My neighbors call me dog whisperer
Pet care experience
I have cared for dog's my entire life and have mastered the behind the ear rub, and chest rub as well! This turns all dog's into my new friend! I am available to run with the big dogs that need a bit more energy exertion than the smaller canines. I have skills delicately handling dogs as small as yorkies, to firmly caring for bigguns such as chow chows, dalmations, and pit bulls. I have never been attacked and protect all dog's as a pack leader would! Currently I care for a three year old boxer/hound hybrid named Butters who I walk and play with everyday. He is a rescue dog and had little socializing as a pup so it's mostly just us however he is a great companion and I feel he thinks the same of me.
Reviews
Derek was great at our Meet and Greet and was very gentle and loving with my little Anya. He did everything in the Drop-In visits that we had discussed and I could tell through pictures that she had a blast playing with him!
I was very pleased with Derek's reliability and Dallas enjoyed his company as well. I have never seen him get friendly with someone so fast, let along pick him up. I recommend Derek for small dog owners. Very professional.

Skills
Information Derek S. would like to know about your pet
No dog is too much for me to handle however if special handling is necessary I would definitely love to know beforehand. This may include past fights or other violent incidents, treat restrictions, mental issues (separation anxiety)
A typical day
We can go for walks in nearby parks or just around the block a few times. If I'm sitting we will get plenty of exercise playing tug of war, and if requested I can work on reaching new tricks!
