Animal lover with some free time!

Pet care experience

I grew up always having 2-3 dogs around (labs/shelties/shih tzu's/etc.) Have always been a contact for friends/family that need their pets looked after or walked.

Derek was awesome for the week that he cared for my pup. He kept me updated and sent photos. Was very communicative throughout. I would recommend him to anyone.

Derek was able to help us with a last-minute request. He gave us updates about our dog and was accommodating and simple to get in touch with. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently do not have a dog at home, but have a very cute cat, Kiwi! I grew up with dogs and have learned to love cats as well once I moved in with my girlfriend. I bathe our cat occasionally (when she lets me/when its needed), have bathed many dogs over the past 20 years. Love petting/walking dogs and making sure they are happy!
