Pet care experience

I'm Derek. I have been around dogs my entire life. I've had them in rural settings as well as very dense urban ones. i have one dogs, a nova scotia duck toller mix (Arlo). Prior to settling full time in Las Vegas, I lived on a ranch with Arlo so being around other animal species are no issue. I drive a very large SUV so I also provide transport services to and from appointments and/or dog parks, doggie day care, etc.I can also provide waste removal services. I used to volunteer with Bureau of Land Management so I am very familiar with hiking and offroading trails in Henderson and then eastsideAnd if there was a PhD in skunk smell removal, I would probably have one.

Our dogs had a great time with Derek. He sent us pictures and video updates of our dogs all through their stay. We felt they were loved and well cared for. We will definitely be rebooking with him!

Derek was friendly and great with our dogs. Despite normal anxiety while we were away, Derek was able to keep them happy and comfortable. The pictures and prompt message responses are great too. Would definitely recommend.

Derek was a great help and wonderful companion for Buster. We would certainly use him again in the future. He was professional, punctual, and very communicative.

Information Derek M. would like to know about your pet

The obvious questions first - Any allergies or health issues? Are they toy or food aggresive ? What sort of behaviors should I expect and what ones, if any, should I be on the look out for? Breed isn't a big deal for me I am most experienced with large breeds but i have good experience with chihuahuas and some smaller breeds too

A typical day

I like to go on hikes with my dog. He's very ball-driven too so sometimes we just find an open space thats not too busy and go to work. I like Sunset Park and a few other parks but its more about the atmosphere and how busy it is rather than the setting. Sometimes I'll just take my dogs for a drive around town so they can get some new smells.
