A/C in Apartment, lots of love!

Pet care experience

Hey there, my name is Derek. I grew up with Labradors and took care of them in my teenage years. I've always been very fond of dogs of all breeds and personalities. I'm the type of person you see smiling at your pooch from across the street wishing he could pet it. I have an apartment here in Eastlake with my wife, and it's a beautiful place. I work a part time job, but between my wife and I we are home most of the time for any dogs we are sitting. At most they could be alone for 4 hours, but most days one of us will be home at all times. I'm very loving and would go above and beyond to keep your pup happy, and safe. If your dog has any special needs I'm here to facilitate them. If you need a daily photo or video of your dog, I'm happy to do that as well. I hope you choose me to take care of your dog, and can't wait to meet them!

Zeke always came back to us happy and healthy, and we got our dose of pictures while we were away. Highly recommend Derek!

First time using Rover. We’re very happy we chose Derek and his wife. Our dog was ready for a family nap in the afternoon.

Derek and Cali took great care of Zeke! We were gone for a week and felt totally confident and at ease the whole time. Derek sent updates and we knew Zeke was happy, comfortable and well taken care of. We'll definitely reach out to Derek in the future!

This was Lily’s 3rd and longest stay with Derek and his wife and they were great. They were super flexible with drop off and pickup and Lily was very excited to see Derek when we dropped her off. We got several photos and updates throughout our trip and she came back to us happy and healthy.

Information Derek R. would like to know about your pet

The only thing I worry about is if your dog is bathroom trained, or tends to be aggressive. As far as breed preferences I am not picky. I love French Bulldogs, but would be happy to wrestle a Great Dane if need be.

A typical day

I live in a nice neighborhood by the water, with plenty of parks to walk to that are friendly for your dog!
