Highlights
Pet care experience
passionate for furry friends
As a beginner, I bring a lot of enthusiasm, reliability, and a genuine love for animals. While I’m just starting out professionally, I’ve spent plenty of time caring for pets of friends and family, including feeding, walking, playing, and giving lots of attention. Putting the pet’s comfort and safety first is always top priority. I may be new, but I’m dedicated, responsible, and excited to provide the best care possible for your furry family members.
Cat care experience
Derica also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your pet will feel right at home. My living space is calm, tidy, and well-suited for both play and relaxation. There’s a park just a short walk away, perfect for regular walks and outdoor time for dogs. For cats, I create a quiet, cozy space where they can feel comfortable, explore safely, and enjoy plenty of affection (or alone time, if they prefer). Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine.
Ratings and reviews
Derica was great, met Toby the day before, and arrived on time. Stayed with Toby the whole day, walked him and fed him. Highly recommended!

Schedule
Taking care of pets fits really well into my routine! Right now, I work at The Cheesecake Factory, where I usually have 4-hour shifts about five days a week, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I also volunteer at the hospital every Tuesday from 4:00–8:00 p.m. My college classes don't start until late August, and even then I'll only have class on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Overall, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention, care, and love they deserve!
