Highlights
Pet care experience
Fur babies= Unconditional love
I owned my first dog when I was 17 years old. His name was Champ (samoyed). I got him when he was a puppy and he was my buddy and spirit animal. I raised him to be a therapy dog and used to take him to nursing homes. I fell in love with the breed and began breeding and rescuing. Samoyeds are a handful between walking, brushing and bathing, haha. But I enjoyed every second of it!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I unfortunately currently don't have any pets. I would care for my clients pets with love care and respect. I am a residential carpenter, so I am from familiar with caring for someone else's home better than my own.
Ratings and reviews
Derek was absolutely wonderful with my English Bulldog this weekend! 🐾❤️ From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing Hades was in such good hands. He was attentive, caring, and incredibly responsible, and he went above and beyond to keep me updated throughout the entire stay. The pictures and updates he sent were such a thoughtful touch—they gave me peace of mind and let me see that Hades was happy, comfortable, and being well cared for. It was clear that Derek genuinely cared about him and treated him like he was his own. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, dependable, and truly loving with animals, I highly recommend Derek. I will absolutely be booking with him again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Derek was great with our cat and dog. He kept us updated and sent pictures. They both looked so happy. Our house was in better shape than we left it. Thanks, Derek. You’re our go to from now on.
Easy-going, flexible and communicative. Seems to do well with our dogs, would recommend.
