Pet care experience

Hello, I’m Derek. Several years ago, I had the opportunity to rescue my pup, Faith, and raising her has been the greatest experience! After rescuing my dog, I started fostering different canines here and there until they could find permanent homes. I love dogs and am thrilled to be able to meet and interact with more as a pet sitter. I grew up with dogs and cats and have had Faith for the past four years. I enjoy being around just about any animal. If possible, I like to I take my pooch with me whenever I go out. I also take her on frequent walks through my neighborhood and down to the park. The park near my house is right on the water, and it makes for a beautiful walking route. I look forward to spending time with your dog at home and out and about on walks or runs around town. I’m an active, caring, and passionate person. When I head out of town and can’t bring Faith with me, I like to know what’s going on with her. That’s why I want to provide high-quality, reliable pet sitting services. I always make sure my human clients get regular updates on their pup during our time together. Your pooch will be treated just like one of my own until you get back! I have a full-time job that currently takes up my afternoons, but I’m free in the morning and late in the evening to check on your pet. I also have Saturdays and Sundays off, so I’m mostly focusing on pet sitting on the weekends.

Derek was quick to respond to our last minute booking. He kept us up to date on how Malachi was doing with text, pictures & videos. Malachi seemed like a happy camper & enjoyed his stay. I will definitely ask Derek to watch Malachi again & highly recommend him.

Derek is great with dogs and very friendly. He’s watched both my dogs, one large and one small, and he is great with Both. I’m really luck to have someone I trust to take care of my fur babies.

Information Derek L. would like to know about your pet

Before looking after your pet, I’d like to know about their favorite walking routes, eating schedule, exercise requirements, and general temperament.

A typical day

I love playing games with dogs and teaching them new tricks. I also know important it is to get down on their level and play with them on the floor. I live in Old Northeast, and I consider it one of the greatest neighborhoods in town. It’s the perfect place to take pups on walks, and there are also some excellent dog parks nearby. I work full-time, but I’m available for pet care in the mornings, late evenings, and on weekends. If you decide to allow me to watch or walk your pooch, I'll make sure they are taken care of and treated like part of my family. My goal is to make sure they have all the attention they need until you return home!
