Your pets will love me!

Pet care experience

I began walking dogs for elderly neighbors, which grew into house sitting and caring for their dogs for weeks at a time. I am a stay at home dad of an awesome 17th months young boy, so "gig work" allows me to contribute to the family income and still care for our little guy.

Derik is an amazingly loving pet caregiver and walker. My Phoebe was so pleased and calm. She has anxiety and is very cautious around other people and animals. Whenever she gets around Derek she calms down because of his calm demeanor and his attention to detail. I recommend Derik for all of your small family member needs. Phoebe and I are grateful.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently am not a pet parent. While caring for my doggy clients, I enjoy spending significant time with them whether at their home or on regular walks through out the day and night. Food and medicine schedules are adhered to and they stay hydrated. I look forward to providing care for your four legged family member!

Information Derik H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs or concerns, behavioral issues, especially around toddlers as I keep my 17 month old son with me during my doggy care.

A typical day

I make the time to really bond with my doggy clients, by lots of belly scratching, talking to them regularly, playing games like go-fetch, and not rushing our walks.
