Work from home - Across from Park!

Pet care experience

Dogs are amazing, obviously. Since they are so amazing, why would you deny YOUR dog, the dog you care about most in this world, the time and attention they deserve? Exactly! You wouldn't! That is where I come in! I can provide true companionship and care when your dog needs it most. The best part of this is that I know all dogs are different, so no matter what their preference is, whether it be lounging the day away or walking for miles on the greenway, I can provide them with everything they need. Your dog will be wagging its tail at 100 mph when they see me, and just as importantly I will be just as excited to see them, I can guarantee it!

Derek was great! He's in a great spot near the park and his dogs were so friendly. He sent pictures while we were away and made it all really easy.

Everything went well with my dog's walk. Derek was reliable and had good communication. No problems!

Derek is reliable, he communicates well, and he takes our dog on fantastic walks around the neighborhood. I don’t recommend him, because I want him all to myself!...kidding of course, hire him!

Derek has been wonderful with our dogs. He delivers as promised and does an excellent job communicating with us both pre-visit and post-visit. We absolutely love getting out Rover card reports from him! Highly recommend Derek for your own pack.

I would like to know their general likes and dislikes. Any weird/fun/annoying habits. Dietary restrictions. How they interact with other animals. No breed preference.

A typical day

I live on the Greenway so there are plenty of walking trails and areas to swim to choose from! There are also a lot of big open fields to play fun games like fetch!
