Highlights
Pet care experience
Full-time Sitter
Please read before requesting. I can’t take dogs that pull at all on walks as I’ve had recent injuries. I am gone 2 hours max each day then with the pups the rest of the day so please let me know if your pup isn’t able to stay home for 2 hours without anxiety* I watch multiple dogs at a time but take only one new dog at a time to join with my regulars I’ve watched before* I’ve been with Rover since 2015 and a full-time dog boarder for 2+ years. I have loved being around animals since I was a child with many dogs and cats as well. Being around dogs is my passion and I enjoy every furry encounter. I’m very well experienced and love what I do! See everyone soon!!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
My cat ziggy always looks so happy in all the photos and videos Derek shares. We always feel so at ease knowing ziggy feels so at home with Derek, and gets lots of love, attention and playtime:)
Another great stay with Derek!! My pup could hardly wait to get out of the car at drop off when she realized she was going to him!
Another great stay with Derek! My fur baby got so excited when she saw him and immediately rolled over for a belly rub. Derek's communication was great and my girl came home happy. Thank you, Derek for another great stay!
Bea is always happy to see Derek. He sends daily updates and I know she loves their walks. He even helped her with her dry nose that I had accepted was just something she was always going to have an issue with.
Derek was wonderful! We set up a meet and greet prior to my dog's stay so she could get to know Derek and the other dogs in his care. She immediately connected with Derek and the other dogs. Derek kept me updated during her stay with pictures and videos and he was flexible when we had last minute changes to our travel plans. Highly recommend Derek for doggie care!
Derek was awesome! He took great care of my dog and even got him a Christmas treat. I can tell that he is a loving caring person, and I would definitely recommend his care to others.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets by making sure their diet and any other duties according to the owner is properly exercised. I only give filtered water to my little friends, not tap💦 On my adventures with the pups we have gone for 5+ hour/5+ mile hikes to Griffith Park (Observatory, Hollywood Sign etc.) and walk/runs to Echo Park Lake & La Live Dog Park*see pics
A typical day
I'm very hands on, playful and affectionate with all the fur babies. On average we do around 3+ walks per day but could be outside 2+ hours at a time going to the park. Most enjoy being outside as do I so that’s where we spend a lot of time.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsDogs over 1 year oldDerek can host up to 3 pets per night
- Please let me know if your little one has any special dietary needs or any other special conditions that need to be cared for or instructions to be followed. Please let me know of any aggression towards other pups, or if they get protective over toys/bones. All dogs are fed separately even if they get along to avoid any conflict** Your pup must be up to date on vaccinations and flea & tick prevention or I can’t take them*** If needed, we can also do a meet and greet before your pups stay:) See everyone soon!!
