2.5 acres to run and play!!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was kid. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I currently have 4 dogs that I have all trained. 2 are rescues and 2 are bird dogs that love to play!

Great experience. Derek communicated regularly and the dogs were well cared for. Will reach out to Derek for future needs.

Thank you Derek for taking wonderful care of our girls. They are happy and by your pictures, looks as though they had a great time.

We were so satisfied with Derek's care for our dog, Ivy. In the past when we took her to a sitter she would get very ill the following day after picking her up. This time she was perfect! Last night she was happy and healthy! We received several pictures during our vacation and a video of her playing fetch with Derek outside. We will definitely use Derek's services again.

We suddenly needed a boarder for our 8 month old puppy and were a little anxious about it. Upon meeting Derik, he put our mind at ease immediately. He has a nice fenced in yard where dogs can run and play. Every picture he sent us showed a very happy active puppy. We will definitely be using Derik again!
