Fenced Yard, Friendly Dogsitting!

Pet care experience

I work from home on the computer so I'm always available to give care and attention to your dog! I like going for walks and playing in the yard every day.

My dog loves Derek and actually pouts for days when I bring him home.

I have used a few rover sitters in the past and some didn't turn out as great. However, Derek was in great communication with video and photo updates! I was a little worried that my dog wouldn't get along with other dogs and Derek made sure to slowly introduce my dog to the other dogs before you know Oso was WALKING along side two other dogs and playing. Not only was it a great stay for Oso but it also was a great way to socialize for Oso. Derek's property has a fenced in yard which is awesome! I recommend Derek 100% and I will be using his services again in the future!

Great experience boarding our pup with Derek. Sent us a lot of pictures and video updates while we were away. Would definitely recommend him!

Derek is a great sitter! My dog Katie has really taken to him- I have no worries when I drop off my fur baby with Derek. Communication is great.

Information Derek L. would like to know about your pet

When I'm going to be dogsitting I like to know a few general things such as eating schedule, how your dog generally behaves around other dogs and people, any concerns about going on walks, any medications or special considerations I should take with them, and any of their favorite toys and activities!

A typical day

I love getting to know each dog and taking good care of them when they are visiting the house. I enjoy playing with the dogs regularly throughout the day and taking them on walks to ensure that they enjoy their visit!
