Dogs are life. Love them!

Pet care experience

I'm a college student and I have been working Petsmart Pets Hotel for the last 8 years. Over the last 8 years, I have a developed knowledge about dogs and the care they require. I have also been house-sitting for friends and family since I was a teenager. I treat all the animals in my care like I would my own child. Dog's are like family and I understand this. I am extremely comfortable with any breed and all temperaments. I am a caring guy. I have a lot of experience taking care of pets, mostly dogs. Just know you are getting the best care available. Since I have been around dogs for so long I have the ability to sense what they are feeling and can acclimate myself to their needs and desires.

Derek took absolutely wonderful care of my pup and gave my kitties extra love to boot. He was excellent and responsive in attending to Bella's leash aggression which is something I always feel nervous about when I'm away. It was a great comfort. He brings a great deal of knowledge and experience in handling and caring for dogs of all types. Highly recommend!
