Experienced/good-natured dog owner

Pet care experience

Grew up with animals and have always considered them to be a member of the family. Due to recent events I no longer have a dog so the best way for me to be around them is for me to take care of yours! I love all dogs (big and small breeds). And like people, no dog is perfect. I’m perfectly capable of taken care of dogs who are on their best and not so best behavior.

Derek for years now, has looked after my dogs. He has always taken care of them like they were his own or better. He’s one of the few people I would be ok leaving our pets with for days or weeks at a time. One thing I appreciated in particular is I’ve had dogs that are considered “aggressive breeds” and this was never an issue.

If you are looking for reliable, dependable, compassionate, and trustworthy care for your pets Derek certainly is my first choice. Being an outdoor enthusiast he loves taking dogs for walks. And the dogs are always excited to see him. Plus he is neat and tidy! I always feel confident to come home to happy pets and a clean house!
