Dogs naturally love me

Pet care experience

Im a dog lover, Ive had all different kinds of dogs since I was a kid from small to large. I’m very energetic and athletic so high energy dogs will definitely be able to get a lot of playing done with me. I follow instructions specifically to your liking because I would want the same thing for my own dog. I can even provide baths and nail clippings too. I love animals, and especially dogs. Being a dog sitter because it gives me a chance to meet new doggie friends. I like to interact with all different breeds of dogs, When your pets are with me you have no worries at all. All my guests get a daily report on our activities and well being. That also include daily pictures of your pets. When your pets are with me, I want them to feel as if they are in a home away from home.

I want to start off by saying how kind responsible and attentive he was to my fur baby! My fur baby is very anxious. She’s a rescue and she is extremely nervous around strangers… when we did our meeting greet I could tell how comfortable she was with him prior to booking with Derek.He did everything he possibly could to make her comfortable, took her on extra walks, gave her extra treats and sent countless videos and pictures. I definitely will be booking with him again no hesitation, and would recommend him to all my family and my friends! Thank you derek your amazing.

Very responsible, very accommodating during my pet Harley stay. I chose rover because I did not want my pet to be in a kennel all day while I was on vacation and it was the best thing I could do. I constantly got videos, pictures and updates from Derek walking my dog and playing with him overall an amazing experience, and I will be booking with him again!
