I'll love your dog like my own!

Pet care experience

Getting paid to hang out with dogs is like a dream come true! I love dogs so much and I’m pretty sure they can tell when they meet me. I have looked after family dogs my whole life and grown up with a huge love for all animals. I have looked after many of my friends' dogs while they go out of town. I've taken care of all different breeds and sizes, even different medical conditions. I have a cat right now. He is so much fun! Cats and dogs are very different when it comes to training, but it is very possible to train a cat. We are teaching Thomas (our cat) to go potty on the toilet. It's quite a process but he is doing great! He plays fetch with us, and even comes when he's called. I'd love to meet you and learn more about your furry friend. I'll treat them like they're my very own, so you can be confident when you're out of town. Please reach out to me with any questions and I can't wait to hear from you.

I am new to the area and had to leave town for 9 days. I have a cat and had to find someone at the last minute to watch her. I was worried that this app was more about dogs than cats but then I found a few who mentioned cats in their profile. Derek responded promptly and happened to own a cat himself so I went with him. He did an excellent job! Unfortunately, my cat has a sensitive stomach so she left a few messes (vomit) on the carpet and Derek did a great job cleaning those up too, along with all the other stuff that he did. All in all, I would highly recommend Derek, he's very responsible, reliable and able to take great care of your pet.

Derek was absolutely amazing! All 4 of our dogs loved getting to play with him every day while we were out of town. My neighbors even commented on how great he was with them! This was our first time using Rover and I was a little nervous leaving our babies with a new person but Derek spent a lot of time meeting them and asking questions about them before confirming his visits. It really put me at ease. He took lots of pictures and kept us updated each day. I highly recommend Derek and will definitely book with him in the future!

Information Derek O. would like to know about your pet

I love bigger dogs. The bigger the better. But no matter what their size, I love hearing all about them. Tell me everything! -medical needs -behavioral quirks -daily routines -favorite games -snuggles? -training words/commands -may I send you puppy pics? -any other things you want me to know!

A typical day

When your dog stays with me they will get plenty of love and lots of play time! I have a few spots nearby that are great nature trails. Depending on the pup's athleticism, there are different trails ranging in extremely-easy to less-easy-but-not-hard! I would never want to over work your dog, and I will keep this in mind while walking them. Then we’ll head home to chill and listen to music. If your pup is a snuggler I’m all arms.
