I’ll bring them back tired!

Pet care experience

I’ve got aims to become a dog trainer. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for several pets, mainly dogs and rabbits. Being familiar with prey species, I’ve got a soft spot for the timid and fearful dog in your life. I’m working to become a dog trainer, and I’d be more than happy to support your training goals when I’m with your pet.

Derek is calm, confident and handled our large dog very well! He asked great questions and I was reassured our dog was in good hands.

Derek was very attentive to Coco. He gave me great feedback about the hour long walk. She came back very happy and tired. He is very friendly and Coco seemed to enjoy his company very much! We will book with Derek again soon.
