Dog need a walk or run?
Pet care experience
I am excited to help anyone that needs their dog walked, ran or played with. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid (I’m 36). I’ve cared for family and friends dogs ranging from giant Great Pyrenees to small Chihuahuas. I have two rescue pups and a rabbit at home. Have a pup with tons of energy? I’d be thrilled to take them out and run! I have experience with senior dogs that need to walk slow as well. Feel free to message me and I’d be happy to help out!
Reviews
This was our first experience with Rover and Derek was amazing! We really appreciate the fact that he ran instead of walked with our dogs (2 golden retrievers with high energy) and we will definitely be booking again! I highly recommend him!
Great communication, and my dog loves his walks with Derek.
Derek was amazing! I had to find a sub for our regular sitter/walker, Amanda (also amazing). I was very nervous because Scout has lots of quirks and Scrappy is very skittish. But Derek was very patient with both dogs, and communicated every visit to update me on how they were doing. My dogs really like Derek, and they can often be leery of men. I think he was even able to pet Scrappy (skittish chihuahua who hides upstairs). Thats like a miracle :) Thanks, Derek! You are awesome!
Thank you sooo much! Scout is really warming up to you. We appreciate your kindness with him :)

I have two very friendly senior Chihuahua mixes at home with a fenced in yard. I’d be happy to walk your dog anywhere in the Folsom area.
Information Derek L. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs I should know about. I’d be happy to walk/run, whatever they like. I’ve even cared for a blind dog.
A typical day
I will walk the dogs and run with them if they’d like to stretch their legs a bit! Let them sniff around and play. I’ll throw toys for them to fetch, whatever they like to do!

Availability
I am available most weekends for drop ins and walks. I will keep my Rover calendar updated to reflect when I’m free. I had to end my weekday availability due to work time requirements.
