Highlights
Pet care experience
Your baby's favorite person!
I have had all kinds of dogs my entire life…ranging from Great Danes to Chihuahuas (in that order 😊)! I never miss a chance to say hi and give love to the animals I come across in my daily ventures. I have also been involved in animal rescue for more than 15 years and have fostered no less than 40 dogs. I've even nursed baby wildlife back to health! Admittedly, I have never owned my own cat, but have lived with and loved several. I am considering adding a cat to my family, so would love to get some hands-on experience with them in addition to dogs. My own dog is a 15-year-old, 13 pound Long-haired Chihuahua mix and has fostered at least 20 dogs himself. He is in fact, a foster failure 😊. Looking forward to meeting your pets…oh and you too!

Derek is awesome! I know Brody loves a sleepover when he waits at the garage for me to take him back! Lmao. Will book again! Thanks Derek!!
Derek is dependable and great with my dog. So happy with his care.
Derek was great and Zuko had a great time hanging and cuddling with them!
Dereck was great for our first drop in visit. Sent pics and an update on Dino. We’re looking forward to our first weekend stay.
Felix loves staying with Derek and his pup Ronaldo! Derek was fabulous as always.
Derek was so great!! He sent cute pictures throughout the day and was fantastic with communication. Looked like my dog had such a fun day :) Would no doubt book with him again.

Schedule
I work from home so I am home most of the time. If I go to the gym, or store, or wherever, it is usually for 2 hours or less.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a townhome, so I do not have a dedicated yard, but I do have lots of sidewalks and grassy areas just outside where I walk my own dog at least 4 times a day. There are also 2 large parks right next to my house that we visit often. I don't mind pets on my bed and can crate your dog or cat (or not) depending on their preference. Simply put, pets are treated like precious family members in my house!
