Your Dogs Home Away From Home
Pet care experience
I grew up in a home full of dogs! My mother was a Vet Technician and owned her own in home dog sitting company. I would assist her with the boardings and dog walking all over Caledon, ON. Some dogs would stay for 1 day or 3 weeks, I always enjoyed having new pups in the house. I spent many of my childhood hours volunteering at Wildcare and Earth Rangers assisting vets and technicians on the rehabilitation of all wild animals (fawns,racoons,birds etc). I feel with all of the years of animal experience, my mother has ingrained the same love and compassion she had for animals into me. With a securely fenced in backyard and a 4 bedroom detached house with plenty of doggy couches, nestled in the heart of Richmond Hill area your dog has plenty of cozy places to make his/her stay that much more welcoming! I currently use Dr. Kadri (10 minutes away) at Richmond Hill Vet, he is always open to answering some questions at no cost. My brother Brandon(33) works from home 7 days a week, as well and he has the same love and compassion as I do for animals as we had taken care of our own 2 pups for their entire lives! We unfortunately have now lost both of our lovely family members to old age and illness so we both are extremely happy to welcome your furry family members into our home!
Reviews
Derek did a great job! He made sure that the 3 cats are well taken care of and they are in the pictures so we can see them while out of the country. Thank you so much Derek for your dedication, effort and constant communication! Will use your amazing service again in the future!
My dogs had a wonderful stay with Derek! I could tell they were well cared for and loved while I was away. Derek kept me updated with photos and messages which made me feel reassured and at ease. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Derek as a sitter again in the future. Thank you!
We are very happy that Derek took very good care of Nugget. Nugget has trust issue, but Derek was very patience with him. From the pictures Derek sent us, it seemed like Nugget had a great time staying with Derek. I couldn't ask for a better person to take care Nugget. Thank you again for taking care of Nugget for us.
Thanks Derek for taking very good care of Lily and keeping her active

Dogs are free to roam our entire house with plenty of couches in the basement and living room. We have a spare bedroom on the upper floor they’re are welcome to jump on the bed and we have multiple dog beds throughout the house. Dogs are here to feel comfortable away from their family as it can be very stressful on dogs! I will do my absolute best to make sure your dog is happy and comfortable!

Information Derek P. would like to know about your pet
• House trained and in a healthy state. • People friendly. • Your dogs current and past health information. • Your feeding plan whether its kibble or mixture or raw diet and time of day for feeding
A typical day
Depending on your dogs energy levels I will take them to trails or the best areas for dogs in your surrounding area. I am an athletic 31 year old male that so if your dog loves to run, we’re going for a nice run! If your dog is slowing down with age or just a little less active and prefers to sniff up the neighbourhood, then sniff away!
