Derek was a wonderful dog sitter/ house sitter for my St. Bernard, Bennad. Derek took my hyper dog to dog parks, long walks, and tended to his needs when I was out of town. Derek provided me with constant updates, and made me feel so comfortable leaving my sweet Bennad. I will use Derek for all of my future dog sitting needs.

Derek did a truly amazing job caring for my golden retriever puppy, Blue. I was very nervous to leave my hyper dog for a week, but Derek took such good care of Blue. I have recommended Derek to all of my friends and family in the area. Thank you Derek you made my vacation worry-free. I hope to see you again!

Derek did a great job taking care of our Westie, Rat Terrier and Mini Schnauzer several times and would highly recommend him! He did a great job and the dogs loved him.

Derek was our go to dog sitter for several years before my wife and I relocated for jobs. Took our little Mylie outside for walks and always made sure she had fresh food and water. Even took her to a couple training courses for us to keep up on her training! Derek was fantastic and I would highly recommend his attentive services to anyone!

Information Derek Y. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know how your dog reacts to other dogs and people as I have lots of neighbors who are all friendly but want to be prepared. If you do crate training or prefer free roam. If there are any medications or special treatments such as dietary restrictions/allergy’s please have them ready with instructions in advance.

A typical day

A typical day usually looks like a walk in the morning with a cup of coffee around the complex to clear our heads and get ready the day ahead. A bathroom break after lunch and some play time with our favorite toys. We grab dinner on the go and catch a beautiful sunset overlooking bay shore before falling asleep to Ozark, peaky Blinders, or any other shows that might be on.
