Everything was mostly ok. Dogs seemed ok but the house, especially the kitchen was left pretty dirty. I addressed this with him.

Derek is literally the best!!! He sits for my dear puppy Cleo all the time when i’m away. Everytime I come back Cleo does not want to leave him! Hes the best dog walker and caregiver i’ve found so far!! 🐾🐶

Derek is the perfect person to trust with your furry friends. Not only is he incredibly smart and reliable, but his genuine love for dogs shines through in everything he does. I've seen firsthand how much joy he brings to the dogs he walks, ensuring they're happy, healthy, and well-cared for. You can count on Derek to treat your pets with the same care and affection he would his own.
