Pet care experience

Originally from Texas, my family and I have always been and remain to be dog owners and lovers. I have owned and enjoyed breeds from 100pound pit bulls to a 8pound Pom. Laid back and active personality assists in comfortable and entertaining experiences for pets. I have easy access to a fenced in back yard, and a park nearby. I have plenty of experience in keeping dogs entertained whether it’s throwing a ball, going for a walk, or tug of war with their favorite rope toy I get almost as much enjoyment out of the activities as the dogs! Living so far from home has kept me from getting a dog of my own, as travel issues could be hard between seattle and Texas..therefore, I’m getting my dog fix via Rover!

Derek has always had a love of dogs... He enjoys all types . He is especially good with dogs that need a lot a of activity. It s a challenge, he gladly accepts to see who runs out of energy first. He has helped with our dogs on numerous occasions and they all LOVE him. Whether it is a docile dog or one that takes a little more control , he can work with all types. If you want peace of mind that your family member is getting top of the line care then Derek is your man.

Derek is wonderful, dependable and every dog absolutely loves him. Any dog left in his care is beyond spoiled. Derek is very attentive to any special needs the dog might have. He is very active and can take your dogs outdoors or just cuddle on the couch with them (or both). Derek has kept my dogs before and every time I'm 100% sure they are in great care. You would have an exceptional dog sitter that would shower your baby with love and affection as if it were his own dog.

Derek is an amazing dog sitter. He was basically a second parent to my puppy when I away. Always respectful of my wishes regarding training, diet, and behavior toward my dog. I have a needy large lap dog who was a difficult puppy. Derek was patient and loving toward my fur-baby. He goes above and beyond. My dog is now 8 yrs old and to this day Derek is still the only sitter I trust.
