Reviews
Derek did an amazing job of taking care of our super-anxious rescue pup. She usually doesn’t let anyone pet her easily but we were so glad to see how comfortable she was with Derek and his dog. He also sent timely updates with pictures/videos, gave some great feedback about our dog’s behaviour and shared some tips and tricks. Will definitely book again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pup!
Thanks for taking care of my Leo so well. We got lots of updates everyday! Derek has been very flexible in dropping off and picking up schedule. We will definitely book again when we have travel plans!
Derek did a wonderful job taking care of Kopper! He was timely with replies and sent regular updates and photos. He was professional with all our communications. I felt safe leaving Kopper in his care. Thank you for taking care of our boy!!
I had such a great first experience leaving my baby with Derek and Francis! They were amazing and very responsive. I was worried at first since I have never left my dog with a sitter and how anxious my little one he is adjusted well with them! They kept me updated and sent me pictures of my dog while I was away and it was so reassuring knowing they were in good hands. I would definitely trust them again if I needed a sitter!!
