Love to care for pets!

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of pets since I was 9 years old. Ever since my dog Daisy died when I was in High School I have been jumping at the opportunity to care of my friends and families pets. It is always the highlight of my day to visit the different pets and I would almost say I like to see my families pets more then my actual family.

Derek took great care of our kitten and dog! He played with them, snuggled with them, fed and walked them on schedule and sent photos. Definitely would and will rebook!

Derek was great! And even let me bring my dog a couple hours earlier than we had booked. Nice guy! Will book again with Derek in the future!
