Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Derek took such wonderful care of our Zoey. Zoey usually gets very upset when our family leaves, so I was amazed to see him calmly sitting in Derek’s arms and letting Derek hold him. It felt like Zoey immediately knew that Derek was a kind and trustworthy dog dad. Zoey is very energetic and mischievous, but he is also shy and gets lonely easily. Derek treated him with so much patience and love, and it really meant a lot to us. Derek’s home was very clean, well organized, and spacious, which made us feel even more comfortable leaving Zoey with him. We were traveling to Japan and Derek took care of Zoey for 24 days. Throughout the stay he kept sending us photos and updates. At one point my iPhone wasn’t working properly and I couldn’t contact him, but he still continued sending updates about Zoey, which gave us so much peace of mind. We are truly grateful for the care he gave Zoey, and we would absolutely trust Derek with him again anytime we need help. We highly recommend Derek.
