Derek is wondrrful! He took care of my dog so well! Dereck’s house is spacious , clean. He also have a very safe big backyard , which is perfect for my dog to play and explore . Dereck sends pictures regularly. I would recommend Derek to all the dog parents . I will continue boarding my dog with Derek .
