Pet care experience
I’m a veteran and military spouse, so I completely understand deployments, TDYs, and last-minute leave plans to see family. I also have on-base access, which makes coordinating care even easier for military families. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for pets is second nature to me—not just a job. I love taking dogs out for neighborhood walks or runs and have a blast teaching fun tricks and reinforcing good manners. I’m also happy to water houseplants while you’re away, if needed. Whether your pet wants to burn off energy or curl up for extra love, I treat every furry friend like my own and keep you updated so you can relax while you’re away.
Reviews

I feel really lucky to have found Derrica. She was so flexible and easy to work with, which made everything feel a lot less stressful from the start. What meant the most to me was how genuinely caring she is. You can just tell she really loves the animals she’s watching. She kept me updated with the best pictures, which I genuinely looked forward to, and she was always quick to reach out if anything came up. That kind of communication made such a difference and gave me real peace of mind. And honestly, Virgo loving her said everything. It was clear she felt comfortable and happy with her, which means the world to me. I’m so grateful to have found someone so reliable, kind, and attentive. I would absolutely trust Derrica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet.

Derrica was very attentive and took great care of Lily. She was very flexible and was able to accommodate my changing schedule



I cannot say enough amazing things about Derrica. She did daily 30-minute drop-ins for our three cats while we visited family in Florida, with a 5 hour time difference. From the very first visit, we felt completely at ease. As an anxious pet parent with two senior cats and a kitten, leaving them is never easy. Derrica went above and beyond to make sure we felt connected and reassured the entire time. Her updates were detailed, thoughtful, and genuinely comforting. She didn’t just say “they’re fine” — she told us how they were acting, who was being clingy, who was being a scared cat, and how everyone was doing. And the pictures. The pictures were incredible. Clear, plentiful, and full of personality. It felt like we were still part of their daily lives. She was especially attentive to our seniors, which meant the world to us. Anyone can scoop a litter box and top off water, but Derrica truly cared. You could tell she took the time to observe them, interact with them, and make sure they were emotionally okay, not just physically cared for. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean space. (She even cleaned up all the toys that the kitten CONSTANTLY pulls out of the toy box!) That says everything. If you’re even remotely nervous about leaving your pets, book her. We absolutely will again without hesitation!



We absolutely love Derrica! She was so attentive to our pups, provided us with updates & photos every step of the way, and was so helpful all around. Looking forward to having her watch our pups again!
