1) times they eat and amounts 2) any medications or special needs 3) favorite activities and toys 4) normal walk times 5) how they do with people and pets 6) anything else!

A typical day

I work 9-5 with very flexible hours and time off. My partner works from home. We spend a lot of time in our backyard and our dog is with us. Enjoy long walks and playing fetch.

Pet care experience

I am Derek. I have cared for everything from litters of kittens to horses. My passion is animals and I have three cats, one dog and various foster pets of my own. I understand that our pets ARE our kids! Whether it is walking your dog, or watching your cat for the week; I will care for your critters as if they are my own. Let me know how I can best care for your fur ball, when they eat, and any special needs. I will provide the rest! Current residents of our home include one very friendly and plump male short hair cat, his shy little sister, an energetic 3.5 year old australian shepherd / collie mix, a 2 year old Lab / German Shepherd mix and I. Thank you, Derek

I have 4 cats, 2 of them are 1/2 feral. They are indoor/outdoor and Derek made sure they all received wet food twice a day. They were happy kitties when I got home. I live in the country and Derek was willing to drive to help me out. A great experience, I will ask Derek for help with vacations in the future

We love this guy! Derek is very friendly, honest, and sincere. It's clear he loves animals and vice-versa. My cats liked him a lot and he was good about following our instructions, and making adjustments as needed. We will definitely use him again! Highly recommended.

Derek is very professional and dependable. He has a clear passion and love of animals, and was comfortable around our highly reactive and unpredictable Shiba Inu.
