Your pup is no match for me!

Pet care experience

I've been a dog owner for all my life, and i am also a first time cat owner, and of you have cats, we can also talk about that. Im primarily looking to get dogs to walk, because i think that would fit me the best, but I am open to sitting and drop ins depending on convenience, distance, and transportation. I love dogs so much, and i am very patient with them because i have my own and know how stubborn they can be. But I can accept the fact that appreciating the loving creatures they are is all we can do! I have five dogs of my own and me and my mom walk them, with me handling the two pitbulls, so i don't have trouble handling strong dogs, granted i never walked, nor had a giant dog. Just know i will do everything in my power to make sure your doggie is happy fed, hydrated, and drained after a nice walk!

I believe those that can relate to animals can heal the world.. Derek is a proud animal owner of many and as a pet owner myself I feel at perfect ease with my own in his care. A pet, whatever species chosen, is considered family and he treats them as such. To communicate with love and treat them as one would treat a brother or grandmother is a must and Derek goes above and beyond to make sure each and every one of his family is taken of. It’s a beautiful sight to see a man take care of animals as if they were his children. I highly recommend Derek to take care of my dogs, Biko and Ture, as he has in the past. I guarantee it’s a noticeabley life-changing experience for your pet.

Information Derek V. would like to know about your pet

I guess it'll always be good to know if they interact well with others, or if they like to run or not. Just what to expect if i'd take your dog for a walk. No breed preference.

A typical day

I have a high tolerance for playing fetch, so if your pup knows how to fetch, we could be there longer than 30 minutes!!
