Professional athlete who loves DOGS

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs all my life, I can’t say anything else but that my love for these animals are everything!! I am I professional athlete that cares and loves and respects all animals but dogs are my weakness!!! I use to always make sure when I was on my free time away from football in college (Arizona state) to always visit the dog shelters and help out any way possible!! I’ve raised dogs since I was almost 9! My first dog was a Rottweiler so big dogs aren’t anything for me to handle ! Period point blank your dog is safe hands !! I’m current going to be playing for marshawn Lynch’s new indoor team in Oakland so for a part time job I seen this and got super excited because I get to be with DOGS... like who wouldn’t want to do this ? Lol in my opinion

Better than I could have imagined! He is AMAZING with dogs and was so good with her! Treated her like his own right away which is what any owner wants. She was happy and taken care of. I would use and recommend Derik again for sure!!

Derik responded immediately to our last minute request for drop in dog-sitting (our dog transporter arrived 2+ days early). He came over late on a Saturday night for a last minute meet and greet and got oriented to everything. Communicated with us several times during the stay, sending pictures and updates and asking clarification on directions. The dogs seemed happy and well-cared for when we returned Sunday evening. Would definitely use Derik to dog-sit again.

DJ took very good care of my dog Sophie when I was out of town. She's a rescue and doesn't take to just anyone. He had a special way of gaining her trust and was able to put her at ease. Gave her just the right attention and she was good at following his commands when on a leash walking. He has a special knack with animals for sure!

Dj is such a great person for this job. He loves dogs so much, that in his free time he will sometime look up dog documentaries to watch, or even go to the animal shelter to interact with the dogs there. He is kind and loving towards dogs and he would be very trustworthy to watch your pet!
