Pet care experience
Q: How do you stop a dog from barking in the front yard? A: By putting them in the back yard. Well, if you’re living in San Diego and like me you have neither so you do what the majority of us do and go to the dog park. I’d consider myself an expert in all things dog park related: playing, exercising, training, and socializing. My little boy Apollo and I are typically at the dog park for a good 2 hours every day (there’s one at my Apt complex). For boarding and day care I do walks, dog park visits (if ok with you), and regular potty breaks every 2-4 hours. This includes a friendly dog to play with who has lots of energy!
Reviews
Derek was awesome! He sent so many pictures and updates throughout my dog’s stay
Archie had an amazing time with Derek. They went to the park every day and got to hang out with other dogs. He sent me pictures every day of Archie while I was gone which was amazing. He also made a cute little magnet of Archie! 100% will use him again!!!
Derek was an absolute lifesaver! He was able to watch Jameson last minute and I was so grateful. I got photo updates and Jameson was happy exhausted when I picked him up. Thanks so much!
Derek was incredible taking care of Luna! He sent me photos everyday and made me feel at ease leaving her while I was away! 10/10

For boarding and day care I follow a similar schedule to what I do with Apollo (take out 3-4 times a day with 2 hours at the dog park). Feeding depends on your preference. I have a kennel if needed, toys, treats, dog beds, extra bowls, and pretty much anything else you could think of.

Information Derek S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs that may require further attention. I’ve worked with all makes and models and more than happy to cater to their individualized needs.
A typical day
Typical day for me is to take Apollo out in the morning around 6. Then he eats. Back out around 11. Dog park from about 3-5, 30 min of down time or so when we get home. Then he eats again. Take him out one last time around 9 or 10. Wake up, and do all over again.
