Responsible, timely, & love doggos!

Pet care experience

Have experience with family dogs and dog sitting for friends. I was a psychology major who specialized in behavior and cognition and as part of my senior thesis we trained dogs at the local kennel for 6 months.

Derek was great! I was nervous having someone walk my dog other than myself due to his pulling and hyperness but Derek reassured me and made me feel confident in his ability to handle blaze. I loved that he sent me messages and pictures too! I would definitely recommend series to anyone and will be using him in the future.

Derek is great with dogs and very responsible. I trust him with my two small dogs and know that he does great with larger breeds as well. He’s very reliable and will always get the job done!
