Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Derek. Im a Chicago native whose been around dogs my entire life and love everything about them. My girlfriend and I just recently adopted a lab/pit mix named Kaia, whose an absolute sweetheart. She’s still a pup, but super intelligent and incredibly effecionate. I also have a Collie / Husky / Australian shepherd mix named Keith who lives back home with my parents. He's a big guy who loves to cuddle, run and eat! Unfortunately, he was recently diagnosed with epilepsy, so he’s been on daily medication. Good thing is that he’s been 100% better since taking his medicine. My family also has a silky terrier who’s 13. She may be older but she’s still full of energy and never misses an opportunity to chase a squirrel. I'm comfortable sitting, feeding, walking, or just hanging out with your furry companions! I do have a full-time job, so this is a fun hobby for me on mostly weekends and evenings. So, if you're in need of a date night or a weekend getaway, feel free to contact me and I can watch the pups while you're away.
Reviews
I have two cats - one who loves all people, and one who discriminates against men, but that isn't an issue with Derek. After meeting him just a couple of times, his gentle, fun-loving nature and warmth quickly put him at the top of my cats' list of favorite people, which is quite the feat. He takes care of them for me pretty regularly, and for up to five days at a time, and he always gives me detailed reports on where they slept, how they ate, whether or not they woke him up by walking on his face, etc. Aside from my cats, I've seen him with several dogs too. He's always ready for some action - fetch, tug-o-war, goofy running games, etc. He knows how to keep a pup happy and entertained!
